BTCSportsmatch is very tough to rate. The book side, that is no longer in existence, stole 8 BTC from booslock. Personally, I don't like to give a book a mulligan. That said, there has been strong support for the exchange from very credible posters. BTCSports has not had any problems on the exchange side.
Is it the same company? Then one side is liable for what the other side has done. Yes and I agree. They recently shut down the sportsbook side. |

I don't like the idea of my offer being accepted at a different price. Some posters feel that the positives out weigh this negative. The majority always wins when rating books. One great thing that has happened here is that there has been enough poster feedback that the players have a lot of information at their disposal without solely relying on a grade.

BTCSportsBet, Bitcoin Sportsbook, yet to comment on stealing $6,700
By: SBR | Tuesday, January 14, 2014
BTCSportsBet, the Bitcoin sportsbook which was the subject of SBR's advisory video report Friday, has declined comment to SBR since the report's publication. BTCSportsBet refused to pay 8 BTC (valued at $6,700 at the time) in winnings from four wagers. The wagers were placed at valid market odds and were not entered late.
BTCSportsBet has claimed to be the largest and oldest sportsbook of its kind - an assertion that has been rejected by at least one bitcoin betting reviews site.
"They are definitely not the biggest, that is bitbook. I never affiliated with them as they did not look like a good option for players compared to the top places," the site manager noted on condition of anonymity.
BTCSportsBet's web server resolves to Germany, although no public address or even headquarters location is made available through their website. The transaction wallet is proprietary software coded in PHP and JSON. The betting software used to display lines and accept wagers is unknown but presumed to also be proprietary.
A standard wager ticket appears as following on the BTCSportsBet website:
SBR welcomes feedback from readers who might have information on the betting software being used by BTCSportsBet.
BTCSportsBet, bitcoin sportsbook, steals $6,700 in player winnings is the complaint cited in this article. Prior to this publication, BTCSportsBet traded a few contentiously worded messages with SBR suggesting that their reputation within the bitcoin community was strong enough to overcome any PR damage caused by the report. That theory has already been put to test as the player who was shorted $6,700 has aired his grievance at BitCoinTalk.org, a forum BTC Sports Bet previously advertised their service in.
Watch the SBR video concerning the winnings theft:
SBR is in the process of creating a bitcoin section on Sportsbook Review.com. BTC Sports Bet has been added to the SBR Sportsbook Blacklist at the mark of F. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/sbr-news/btcsportsbet-bitcoin-sportsbook-yet-comment-stealing-6-700-6087/ |

BTCsportsmatch and BTCsportsbet are thieves. They stole 8btc from me which was well documented on SBR and elsewhere. Maybe Raiders can contact them on my behalf since they wouldnt reply to anyone else.   I think their lips are sealed. I'll go find your case on SBR and post it. Your case played a major role in the ratings. |

Gogo- Being anonymous has nothing to do with a bitcoin book. The two oldest books in Anonibet and BTCSportmatch remain anonymous.

Books- I don't want to take this thread too far off course but the NCAA tournament is right around the corner and the following may be of interest to players:
1. Are you taking bets on the individual games? sides, totals, props?
2. What are the limits?
3. Will you have live betting?
Hi Peeps Place, 1. We are taking bets on almost every game, including sides, totals, and props. In fact, we're looking at adding some pretty exciting new props. Our NBA "race to 20 points" markets have been extremely popular. 2. Our NCAA limits will be up to 13.5 BTC. 3. Yes - of course! It doesn't get any more exciting than live betting. Thanks for your continued excellent work here. Cheers, Cloudbet Cloudbet, thanks for checking in. 13.5 BTC limit is nice. |

With your existing account,if you will not play and you want to withdraw, you can do so anytime you want. We will still use the 6000 rate as the rate for the first time you joined us. But your account now can only be used till Sunday, March 9, 2014. After that, we will suspend the ID but we guarantee you can still withdraw from that ID use 6000 rate. From now on we use the new rate is 4000 to all members. If you want to play, we can transfer your balance to the new account using 4000 rate.
We highly appreciate a response from you as soon as possible regarding this matter.
Best regards,
SBO Bitcoin I then went to live chat and took my money out. They sent it in bitcoins. |

gogo- Why don't you just go to live chat and ask them if your Pinnacle account was closed? It obviously wasn't funded. They will give you a new account. This may have been done when the exchange rate was changed.
You're already aware that it was a currency exchange, as I was the first to report this, and that my issue is resolved. You read this in the other thread 10 minutes ago. "Quote from: Peeps Place on Today at 11:54:19 AM Gogo- If you really had accounts with these books, as you have said, then you would have known this." Raiders - You are the biggest fraud and the most loathsome and hated poster on all the sportsbetting forums, and this is an example: "If you really had accounts with these books, as you have said, then you would have known this." You didn't know yourself or you would have stated it when I first raised the issue. You just found out when Melody came back online. This is evident to anyone reading this thread. Not only that, but you are the one with no account at the book: "All accounts were shut down and people were given new accounts. You either had the opportunity to withdraw or transfer the money to the new account." Wrong. I reported above my acquaintance's experience - I can now state that mine was identical to my acquaintance's - they did a currency amount change - the account number and password is unchanged - there is no new account." Just stop already. You've never played there. I told you my experience not one of an acquaintance. |

Gogo said that SBOBitcoin was a scam a few months ago. As another poster pointed out, you don't deposit in to scam books so Gogo never played there.
With my account SBOBitcoin told me that they were changing the exchange rate. They asked me if I wanted to withdraw my money or have a new account with the rate changed. It may have been the same account number with a change in Hong Kong dollars but I don't remember since I took a withdrawal. They gave me all my money including the 10% bonus even though I hadn't met the 3x roll.

I took all the money out of my SBOBET account including the 10% bonus when I was asked what I wanted to do. I could have just put the money in a new account. Maybe it was the same account but they would have changed the Hong Kong dollar amount to reflect the exchange rate. I forget but I did make the withdrawal in bitcoins and I haven't gone back yet. I've played at almost all of the bitcoin books. |

Even the people that took the 10% bonus that had not met the 3x roll were given the chance to withdraw all their money including the bonus.

All accounts were shut down and people were given new accounts. You either had the opportunity to withdraw or transfer the money to the new account. They did this to change the exchange rate.

They are back online. It looks as though chat is having intermittent problems.

Melody from SBOBitcoin is back on chat.

Just got this message from chat Thank you for your patience when waiting for Live Help, we apologize for any delays that you may experience. |

I said I couldn't get into my account. You wrongly stated that my account was suspended. I had a different account suspended when I logged in from the US a while back. Please take this to another thread to keep out the clutter. I'm not looking for an argument.
