Bitcoins best/closest thing to real money sportsbook in betting options avaliable. Odds can be terrible in comparison at times. Which can be a major factor for some bettors especially those who are currently betting with fiat currency considering giving bitcoins a shot.

Damn, I've never had anything regraded or voided, but thats still pretty fucked up.

I would love it if the Mixed Martial Arts section returns.

great site, i wish it would be revamped though.

 
With my post above addressing that, I prefer a separate post for addressing regraded/voided wagers.

I also had 2 bets regraded this past weekend, although in my situation I actually came out ahead. I think it would be easier for me to show rather than try to explain since neither of them were just a straight bet.


Both wagers are 3 leg parlays, 2 legs of each wager are identical with the only difference being a single leg one of which is ravens +3.5(full game) and ravens +3.5 1st Half



#10100 ravens +3.5(full game) risking .80 to win back 1.80, potential profit 1.00btc



#10101 ravens +3.5 1st Half risking .86 to win back 1.87, this wager was a loss and was graded a loss, losing .86btc



again #10100 this wager was originally graded a winner crediting me back 1.80btc (.80 risked + 1.00 won)
After being regraded and voiding the ravens bet, it then becomes a 2 leg parlay and paying odds reduce from the original +125 to the now -250. Now risking .80 to win 1.12, profit .32 but also the initial credit of 1.80 after winning was then deducted



#10101 after being regraded and voiding the ravens bet, my losing 3 leg parlay then became a winning 2 leg parlay. Winning odds reduced from +118 to -250, Now risking .86 to win 1.20, profit .34 + .86 which I originally lost but am now credited back.






So prior to regrading I had risked 1.66 on 2 wagers, losing one and winning the other after which I received 1.80 back. 1.80-1.66=.14btc

After regrading the same risk of 1.66 on 2 wagers both of which were winners at reduced odds which returned 2.32-1.66=.66


Regardless of how this situation turned out for me, I was never made aware of corrections being made to my account or wagers being modified. I still have no idea why exactly the bets for the ravens were voided. Never was an explanation given. In fact had I not noticed this myself I may never of saw and never have been told.

I have not yet contact anonibet concerning this however I did have a misgraded wager once before on a baseball game that was rained and played the next day. Any and all attempts of contact at that time were all responded too and also corrected the wager in question and credited the BTC.

 

Well a few key things immediately come to mind:

Betting options per event are numerous 99% of the time, also parlays and round robins are offered. Not just spread, moneyline, and O/U offered elsewhere.

Bet amounts can be as little as .1 on most wagers and can be made as precisely as you may want down to .01. Compared to a 1btc minimum or .5btc minimum required by the sister sites.

I prefer to lock in a line and know for sure my wager has been accepted, rather than wondering if someone will eventually come along and take the opposite side I am wanting. When using btcsportsmatch if the line moves after I post up my side the current line is wat you get. Would like to see more traffic especially on the 1st half and 2nd half pages, I have never seen people posted up on either of those.
 

pretty unsure why anybody would play here as opposed to btcsportsmatch.com

They are charging vig when btcsportsmatch doesn't. Also, you do need to find somebody to match your bet .. which you almost ALWAYS can. If not, we can start a thread asking if somebody can take the action

Other than that, I guess it is nice knowing there's always somewhere to degen money to if I can't find somebody to take the action!

I've bookmarked this site as possibly being of future interest. It sounds as though a few customers have been suffering from some potentially serious issues, but that should be resolved in time, I'd assume. I may come back to this place when cricket is added to the list of sports to bet on.

While I still haven't received any messages from anonibet, my account has been corrected. 

Heard from a few more people that anonibet messed with, including this pm from a newb who cannot post in this forum yet.

name redacted since I didn't ask for permission.

Speak up, anonibet, and explain to us why you feel like you can reverse completed bets without even telling us why.

Sunday, made 2 bets on the early NFL games. One of the bets was on CHI-MINN game, under 38.5.  Thanks to a scoreless last 19 minutes, the total was 38 and I get the win.  

I withdrew the day's winnings late Sunday afternoon or evening, and it was approved overnight and sent.  4 hours later, according to my account history, anonibet voided the chicago-minnesota bet, and tried to confiscate the winning amount.  Well, since they had approved and shipped my withdrawal a few hours before, there was no coin in my account at the time.  I logged in this afternoon, and my account shows a negative amount.  A quick look in my account history shows what they did, but I gotta say, I was pretty pissed I didn't even get an email about this.  Clearly, I'm never going to use this account again if I'm starting with a negative balance, but to have a sportsbook cancel a bet about 12 hours + after the game was complete and the winnings payed out is bad business, and a big ass red flag.  There's no note or reason anywhere as to why they voided this bet, just a simple totals bet like they offer on every game in almost every sport.  

So tell me, Anonibet, why did you do as you did?  I sent in a message through the site's Contact form, but figured I'd also let you answer in public, if you wish.  PM me with any questions if necessary, but clearly I'm never going to use this account again until this is resolved.

edit: FYI, I'm also aware of others who bet this game who had the result voided after the fact.  The one instance I'm sure of, they bet wasn't even on the totals, so same game, completely different bet.  What's wrong with this particular game that made anonibet decide to try to fuck their customers?  Had I lost, would I have been refunded 12 hours after the game ended?  I highly doubt it...

well...looks like no betting on any of todays NFL games for me...

EDIT:  are there any other NFL betting sites out there besides betsofbitco.in ?
EDIT 2: site is back online - but still waiting for payment of a winning bet

What's up with the site? I'm pretty new but I love the site, first experience with sports betting

...but I haven't been able to access for a few days and I've got some unsettled bets and a fair balance that I could use!

Other sites report it being down also. Does anyone from anonibet keep up on this thread?

Has Mixed Martial Arts betting been removed? Can't seem to find UFC 148.

aww man you really are spamming in here? LOL

btw: GO CELTICS!!!!

MIAMI IS GOING HOME LOSERS TONIGHT!!!!!

BTCSportsMatch.com (sister site of BTCSportsBet) is great for betting nearly vig-free on major sports. Bets are matched against other users with 1% of winning amount charged only. Typical to see 20+ BTC bets offered with good rep and instant payouts.

I have to agree. No other site comes even close to AnoniBet. This site LOOKS like a sports betting site. Whatever people say, looks do matter.

Anonibet is certainly a much better sports betting site than Btcsportsbet. Anonibet has more sports, more betting options, instant deposits, fast withdrawals and fast grade of the bets. I've made several deposits and withdrawals without problems. Simply Anonibet is the best option for people who want to bet on sports using bitcoins.

I love how you have all of the different kind of bets. The other bitcoin sportsbook I use only does spread, money, and totals. Looks great!

Technomage is right though, you should definitely have a native English speaker comb through the site for typos.

I've been betting on the world ice hockey champinships also, everything has worked smooth. More smooth than the five or so other sportsbooks I've used in the past. A big part of this "smoothness" is ofcourse in bitcoins speed. I've been brave enough to slip about 50 of my hard earned bitcoins on to the site and I have not been ripped off. I have caught a few glitches on the site, but nothing major, mainly just some explanatory "something has failed in generating this page" type of message. Which passed in some time, overall Im loving it and the gameselection they offer is propably the largest I've seen.
