any book got mma props?

Directbet typically offers a few, usually on only the main card. They typically offer bets on winner by decision/tko/submission bets. They do not offer round bets or over/unders though. Nitrogen offers o/u and straight winner bets only. Anonibet typically only offers straight winner bets and only on a handful of the fights that are available.
If you find one let me know, I'd be very interested in getting in on it.

Could it be only a coincidence that when a new bitcoin sportbook site appeared all odds disappeared from webetcoins ? 

Next step  : webetcoins will disappear (with my and others BTC)

@Peeps Place: Do you still have the ongoing feud with DirectBet? Is this why they aren't listed?

I had hoped you two had managed to put your differences aside and be reasonable with each other now. It's clear to all that they're an A grade sportsbook, so why aren't they listed? How can you claim this is a subjective & honest list without potentially the best (or maybe second best) bitcoin book in the land listed?

Realistically they aren't close to an "A" rated book. If you look at their thread, they have down time and grading problems on a daily basis. Their rating should be "C-"

It seems that many people promoting DirectBet haven't played at other books. If you compare DirectBet to other books there aren't any advantages to playing at Directbet other than not having to deposit.

This is actually a negative since there are more steps in making a bet with DirectBet causing players to get shut out at DirectBet more than any other book.

DirectBet

3/18
Quote
We do have.

Apologies for the short outage earlier today. All bets are back up by the way.

Quote
lost something big because of downtime, sent a pm to admin, i hope he helps as always

Quote
Site still down?? Whats going on? even refreshing is not working now.! how much time is it going to take?

Quote
Lucky you.  They didn't refund any of the bets I made when the site was down at the weekend.

In fact, they sent me an email yesterday saying that it isn't possible to refund bets when the site is down and said that they would never do so because it would stop Directbet being provably fai

Quote
Very amateur operation to have an outage like this. You can't offer live betting and have your site go down. Just can't happen.

And I don't know is did my bet went through or not?

Quote
Your bet was confirmed. I sent you a PM with more details.

The problem with our website has been resolved.

Quote
We're currently experiencing a technical problem. We are working to resolve it as quickly as possible and I will update you shortly.

I apology for the inconvenience caused.

Quote
Yes exactly, now I see this as well. So will the bet go through or not since the event starts in 10 mins.

Quote
he sent money before maintance and now its maintaince and no bets will be processed, hence this is happening .

Quote
Hello,

It has been 20 minutes since I made a bet. I am seeing this:

Bet Status : Pending

Message : Transfer received. Your bet will be processed shortly. Please check back momentarily.

And I don't know is did my bet went through or not?

Thanks

Quote
If your web site is down you can't see this info.  You web site was not accessible to me (in the UK) from 2130UTC on the 14th until the point I made my last "chasing my losses" bet at about 1100UTC on the 15th.

Directbet:  Please could you reply to my email with your correspondence address.  I'd like to ask my solicitor to clear up a few hopefully minor inconsistencies in conversations and versions of events over the last few days and I would like this to be done out of the public eye.

Quote
However, something I learned while betting everywhere; once the site starts getting buggy, you cash out and wait for the storm to pass. There are thousands of sites waiting for your money, so I'd recommend just visiting another site until the trouble is gone.

The result for this bet is a Push. Your bet has now been settled and refunded.

Along with Nitrogen they are in fact the only book deserving to be even close to an A grade. So what they have downtime? I wouldn't say these are on a daily basis but yes they have become more frequent lately. Grading problems are to do with the odds providers, not the sites themselves and are unavoidable, although, having bet at DB for almost a year, I've never had to wait more than an hour for a payout. I bet several times a day.

I actually use many books but DirectBet is the best for me. I don't see how no deposits is a negative either and I think that further emphasizes your obvious bias against DirectBet. Bet transfers are "seen" by their system in 99% of cases for me within 5-10 seconds.

Along with the "negotiate" option when live betting you have no risk of misplacing bets, and the only risk of losing funds is if the book runs away whilst your events are in progress. For me, the no deposit thing is probably the best invention a sportsbook could use and eliminates most of their ability to shut up shop with a lot of money in their pocket.

That's a massive plus. Like I said, Nitrogen is the only book that is close to DirectBet as things stand and this is plain for most to see. It's time you put your childish feud with DirectBet to bed, Peeps.

I don't know if this is still a problem but a player posted a parlay ticket at DirectBet. The parlay showed the total risk/win amount but didn't show the odds of each leg. If one leg pushes the player should know the price of that leg to properly calculate the winnings.

Part of the reason for so much downtime at DirectBet is lack of man power. If another site goes down, they have multiple programmers to fix the problem. Most of the other sites have experienced gamblers as part of their team. DirectBet is still learning on the job.

I seriously hope the best for DirectBet but as stated in a previous post, they are an amateur operation. They aren't close to the quality of the other books.

"I seriously hope the best for DirectBet..."
Good one.


I or anyone else could compile a similar list of complaints for every other book here, although it would be most difficult to do so for Nitrogen.

Every other book has had just as many if not more complaints re: being offline; withdrawal problems/amount of time to receive withdrawal; etc.
Such a list would be easy to compile for anonibet.

No btc book should be manual withdrawals, and there should never be a daily period of 8 hours or more where one cannot receive a withdrawal.

I'm not going to waste time rehashing all of this, but Grumpster is 100% correct and anyone with at least a room temperature IQ who has been following all of this realizes that he's 100% correct.

To say nothing of the ongoing issue of them offering a non-sustainable bonus, seizing funds for bonus abuse without defining bonus abuse, etc., etc.

we can pick holes in every book but have to look at the totality.

With the seizing of funds on that one person I asked him if he wanted help. He didn't want help thus I couldn't look at his account. From the little that I did see that was posted in the Anonibet thread, he was making 1.01 bets. I'm not sure how Anonibet calculates rollovers, it could be the lessor of the risk/payout.

Since I don't have permission to look into the account, it has to be considered a non-factor.

edit- Besides that, you have to look at the credibility of the poster. The player posted a lot of misinformation.

The downtime isn't recent. It's an ongoing problem.

IMO, the only advantage directbet has is live betting. I haven't had any problems with downtime or getting paid from directbet in the past but their odds are TERRIBLE compared to nitro. I got bored of sports betting and to busy with other things so haven't been to directbet much in the past few months so can't comment on recent downtime and payouts.

Directbet also appear to have a bunch of shills, not sure if they're getting paid with free bets or what. Either shills or people who haven't bet anywhere else so wouldn't know how bad their odds are. Include them in a poll and watch those shills vote them to the top  Cheesy I remember seeing a poll where they beat primedice and a couple of other sites combined. Which is pretty hard to believe considering primedice alone has a good amount of supporters who are more active on this forum and their chat.
