Yeah but it took about 5 minutes to confirm instead of 5 seconds...

According to our records it took 3 minutes from the time that you ordered the bet on our website to the time it was confirmed.

Apparently part of the delay was because our Bitcoin wallet was clogged as at that particular moment we received an unusual number of bets on this game simultaneously.

I'm sorry for the short delay, we are working to improve this.

Your "clogging" cost me .59
Please send.

They are middle men. They get their odds from Cloudbet & Bet365

That's not true.

 Nah...not true at all.

On one hand, you are claiming that we clone Cloudbet and Bet365, which is not true.

On the other hand, you are claiming that you bet on our website because you can not find the bets that we offer anywhere else.

That doesn't make any sense.

If you believe that we are treating you unfairly, why are you not placing your bets on Cloudbet or Bet365 instead ? We are just "cloning" them right ?

The truth is that we have treated you extremely well and patiently, despite the fact that you blackmailed us several times and threatened to make negative publicity on DirectBet if we don't refund your losing bets.

You keep complaining on "technical problems" with your losing bets, but you never say a word about your winning bets.

I'd like to kindly ask that you please stop spreading false information on DirectBet. Otherwise, we will have no other choice but to ban you from placing any more bets on our website.

Our automated betting system will be back up shortly and will settle all open bets automatically.

Meanwhile, if your winning bets have not been settled and you don't wish to wait any longer, please e-mail your bet IDs to support@directbet.eu and we will settle them manually.

If your winning bets have not been settled within an hour of the event completion as a result of this down time, we will compensate you with a free 0.01 BTC bet.

Simply order any bet that you like once bets are back up and e-mail support@directbet.eu the free bet ID along with the ID of the bet that did not settle on time. We will then fund your free bet with 0.01 BTC.

Sincere apologies once again.

I expect my .01 btc and also an explanation as to wtf happened. I bet alot and am afraid to keep bettign at your book if random shit like this happens.

directbet is a clone to betfair, isnt it?

basically, the business model is to act as a bookmaker in bitcoins and offload the same bets on betfair with a tiny margin.


so when betfair is down, they cant provide odds too

I actually thought something similar, but then I realized that's wrong - in fact both sites are just using the same data feeds.

If your winning bet is at least 0.01 BTC in size, with odds higher than 6.96, you will win an extra prize of 0.016 BTC as part of the sports betting contest that we're running here, plus help all other participants make some easy BTC by resetting the next 'odds to beat' back to 0 !

For more details : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=393147.msg7685797#msg7685797

Make sure your bet stake is at least 0.01 BTC, 0.5 LTC or 10,000 DOGE.

We look forward to the next winner !

I've sent an email with my free 0.01BTC details due to the earlier delays, thanks.

Both sites are not using the same data since betfair is an exchange bookmaker

many bookmakers use betfair as a benchmark. here it seems they are simply replicating the betfair odds plus a tiny margin

Tip :

If you are concerned that your bet transfer may be delayed by your wallet, and want an option to cancel your bet if it arrives later than planned, we do offer such an option.

You can order a negotiated bet and set the odds to 1000 (unrealistic). Then wait for your bet to arrive.

Once your bet arrives and is set to Negotiate state, if you are no longer interested in the bet, you can cancel it. If and when you are interested in the bet, change the odds to the current odds and your bet will confirm instantly. By doing it this way, you will have full control on when your bet is confirmed, just like you have with deposit books, and with an option to cancel your bet if it arrives late.

If you had accounts and ways to deposit to the account (they could be optional and you could keep the current system as a secondary one) then people wouldn't face this problem anymore and nobody would need to complain about the change of odds during the time it takes for the transaction to register and the system to confirm the bet.
