DirectBet – LIVE Sportsbook & Racebook. Now Accepting Ether !

I don't work for any book. The 3 day rule is a general rule that is used but not sports specific. Since you want to pick on Anonibet, they target the European market and have better live offerings in both tennis and soccer than you do. They have the best among all bitcoin books and are starting to make their move into American markets. I'd expect a rule change. Their live offerings and props are reasons for their top rating.

If you want to target the baseball market, then you should be using the standard baseball rules. Note to those that arb. You may get burned using books with conflicting sports book rules.

DirectBet- What are the rules for a change of venue at DirectBet?

[bOSsmarie]

I don't know how you can totally hate on or bash Directbet frankly...see they don't even have deposits there so if they "closed down" they wouldn't be "running away with bitcoin" like so many others have.  

I could be wrong but it's my feeling that they will run with the money during the Super Bowl. Players will have a lot of money tied up in props and live wagering. Bitcoinlivebets did it after the World Cup. The link in my signature talks about books running after the World Cup and Super Bowl.

As far as a rating, do you thing it's justifiable for DirectBet to have a high rating? Input is needed for all of the books. I never bash a person's opinion as long as they don't throw out false allegations. Thanks

You are the only one who is thinking that Directbet doesnt deserve a high rating,

because you are paid to bash Directbet, why does not any mods ban this awful person here, trashing and bashing on others thread..

Isnt there a Rules about that?

We all think that Directbet Derserves a higher rating, but you wont give them that, because Directbet doesnt want to pay you to advertise them..

You're rating on Sportbook is frankly bias in all aspects, so do you think someone needs to believe your ratings on sportsbook,

rather questioning if Directbet deserves a higher rating, why not ask yourself, are you worth believing for? are your ratings really that close to the truth or its just a bias, advertising rating for sportsbook?

Peeps, some of the other books you mention that "ran off" with the BTC just seemed a lot more sketchy to me.  Did they all have customer service like Directbet, where they are always responding quickly to any issues?  And they are upfront about their rules, etc.  The only complaint I've had is how sometimes betting options disappear depending on the status of the game.  And sometimes the "no deposits" thing is a little annoying, but it's safer IMHO.

Bosmarie- Why do you think they deserve a high rating? I'd like to hear what all posters say about all the books.

Bitbook, Bit365, Coinbet, Blockbet and Bitcoinlivebets all had good customer support with quick replies until near the end. Coinbet was the only one that I felt was too abrasive towards their customers. Some of the books have now gone to live support and answer immediately.

If you have opinions on other books currently in business, please post them here or at the ratings guide https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=717790.0 so that I can see as many opinions as possible. Thanks

Start with post 1373. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448302.1360 DirectBet has been doing this for 4 months. I know that I should be the bigger man but he's expanded his attacks to numerous threads.

This is what posters say about him

My Gawd.

Just shut the fuck up, Direct Bet. You are embarrassing yourself. Go jack off on Skype or do something else that might help keep your dignity.

Peeps Plance sama question, Why do you think you deserve to believe in, if you have that kind of style in rating Sportsbook? i also like to hear it from you,

if a lot of people is rating Directbet with a higher rating than yours?

Why won't you rate Directbet higher? are you basing your criteria on your opinions only? then its bias..

we dont have a good damn reason to believe it either..

DirectBet is rated very low in other rating guides. In the poster generated poll they were rated 9th best book until he brought in many new signups to taint the rating guide. These brand new posters voted highly for DirectBet and gave low ratings to the top books.

 Rating criteria can be found in our rating threads.

Here are my thoughts on DirectBet:

1. It's unacceptable under any circumstances for a bet to be held in limbo without being able to cancel. It's irrelevant if it's in the blockchain or wallet. If you make firm bets, this can happen and has happened to numerous players.

2. The theoretical hold on live bets is the highest that I've ever seen and this includes fiat books. Right now Stl is -2500/+450 Bos.
Atl total under -666/+215 over.

When the NFL comes around I'll post lines from real books and DirectBet so you don't have to get raped. This will show why DirectBet is not a top book. The lines are unplayable and you're just throwing money down the well.

The books rated ahead of DirectBet will have better lines for the NFL and confirmations are quicker so you don't get shut out or have your bets held for 20 minutes.

Minn -625/+205 SD
Normal Books -392/+314

DirectBet - How do you sleep at night with these lines?

[Rating Place]

When you play live tennis some of the good books have tabs by their lines with some nice information.

Tabs with:

Head to head
Tournament info

You don't get this at Directbet.

I'm just showing more reasons why DirectBet isn't competing with the top books and that their rating must be substantially below the good books.

Peeps, you gotta chill.  When you say things like "How do you sleep at night with these lines?" it makes it seem like you are being rude and attacking a book.   Then it looks like you're biased and give Directbet a lower rating because you just don't like the owner of it.

They don't have that at Anonibet, do they?

And something I don't like about Anonibet, they don't even offer tennis spread betting which is basically STANDARD when it comes to tennis betting.
