I posted this over a year ago so things may have changed. Another poster confirmed.

BTCSportsmatch : This is an exchange that has been up for 2 years and has potential. You get an actual account that you put bitcoins into so you know what has been accepted and what is not accepted. Winners pay a 1% fee and the lines are Pinny no-vig. The problem is that if there are line changes, your offer moves to the line change price and it's good unless you cancel prior to an acceptance.

That is absolutely true. I've already voiced those concerns about that "exchange."

shows me that site doesn't exist anymore. Would it be safe to say I would be paid If I won a bet on btcsportsmatch?

I would assume you wouldn't have a problem on the exchange but there is something strange on line movement that I don't remember now.

Also please explain about btcsportsmatch because I heard good things. I like the 1% vig only that the winner pays. Why would they stop winners? Aren't they not responsible for the action and just middle-manning it?

I'm a little tired so I don't remember the exact facts, but you don't always get the line that you offered so you are blind betting. The line can move based on the market price of other books. I'll look it up later if someone else doesn't post it how it can occur. Originally I was talking about BTCSportsbet. They have both a book and exchange.

Look at that address I posted for sbobitcoin. What are your thoughts on that? Am i wrong in my assumption that its sketchy? It looks as if they have a small amount of deposits but take high bets. Looks like they are 1 big winners away from running. I am sorry to be a pain but I was looking to deposit 20 coins and do 3-5 btc wagers on ncaa tomorrow.

It's totally understandable that you want information with that type of deposit.. That's what the thread is about, gamblers helping gamblers. Hopefully others will chime in on SBOBitcoin.

nscala- If you are uncomfortable with what was said in that chat then definitely don't deposit because on my thoughts. You shouldn't have the pressure of worrying about payouts if you are uncomfortable. It's tough enough to win.

Direct bet I have used your site and put some big bets through it. vig is high which is why I don't continuously put bets through it.

Peeps place. The person in live chat told me specifically they only receive all player deposits to 1 address and he listed the address: https://blockchain.info/address/1Gh26dKJz4RVKRUxoy8cjiw9hyJ7eCNXxQ

If thats the address they have been receiving deposits since they opened as I was told, why is there only 105 BTC received lifetime. I want to do a big deposit there but I think something very sketchy is going on. Are you sure I would be able to withdraw lots of BTC from there if I won?

I feel confident that you would be able to withdraw large amounts. They accept big bets so they have to be paying out large sums. With a book like this that accepts huge wagers I would run if they had any problems at all, but haven't as of yet.

I don't like BTCSportsmatch if you are a big gambler that wins. They will use the syndicate rule and are unwilling to talk with a third party on disputes.

zach
How does a big site like sbobitcoin only have 1 address with small activity?
zach
hello?
Che
Hi Zach.
zach
Hello I am looking to deposit a large amount of btc
Che
Regarding your question why we only have 1 wallet address, we just make it our default wallet for deposit.
Che
We want to clarify you Zach that once you log-in and starting to play at Pinnacle, Sbo Bitcoin has no control of your funds anymore.
zach
I was interested in depositing again but you told me you had only 1 address and it has 100 btc in it...
zach
i was told i come to sbobitcoin to withdraw
Che
So Zach you want another wallet to prove that we can pay you when you deposit huge amount? Something like that?
zach
Yes another address that has a lot that i can send to so I know its yours
Che
Let me check on that. How much BTC you want to deposit? 20?
zach
Yes
Che
I'll get back to you. Just give me a couple of minutes
zach
Ok
Che
Hi Zach still there?
zach
yes
Che
We do have some other bitcoin wallet which is "reserved". And sorry to tell you that wallet should not disclose to any one Zach. If you still doubting us if we can pay you or not, then the decision is up to you. But we can assure you we are not a scam. We can cater huge amount of deposits.

I just wanted to confirm what DirectBet stated. They do have a perfect track record and pay fast even with live betting.

Hello all, I bet on nitrogen sports but have 2 BTC limits. Now that bit book closed, which sites are reliable that offer high limits. I heard about btcsportsmatch.eu but it got a D rating. Is that site not safe?

Second of all, I was going to do a deposit of 20 BTC to sbobitcoin.com until the person in live chat told me they only have 1 Deposit address for everyone and it has 105 BTC received lifetime in it. But yet they take bets for 20-30 BTC.

Can someone help me find a reliable site with high limits.

DirectBet lets you win up to approx. 7.8 BTC in net profit per bet, so if for example the bet decimal odds is 1.5, you can bet up to approx. 15.5 BTC.

For the high stakes bettors, we run a VIP program where you can earn up to 1 BTC reward every month. BTW, starting next month we will significantly increase the monthly rewards.

As for safety, we currently offer the safest Bitcoin sports betting out there as we keep your Bitcoins during the lifetime of the bet only. There is no "Account" and we don't take long term deposits. Bets settle automatically within minutes of the event completion and your winnings are sent back directly to your Bitcoin wallet.

We have a perfectly clean track record. Check out our thread here :

I think there was some type misunderstanding with SBOBitcoin. They have reserve wallets. You shouldn't run into any problems.

I am top level management, I assure you we are not going down! We are making improvements that you'll love! Give it a few more hours at most. We may be live within the hour.

Rest assured, WE ARE MAKING IMPROVEMENTS! In fact with the BitBook shutdown, we are prepared to onboard all of their displaced players, and felt this was the perfect time to make our improvements to the site.

FYI: There may be a lag on U.S. Data feeds, so NBA lines etc, may not be available immediately, but of course they will be up soon. We wont keep the site down, waiting for our feeds.

Raiders said he can't really mediate disputes, that he is just giving ratings not acting as an arbitrator.

We will look into all complaints but do not want to be involved in arbitration since it would be detrimental to an unbiased rating system. The community is making decisions, not Peeps Place.
