I also use xbet.io for my world cup betting.

they are always improving, very responsive whenever there is a problem and you do not have to trust them with your money.

you also get to choose your own odds which i think is very cool.

Real Bets. Real People. By Anyone, on anything

Hi mine big alts,

If you're interested in P2P betting; check out betmoose; we have a lot of world cup bets being hosted now, and we're very user-friendly to use. For example:

___________FIFA World Cup Champion
Options: Brazil | Argentina | Germany | Spain | Other Team

BetMoose doesn't have 'spreads' or 'odds' - you bet directly against other real people. If you're looking to play alone (or with very large amounts), I agree with Peeps Place - try the 'A' rated sportsbooks.

In this case it is even better.

There is no third party like some lawyers office or anything like that. the third party is the counterparty protocol itself. the money can only go to the bettors and only the fee goes to xbet.io.

this escrow is at the protocol level so it cannot be gamed. true, provably fair sport betting is here!

XBet.IO is not rated because they are new. None of the bitcoin books hold verified funds escrow. Be careful of sites that claim to hold funds in escrow without solid proof. The ratings are based on user input with payment history being highly weighted. You will not have problems with "A" and "B" rated books. They have been in business longer than a year with a spotless payout history.

if you should have used your rating system a year ago for mt.gox how would you have rated them? they have been around for many years at that time.
I really don't want to argue with you but MtGox has nothing to do with this. Many people use data mining to prove a point. The facts say that many, if not most, start up businesses fail. You opened June 9th. I only wish you success. It would be nice for the bitcoin community if you do succeed.

I am glad you aim for what is best for the bitcoin community. I do appreciate the work you do on your thread to help beginners know who to trust.

I hope that you will give xbet.io a try and know that after you give do it will make a believer out of you Smiley
Thank you. I will definitely try xbet.io.

how do you rate the websites? how do you get from a rating of B to C to A?

do those websites have to hold the funds in escrow to be top rated like here

Quote
No registration, identification or account is required. You do not have to open an account on XBet.IO to place a bet. Your money is kept wherever you decide. Moreover, since the funds are held in escrow by the network and not by a specific person or group, your funds can't be stolen or seized by anyone. We recommend using Counterwallet, which is free, open source and is fully compatible with XBet.IO

And in fact, anybody running bitcoind and counterpartyd (both open source) on their own PC can place bets using the Counterparty protocol using the XBet.io feeds.  The web interface for the Counterparty wallet (aka Counterwallet) is open-source as well, and it can be placed on any computer and work just like it does at counterwallet.co.

The Counterparty developers have focused on a web interface first.  It is open-source as well.  https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet

Everything discoverable on the XBet.io website is also discoverable using a user-compiled counterparty installation.

the web wallet is open source and is not hosted by xbet.io.

i suggest you caeck them out and see for yourself how good of a service xbet.io are doing to bitcoin gambling
Escrow is money held by a third party.

Players should be careful at this time of the year and play with established books. The World Cup is the most popular time for hit and run books. After that it's the Super Bowl. I'm not saying that the new kids on the block are necessarily bad books.  The odds say that some will be out of business shortly after the World Cup walking off with funds. This is not the time to test out new books.

so you are saying i should not trust xbet.io?

it sounds like they are the only place that can't run away with my money because they don't take deposits.

if they don't take deposits, how can they steal the money?

That decision is solely up to you since I don't want to tell anyone where they should or shouldn't play. It's also not my right to say that a book should or should not be trusted. Information and ratings are posted to help you make that decision.
