HI, In live games I try to find a spot/time where I can get the best odds.. N while trying to bet quickly I might get the address wrong or send it to the address of the previously bet game.!! What would happen to the amount?? would that be refunded?

If you mistakenly send a bet to an old bet address then if the result is already determined for the old bet, your bet will be rejected and refunded after 1 confirmation. If however the other older bet is still open for betting, your bet will be processed normally. If it confirms it will stand. If you're not interested in the bet you can hedge it out for a minimal loss by betting on the opposite team \ selection.

14:30 Worcester v Newcastle British Basketball League 2014/15
Why even list these events? You have had it (and other BBL games) listed as LIVE! since they started, but "NEGOTIATE" for every single option. Midway through the 2nd quarter and still not one line.
SO MISLEADING! DON't PUT IT UP IF YOU WON't HAVE ODDS! Don't tell me your provider doesn't have odds. Bet365 has the odds, and you use a similar (same?) provider.

They do that in all sports. When it goes live it's almost always negotiate. It is misleading. There are other books with live soccer. It's classic bait & switch, even though I'm sure DB intending for that to be the case. It's like a store advertising a product that they don't sell. But, they sell a hell of a lot of other products. The problem is that when we, the customer, bring it to their attention.....they do nothing.

Some bets can only be negotiated in-play. What that means is that betting is temporarily suspended for this selection, but it is expected to become available later. Rather than waiting you have an option to put in a negotiated bet so that your bet might confirm automatically if and when betting is resumed, even for just a short period of time, and you can set up the minimum required odds or cancel the bet at any time as long as the bet is not yet confirmed. As of this writing this bet is no longer shown at all because betting is no longer expected to resume as we approach the end of the match. If you don't wish to use this feature you can simply ignore these bets and treat them as if they are not available. The majority of bets do have fixed odds.

LOL @ "as of this writing this bet is no longer shown".......wanna know why? Because the event ended. I had that screen open for the entire game, and it alternated between both teems as 'negotiate' and then sometimes would go to only Worcester as 'negotiate'. It was available until 37 seconds left in the match. Congrats.

When you list a event as live, us customers expect you to have odds for it. Your in play odds on everything other than soccer are juiced higher tha any other book. I'm willing to accept that, but don't list events that sit in the "negotiate" state for the ENTIRE MATCH.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider removing such bets completely. Have you tried placing such a negotiated only bet ? If so, did you not find it useful ? Why is it so important to you that we remove such bets completely from display rather than giving a chance for others who might be able to get them confirmed sometimes ?

The bet in question was on a British Basketball League game. DirectBet offered bets on this game while other Bitcoin Sportbooks did not. As for Soccer, DirectBet offers the most comprehensive live in-play Soccer coverage from all other Bitcoin Sportbooks.

Because it's misleading, as I mentioned before. When you list an event, you are implying that you will have odds for it (because you usually do). What good is it for the customer to place a negotiate bet, sit through an entire game, and not have it picked up? Also, I noticed that one of the teams (Newcastle) would intermittently "drop off". What's going on behind the scenes that causes this? Your provider obviously has odds available, but something is causing them not to be shown on your site.

Nitrogen & Anonibet to name a couple. You may have had pre-match odds, but you did not have anything in-play (for ANY of the BBL games)....yet you listed them as live.

We do have clients who use this feature to get their bets confirmed in situations where it wouldn't have been otherwise possible. These bets only appear when betting is expected to resume, even for just a few seconds, and in the future we want to extend it to a betting exchange type of bet. I agree with you that it can be improved. We thank you for your feedback and will look for ways to improve it in the future.

This directbet guy is too much. Anonibet and Nitrogen did have it up and Anonibet had it live.
There are two British Basketball League games today : Surrey v DurhamBristol v LeicesterAs of this writing, DirectBet offers bets on both games, while the other books that you mentioned do not offer any bet at all. Maybe they will add it later, but DirectBet is one step ahead of its competitors, which is why we have been voted The # 1 Bitcoin Betting Site of 2014.

Yes you offer odds on many games compared to others but there is just 2 things which need corrections and both in cricket in-play odds on events and make the harsh cricket rules a touch softer ... like asking team 20 over runs in t-20 match rather than asking innings runs and then making it lost when rain comes

In Cricket, if a match is shortened by weather, all bets are settled according to the official result. Keep in mind that the odds for Team Innings Runs bets are higher in the first place to factor in the fact that the game may be shortened. If you can, please e-mail support@directbet.eu with a quote of the rule that concerns you and we will gladly review and discuss it with you.

Why is it so important to you that we remove such bets completely from display rather than giving a chance for others who might be able to get them confirmed sometimes ? Ill answer on his behalf... Keep the negotiate tab..but show some available odds for the game.!! It sucks trying to negotiate on live game n I dont get the odds I want for like 2 mins..n have to tone it down everytime costing valuable time in the game.!! Its better to have a reference value..so that we can bet on the value near to it...instead of just guessing the possible odds n failing more than half the time..!
