Betmatch.is - The Bitcoin sports betting exchange, great odds, no registration

[Betmatch.is]

Hi Bitcointalk and fellow bitcoiners, sports fans and gamblers,

We are happy to present Betmatch.is, a new, fast and easy way to bet on popular sports with bitcoin!

Betmatch.is works a bit differently than most sportsbooks. Instead of playing against the house, we match your bets directly with other bettors, only taking a small fee for our services. Because we have no regard for which side wins and how much, we can offer you the best odds and promotions available anywhere.

Features - What makes us different

• Play against other bettors - allowing us to give you the best possible odds
• Quick and easy - no registration needed, send your bitcoin to the corresponding address and you're done
• Safe - be in control of your own bitcoins, receive your winnings directly to your own wallet after the game has ended
• Transparent - all bets are confirmed via the blockchain, everyone can check that winning bets have been paid in full
• Anonymous - We are hosted in Iceland, we do not track our users
• More features to come, stay tuned for updates!

Make sure to bet from wallets which are in your control as we send your winnings back to your sending and change addresses. For frequent bettors, we recommend you move your bitcoins to a newly generated wallet every now and then for increased privacy. Our minimum bet is 0.001 btc, there is no maximum bet (just keep in mind that bets have to be matched to be accepted). Unmatched bets will be returned as soon as possible after the game has started.

In order to guarantee betting action from day one, we will occasionally make and match bets from our own reserves. For now, we have NFL football, MLB baseball and NBA (pre-season) spreads and totals available for betting. We will be adding more betting options, including moneyline bets, once we confirm that everything is working as intended.

We are in continuous development and you can expect to see many improvements in the near future. If you're not ready to play with us just yet, do check back in a few weeks to see what's new.

We've got a lot of exciting features and promotions coming up that we can't wait to share with you soon. We aim to be officially out of beta when the NBA season starts next week.

Good luck bettors!

Just go to your site and it seems that your site has a plain design and it is not attractive at all. And i havent check on your odds compare to others like directbet or nitrogensports because what i think that they really gives everything on their design or their ui. Compare to yours site this is not comparable

Hi, thanks for the message. I agree, we went for a minimalistic design for the first version of our site and focused on the core functionality, and with that done we think it's a good time to start talking about the site and getting user feedback. There is certainly still a lot of work to be done on making the site more representable, and you can expect to see visible changes very soon.

As for the odds, for the time being our base odds are 1.97 / 1.97 for games where we think there is an equal chance of each side winning. Tonight we have a promotion for the Dodgers - Cubs game where our odds are 1.99 / 1.99 and we plan on doing a similar promotion tomorrow for the Packers - Bears game. There will be a lot more promotional bets to come!

As excited as I am about our launch today it seems the network is very congested at the moment with only 5 mined blocks in the past 2+ hours, which means that bets may not come through in time. You may want to hold off betting until the traffic gets resolved. Luckily this shouldn't happen more than once or twice a year.

I am on the site as well. All I see is a list of games and that too only 2-3 games in total which are being listed and are asking to send to one particular address. Wouldn't trust it if you don't update it. Right now it seems to have been made without any effort.

That is a fair point to make. However, it's Wednesday night, MLB is on the post-season, NBA hasn't yet started, there aren't a lot of games on tonight and we don't want to put up too many sports before we are sure we can handle them.

We understand that we need to build trust over time with the community. If you're not trusting us enough to play with us just yet, please check back in a couple of weeks, couple of months, a couple of years. Try it with the minimum bet. Or wait to see what others are saying. You'll see that we are here for the long-term and willing to work for it.

Very simple design and few games listed. You should improve your website design because this is the face of your site. Im sure many will doubt about this site because it looks scammy. Try to put some effort to it. Thanks for sharing anyway.

Yes, I suppose it could have used a few more days in the oven on the design side (we've mostly been focusing on the back-end stuff) but it's live now and there's no turning back! Tonight we didn't have many games listed because there weren't many games played. We aim to have all NFL, NBA and MLB games on the site for starters, with more sports added later.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll be back tomorrow with new games

[mia_houston]

Yeah i see easy to play there and site look good.One thing i'll try make some bet there Just hoping Luck to bet there anywaysy good luck dude for your new site

[btcdevil]

Just checked your site , it is really very plain design, but as their are no matches listed i am not able to get the betting odds what you are offering. Will be waiting for the updates and keep watch on your site.

What do you mean by this? So the lowest odds that you can offer is 1.97 for every games options? Does it mean like your site having some house edge here? Btw do you have promotion or some giveaway for a new site? Although this is sportbetting but to give some giveaway is a good promotion to attract more people

[paraavcisi]

hi. if i send btc to you 1 day ago from the match. is there any risk about not accepting my bet? i mean are you canceling bets?

[Gustavv]

the site so simple and so light
but i think you have to add more nice layout or design
sometimes its make us boring when first time we visit
but the promotion so interest will check it and join later

[Betmatch.is]

Thanks for the kind words!

Tonight's games are up, we've got a promotion for the Green Bay Packers - Chicago Bears game (starting at 8.25pm EST) where our odds are bumped up to 1.99 / 1.99 for both the spread and the game total. Odds don't get much better than that!

Remember that bets have to be matched by other bettors for them to be confirmed. The earlier you bet, the better chance your bet has for being matched. Unmatched bets will of course be returned.

While we are in beta our minimum bet is only 0.001 btc (that's less than $1 or 1€) and we look forward to testing our system and paying out some winners.

Good luck!

Sorry, I know this can be a bit confusing. Currently we have MLB, NFL and NBA spreads and totals where the chances are roughly 50-50 for either side to win. So typically our odds for those bets would be 1.97 / 1.97. We don't have moneyline (overall winner) bets yet. We plan on doing frequent promotions that will give you even better odds, for example for tonight's Packers - Bears game we have the odds at 1.99 / 1.99 as mentioned above.

Hi, we haven't received such a bet unless it got stuck on the network congestion yesterday. If you can give your transaction ID we can have a look.

The odds are really great I must tell but the problem is its PvP and we can't bet as much as we want . I mean its for sure that there won't be "Live betting" in your site right? Also the design can be improved .

The only thing that is different from other site is that you provide better odds than others , right ? I don't see anything else .

I also felt some improvement to be done in the site but as it is the start of the site so it happens in the start maybe in the future the owner make it more attractive for the players and we will see more features in that site.

Yes, it is a drawback but it's necessary if we want to offer odds like these - no regular sportsbook or casino can cover similar odds without risking a loss. Ultimately this is about offering more choice to the customers, and as there are already plenty of traditional casinos online it wouldn't make sense to try to do do another one.

We could easily do live sports with the system we have - just have to make sure it's fair to all players so that nobody feels cheated if they miss out on bets in fast-paced games. Thanks for the suggestion!

There's a lot that we have planned for the site, but for now we're focusing on the basics. Stay tuned

Thanks for the confidence - the site is getting better each day, though not all changes are immediately visible to visitors.

[Betmatch.is]

Tonight we have 7 NBA pre-season games available for betting, and our promo game is San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets with spread and total odds at 1.99 / 1.99.

We've also added a hint of color and detail to the site, as well as made the code run a bit snappier.

Good luck 

[Betmatch.is]

Added an FAQ section to the site that should address most concerns and questions.

Uneventful day today, only one game. That's why we're doing our first +0 EV (100% return) promotion tonight:

Chicago Cubs +1.0 vs Los Angeles Dodgers -1.0
2.00 (+100) / 2.00 (+100)
Over 6.0 vs Under 6.0 runs
2.00 (+100) / 2.00 (+100)

We are currently working on getting Moneyline odds to the site.

We probably won't have tomorrow's Rams - Giants game available for betting due to its unusually early start time. Should have all other NFL games tomorrow though.

Good luck!

Your design of your website is very plain and simple. Try to put some colors and design on it. That is the face of your site. Try to put some effort because it looks like scammy to me. Thats all. And also add boxing and mma. Goodluck.
