What are the features you want most in a sportsbook?

Instant withdrawals wins the vote, I guess a lot of us really wants that kind of feature in sportsbook.

The odds is not a problem as they can get the best odds provider in the market, in terms of length of operation, it's important but I don't fully trust my money in crypto casinos, that's the reason why I don't keep it there, instead I have a frequent transaction to withdraw and deposit funds, so instant withdrawal is very helpful.

Please share your most important features. If you have more, please shout out below.

In addition to the 4 features that the OP mentioned, Sportsbooks has a large selection of other features provided such as: automatic betting & I prefer the 'trust' feature.

Sportsbooks, always making customers safe & peaceful, customers can use the game facilities without stopping 24 hours, There are many things that can be done on sportsbook sites, horse racing etc, changes in other forms, of course all of that to provide one sure guarantee of happiness that the user has.

If examined deeper, a very good feature on the Sportsbooks website is 'withdrawal'.
In good terms, being able to receive full payment even though the competition isn't over, and by locking in profits, it usually happens to guess the score, that's what I like the most. Sportsbooks gambling sites can lock in the win.

Most commonly feature that I'm looking for in a sports book is its reputation and how long did it operates.

It is hard to find a reliable sportsbook nowadays because some are really not convenient for me. I really want to access a sportsbook that operates for almost 5 years and really fast in troubleshooting errors or issues in their platform. I also want a sportsbook that is not that hard to navigate, that will not make me confused on how to use it. Also the deposits and withdrawals are the thing that I'm preferring if it is fast and the transactions don't have any delay or unprocessed in a certain sportsbook. Like what I've said, the important thing for me is the quality of service and trust.

This is the one that most sports bettors love, it's very costly in fiat casinos but it's very affordable in crypto casinos especially if you are using coins or tokens with very low transaction fee, and also there are some sites that shoulders the withdrawal fee, so that's another plus factor.

Odds are almost the same, sportsbook will ensure they'll avail the service from the best betting odds provider, thus, it will eliminate the opportunity of the arbitrage bettors to make money.

I think the influence of odds is very important and has a very strong effect because so far I am gambling when the odds are set to a very low value so the prize that is gained is very high but when the odds are set to a high value then it will get low results.

We don't want to get troubles through withdrawal and I think our minds are uniting on it. 

The feature that I want in sportsbook is instant withdrawal, because for what sportsbook has many advantages, but when I want to withdraw
long or difficult. This is very frustrating, many gambling sites developers underestimate this. Though the most instant withdrawal feature much
sought after, no problem little choice method for deposit. As long as we can withdraw immediately, will definitely like by many gamblers.

Yeah, the crowd goes with the instant withdrawal.

We hate it if there's a problem or the withdrawal takes so long.

After years of revolutions in sportsbetting with respect to crypto environment, I was thinking like almost every requirement of a common gambler has been achieved. But after coming across this topic I am just wondering still there would be more possibilities to make our experience better if gambling houses will be listening to our suggestions and ideas. It is really surprising that people are looking forward regardless of what they had in the past. We cannot blame them because this is how all revolution of service industries are happening.

Honestly I'm not having any big expectation with the features that I am already using for years still the houses I am gambling are not able to provide me good odds as they are buying it. Only when more gamblers will be joining into sportsbetting, I guess what I'm expecting might be happening.

I have tried both, they don't have an instant withdrawal, did you use them recently, and you experience it?

I've made a few withdrawals from Stake recently, they're not instant like sportsbet but it's still fast I think mine got processed within 5-10 minutes.

By "withdrawal" you mean the cashout feature right ? It is a good feature but for it to work they have to improve their live betting since the cashed out amount heavily relies on the offered live odds.

Reputation is the obvious and highest priority because if you cannot trust the sportsbook then there is no reason if you are winning or loosing because you don't know if you are actually winning or is it just an illusion because the sportsbook might not process your withdrawals.

But apart from trust, I feel like cash-out is a great feature now a days that I look for in any sports betting website I come across because when my team is loosing I can always cash-out the bet and rather than loosing it completely I save something and similarly when my player/team is doing good I can cash my betslips if I feel the cash-out is good enough.

There are only a few sportsbooks that have been operating for a long time and have TRUST. Because to get it must go through a process
the long one. Therefore only popular sportsbooks usually have trust features, because they have to provide the best service and can provide
comfort to its users. And features like that that a sportsbook must have, in order to make a sportsbook reliable.

Personally speaking I don't mind if payments are sent within 24 hours because with sportsbook I usually cash my winnings once I have accumulated something significant while when playing casino instant withdraw is a must, sportsbook not so much but yeah if instant even better.

You must be doing sports betting at a small scale because I have been with people who bet big and all they want in their sportsbook is actually the highest possible odds because imagine betting on 2.1 odds and somewhere else 2 odds and you bet 1 bitcoin then you are going to miss like 0.1 bitcoins every time you bet.

That's the kind of discipline I admire, but mind you, there's always a risk of letting your money sleep in a casino, if they go scam, your money will be gone, but then that is only in rare cases if you are betting a reputable gambling sites.

Really huge difference for big bettors in sports, they need to get a good odds, you are right.
I think most sportsbook in crypto now has been competing well with betting odds already but based on the example, 2.10  or 2.0 is still a good odds as you are not paying a juice for it.
