Seriously? You were a DirectBet reg? They had like the worst odds available. Lol.
Anyway, in Peeps' post are your best choices. Go send a request for the features you want. And hope to be heard... That's what I do.
Obviously I was, and I still am. I would definitely want to play at DirectBet if they ever make a comeback, did you ever play there? On what basis are you saying that their odds were worst? I've never had any issues whatsoever you are trying to describe here and I'm a big fan of them just because of their on-chain ability to settle the transactions almost immediately.
To my knowledge, the only one doing this now is onehash, but they're more like a marketplace. So instead of betting with the bookie, you're taking offers made by others. Bets are settled on-chain, though. You deposit the wager, and provide an address to get your winnings once settled. They don't keep balances on account, but of course, if you're a market maker, then your deposits stay until someone accepts your offer(s).
Does it mean that when a bet is opened by me, it needs to be picked up by someone to bet against me for the competition to begin? And what happens if the match ends (as if I go for a sports related bet)? Will my bet go void and I'll get back my coins? Chances here are, I'll probably never get the bet of my choice if going to pick a wager myself out of the already provided bets by users there.
