Oh, there it is.  Thanks for your help, you guys are the best.

Where do we see the free bet coupon in our account?  I made 25 bets in between June 11th-July 1st, and I don't see it anywhere in my account info.

Thanks

I'm sad to see you guys go.  You have been nothing but quality since I started here 8 or so months ago.

This thread is hilarious, the OP has absolutely no understanding of math at all.  He keeps talking about his "business plans" when he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.  His last two plans were so incredibly pathetic that if he thought those were solid plans, nothing he say has any credibility what so ever.

I will try not to be too mean because I honestly believe the OP isn't trying to scam us, he is just stupid (or 10 years old).

Just think about it for a second.  You keep saying that everyone is going to profit.  But all we're doing is sending money to each other, it's a zero-sum game.  This is very important for you to understand this.  Bitcoins will not just be created out of thin air.  For you to profit, someone else must lose.  It really is that simple.  Please, please, please find a different hobby.  The people in this thread aren't being mean just for the sake of it, they are just being hard on you because your idea of math is simply not based in reality.  I urge you to find something else to do to occupy your time.

Have a nice day.

Umm.. okay, this is one of the weirder accusations I've seen in a while.  I can't vouch for the other 3 usernames but I am definitely not any of them.  In fact, those 4 posts you quoted really don't have much in common.  I'm not quite sure why you would think that, kinda bizarre really.

I'm having a lot of fun with this site, but it seems to me it would be better if it either didn't start so scrambled or it unscrambled faster.  With the way things are working now, there is no reason for me to look at a new picture for 3 or 4 days, but if it wasn't impossible for so long, I think you could get a lot of people checking it everyday and a lot more views.  Just my 2 cents. 

I wouldn't say the net effect on bitcoin price is zero. Sure the direct net effect from you (or any of us that already have bitcoin) paying Overstock in bitcoin is zero, but if really big stores start accepting bitcoin (for whatever reason) then it adds legitimacy and publicity and new people might buy bitcoin. 

If it isn't too much hassle, I think it would be worth adding the Greece league.  Thanks.

I just looked through the first couple pages, and it seems that they often buy points on the spread.  For example, they sometimes take the spread with something like 1.80 odds.  If they did that every time they would need to have a win percentage of > 55.6% in order to profit.  So as it stands, their percentage figure doesn't really mean anything.  The only thing that would show something would be a complete table with units won/loss.

edit: (bad math)

The 60% figure is useless unless you mean on the spread.  I could easily bet on favorites, win 85% of the bets, and be deep in the red.

The only thing that matters is your capping ability.  If you're getting -110 odds on the spread, you need to be able to predict the winner of the spread > 52.4% of the time.  If you can do that, then great, you will make money.  If you can't, you will lose money, regardless of any silly martingale scheme.

The martingale scheme really isn't worth mentioning for the same reason that no betting system works on roulette.  What you should be doing is using the Kelly-criterion and betting more on games that you are more sure about, and less on games that are more of a guess.  It is important that your subscribers know that an arbitrary martingale scheme does not help anything.

Is there any official word on Super Bowl prop bets??  This is the biggest betting weekend of the year, and I might have to take my business elsewhere.

I have been a loyal customer for over 6 months and I have had zero problems.  I recommend bitbook over all the other bitcoin sportsbooks to all my friends.

However, with the recent change in odds (for the worse), there are other sites that offer a wider variety of bets (prop bets for soccer, mma, etc) and better odds on the spread.  I'm contemplating trying out other sites, but I don't really want to because you guys have been so great.

Is there any chance you guys will be going back to the pinnacle odds?

You're off by a decimal.

If 1BTC = 500 credits, then 5 credits = .01 BTC, NOT .001 BTC.  Being off by a factor of 10 is a big deal.  I'm not trying to be mean, but the fact that even after I brought this to your attention you still didn't see the problem makes me really hesitant to deposit here.

There's a mistake on your "How It Works" page.

You say "1BTC = 500 Credits."

Then you say: "Minimum wager is 5 credits (.001 BTC)"

It's mistakes like this that make me think twice.  For now I'd rather stick with well established books like bitbook.

Ah, my apologies.  I guess I just figured all the sportsbooks worked the same way as the few I've used.  Are there any legitimate bitcoin sportsbooks that currently allow these kinds of parlays?

You can never parlay one side of the game and the over/under in any sportsbook because of correlation.

Thank you for making this site, it is really awesome!


Just a quick note, in the gambling world, the phrase: "Bet x to win y" has a very specific meaning.  The "to win" part is profit, and it doesn't include the amount you bet.

For example, if I bet 2 to win 10, that means that I would get 12 back total, if you took my initial 2.


Once again, thanks for the really cool website, just thought you might want a heads up.

This seems a little strange.  If you guys actually have an edge over the odds makers, there are many ways for you guys to make some SERIOUS cash.  Charging a couple people online 1 dollar isn't one of those ways. You guys should be swimming in money if you could predict better lines than the bookies, and this venture wouldn't be worth your time at all.

Finally got through 

Hmm, okay.  Thanks for your help, it is still giving me the same error message though.  And I tried with a different computer and a browser and turned off my adblock and pop-up blocker still with no luck.  Oh well..

I guess I'm confused, this is my first time trying to play and I don't see the address that I'm supposed to send the BTC to.
