DirectBet - The default goes to Flexible Odds. Recommended In-Play. Confirm bet at the best available odds by the time the bet transfer is received. Odds might be higher or lower than current quoted odds. My personal opinion is that the default should be firm odds. Most that play live aren't use to being able to receive worse odds. Every time I go in to make a new bet it switches to flexible odds. That's blind betting. When you place a bet, the default betting option is what you selected for the last bet. If you never placed a bet before, or if cookies are disabled, the default is the "Flexible Odds" option. The reason for that is because this is now the recommended betting option for all bets and because it is the most used option, even at times when it wasn't the default. In the past, when you selected the "Firm Odds" option, if by the time we received your bet the odds decreased, we tolerated it up to a certain point and still confirmed your bet at the higher ordered odds. Now that we are offering the highest possible odds, we can no longer provide that tolerance, therefore, to improve your betting experience and avoid rejections, we recommend the "Flexible Odds" option for all bets. If you order a bet long before the event start time, when odds rarely fluctuate, and send out your bet immediately, your bet will confirm at the ordered odds virtually every time. Note that when odds fluctuate, the "Flexible Odds" option does offer you some protection. If by the time we receive your bet transfer we do not have odds or have unreliable odds, your bet will be rejected. We will not confirm your bet at unfairly low odds that do not truly reflect the probability of the bet outcome.

I clear cookies several times per week, and I'm only interested in Fixed Odds bets.

New broker opened. Evolvebets is similar to SBOBitcoin.
Books include SBOBet, IBCbet and TBSBET.
Anybody know anything about them? Offhand I'd prefer SBOBitcoin.com, as they have 24/7 live chat and 24/7 withdrawals, while this place is down for 7.5 hrs/day and their chat currently says "Leave a message" so if they do have live chat it is not 24/7 either.

Bitcoinsportstrade opened a couple of weeks ago. They don't have lines for full game. It's only for props and they only list one or two props per day such as Dirk Nowitzki total points+assists+rebounds starting in 7:10 Dwight Howard total points+rebounds starting in 9:40

DirectBet- I think that you should offer both sides of wagers. Many times you just offer one side such as Mia/Brook in game. Brooklyn is +166 but no odds on Mia.

Info@Anonibet - [Re: statement in T&C that withdrawing without 1x play through will be charged 5%]
"Dear Gogo ppp,
Thank you for your comment. As I have already explained, we do not want to become a safe box. We have never applied this rule so far. I do not understand why this disturbs you..."
Michael - Since you said you don't understand...
I leave a few coins in various books that I feel comfortable with, in case I find a bet I would like to make in the future and can save time this way.
I would feel comfortable doing this with Anonibet, except I don't want to be charged 5% if I decide to withdraw (a few coins). Part of the positives of bitcoins is they can be moved for a few pennies, not 5%.
So it makes me uncomfortable for that reason. Yours is the only book where I see that charge. If I leave 4 coins valued at ~$500 usd each it will cost me $100 if you change your mind/someone other than you applies the charge, etc.
You say the charge has never been applied. But then, as I asked, why not remove the language, and give individual warnings that you will apply the 5% charge in the future to people you feel are using Anonibet as a safe box.
So this is why it disturbs me and why I mentioned it for a 2nd time.
OK I see your point now. You might be right, we shall remove it from our T&C.
We have set this rule in order to prevent large amounts of BTC kept in Anonibet. Bitcoin is very attractive for hackers and we do not want to attract "bad guys" thinking we keep large amounts of BTC. This was the only purpose really. We do not even charge withdraw fees, we pay the network fee at each withdraw so that our customers receive the exact amount they have withdrawn from Anonibet. Regards, Michael The above re: the following in Anonibet's T&C: "2.02 In order to withdraw funds from your account, you are required to place bets as much as the amount deposited. If you make a withdrawal request without placing bets 5% handling fee shall be deducted from the amount you have requested." Michael - "OK I see your point now. You might be right, we shall remove it from our T&C." Peeps Place - "Nice work by both gogo and Anonibet working together. It's good to see a book take our opinions seriously." Yet I notice it is still there 9 days later. Perhaps you forgot to remove it? Anonibet - What is happening with the above situation? Did you decide not to remove the 5% charge for withdrawing without rolling over a deposit one time? Posted May 4th Hi Gogo, - We will remove this %5 from our T&C. I have requested from our IT team to remove it. They will certainly do it this week.![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Two new bitcoin sportsbooks have entered the ratings this week. Webetcoins.com and Gobetgo.com both opened the ratings at D+. Webetcoins.com is offering extremely low juice in baseball: 5 cent lines on sides and 10 cent lines on totals. Gobetgo.com also talks openly about a desire to offer the lowest juice of all bitcoin books, but that isn’t the case yet. A quick look at Friday’s lines for MLB shows Gobetgo.com is using 17 cent lines for sides, and 12 cent lines on totals.
It bears repeating once again: The popularity of bitcoins has led to a number of new businesses using the digital currency, with casinos and sportsbooks near the top of the list. New sportsbooks, dealing either with bitcoins or postup, are likely to fail. It has been estimated less than 10% of all sportsbooks make it at least one year before folding. Anonibet and Nitrogen Sports have passed the time test; one can feel relatively confident they are planning to stay for the long haul. The newer books haven’t had the opportunity to show this endurance, so are riskier to the average player. Caution is advised.

Just writing a small feedback on nitrogensports, They at least deserve some praising:
I have used them for 6 months now, I didn't have any problems with the websites nor grading/slip placing . Grading for 90% of the events occurred within less than 10 minutes of it ending regardless of the time. I get my withdrawals instantly (not playing E-sports), Most comfortable User-interference since Old Bitbook days.
They also have teasers and I doubt anyone else has those on current BTC bookies, Best sport bookie I have used so far.

dplay talking about Coindrafts I need to retract my statement about them being thieves, I no longer think they are.
I've had a 2btc pending withdrawal request for weeks, when I finally threatened them to post my story on the forum they agreed to process a manual payout (as they supposedly have the funds but their software is riddled with glitches). When I was offered a manual payout I asked for a greater sum to be paid out than my initial 2btc request. I was given some random reason why they weren't able to fulfill my desire for my cash to be given to me, but they promised to pay out the 2btc.
As it appears, they did pay out half of it and I had no idea it was them until livechat pointed it out to me right now. They also apologized for sending only half the sum and promised again to send the other half today.
As for the rest of my balance with them I do not expect to see it soon, if ever. I was just given a line by livechat that 'it is looking good to have that done within the next 48 hours' but I do not believe one word of it.
Therefore, I repeat, I do not think they are thieves, I sincerely think honest people run the site. On the other hand I do think they're completely broke.

It's now over a month and you have not followed thru. It's inexcusable to charge 5% for a btc withdrawal which costs you nothing. Do you know of any other btc book that charges for withdrawals? What is the problem? Did you decide you want that 5%? If not, why haven't you followed thru after stating twice that you will?
