Well, I ignored a few warnings in their main thread, and now i'm waiting 3 days for a payout of around .5 BTC.

Seemed too good to be true - actual pinnacle odds with no account hassle, and direct payment back to BTC address. But then grading started taking hours. He seemed responsive via pm (but red flag that my post about not being paid was deleted from their self-moderated thread).

I kept getting stalled via pm "sorry automated grading is down" etc etc. Then finally was told i would be paid manually. Bets were finally graded win after 2 days, but no payment arrived.

It seems like a 1-person shop who coded up a simple site to copy odds and accept bets. At this point 3 days later being incompetent is indistinguishable from being a scam. I know making this post now decreases whatever chances I had of getting paid, but so be it. Be careful.

Why have you made this self moderated? This is an accusation so you should pot it in the right section. What site are you talking about please edit with a link.

I never heard this site, is it a new site? It is very dangerous to play in a new site without any reliable proofs, so you shouldn't bet there actually, you can choose some other reliable sites, but you didn't, does it have any good promo so you deposited money there?

Sorry for the confusion - the site is http://bet-bitcoin.com/

I think this should stay in the Gambling site to warn people looking for a sportsbook, but whatever.

Guess I was right. I tried to warn people about this one... my posts were deleted but how could you miss the negative feedback?

They'll be back with a new one soon. Stick with the older, more trusted sports books unless you don't mind also gambling on getting paid  Cheesy

Please add:

To the OP so others can leave negative feedback.

Bet-Bitcoin.com is most likely operated by the same people who ran scam books btcbook.eu and bit365 / bitcoinsports.eu. Do not play there again, even if they pay. The previous two would not pay larger payments, pay smaller amounts so it would appear they are still paying out and then shutdown the site after accumulating a decent amount.

You were right, I saw the negative trust but it was a small number and didn't really look into it after they paid a few bets.

I didn't lose much, and you probably saved other people, so good job. Anyone else have input?
