There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

All books in Vegas grade wagers the same day. The same goes for all books in CR. They consider a suspended game the same as a rain game and grade it that day. The only exception occurs during playoff baseball.
DirectBet rule in regards to postponed baseball games is similar to the ones employed by top on-line books. We have not made up this rule. The only difference is that some books utilize this rule during postseason only while others at all times. We at DirectBet believe in simplicity and therefore the same rule is used for all games. Why change the rule during the season and confuse players ? |

Why change the rule during the season and confuse players ? Show me some books for the regular season. Every book in Vegas refunds your money. Pinnaclesports refunds your money...............The second rule that you made up is ties. All books refund your money on ties in basketball. You take a portion of the player's money..........When you change a universal rule, it confuses players. Pinny The result of a game is official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4.5 innings. If a game is called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called. Monies will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day unless otherwise specified. Vegas rules For betting purposes, the winner of an event will be determined on the date of the event's conclusion. Sportsbooks do not recognize suspended games, protests, scoring amendments, result reversals or overturned decisions.

Pinnaclesports refunds your money............... Read their rules again, see section # 6. They have a similar rule to us in regards to postponed baseball games. The only difference is that they apply this rule during postseason only. Why change the rule during the season and confuse players ? You see, even you were confused by their rules. You didn't notice section # 6, which contradict the earlier rule that you quoted. We are in the opinion that it is better to use the same rule all year long. |

Our rule is not unique. The book that pays you to rate them on top of your fake "ratings guide" has a similar rule, as do other top books. You are forcefully trying to find excuses to bash DirectBet because we refused to bribe you for ratings. |

You are forcefully trying to find excuses to bash DirectBet because we refused to bribe you for ratings. Then 2 books are wrong. Books with banners are rated "A", "B+", "B-" and "C". No one pays for ratings or they would all be "A". |

When will the Dodgers/Padres listing go up for tomorrow's game? ESPN has it at: PickCenter » Line: LAD -153, SD 143
Conversation » Tickets »
SD: Despaigne (3-5, 3.06 ERA)
LAD: Kershaw (17-3, 1.70 ERA)but I can't even find anywhere to place this wager on DirectBet...  |

(My only complaint is that I'd like to place higher baseball bets...Plus, no odds given on Dodgers/Padres game tomorrow.) Still a 5/5 rating compared to those other cruddy books. |

Lastly, (sorry, not picking on you...love you guys) you show:
18:10 Baltimore (M Gonzalez) @ Boston (A Ranaudo) MLB 2014
But ESPN has said Joe Kelly will be pitching for the Red Sox.
I'm not sure if I should bet or hold off until this has been cleared up.

All other books have Kelly going. |

Unfortunately, betting is not yet opened for this game. Please check back later.

Thanks for notifying us. This appears to be an error and will be corrected. |

Yeah this is definitely one of the better sportsbooks that I'd rate of 5/5.
Thanks ! The only thing I don't like is the maximum bet on baseball too.
You mean that the maximum bet size is too low ? If so, please read this : http://www.directbet.eu/FAQ.cshtml#MaxBetUsually you can bet more than the maximum advised. Best approach is to send the maximum amount, then after your bet is confirmed it will tell you if and how much more you can send. If that doesn't work for you for any reason, please PM me the relevant bets and we will look into improving it for future games. Is betting open for who will get into the World Series or can you make one?
Unfortunately not, sorry. We do offer bets on who will win the World Series, National League and American League. |

The pitcher name on the other game was also corrected earlier today. In regards to higher betting limits, please see my earlier post and PM me if it does not meet your needs. Thanks again for your feedback and support. |

Hi, first of all I wanna thank you for your great site.
Unfortunately I experienced an issue regarding my bets on the BMW Golf Championship Tournament. After the event has ended i got an message telling me my bets will be "settled manually"-dead heat.
The dead heat rule is pretty much clear to me now (after I read the rules:)) but I couldn't find any information on how long it's going to take to receive my winning bets. So how long will the manual settlement take to pay the actual bets?
Thanks a lot!
