bitbook.biz was the most reputable sportbook before it was targeted by DDOS.

They gave everyone time to withdraw funds, before they closed down for good.

Just wanted to correct that piece of misinformation.

Yes, I did mention in my post that Bitbook paid out its users for several days after closing.

However, they too did not pay out everyone because they only allowed a short window of a few days to get paid.

If you search the archive of Bitcointalk you will find reports of users that were not paid, simply because they did not visit the Bitbook thread during the few days closure period and were not aware of it.

They allowed a 7 day window that was expanded to 10 days if I remember correctly.

Taking deposits is a much better method for players than with what is currently being used by DirectBet. Bit365 was a book similar to DirectBet. Bit365 went under stealing player's funds. They were a non-deposit book.

The biggest downfall with using a non-deposit book is that you are at the mercy of transfer time between your wallet and DirectBet. Bets can be held for hours, using the worst case scenario, with a non-deposit book. During this time you do not know if you have a bet or not. If you use "firm odds", there is no way to cancel your wager. With deposit books, you get close immediate responses.

If you use the official Bitcoin client, your bet transfers will deliver within a second or two.

Unofficial wallets might sometimes have delays but this is something that they will solve over time and there is an alternative for the time being. Simply install Bitcoin Core and treat your wallet there as "Your Account" in books that are not taking deposits.

Note that the traditional deposit books force a delay anyhow when betting in-play, typically of 5-7 seconds, in order not to give an unfair advantage to those who are betting while physically presenting in the game.

This 5-7 seconds forced delay by traditional deposit books is equivalent to the time it may take for non deposit books to receive and process bet transfers and therefore there is no difference even with time sensitive bets.

In today's new virtual currency era, we believe that there is absolutely no need for a Sportsbook to take deposits and hold your coins while they are not being wagered.

Taking deposits is a much better method for players than with what is currently being used by DirectBet. Bit365 was a book similar to DirectBet. Bit365 went under stealing player's funds. They were a non-deposit book.

When Bit365 went down the majority of the people who suffered losses were the investors, not the players, because they did not take deposits from players. The few users who got hit were those who kept on betting there while ignoring the slow pay warning signs. Later some kept on betting even when they did not get paid and as a result had accumulated multiple unpaid winning bets.

By the way, if you are curious why Bit365 went bankrupt, here is my educated guess :

They took around 500 BTC in investments and cashed some or all of it out while the Bitcoin value was around $100, then when the Bitcoin value went up to around $1000 many investors wanted to cash out but at that point Bit365 did not have sufficient cash to buy back the Bitcoins.

Yes, good reason not to use those site that require an account and deposit into the site.
Hence, now we can all agree- DirectBet is the #1 crypto-Sportsbook on the market.

I'm not trying to prevent anyone from playing at DirectBet. Currently on the TB/Minn game, the odds are -1428/+310. I can't recommend a book with these type of holds.

Other games:

-1428/+310
-900/+265
-1111/+360
-5000/+950
-434/+166

You are referring to in-play MLB bets.

Anonibet, Nitrogen, Casinobitcoin, Betcoinsports all your top rated Bitcoin Sportbooks do not offer these bets AT ALL.

So first of all we should be getting credit for offering bets that are not available by other Bitcoin Sportbooks.

You may think the odds are low and if so you can simply skip these bets, no one is forcing you to bet.

I can assure you though there are others who find these bets appealing and profitable.

The bottom line is that offering bets at reduced odds is better than not offering bets at all.

The next time you complain about our odds in-play, please submit a proof that other Bitcoin Sportbooks offer greater odds on average than DirectBet as otherwise we will be consider it a baseless attempt to discredit DirectBet on behalf of our competitors, whom you work for.

Do you think, given the above, that Peeps Place ratings guide is biased towards the books that pay him to promote them in forums ? Please take a moment to vote in the poll at the top of this thread.

[Rating Place]

DirectBet- If you take a look at the live lines at Betcoinsports, the layout is much better. There is a box around all offerings that change red/green depending on if the line goes up or down. One click and you get quick confirmation if the bet is accepted.

You almost have to jump through hoops to make a bet at DirectBet. Hit the game, place an order, copy/paste address. Put it in the wallet and send. Then you aren't guaranteed that the bet will be accepted and it's held by you if you use firm odds and there is any delay between the player's wallet and your wallet.

It doesn't matter how convenience it is to place bets there if there are no bets to place !

I don't mind the poll at all even if it is misguided with the wording that is used by DirectBet since he is wrong about business relationships.

Why is it misguided ?

You admitted that certain books pay you to advertise and promote them.

Currently two Bitcoin Sportbooks are advertising at www.PeepsPlace.com and they "happen" to be rated the top 2 in your ratings guide.

So how is our poll question misguiding ?

How would you like us to rephrase the question in the poll ?

The ratings here at bitcointalk are not affected by by business relationships.

Currently, 73% thinks that your ratings are biased.

The ratings come out. Then I give the ratings to Reagan. He then in turn makes a decision on what banners that he would accept to be up at peepsplace.com. Of course the top books are going to be the ones that are asked to advertise.

When a book wants a banner up at peepsplace then we try to convert cash players to bitcoin players. We also go to other cash forums and post in promotional threads. We will do interviews if asked and have articles published for advertising books.

This has nothing to do with bitcointalk. Everyone here is already playing with bitcoins. We go after the cash players where the market is untapped.

I'm just a power poster that posts at many forums. I like this community here at bitcointalk and try to add to it.

Except that you forgot to tell the rest of the story.

After the banners went up, Peeps Place tailored the ratings and criteria on his ratings list so that the Bitcoin sportbooks that purchased his advertisement deal will also be on top of his ratings list, isolated from the others.

You claim that your ratings guide is not biased towards books that pay you to promote them in "other" forums.

We disagree. That's why we put in a poll. Lets see what is the public opinion.

Currently, 73% believe that you do not have the creditability to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks.

Why are you yelling at peeps? Directbet takes a dump on the rating thread every day and started a poll here. Those ratings at peeps are the best here.

[DirectBet]

Directbet takes a dump on the rating thread every day. Those ratings are the best here.

In the users sports book rankings thread, you rated BitcoinLiveBets 5 out of 5 and Anonibet 5 out of 5.

Lets see where they are now :

BitcoinLiveBets ran away with all users deposits ! I hope you didn't really play there as otherwise your Bitcoins are gone.

Anonibet is being accused of scamming 22 BTC as part of their world cup contest and as a result the users here are now rating them at the bottom of all books.

On the other hand, the one company that you did rate 1.5 out of 5 without any explanation, a rating that is reserved to alert users of scams, is DirectBet.

We believe that over time we will prove you that we deserve to be rated 5 out of 5 and would like to take this opportunity and invite our clients to rate us in the sports book rankings thread. The more ratings we will have, the more accurate it will be :

Anonibet didn't scam anyone. They were all long time players at Anonibet. I looked into it.

In support of Jaybird, Nitrogen, Anonibet and Bitcoinlive bets were number 1,2 and 3 in poster votes until the recent allegations and stiff job by bitcoinlivebets. Peepsplace had bitcoinlivebets D- and predicted them to go under.

I've decided to leave your thread as it's intention was for DirectBet although you diverted the thread with your inane poll.
