Buying Bitcoins to Fund 5Dimes Sportsbook Account?

[viking02]

Questions about bitcoins and appreciate if anyone here can answer it and would love if anyone here used bitcoin to deposit into a sportsbook like 5dimes.


Anyone able to buy a few thousand at least or have that amount of Bitcoin and then deposited no problem?


5dimes recently allowing users to deposit with bitcoins.  Can someone tell me how i do this?


1.  What about be the best way to buy bitcoins? Is it through coinbase?  And if so, how do you pay by? So i see 1 bitcoin is worth $636.13 now. If I want around $3000 or a bit more, i go and buy 5 bitcoins correct? 5 Bitcoins would be worth $3180.65 but how much fees do i have to pay? I assume credit card is what most ppl use to pay for it?  Im confused b/c i did read something that credit card and paypal is not allowed b/c it can be charged back.  If thats the case, then what is the preferred payment?  I have credit card, paypal, bank of america transfer.


2.  Bitcoin fees. I assume the only time you pay bitcoin fees is when you want to cashout those bitcoins into cash when you sell them? So when you transfer them from your account to 5dimes or from a site to your bit coin balance... there isn't any fee? I read the first million dollar transfers are free but then it would cost after that? Is that what is meant by the transfers?


3.  I know u cant cashout via bitcoin with 5dimes yet. But lets use another site for example. Assuming i buy 5 bitcoin for $3180.65 and deposited it into some site. Then i turned that amount into $5180.65 and want to cashout. I would withdraw to my bitcoin balance and it would be converted to whatever bitcoin its worth at the current price? And the only fees i pay is if i sell the bitcoins but if i want to use those bitcoins and deposit into another site theres no cost? And what are the fees for selling bitcoins?


4.  Can you buy bitcoins in fractions of bitcoin? I know you can buy 1 bitcoin, 2 bitcoin etc but can you buy 2.5, 2.2, 2.08 etc or is it only flat 1 or 2 etc or 2.2 bitcoin thus 1 decimal only?


5.  I also read ppl buying bitcoins from other ppl. Is that b/c it costs less but the risk is higher? Yet i do read once you receive bitcoin from someone, its not reverseable right?



From what i read, there isn't any limit to the amount of money you could deposit into 5dimes such as no max when depositing via bitcoins.  Has anyone bought bitcoins and used it specifically for 5dimes and can tell me how this works?

I haven't yet used Bitcoins in conjunction with 5Dimes, so I cannot give you my experiences there. However, I can help you with your general Bitcoin inquiries.

1. If you are in America, from what I've heard the best option is Coinbase. You can either deposit to them via bank transfer or credit card (although they do require verification). From there once you have deposited your fiat you can then convert it into Bitcoins and withdraw them to your address. Credit cards and paypal are generally frowned upon by individual traders (ie. from me to you) because of chargebacks, but companies like Coinbase are more willing to take the risk (also there is less risk for them given that they have worked it all out with the banks anyway).

2. Bitcoin transaction fees are simply a fee you require to send coins between addresses. These fees are at the moment BTC0.0001 which is like 6c or so. When you talk about the 'first million' being free - you are referring to what Coinbase charges to its merchants, which is irrelevant to you as you are not signing up to them as a merchant.

4. You can buy up to an eighth decimal place. It is one satoshi or BTC0.00000001

5. It will probably cost you about the same - it's easier for you with Coinbase. Go with that and if for some reason you can't get enough with the limits you have on Coinbase explore other options like localbitcoins. But please, make sure you do some reading first - most of this information can be found on the Bitcoin Wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page).

As light said coinbase is going to be the easiest option for anyone from the US (I personally like the service). It works vary similar to depositing to paypal or other similar site. CB charges like 1% fee for deposit/withdrawal. And 5dimes will probably have some sort of fee for transactions as well so round trip you might pay 2-3% in fee's.

But what i want to know is how much it would cost on my side or bitcoins side?  Again im not sure if im phrasing it right.


So if i have bank of america bank account, then paying it via bank account bank transfer echeck is the preferred method then?  Is that the method you mean/  Can you explain CB charges like 1 percent fee for deposit withdrawal?  Do you mean that fee when you withdraw from site to bitcoin or when you sell them?


Example, i go and buy 5 bitcoin for around $3100 to make it simple.  I go and deposit 5 bit coin into 5dimes... my 5dimes balance would be $3100 minus what fee ?  I know 5dimes doesn't charge a fee for deposits so its going to be either no fee or fee from cb.  Im confused 1 percent b/c i read a lot that transfers or deposits are 6 cents or 25 cents only or is that something else?

What you got from coinbase is your final balance no matter of how many transactions you do, so if you got 5 bitcoins from coinbase that will be the same amount you get into your bitocin wallet or 5dimes wallets, once you have purchased the bitcoins, the cost of bitcoin transactions are almost cero, so thats why im saying this.
Anyway i wouldnt deposit all the 5 bitcoin on a gambling site , just deposit what you will use at the moment, rest leave it on your bitcoin wallet, you never know what can happen to those sites.

Hey, that site 5dimes is very very safe.  Im not worried about that at all.  If you google top sportsbetting sites, 5dimes has been around for a very very long time... they are not shady.  They always payout unless you do shady stuff.  I used 5dimes for many years already with zero issues.  The big issue for me is getting funds there well bigger amounts.


If i buy 5 bitcoin for $3100, i will be paying with my bank of america checking account right?  Would it be an echeck?  Would they receive payment right away and how long would it take for me to receive the bitcoins in my bitcoin wallet?


I want to transfer all the bitcoins into 5dimes so i could use it.  Im not concerned about safety of my funds in 5dimes.


The cost of bitcoin transactions are almost zero... if so why do the other ppl mention its 1 percent then?

The fee they are talking about is the fee to purchasing the bitcoins, thats a coinbase charge is what someone gets for selling you bitcoins, and i dont know the exactly amount of time you can get your bitcoins buying them via bank of america but that will be probably around 3 days.

Someone who created a coinbase account and bought 0.10 bitcoin worth $63 tells me this since i asked i wanted to buy around $3000 worth of BTC to deposit into 5dimes



If I go to Coinbase right now and try to buy the equivalent amount of BTC this is what it looks like

Buy Amount 4.712239 BTC @ 636.83 USD/BTC
Subtotal   $3,000.90
Coinbase fee   $30.01
Bank fee   $0.15
Total $3,031.06



So the coinbase fee of 1 percent i have to pay no matter what site i use correct?  If i buy bitcoin from another user, i assume there would be no 1 percent fee but of course make sure that user is legit?  Does it cost them money to transfer me bitcoin or me receive bitcoin from them as oppose to buying it from coinbase?

Answer to your no.1 , A lot people don accept paypal or anything related to credit card it will cost you hard time and high fees . Try use bank transfer to local theres a site localbitcoin they do escrow and advertise .

Very true, due to the potential chargeback, it is very difficult for you to buy bitcoin with paypal or credit card.
You can find traders around you on localbitcoins and buy bitcoin from them, or buy bitcoin on an exchange after verifying your identity.

Hey guys.  So im looking to buy some BTC for boa online transfer from someone.  Does anyone know what is the rate that i should be paying for it if there is a rate?


Example if i buy $3000 worth of bitcoins myself through coinbase it would be this much right as i wrote previously a while back?  Thus $31.06 in fees so basically a little bit more than 1 percent?


Subtotal   $3,000.90
Coinbase fee   $30.01
Bank fee   $0.15
Total $3,031.06



But if i were to buy it from someone on a forum, would i be paying more or less or around the same price for $3000 worth of BTC?  The thing is assuming i had $3000 worth of bitcoins that i want to turn into usd as in bank of america transfer... i was told it cost the same 1 percent fee so basically for $3000 worth of bitcoin, it would cost me $31 or so and thus i get $2969 boa transfer to my account?  Thus it would be an echeck or ACH transaction?


So if the person is selling BTC worth $3000, isn't this person going to save some fees selling it to me as oppose selling it on coinbase as it cost him around 31 dollars?  If thats the case, then what would be the fair rate then?  I mean i can't imagine the seller selling it for more than $3031 b/c the buyer would be able to buy it directly from coinbase for that similar amount.  I can't imagine it would be lower than $2969 as that would be less than if he sold it on coinbase himself.  


So is $3000 worth of BTC selling then for around $3000 boa transfer?  Thus its right in the middle and the buyer doesnt have to incur the 31 dollar fees and the buyer doesn't have to incur the 31 dollar fee?  I believe the only fee one has to pay is that 0.15 transaction fee only?  



I could see $3000 worth of BTC selling more than $3000 boa... but is that logic wrong?  Reason being someone would want bitcoin.


Like to know if you are buying someones btc for your boa online transfer, what should be the rate?  So if someone buys 1k vs 8k of BTC, doesn't that make a difference for boa transfer?

Coinbase is going to be your cheapest route. Everyone on the forum will want 5% for their time plus you risk the chance of getting scammed.

[Ruzka]

You could also use Circle instead of Coinbase.

[viking02]

i was recommended to avoid circle in another forum.

Using Circle with my Bank account I have had no issues and prefer it to Coinbase, although I hear using credit card is better with Coinbase.

[viking02]

Is there a limit to how much i could buy since im a new user to coinbase?  I read i could only buy up to $100 up so?  And i can't buy more than 1000 dollars max until a few weeks?
