Last night the in play betting on the English cup games all vanished when 90 minutes were up... but the games went to extra time (then penalties if needed).  The regular bookies kept their in play betting up for this... any chance of you guys doing that?

Back in about 2003 I played in a Chess tournament (live in person) and the top prize was £500; a huge amount of money for me at the time.  I was determined to win this prize at any cost but I wasn't really any good at chess. However that was minor issue for me as I had a plan.

At the time phones with a vibration alert were pretty new, so I just stuffed one up inside my ass and my friend sitting in the crowd was playing out the games on a little chess computer (many other spectators were doing similar).  Then he'd get the recommended move and keep phoning me and hanging up.   Obviously I couldn't answer the phone (since it was up my ass and probably smelled a bit funny too)... but we'd both been in the boy scouts and knew Morse Code and he was sending me the messages using that 

Easiest £500 I ever made.

Good stuff

I won on Spurs, had 3000 Eth on at 1.29 odds.  0-0 at half time and the most first half shots on goal since a Liverpool game last season    Lost 300 Eth betting on over 2.5goals once they scored one.... was gambling on the flood gates opening.

Give up RobinH, you're making yourself look stupid.



How many times do you need to be told the block chain is open and fully trackable.  Many of my bets have been placed before they started - including the biggest bet ($50,000).  I posted in my own thread tonight I was betting on Spurs in play, which again was posted before anything was going on in the park.

$192,000 in my Ether account now, does this look like a losing gambler to you?

All of those transactions are searchable in block chain, I can't hide any of them can I?

Run along kid.

Yes bet in play, I'd never put a bet like that on before the game started as no realistic way you can win long term doing that.



Spurs controlling this game early on... I've went big on them to win @ 1.28

I'm watching the Spurs game and looking to bet in game if any suitable bets come up. Perhaps over 2.5 goals but I want to see how it starts first.

good luck everyone betting

If you're gambling with Bitcoin or Ethereum, its in effect a gamble on top of a gamble.  Ethereum is up 5% today on BTC so if I had to lose 1% of a line to bet on Eth instead of using BTC, I'm up from that decision.  1.54 on Nitrogen for Man Utd, 1.52 on Direct Bet, then I get 1% back. The lines are basically the same, but I'd lost out if I swapped to BTC yesterday to bet on football today.   I think Eth is going to hit $18 a go soon (its $13 today) so can't afford to risk holding BTC.

Betting big stakes on low odds so its not only likely that you'll lose some; its inevitable. ( < 50 Eth bets are just cashing out bonus credits)  

So I'm betting $10k+ at a time and you want me to pander to someone who's calling me a liar, to get $600?

No thanks.

You can all see my accounts and are welcome to check the bets that are placed and you will see them before they become winners or losers. 

If you don't want to or can't be bothered, there isn't really much else I can do for you.

Look them up in the block chain and see when they were posted then, and you can confirm they are the only bets I've placed today.  Man City were 3-0 up when I posted that and the bet wasn't a winner (look at match kick off time and forum post time)

The stupid thing is you wouldn't even need to pay me 1BTC to do it, the block chain is open and I've posted multiple bets so you can see the accounts they are coming to/from. You can put the transaction id's into direct bet yourself.

You are an idiot, so time to put up or shut up.  Post conclusive proof and I'll give you $500 in Eth or BTC, and another $500 to a charity of your choice.


Didn't think so!

Todays games -

Leicester 1.42 on direct bet, 1.44 on nitrogen

so a whole 1% worse, that i'll get back via the bonus anyway.

I'm not objecting to betting in Bitcoin or with other bookies if/when it makes sense. But Devcon is on in China currently, if I swap money into Bitcoin to get 5% better odds somewhere else, its going to be utterly pointless if Ether goes up more than 5% in the same time frame.

I don't know about other times or sports but football in play bets, DirectBet are competitive.

I spent $50 of my own  money to help promote Ether betting over Bitcoin betting, wheres the issue there?  I hold 6 figures of Eth ($) and it would suit me if Eth gambling is taken up by more people over BTC, so I am giving some people a chance to try it.

You're just being a complete dick, its totally unrealistic to say "i have proof you're the same people" then refuse to post it.  So go ahead then, feel free to call us liars if you like but you can show everyone your proof and they can make their decisions who to believe.

While I'm waiting i'll just go enjoy the winnings from this  https://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=0x31b60e210409fb2d6b879ba2612707d4ba8913b4
