I understand that some of the problems with bets being held aren't your fault most of the time even if unfair to the player, but there are many mistakes in the rules that you may want to change.

DirectBet rules

If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and an official result is not declared within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void, except for those which have been unconditionally determined.

Look at MLB official rule book, rule 4.12
It is possible for games to begin, be suspended and resumed at a later date (all stats remain).

Hey guys, I think we finally figured out the mysterious criteria Peeps Place is using to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks.

Rating is based on the monthly payment he is receiving from the books :

A lot
Bitcoin or two
Change at most
Don't Pay
Failed to pay and now it's too late !

That's not a mistake. Our standard rule for all bets is 3 days. If however we receive confirmation earlier that the match will not be resumed \ replayed we will void bets and issue refunds to our clients immediately.

That makes sense. Looking at Peeps posts, it's like he's also getting paid to bash books that don't pay.

Like their lines or not, DirectBet is the best for live betting. No other book that offers all the betting options they do... sometimes the odds are not great but I've gotten a couple good ones before.

Please post the books that I bash. The books that I've bashed have all gone under. The only book that I currently bash is DirectBet. If you question the ratings, then it's appreciated why they are questioned. Poster input warrants changes and I take all input seriously. Do you feel any changes should be made?

 Single game bets do not carry over in baseball during the regular season. You can't hold the money 3 days. No one else does.

............If a game is called or suspended after 5 innings, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning of play ...........

I don't know how you can totally hate on or bash Directbet frankly...see they don't even have deposits there so if they "closed down" they wouldn't be "running away with bitcoin" like so many others have.

I could be wrong but it's my feeling that they will run with the money during the Super Bowl. Players will have a lot of money tied up in props and live wagering. Bitcoinlivebets did it after the World Cup. The link in my signature talks about books running after the World Cup and Super Bowl.

As far as a rating, do you thing it's justifiable for DirectBet to have a high rating? Input is needed for all of the books. I never bash a person's opinion as long as they don't throw out false allegations. Thanks

I'd love to get back to Vegas.
Not even to gamble, just go with a few buddies and not have to deal with clients or work for a week or so.

DirectBet- Do you plan on changing the 3 day rule for American sports? This is book making 101. It's mind boggling that a bookmaker is confused by simple rules. You don't just throw up a site without understanding gambling and make it in this business.

I love it there. I spend a lot of the NFL season and all of March Madness in Vegas. The lines are better for my way of betting.

DirectBet- Do you plan on changing the 3 day rule for American sports?

No, this is the standard default rule across our Sportsbook and we do not plan to change it.

Each Sportsbook may have a slightly different set of rules for bets.

The most important thing is that we clearly state our rules and follow them consistently regardless of the bet result.

For those of you who didn't follow, we're referring to this rule :

If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and an official result is not declared within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void, except for those which have been unconditionally determined. If however we receive confirmation earlier that the match will not be resumed \ replayed we will void bets and issue refunds to our clients immediately.

This is book making 101. It's mind boggling that a bookmaker is confused by simple rules. You don't just throw up a site without understanding gambling and make it in this business.

For your information, the book that you work for has a similar rule.

Did you have any prior gambling experience prior to opening? You think that other books hold bets for 3 days in baseball? Rules from other books:

predictem

Baseball betting rules are pretty standard both in Las Vegas and offshore............Official Game: A baseball (side) bet becomes official for betting purposes after 5 innings of play or 4.5 innings if the home team has the lead. Should a game be suspended, the winning side is determined by the score after the last full inning

BetUS

If a game is 'called', or suspended, winners and losers for betting are official after at least 5 full innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4½ innings. If a game is 'called', or suspended etc, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called). Please note that suspended games do not carry over for wagering purposes.

TheGreek

If a game is cancelled or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called).

BetUSA

Major League Baseball games are official after 5 innings of play, or 4½ innings if the home team is leading.  If a game is subsequently called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team ties the score or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning in which the game was suspended.

BetMania

If a game is annulled or postponed, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning that is unless the home team scores to a run to tie the game, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning. In this case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called official.

Bookmaker

Winners and Losers are official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4½ innings. If a game is called or suspended, the score after the last full inning determines the winner.

Lasvegassportsbetting

Baseball
A baseball game becomes official for moneyline wagering purposes after 4 1/2 innings if home team is winning, or 5 innings if visiting team is winning.
If a game is cancelled or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the winner is determined by the score at the time the game is called).

[DirectBet]

You think that other books hold bets for 3 days in baseball? Rules from other books:

The book that you work for has a similar rule to ours :

In cases where the events on which bet is made is postponed, if the event is commenced within 48 hours, the bets remain valid. If the event is postponed for more than 48 hours, the amounts wagered for the bet shall be returned to the Client’s account.

[Rating Place]

I don't work for any book. The 3 day rule is a general rule that is used but not sports specific. Since you want to pick on Anonibet, they target the European market and have better live offerings in both tennis and soccer than you do. They have the best among all bitcoin books and are starting to make their move into American markets. I'd expect a rule change. Their live offerings and props are reasons for their top rating.

If you want to target the baseball market, then you should be using the standard baseball rules. Note to those that arb. You may get burned using books with conflicting sports book rules.

You are the only one who is thinking that Directbet doesnt deserve a high rating,

because you are paid to bash Directbet, why does not any mods ban this awful person here, trashing and bashing on others thread..

Isnt there a Rules about that?

We all think that Directbet Derserves a higher rating, but you wont give them that, because Directbet doesnt want to pay you to advertise them..

You're rating on Sportbook is frankly bias in all aspects, so do you think someone needs to believe your ratings on sportsbook,

rather questioning if Directbet deserves a higher rating, why not ask yourself, are you worth believing for? are your ratings really that close to the truth or its just a bias, advertising rating for sportsbook?
