DirectBet – LIVE Sportsbook & Racebook. Now Accepting Ether !

[hawks87]

How is this even remotely fair? This isn't even one of the "bad" ones. This is par for the course at Directbet for Live games (except for live soccer, which has fair odds).

If you're looking for a bet with no house edge you may want to check our Direct Dice.

Direct Dice is a provably fair dice betting game featuring no house edge for frequent bettors.

In fact, you can actually gain a small edge over the house, because while betting with no house edge you're freerolling on the 10 BTC Jackpot !

I'm not looking for a bet with no house edge. I totally understand that you need to have an edge for sports, which is more than fine. But, you are way outside of the acceptable vig % for most events. In some cases, you try to downright steal by offering odds on a player who is about to lose (which are nowhere close to what the real odds should be) but not offering any odds on the player who is about to win.

Then there's the whole "settlement in progress" bullshit. You seem to have no problem taking in our money instantly.....but when it comes to payouts, you hold our fucking money.

I guess it's just you.

I have never had any problems with payouts here. All my bets paid out within 15 minutes after the result is known.

3 days ago I would have said the same. These past few days have been AWFUL. The games get graded as "won", and then sit and wait for settlement in a "settlement in progress" state. And yes, my bets have 1+ confirmations, so that's not the issue.

I'm not saying you're lyling, but could you share those bets with us? My experience with DirectBet is great, so sharing a few betslips might help me believe you.

[hawks87]

Now that my bet has finally been settled, I will state the following:

1) I'm done playing here
2) Your operation is unlicensed & illegal. It is HIGHLY illegal in the jurisdiction you operate from
    a) I have your information and will be filing a formal complaint with the government
    b) Your information will be posted for everyone to see
        i.) anyone who has been wronged by your site will be encouraged to join me in legal action


DirectBet - feel free to PM me

We never confirm bets that have no chance of winnings.

Perhaps you saw an outdated bet displayed on our website, but had you actually tried to place it, your bet would have been rejected and refunded automatically if it had no chance of winning.

Thanks to the time stamps in the blockchain, you can verify that we never confirmed bets that had no chance of winning.

DirectBet settles bets faster than any other Bitcoin Sportsbook.

During busy hours it may sometimes take a few more minutes for payouts to be issued because we have to send many payouts simultaneously, but even then, you will still get paid within an hour of the event completion and we will get that speed up in the coming days.

Has Direct bet already added altcoins or does it plan to do so in the coming days ?
Might be nice to see CLAM up there as well.

We recently added Darkcoin thanks to clients feedback and poll result.

We're considering adding another coin and currently taking votes and input from members here.

Please do continue to let us know which other coins you'd like to bet with at DirectBet.

Thanks for your feedback.

Directbet is keeping their cold storage wallet closed so that network can't confirm transactions.

I'm waiting for more than 30 hours for two winning bets.

Both have fees for miners.

I have a few things to say:
1. You're just 15 minutes member of this forum, so how is it possible that you know 30 hours about DirectBet?
2. You are most likely an alt of other guys trying to make DirectBet look bad.
3. Share the bets with us. If you don't, no one is going to believe you.

@betbitsex :
Have you contacted the support ?
maybe you have input wrong payout address or your transaction didn't get confirmation. The payout made after 1 confirmation.

If you input wrong payout address, they can help you send your winning manually.

Explain this:

22:30 Santos Laguna v Monterrey Mexican Primera Division 

Current score = Laguna 3, Monterrey 0

If you are going to offer odds for Monterrey & the draw, you better as fuck offer odds for ALL FUCKING SIDES (365 has laguna @ 1/125 right now).

LIVE !   Match Odds

Santos Laguna @ Negotiate
Monterrey @ 75
The Draw @ 65


GUESS WHAT FUCKER!? YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL FOR TAX EVASION & RUNNING AN ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATION! I KNOW YOUR INFO!

[hawks87]

Here's what these fucking crooks do. An example:

Underdog is at 5.0

Favorite is at 1.1


Underdog is losing 65-64.

Underdog scores to make it 67-65.


Directbet (they will blame the odds provider) will do the following.

Immediately lower the odds for the underdog from 5.0 to 3.5 (example - may not be 3.5, but close)

In some instances, they will actually jack up the odds for the favorite from 1.1 to 1.05 (yes - unbelievable, but this happens) before finally resting upon something like 1.15

[hawks87]

Worth noting:

Licensed operations (like Bet365) have their favorite & underdog odds tied together, so that when they lower odds on the underdog, the favorite's odds immediately change in line. DirectBet you can actually get fucked with an EXTREMELY bad line since they don't honor abide by this standard.

I'm waiting for more than 30 hours for two winning bets.

Your bets will be paid out as soon as there is 1 confirmation in the Bitcoin network for your initial bet transfers.

This is required to ensure that we actually receive your wager.

Currently there are 0 confirmations for your initial bet transfers because one of them was sent without fees and one of them is spending an unconfirmed input.

To avoid such delays in the future and have your bets pay out instantly you should not spend an unconfirmed transaction and pay the recommended transactional fee.

Right now all we can do is wait. It may take several hours. As soon as your initial bet transfer has 1 confirmation the bet will get paid out automatically.

Current score = Laguna 3, Monterrey 0

If you are going to offer odds for Monterrey & the draw, you better as fuck offer odds for ALL FUCKING SIDES (365 has laguna @ 1/125 right now).

The minimum odds for bets is 1.01 decimal.

In this case the odds for the Santos Laguna Match Odds bet when they had 3-0 lead were lower than 1.01 and therefore it was not available for betting.

You are always in here covering up for DB. Do they pay you?

Yeah, sure, they pay me 10 BTC every month to do that *be aware! sarcasm*

No, of course they don't.
The reason I try to defend DirectBet is that I hate that there are so many people trying to make DB look bad for no reason.
What strikes me about the people who make DB look bad is that they are mostly newbies.

There are two options
1. These people are new here, and don't know how everything works. I hope that they will learn from my comments.
2. These people are intentionally to make DB look bad. They probably do that because they lost a lot of money on DB, which isn't their fault. I react critically on them, so that others don't think that DB is bad.

This is gambling, and gambling was always fair and rely on luck ..
if you lose then you have not been lucky ..

it is the principle of gambling .. I believe with Directbet .. Its Probably fair

[Josepht]

Betbitsex, I think you need to learn a little more about bitcoin.

DirectBet can not do anything about confirmations. It isn't their fault that the transaction isn't confirmed.
You just have to wait until it does confirm.
