I love the no signup approach to this site.  However, that seems to lack the ability to easily track bets.  It would be great if there was a way to enter your BTC address and see all of your current and past bets.

You can, I do it all the time.

I agree with Nasty; This is only local; doesn't have bets on my iPad, on my computer, or vice-versa.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into adding it.

The reason why we didn't implement such a feature in the first place, which will allow you to get your betting history based on your Bitcoin pay address, is because technically, it would allow anyone who knows your Bitcoin pay address to access your betting history, because we do not utilize the accounts concept, there are no accounts on our website that you can log into securely with a password.

So my question to you is, do you prefer the convenience of a betting history even if that means that anyone who has the Bitcoin address that you used for payouts will be able to access it ?

Meanwhile, the 'Bet Status' page has links to the most recent bets that you placed http://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml

In addition, if you enter an e-mail address, you will get an e-mail confirmation for every bet that you place, including a direct link to the bet status page, so you can group them all in a folder for easy future reference.

The 'Bet Status' being local to only one machine can make it less than helpful when you're on the go.

Having the betting history more easily available to the public isn't the right way to do it though.  I have an idea off the top of my head...

Bets could be tracked by email or payout address depending on what is given (maybe people want to use different payout addresses and have them all tracked, or maybe they want to not provide an email at all but still have their bets tracked).  Each email or payout address could be given a unique link to a user stats page showing all the bets placed.  I think that would maintain the current level of privacy while solving the mobile issue.

Another suggestion, it would be cool if the bets were listed by the game title "A vs B" instead of the receiving address.  That way you don't have to click through them to see which bet is which.

The ultimate for me I guess would be if I could go to a single page that showed all of my bets for the day and their scores updating in real time.

I don't understand your suggestion and how it solves the problem, can you please clarify ?

That's a good idea, we will do it.

But I already placed a bet 

https://blockchain.info/tx/609b3577c8d25712576e8bba1c892bb242e0bbb7924bbb380028f4b14e4fc7a4

Is my betting amount too low? I had successfully bet single bets in the past, but now I tried a toto parlay with a very small amount
(maybe 2 mBTC is really too low) and somehow your system doesn´t accept my bet. Additionally, the bet is also not rejected, but
simply doesn´t exist.

Thank you

or is the transaction fee too low? Just realized I accidentally only sent 0.00001 BTC instead of 0.0001 BTC

We have not received your bet transfer as of yet. Your bet will be processed as soon as the transfer is received.

Notice that on the block chain there is a warning that says "This transaction has a very small output and is non standard".

This might be the reason for the delay. Which wallet did you use to send it from ?

We received your bet transfer after one of the events was already over.

As a result, your bet has been rejected and refunded.

What we can do, without compromising your privacy, is allow you to obtain a full report of all the bets that you placed via e-mail.

However, this will require you to provide your e-mail address when betting, otherwise the bets will not be included in the report.

Would you find that useful ?

For example, right now when a bet is placed, a page is generated for anyone to view the status of that bet if they have the url.  What I'm saying is that each user could be identified by their email address and a page could be generated showing all of their bets.  However, the url for the page would be unique, so you would have to have the url to view all of the bets placed by that user.  Basically, it would be the same level of privacy as now or even more private if you omit the payment/email address information and only show the bets, without linking to their bet pages.  By only showing the bets and not showing the actual bet page, people wouldn't know how much was bet, or by whom, even if they stumbled across the unique url.

Not a necessity though.  As it sits now I write down all my bets so that when I'm at the bar watching all the games I know what I'm rooting for.

Do a secret link that has bet history. I.E. Nitrogen has this, if you don't want an account.

All bets could be shown at this link, and the link corresponds with the payout address, the first time it is used.

The problem with this approach, if I understand it correctly, is that if you lose your secret link (i.e. the cookies are deleted), due to the anonymity nature, you will forever lose access to your bet history report, right ?

We like the idea of bet history report via e-mail which I mentioned previously. Would you find such a feature useful ?

hi, just asking. how many confirmations do you need to make this bet accepted?

No confirmations are needed, your bet will be confirmed immediately as soon as the transfer is received.

However, the payout will be sent after there are 6 confirmations for your initial bet transfer.
