Has anyone tried out BTCbet . And why is there odds difference on Nitrogen and Directbet.
DB seems to offer better odds a lot of times. But overall which sites are better for odds ?
Nitrogen is one of the best books as far as margins are concerned. DirectBet is one of the worst. Nitrogen, Betcoinsports, Casinobitcoin and Cloudbet are all reduced juice shops.
Ive been using Directbet for quite a while now n havent faced any problems yet. Could you tell me y is it one of the worst? I have used Nitrogen before..!! they take ages to grade games. Quite a lot of the time I see on chat users asking mods to "please grade xyz game". But I like Nitro too other than that. I generally have seen better odds for favs in directbet than nitro. the only complaint I have on Directbet is that they hardly worked on their look. It looks like some amateur made that site.
Posters here at Bitcointalk are tech savy. They understand bitcoins and alt coins and like being able to bet with them. Posters here also like the free small contests. Ignoring the gimmicks and solely evaluating DirectBet as a sportsbook, they come out as one of the worst.
There is a Las Vegas sports forum that will soon be posting the rating's guide used here. If a poster there asks me for my personal opinion on DirectBet, the below would be my reasons for not recommending DirectBet.
1. Under no circumstances should a book be able keep a bet open without accepting/rejecting within a few seconds. Some books delay action a few seconds to prevent accepting steam plays. With DirectBet, it's not that unusual for bets to be held for an extended period of time. This alone would keep me from recommending DirectBet to any gambler.
We confirm or reject bets instantly as soon as they arrive in our wallet. This can be verified by the time stamps in the blockchain.
What you are referring to are a couple of your bets that were broadcasted to the Bitcoin network in a few minutes delay by your wallet provider blockchain.info. As a result, they did not arrive in our wallet on time. We provided blockchain evident for that.
This was blockchain.info fault. Nevertheless, since we have many clients using blockchain.info as their wallet, and since these delays did happen from time to time, several months ago we added another connection directly to blockchain.info infrastructure so that we get notifications for transfers sent from their wallet before they get broadcasted to the Bitcoin network.
Thanks to that there are no longer such delays.
If you are still concerned that your bet transfer may be delayed by your wallet and want an option to cancel your bet if it arrives later than planned, we do offer such an option.
We explain how to do it on our website here :
