Topic: #1 RATINGS and REVIEWS of SPORTS BOOKS thread. Poster input appreciated. - page 3. (Read 89556 times)

DirectBet- Go look at every other rating site. The top books have gone under. Fortunately with input from the posters, that hasn't happened here. The top books are good books and you are wrong to criticize. All the "B-" and above are very strong. The top books at other rating sites will continue to go under.

I didn't want the bet 7 minutes later. I don't want you to give me the odds. I want firm odds at the time I place the bet as it is with every other legitimate book. If you would just pipe down we can listen to what others have to say so that a fair assessment can be made. Your words don't mean a thing at this point.

Remember when you said that Livebets didn't pay me and that was the reason for their D- rating. You showed me where Ryan had them rated as the 3rd highest book. Livebets went under with player's funds shortly after that.

The delay was not in the blockchain but rather in your web wallet.

Despite the rare delay, you still got a fair bet. When you ordered the bet on our website the odds were 3.3. When your bet transfer arrived 7 minutes later, the bet odds went up to 5.5 to reflect what was happening in the game, and your bet was confirmed at odds of 5.5.


You still didn't get it.

You can deposit first and then place the bet with immediate confirmation using firm odds just like you can with deposit books.

Please read again this post more thoroughly or better yet give it a try :

Still, the preferred solution is to use the official Bitcoin Core client for time sensitive bets.


We had delays confirming bets in the past when our Bitcoin wallet was clogged during rush hours.

This was a "good" problem as it happened thanks to a significant increase in the number of bets that we are receiving.

We took action and last week have made a major upgrade to our infrastructure to solve it.


You made a similar false accusation yesterday, even on senior and hero members, and we proved you wrong :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8076721

Unlike you, we are not hiding behind shill accounts.
 

That's another false information spread by Peeps Place.

I'm sorry Peeps Place but every time you make a false accusation on DirectBet, we have no choice but to remind the members here that you are getting paid monthly by our competitors, Anonibet, BetcoinSports and Nitrogen to do so.

We truly hope they will realize that a liar representative is bad publicity for them and that they will stop funding your activity immediately.

Thanks for your support jjc326.

Hopefully more will follow and share their experience with DirectBet.

Thanks for the input. If people like you speak up it helps the ratings. With me the problem wasn't on the part of DirectBet, but with the blockchain that held my bet for 7 minutes and I couldn't cancel my bet.

I have no stake in the matter but have to agree with DirectBet here.  They don't withhold any bets, I understand it to be the Bitcoin system itself that sometimes delays me obtaining back my bets or winnings. For live play, I agree there are some issues because you can never get your bet in for the time you want it with the odds you want.  But, DirectBet is totally honest about everything they do and I've never seen anything shady by them so I don't see how you can lower their rating.

What book is this for? Mouthpieces and liars do not make it far in this industry. Simple as that

Once again you continue to spread false and misleading information on DirectBet.

I have already explained to you several times why it is not true that bets are held for an extended period of time.

You are either pretending not to understand, or you are just a marketing guy with no clue on Bitcoin Sports betting.

Either way, you do not have the creditability to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks.

I will however explain it to you again with the hope that you will get it this time :

If you use the official Bitcoin Core client or its lighter version MultiBit you will not encounter any delays. Your bets will be transferred and confirmed instantly.

If you use a shared web wallet such as BlockChain.info your bet transfers may sometimes broadcast in a few minutes delay, although this is extremely rare.

If you bet before the start of the game, that's not really an issue at all. If you bet in-play, there are two solutions :

1. Place your in-play bets using the official Bitcoin Core client.

OR

2. You can deposit first and then place the bet with immediate confirmation, just like you can with deposit books. This is explained in more details here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7708830

Note that you don't need to negotiate the odds betting exchange style in order to do so. You just use the Negotiate Odds betting option to make a deposit and then you can place your bet at market prices.

I'm sorry Peeps Place but every time you make a false accusation on DirectBet, we have no choice but to remind the members here that you are getting paid monthly by our competitors, Anonibet, BetcoinSports and Nitrogen to do so.

We truly hope they will realize that a liar representative is bad publicity for them and that they will stop funding your activity immediately.

DirectBet- Your reply seems to be a problem with me. You have to put out fires on a daily basis in your thread. Can you dispute anything that was written concerning your book or are all the problems valid?

Do any others have opinions? I'll wait some time but without valid objections, Anonibet will remain "A", Jetwin will be upgraded to "C" and DirectBet downgraded to "C-".

WARNING ! This is not a true ratings guide. Ratings are paid for.

There are people who rate Bitcoin Sportbooks, and there are people who rate the people that rate Bitcoin Sportbooks.

76% think that Peeps Place does not have the creditability to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks because he is getting paid by Anonibet to rate them on top regardless of public opinion.

What do you think ?

Come and vote in our thread : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/directbet-live-sportsbook-racebook-now-accepting-ether-393147

Please post any input that you have on the above listed books. Also, input from other books will help us. I can't remember a thread besides this one, where warnings were given about 4 books and all 4 books went under. Posters are the ones that first posted the problems in this thread and then they were looked in to.

DirectBet - I know that you are going to be in here with many repetitive posts. It's been asked by myself and others that this thread be for the posters. We want books to enter but talk about their own book. Feel free to bash me but please keep your conversation to your own book and not others. All books abide by this rule except for you.

not fair. do not want to be deceived. if a scam site pays a lot, it can also be recognized as provably fair...

WARNING ! This is not a true ratings guide. Ratings are paid for.

If you want another proof that ratings in this guide are paid for, this is it :


BetcoinSports purchased a banner on www.PeepsPlace.com earlier this month and lo and behold, they got upgraded !

Previously, CloudBet had a banner at www.PeepsPlace.com and they were ranked 3rd. Now their banner was replaced by BetcoinSports and as a result BetcoinSports are now ranked 3rd and Cloudbet went down to 5th.

The bottom line is that the top 3 rated books in this "ratings guide" are always the 3 books that are paying for banners at www.PeepsPlace.com and the more you pay Peeps Place, the higher your rating is !

We already revealed in the past that the banner deal offered by Peeps Place includes advertisement in forums :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7714802

I feel that a couple of books should be upgraded or downgraded. Tomorrow I will throw them out for public opinion of suggested upgrades and downgrades.

DirectBet questioned the validity of this thread so here are a couple of quotes from this thread. Some of these books asked to advertise at peepsplace.com and were told, "no".

No. I'm saying that DirectBet was rated #9. Then a ton of ratings came in at 5. It looked as though many signed up within the last few months. All the 4's you mention came in after my post.

Those numbers may not be exact since I just eyed it up. If questioned, when I have time, I can look.

These guys all came in after my post where all 5's were coming in. Lot's of 4 and 4.5
4
4
4.5
4.5
5

I'm not looking at every post but it looks like a good portion of the 5s  are all newbies or guys winning your contests.

Look at who voted us 5 :

3 Senior members, 1 Hero member and 1 Newbie.

Why do you lie again and say "shills that just signed up" ?

I'm sorry Peeps Place but every time you make a false accusation on DirectBet, we have no choice but to remind the members here that you are getting paid monthly by our competitors, Anonibet, BetcoinSports and Nitrogen to do so.

We truly hope they will realize that a liar representative is bad publicity for them and that they will stop funding your activity immediately.

So according to you that Sr. Member accounts are shill, because they voted Directbet 4 or above.
