well I'm not sure if it need API TBH , cause if you know the site bitedge that posts some arbitrage opportunities somehow they scan and know where are the best odds
I used to have an arbitrage subscription for a site called satoshi signals , and same they were able to scan the odds from all bitcoin bookies and post the higher odds  

Well I guess you could do it that way, and just scan that site. When I first read your idea I thought that you actually wanted to create one website that would allow users to interact directly with other bookies. Since you said:

"basically they allow you to place bets on different bookies so you can put your funds in one place and bet on the best odds that one of the bookies offer"

In order to do this, you would need to use an API. If you just want to scan bets, and show the best available odds from a list of bookies, then users would not deposit in that website, and would need to go to the listed bookie and make their bet with their platform, as they normally would.

It's still a good idea. Not as convenient as using just one site, but still a great service.

Yes Easysportbet is top notch, I am using it.

They offer same odds as Betfair.

The thing I really like is that they offer a bonus every week if you lose.

As you probably know, betting is very much up and down Smiley I am myself very confident in my ability to have a profitable year with Betfair odds,  but I know you cannot win every week, so when you lose a big amount of money on Week X they will give like 10 or 20% of your loss. This is actually a huge help to be profitable over the long term.

I was up 900 euros last year, and this year I am up 500 euros already with them, the weekly bonus really helps.

IDK I tried to contact them and sent them an email two days ago but they still not answered me
do you know if there are some country restrictions , also are withdrawals there automatic or you need to contact support in order to withdraw
I would like to try it but their support seems to be not that active  

Hi, I don't know where you are from you can contact them here http://easysportbet.co.uk/en/support/  all I know is that my country is accepted.
Withdrawals are usually pretty quick yes but not automatic.
I usually got quick replies.
You can try Facebook and Twitter too.

Actually if you have access to the API of Pinnacle, Betfair, etc. you can start this business, but you will need to be the counterpart of all the bets, which mean you need a lot of funds.


By the way, www.easysportbet.co.uk allows deposits with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ethereum (they are a broker for Matchbook and Betfair), the money is converted to Euros though.

I'm using asianconnect at the moment and they do allow bitcoin deposits and withdrawals , they convert to euros and as their support said to me bitcoin users don't have to send them their ID

did you try easysportbet ? wondering if ID verification is requires cause I tried to join sportmarket.com but they are asking for verification and it should be written in English

so was wondering why we don't see such thing in bitcoin gambling , I mean imagine accessing all the bitcoin bookies from one site and getting the best of the odds without the need of keeping your btc moving between bookies

this may be a million dollar ICO project  Grin

Good idea.  Smiley  I'm not certain how high in demand better odds are or what the average split is between high books and low books. Most gamblers I've come across seem to want additional betting props and live betting. Those could be the two features which are highest in demand. Props and live betting may also be the most dangerous and high risk features for sportsbooks to offer to customers due to the elevated odds in props and what could be a higher probability of winning with live betting.

so lately I have been using some fiat sport brokers , basically they allow you to place bets on different bookies so you can put your funds in one place and bet on the best odds that one of the bookies offer

That's a really good idea, and right now the only problem I see is that most crypto bookies, or at least a decent number of them, don't have a public API. For a site like that to work, they would need to be able to get access to their odds, so that they could list the better odds available. We see some odds being listed in sites like flashscore, but they only list bookies that provide an API.
Another problem could be that some bookies require your to make a deposit on their site, in order to make a bet. This way you would still need to put some funds there.

It's still a great idea, but it would probably put to much pressures on bookies, so I'm not sure they would help a site that would offer that service, because if they didn't had the best odds, they would not get any bets on their sites. I do see a site that would built their own player base, and could then negotiate special promotions with bookies for their customers.

Good idea on where it will give convenience for us sports gamblers on placing bets without the hassle on depositing from one site to another.I haven't seen one yet and we don't know if someone do already have this idea and just preparing it out to be launched.It would really be a big project which would require some good amounts of funds to be used but once done then expect lots will surely make use of this and might will get the popularity.

it doesn't need that much of money except for creating the platform, since the site will be using other bookies odds
basically these sites only make profit , there is no loss when you use a broker since they take a small fee either on winning bets or deposits and withdrawals ( sometimes both )

of course I can't create such thing cause I know nothing about managing or creating platforms , but can't see why we still don't have one yet
If you don't really have any knowledge into managing and creating platforms then it would really be a hard thing to start out.I don't know why we haven't seen one yet as of now,maybe they would consider it out if they do saw that there are lots of gamblers do seek out this kind of thing.For now we cant do nothing but to wait up for such development which will really be a big convenience for us.
