So if I were to bet on a game that was 2.12, would I win 212% + my bet back? Say if I bet 2 BTC would I get around 6.2 BTC back?

no you would get 4.24 BTC back (+112 %)

How long does it take for you to receive your bet back? It's been about 15 mins and I haven't gotten anything back yet.

Payouts are issued as soon as there is 1 confirmation in the network for your initial bet transfer.

If you need further help please PM me the bet ID. Thanks.

In Baseball when it says Under/Over 10.5 runs does that mean both teams combined or each individual team?

Both teams combined.

I have never received one Satoshi from your bonus program, nor do I ever expect to.

You need to earn at least 10,000 loyalty points during the month to earn a VIP reward.

If you see that you are short of some points toward the end of the month, you can use our new provably fair Direct Dice to pump up your points and get the reward.

This will be profitable for you because Direct Dice features extremely low house edge to no house edge, depends on your VIP level.

For example, lets say that you have 80,000 loyalty points and you need 20,000 more to get 0.75 BTC reward.

You can bet with the Direct Dice with virtually no house edge to get those 20,000 loyalty points and unlock the 0.75 BTC reward, plus during the process you will be freerolling on the 10 BTC Jackpot !

The odds have changed everywhere and the player is getting odds that are much worse than market price.

What you are saying is true when you bet in a betting exchange, but not when you use our Negotiated Odds feature.

It's not the same thing. You should give it a try once and see for yourself.

This is one of the advantages our Negotiated Odds feature has over a betting exchange.

Here is a relevant example :

Suppose you place a bet in-play in a betting exchange and ask for odds of 2 when the market price is 1.90.

A few seconds later, something changes in the game and the market price goes up to 2.5

Your unmatched bet on the exchange will be filled at odds of 2, the odds that you requested. As a result, you are getting a bet at a much worse price than the market price.

Now take that example and apply it to the unique Negotiated Odds feature that DirectBet provides.

In this case, your bet will be confirmed at odds of 2.5, even though you asked for odds of 2 !

That's because we have designed the Negotiated Odds feature to be extremely favorable to our players.

I don't know of any other book in the world that offers such a unique and favorable feature for its players.


If you do get better odds it's that there has been a change in the game that's in favor of DirectBet.

Your bet might confirm at higher odds even when there is no significant change in the game.

There can be various reasons for that, for example, odds might be temporarily reduced in-play when they are not reliable and later on go back up once the lines are established. The Negotiate Odds feature allows you to capitalize on that and take the higher odds automatically.

If something happens during the game and as a result you are no longer interested in the bet, you can cancel it. Before confirming your negotiated bet in-play, our automated betting system first check to see if you requested a cancelation and if so your bet will not confirm.

If you did not request a cancelation, your bet will be confirmed at the best available odds to reflect the situation in the game. This will often be at higher odds than the minimum specified.

I should add that I've never Live bet on the site.

If you place your bets before the start of the game you should rarely encounter a rejection.

Please PM me your rejected bet IDs, I'd like to look into it.

You say that you get 80% rejections. Something is not right. I'd really appreciate if you can send me the bet IDs.

If you had a deposit feature, I'd be able to get in more bets. It's frustrating to lose so many.

You can use the Negotiate Odds feature to first deposit the bet and then get it confirmed immediately.

This is explained in more details here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7708830

Although you don't really need to do that pre-game. It's mainly useful in-play when you are not sure whether your bet transfer will be sent out immediately.

'Negotiate Odds' is a great feature for advanced users. It provides you with better control over your bets and if you are willing to spend some time it can be used to obtain higher odds for your bets, on average.

In regards to your comments I'd like to point out that if your bet did not confirm and you want to put it on hold you can simply set the minimum odds to an unrealistic number. This will prevent you from ending up with double bets.

Also note that if the line moves back and as a result your bet is confirmed, the confirmed odds are set to the best available odds at the time, which in many cases would be higher than the minimum odds that you specified.

The Negotiate Odds also allows you to lock in better odds even if they get there for just a short period of time, something that you might not be able to do manually.


 Untrue and misleading. If you do get better odds it's that there has been a change in the game that's in favor of DirectBet. The odds have changed everywhere and the player is getting odds that are much worse than market price.

If I were going to bet on the Mariners vs. Boston baseball game and I chose the Mariners, does the @1.92 mean that I would win 192% of my bet back. And if I were to bet on the other thing that wasn't the money and it says SEA -1.5 @ 2.44 would that mean I win 244% of my bet back? Can someone explain this to me please?

If you bet $1 @ 1.92 then you would get $1.92 back so you would win $.92
If you bet $1 @ 2.44 then you would get $2.44 back so you would win $1.44

If you are more familiar with American odds, then you can switch. On the bottom right above where is says bitcoin, click decimal and it will switch to American odds.

I'm not very familiar with either one. The SEA -1.5 @ 2.44 is in a different category than the money line. So the money line is just whoever wins you get that amount back?
Sea would have to win by 2 runs or more for you to win. Then betting $1 would win you $1.44.

What sports do you bet at DirectBet? I've never seen the best price, or even close, in any American market. The loss on a push nullifies all plays on quarters and halves. It occurs approximately 6% of the time.

Why the back track on negotiate odds? You already posted the pitfalls.

To be clear - Unlike Peeps, I like many things about DirectBet. It's the btc book I use 2nd most (although a lot less than the 1st  I use).

If you had a deposit feature, I'd be able to get in more bets. It's frustrating to lose so many.

Perhaps "Negotiate Odds" helps other customers who approach things differently.

Perhaps also the Bonus program benefits other customers. I only mention it because you always point it out if someone says your odds are low on something, and wanted to point out that for me at least it does not help lower the price.


I'd also like to mention that unlike Peeps and some others, once I send a bet, it is always either Confirmed or Rejected rapidly.

I've never had a problem regarding this.

DirectBet- You should listen to Harib. He knows what he's talking about. Even your push rules where you refuse to refund bets benefits DirectBet.
