Check out my other post here:
I'm growing increasingly frustrated. I've been a long-term Bitcoin users, blah blah blah.
But I've also been a long-term user of Bovada, they have Live Betting on tons of sports, and I'm looking for something like what Bovada offers but with Bitcoin.
I want to be able to bet on live money lines during a game (as they update), but I also want to be able to bet on individual plays and drives, things like: Will this drive result in (A) Touchdown (B) Turn Over (C) Field Goal. Will this throw be Complete or Incomplete, etc, etc, etc.
I've tried CloudBet, they have a "Live Sports" section but it doesn't seem to work. A game will be listed in the "Live" section, and then promptly disappear after the game starts. Even if you save the URL for that game it never updates. And I've only ever seen money lines as a bet option. CloudBet "looks" nice (decent looking UI, etc), but I have no idea how the hell you actually bet live if you really can. At this point, I'm thinking you can't, at least not for NFL games.
Betcoin never seems to have NFL at all for Live Betting, and I've only ever seen money lines.
I've looked at DirectBet and while their site is terrible from a UI perspective, the "live" betting is only money lines.
Nitrogen doesn't seem to have live betting at all.
Anonibet has live betting, tons of different types of bets, but not play-by-play, only updated things like handicap, quarters, races to points, etc.
I know there are tons of European Sports and those are common for Sportsbooks, but come on it's the NFL, and it's week 2...SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
So I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, looking in the wrong place...something? CloudBet lists the games before they start, but then I can't seem to find them afterwards, but the fact that they list them really makes me feel like they might have what I'm after...am I wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. I just want to bet some plays and waste some money!
The important parts (for CloudBet) being:
- A game will be listed in the "Live" section, and then promptly disappear after the game starts. Even if you save the URL for that game it never updates. And I've only ever seen money lines as a bet option. CloudBet "looks" nice (decent looking UI, etc), but I have no idea how the hell you actually bet live if you really can.

I will note that I've seen the type of live bet options I want for other games (Soccer), but not MLB or NFL.
Any help would be awesome!
Hi betonnfl,
Thanks for your post and thanks for your feedback.
I hear you on our live markets. We are currently completing a major overhaul of our sports betting interface, and it will be live sooner than you think. Check back then and you will be able to bet live on every NFL game. I'll keep you posted.
Our live market offering for NFL is moneylines, race to X points, per-quarter and per-half lines. The type of per-play markets you are talking about - result of a drive, for example - is something that we are working on but will need a little time.
I'll make a post when the new sportsbook is live, and you will see improvements then.
Thanks again for your input and best of luck in the book!
Cheers,
Cloudbet
