Here's a good example of the wide disparity between DirectBet's awful live odds and other sportsbooks. In the just completed Jorge Masvidal vs Ross Pearson fight on the UFC 201 tv prelims. After round 2 the odds were:
5Dimes Jorge Masvidal -2575 Ross Pearson +1300
DirectBet Jorge Masvidal -10000 Ross Pearson +440
Minus ten thousand, really? Who is ever going to bet that? And only +440 for the underdog as opposed to +1300. At least they put up both sides in this case, but these horrible live odds are par for the course.

Been waiting for my bet on Leo Santa Cruz by decision to confirm for about an hour. If the fight starts before my bet confirms, I will get a refund, right?

I've just been done out of a bet because of that bet limit issue I posted about earlier. I tried to put that bet on in play, I placed it quickly but the bet limit changed and by the time that went from 'no bet received' to 'pending' to 'rejected' I'd lost the chance to place the bet again. So about $1500 in profit just went up in smoke. The current system of bet limits is poor from the user point of view. Your suggestions last time simply don't work - if I'm betting on a fight with 2 minutes left I can't split my bet into 10 transactions, or use the negotiate odds option. edit - just to pre-empt anyone else jumping on this. I'm obviously not expecting this bet to be paid out, since it was cancelled and refunded as per the rules. I just want to see a better system for managing bet limits so that we're not placing bets in the first place that will end up cancelled. I'd rather you gave me a lower limit that was guaranteed. If rather you'd let me I'd have put 300 Ether on if it was 100% going to be honoured, than take my chances with a 500 Eth bet that may or may not be allowed to go through.

AFAIK your bet will only refund after the match or until the bet is not available. If it confirms while inplay it will still be counted tho

Can you please PM me your bet ID so that I can look into it ? If your bet was not confirmed for a long time I assume you used the Negotiate Odds betting option while setting the minimum required odds too high. In that case yes if your bet will not confirm by the start of the event it will get refunded, and you can reduce the minimum required odds to the current odds in order to get it confirmed instantly.

I'd rather you gave me a lower limit that was guaranteed. If you bet 50 ETH or less it is guaranteed not to be rejected for being over the limit. The max bet size usually increases as we approach the event start time as odds become more reliable. During UFC in-play betting the odds are often less reliable and therefore the max bet size is usually reduced to 50 ETH.

The max bet size usually increases as we approach the event start time as odds become more reliable. During UFC in-play betting the odds are often less reliable and therefore the max bet size is usually reduced to 50 ETH. Yes I understand I can bet 50 ETH to guarantee it goes through, but I want to bet more than that and seemingly sometimes you guys want to accept the bets. This is not related to UFC only, the same problem is with football too (I posted the exact same thing with the Chelsea v Real Madrid game) No 'real' bookmakers have this issue, I can bet on Ladbrokes, William hill, paddy power etc and I am never going to have a bet declined like this. If you're willing to take a 500 Ether bet it doesn't seem to make sense that the limit drops to 50 Ether a minute later, then another minute later shoots back up to 300 ethers, then down to 100, then back to 500. Its awful for the customer as its now down to sheer luck whether the bet is going to be honoured or not. And as mentioned before when betting in play, sending a series of 50 Eth bets isn't going to work.

Thanks again for your feedback. It is valuable for us and we will look for ways to improve that in the future.

I think Chinese Super League is becoming a very interesting soccer league, so I suggest to add it to your list.

Directbet stole over 5k from me. (9.04 BTC) I placed a bet over a month ago and directbet has not returned it. They rejected the bet and then did not refund the btc. Instead they just update the betslip page posting someone elses transaction ID and said its to cover an unpaid bet. Complete garbage from a garbage book. Directbet ignores all posts, emails, and support requests. https://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=1J48n6KMDKutNcb68ywoHgfrZVkD28VrfkCompletely unprofessional way to treat customers, support, and overall run a btc related site. Listen to all the bad posts and stay away from this book.
