How are things going overall? Still making a profit?

When I saw that game going under 2.5 goals (guys couldn't score from anywhere, not even in the empty net), I already knew I was gonna take a big loss regardless of what happens in the other games. A lot of players have also been on a hot streak in the MLB and NBA games, so we're currently having a few consecutive days of losses, but that's what gambling is about - there will be ups and downs. We're not going bankrupt anytime soon even you guys keep winning, so no need to worry about that

I have thought about lowering the limit, since bitcoins were about 25$ a piece when we first started, but let's see a few more days on how it goes. I would like to keep it at 10 since it's a nice, round figure, but we'll see.

I think the max limit is what makes you one of the best, in my opinion. Obviously, if you're losing money because of it, then you'll have to lower the limit. But right now, you have the highest limit of any bitcoin book, and that's legit.

Another thing, you guys thinking about lowering those 20-cent lines in MLB? BitBook.biz has 15-cent, and bitcoinsports.eu has 10-cent, which makes you (essentially) the 3rd option.

Still diggin' the site, and I use you mostly every night. Keep it up!

Not to grunch, but BTCSportsBet.com has the highest limits by far. 25-50btc depending on sport. Also the longest track record of any bitcoin book, Carry on.

Thanks for the tips. I won't be limiting it just yet, but it's something to consider if Bitcoin continues to increase. Even most million-dollar multinational gambling sites won't accept bets that amount to thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars, at least not without approval from much higher.

I won't be changing the MLB lines as long as I'm making a loss on them at current levels.

Horse bets 2morrow?

Honestly I have no knowledge of horse racing, maybe I'll look into it at some point though if it's a possibility. Thanks for the request anyway!

Thanks for advertising in my thread instead of yours. Let me know when I can bet without registering or when you have more than a few betting options for a game. Stay classy Cusipzzz.

There's no NBA games today.

makes sense with the NCAA game.

[bitcoinsrock]

Anyone get paid yet? First time I had to wait this long.

[bitcoinsrock]

Just got paid. Never a doubt.

Yeah rare day off from the NBA, but still lots of work in other leagues. I had never realized that there are so many baseball games every day!

Just got paid. Never a doubt.

Glad you mentioned it, but I wonder if there were delays in the network? I made the payments 7+ hours ago... Maybe I need to increase the fee?

[edit] Well according to my Bitcoin client they were all confirmed ages ago, about 50 confirmations each right now. Maybe if you use an online wallet, they might have been having delays there.

[bitcoinsrock]

Must have been on my end since I also see the confirmations. This is the first time it happened so it seems that the fees are fine. I use blockchain. Thanks for the reply.

site down? is there  one of them mirror sites or what not

Yeah, server host is down. That's not good, but nothing I can do about it but wait for them to get it back online, hopefully before most of the games are starting. Have to think about getting a better host at some point.

There were plenty of bets made prior the site going down, those bets are fine and will be honored as usual.

lol, but thats such a pain in the ass that I wouldn't hold it against you if you didn't

If there's enough people interested, I can make a daily thread here with all the lines from the different btc books.

[blockbet.net]

I don't think that would make a lot of sense, it would be a mess and very difficult to maintain if the lines need to be adjusted. First games are starting soon, I'm gonna keep an eye on the host if they come back online soon, but right now it looks like it's taking some time and it might not be back until tomorrow.

Sorry for the trouble. Like I said, bets made prior are still on so no need to worry about those.

sounds like   it can be a start  for some type of line service  or  sbr  and covers  for btc books,  that would be sweet , the btc gamblin community needs one of those.

I'll do one tomorrow and see what the community thinks.

Site's back online. Most games are already on but you can still get in on the late NBA games. Baseball will be back tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble and hope things will go smoothly from now on.

Can you tell me what time that you sent payouts today? You've been great as far as paying out winners but for some reason it looks like they are still being delayed on my end again. Nothing has come in yet. Thanks

The last payouts for yesterdays bets were made at about 11am UTC/6am ET. They all have 50-60 confirmations at the time of writing this. I don't want to post blockchain.info transaction URLs here since I don't know which one is you, but you should be able to see them there if you know the addresses that you typically use.
