Oh god why ):
3.85 odds just made this impossible

I can't imagine myself ever making a bet using "Flexible" or "Negotiate".

Why not ?

Because I'm interested in making a bet, not possibly making a bet depending on whether the odds ever reach what I want.


DirectBet - "I have added your suggestion to our wish list. We will look into displaying the maximum bet size before you order the bet.

That said, we would rather solve this problem at its root. We don't want you to place your bets elsewhere, or split it among multiple books. Our maximum bet sizes are relatively high and once you bet the maximum we should be able to accept additional bets. If you skip bets because the maximum bet size is insufficient, please e-mail us the bet IDs and how much you were interested in betting, and we will look to increase the limits for future similar bets."

Appreciate this. Will contact you when there's a specific example.

Suggestion - On the bet send screen (the 2nd screen that gives the address the bettor should send to), not only confirm the team/odds/line, but also whether it's Firm Odds or the other types of odds.

Because I'm interested in making a bet, not possibly making a bet depending on whether the odds ever reach what I want.

What I was trying to explain is that if you select "Negotiate Odds" and set the minimum odds to the current bet odds (this is done by default you don't need to enter anything) then effectively it is the same as selecting "Firm Odds". There is no difference, except that by using the "Negotiate Odds" option you have better control as to what to do in the rare case where the line changes between the time that you ordered the bet to the time that your bet transfer was received.

Suggestion - On the bet send screen (the 2nd screen that gives the address the bettor should send to), not only confirm the team/odds/line, but also whether it's Firm Odds or the other types of odds.

It's there already :

If you select "Firm Odds" it will say : England @ 2.8
If you select "Flexible Odds" it will say : England @ Best Available Odds On Receipt.
If you select "Negotiate Odds" it will say : England @ 2.8 or better

Hey,

I posted earlier, but now that I've had time to use the site more and place bets, I wanted to post some feedback.

1. The odds suck. Especially in-play odds. I know you're working towards a profit, but online gambling sites like Bet365 and William Hill are, in most cases, offering double the odds yourselves are in-play. That's disappointing.
2. With games like soccer and rugby, since you have a live feed attached to the in-play markets, it would be awesome if you would be able to display the scores somewhere on that particular games' betting page. Would save me having to go off-site to check the scores of games I bet on.
3. Payouts are VERY quick! I made upwards of 10 winning bets today, received most within a few minutes of the event ending, the longest payment took about 12 minutes from when the game ended. I like that.
4. Deposits are quite slow. And why do you put bets into pending for so long? Like, I deposit to place a bet, you receive it, and it shows as 'pending' everytime for at least 2 minutes, even though there are no price changes happening in the event at all. This caused me to lose some coins with payouts.
5. Another moan about odds, but this time at the Toto feature. If I'm placing an accumulator, I should get a lot better odds than your site is offering.

That's about it for now

Hi Grumpster,

Thanks for your feedback.

1. I believe our odds are competitive, both in-play and pre-game. Can you please PM me bets where other books are offering "double the odds" so that I can look into it ?

2. We do plan to display live scores in the future, it's on our to do list.

3. "Pending" status should only last a few seconds. Can you please PM me the ID(s) of bets where the status was pending for 2 minutes ? I'd like to investigate it. If you're not sure, please send me your payout address and I'll be able to find out how long it took to confirm all your bets.

4. We do not take any fee or extra juice from Toto ~ Parlay bets. The odds are calculated by simply multiplying the odds of all the bets in the Toto ~ Parlay slip.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback and I look forward to hearing from you.

That is weird. My bets are usually confirmed within 10 seconds after sending. Maybe you did not refresh the page?

[Grumpster]

Hi DirectBet,

I am unable to PM you, but just used the contact form on your site and included my payout address in the email for you to investigate the "pending" issue. This happened to me on a few different bets, and one was pending for 2-3 minutes I'm sure.

Toto bets essentially are accumulator bets, like on other sites. If I'm betting a toto bet my payout at the end should be greater than simply the odds combined.

Odds for many games are not correct btw, you only have to look at a site like oddschecker.com to see the differences in your odds from the odds of other sites.

I looked at your recent bets and according to our records they were all confirmed within a few seconds of the time they were received (except those that were negotiated).

Have you refreshed the Bet Status page every few seconds by clicking on the "Refresh Bet Status" button ?

Your bets were confirmed swiftly as far as our automated betting system is concerned. Perhaps it took some extra time until it was reflected on our website. If it happens again, can you please e-mail us the bet ID ?

As for the Toto, the odds of each bet is multiplied. For example, lets say that you add 3 bets to your Toto slip :

Bet # 1 Odds = 2
Bet # 2 Odds = 3
Bet # 3 Odds = 4

Your Toto ~ Parlay odds would be 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 (odds are in decimal)

As you can see, the odds are much greater than the odds of all individual bets combined.

Been waiting 45 minutes for MLB Brewers bet to be graded.

I wanted to put the winnings on the Diamondbacks @ 2.06 first 5 innings. I queued up the bet, but no funds to place it with since Directbet is holding my winnings. Not happy.

This is not typical of DB. Usually they grade within minutes.
