DirectBet likes to compare to Anonibet. Right now live in the Atromitos AthensFK Sarajevo, DirectBet only has the outright winner up. Anonibet has lots of options including alternate totals. Plus Anonibet gives up to 10% back on losses. occer » International Clubs » UEFA Europa League, Qualification Atromitos Athens1:2FK Sarajevo 1st overtime period 105' Atromitos AthensFK Sarajevo 1 2 0

(1:2) Next Goal (OT only!) (1:2) Asian handicap Overtime (-0.25) Peep's how much are you getting paid from anonibet? I'm totally unbiased, I've used both books and both are fine, but why do you keep saying how good anonibet is? compared to the tens of others available? Also, how is Directbet trying to extort you? (from your PM to me) Anonibet's rating was up well in advance of approaching them for advertising. Ratings go up and then the good books are asked to advertise. Pay for rating does not exist and books are told that. They pay to convert fiat books to their book. A book will not survive with only bitcointalk players. New books keep opening taking bitcointalk players from existing books. I post here because I like this forum and community. I understand your business model now, but it is still biased of you. I mean, Anonibet is paying you, you wouldn't lower their rating now would you? Do you have any examples of a paying book where you lowered their ranking or said anything remotely negative about them? I'm just saying if you want to be THE review site, you can't accept money from ANY of them. Just my thoughts on like if you want to be THE review site. I completely understand your thoughts and I would think the same.

We ask top books to advertise at peepsplace.com. Bitcointalk is irrelevant in recruiting fiat players which is the goal. I post here because I like it here and try to add to this community. If you take the poll down, then I don't have the right to discredit you in your thread. If you leave it up, then it is my right. It's your choice and no deal will be made..

How come I can't parlay a team and total from the same NFL game?

How come I can't parlay a team and total from the same NFL game? Many books disallow it since it's a correlated parlay. It's better in the NCAA since a line may be -36 with a total of 48. If there's a blowout cover, it most likely goes over. Some books use a 25% rule, others 30% rule. If the spread is less than 25/30% of the total, they will allow it.

Ah, really only ever encountered that outside of the US. I've always been able to parlay NFL games, i.e games with spreads. Not being able to parlay games with puck, run, goal lines etc is standard though.

I've been around the forums since 2003 and owned a couple of sites. Reagan's been around since 2003. You have no experience, no idea what you are talking about when it comes to gambling or book making. Posters can decide on the validity of the ratings. If they knew Reagan, they wouldn't question them. High rated books haven't gone under, but the low rated books have gone under and warnings were given.

DirectBet- Who the hell are you to dictate terms? Do you think that you are a threat to any of the big books? You're a two man shop with the worst live lines in the business. DirectBet has a little niche that most likely will be swallowed up by someone bigger.
Your character assassination attempts mean nothing to me. I listen to other posters, but do you think that anything you post bothers me at all? The ratings are just a loose guide. Every player is looking for something different.

DirectBet - Care to take a look at why I was scummed by your ridiculously long bet confirmation system twice within three minutes?
Two separate bets on the Sigma FC vs Masters FA game, both bets I sent doge before goals were scored, both times your system took too long to confirm and betting got suspended before you accepted my bet. So your lacklusture systems probably cost me 25k DOGE this time.
Take a look -

For the NFL spread bets: Nitrogen -105/-105 and this includes totals. DirectBet -116/-116 . Not only this, but it breaks immediately. It's impossible to beat this line long term. DirectBet has the worst NFL lines of all bitcoin and fiat books and by a good margin pre-game. If things continue as is, you'll get shut out of a lot of NFL live bets. It's much better to deposit if you plan on betting the NFL live since the confirmations are quicker. DirectBet Miami +2.5pts @ +110 Atlanta -2.5pts @ -147.1 Under/Over 37.5pts Under 37.5pts @ -125.0 Over 37.5pts @ -115.0

NFL preseason Mia/Atl total. Nitrogen also has alt lines in the preseason. Just continuing to show the many reasons why DirectBet isn't on par with the "A" and "B" books.
Nitrogen: 100/-110 best or equal to lowest vig of all BTC and fiat books with the exception of 1 shaky fiat book. Anonibet: -105/-118, up to 10% rebate on losses. BetCoin: -116/-120, has a bonus Casinobit: -116/-120 DirectBet: -118/-125.

DirectBet isn't on par with the "A" and "B" books.
Not sure who these "a" and "b" people are, but DirectBet officially has the 2nd highest rating by members of this forum out of the 18 different betting sites that received votes. (The person collecting member votes did not receive any payments/bribes from any of the books, therefore would be the most official rating thread on the forum.) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577102.0

If you look at other rating sites, DirectBet is never near the top. I have nothing against Ryan, and it's good to have multiple rating sites, but bitcoinlivebets was #3 until they went under stealing player's funds. We had a different view point. bitcoinlivebets is a very shaky book. They have problems on almost a daily basis and automation is never fully working. Each person has different reasons for playing at a book. I think that bitcoinlivebets is at the top of the list of the next book to go under although I hope it's not the case.

Any link at the rating page is an affiliate link. Regarding DB scores, it is obvious that most of them came from shill accounts.
