How are your limits for the new sportsbook? BitcoinRush has annoying 30 mBTC limits when a game is far away from starting so I might switch over if you have decent limits
We have developed a risk management algorithm that uses several data, like liquidity, odd, and other data to calculate it.
We are now in "safe mode" because we just went public few days ago, but the max bet for major matches is already reasonable.
Since we launched yesterday, there are already few settled bets of 1BTC +
Thanks for the answers. However, it's not true that you don't have commission - it's quite easy to calculate (even though it's hidden).
Let's take, for example, today's game Bayern - Liverpool
https://www.betbtc.co/fixtures/bayern-munich-vs-liverpool-387153Bayern: 2.16
Liverpool: 3.6
Draw. 3.59
1/2.16+1/3.6+1/3.59 = 1,0192922728
Margin = 1,0192922728 - 1 = 0,0192922728 = 1,9%Even thought it's a good margin, it's really not cool to claim that you don't have any.
There is a margin in the odd (it always has a little one), but there is no commission.
Commission is applied after the transaction. In the former BetBTC exchange, the odds naturally had a spread / margin and additionally, we also charged a fee on every winning bet. The fee was 4% on the net winnings.
You should show "max bet" to know how much someone can bet on a market.
I have several questions for BetBTC:
1. Do you adjust your lines (do you have "in home" market makers) or you just copy paste pinnacle lines?
2. Can one person make multiple bets at the same market after line adjustment (pinnacle model) ?
3. Do you have any plans to use some altcoins in the future (bitcoin is not the best chose for some people) ?
1- We have our lines, sometimes they will be better, sometimes worse than pin.
2- Yes you can make the number of bets you want. The risk management algo will block you when you are not allowed to place more, or the line is saturated.
3- We will keep loyal to our origin
Yeah, parlay is definitely a welcome change and I love it, without parlay you can definitely give it a go but its just a good addition that is really welcomed, not a "must" but a "good to have" so to speak.
Moreover, the speed is really like how people mentioned, I have never seen any sportsbook so fast, you click something and you get it right away without waiting for a loading time at all, I don't know how important that is for some people but just the same with parlay it is definitely a good to have, who wouldn't prefer instant right away pages instead of waiting for loading times on each page.
I just wanted to say maybe the next stop should be futures, like who will win the champions league or NBA and what not, that type of future sportsbook betting for the winner has always been my absolute favorite.
Thanks for your suggestion, we will consider more markets on a next version.
