I understand that some of the problems with bets being held aren't your fault most of the time even if unfair to the player, but there are many mistakes in the rules that you may want to change.

DirectBet rules

Quote

If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and an official result is not declared within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void, except for those which have been unconditionally determined.

Look at MLB official rule book, rule 4.12
It is possible for games to begin, be suspended and resumed at a later date (all stats remain).

For wagering purposes all bets are settled the same. Vegas and offshore all settle same day.

I'd love to get back to Vegas.
Not even to gamble, just go with a few buddies and not have to deal with clients or work for a week or so.
What a dream...

I don't know how you can totally hate on or bash Directbet frankly...see they don't even have deposits there so if they "closed down" they wouldn't be "running away with bitcoin" like so many others have.

I could be wrong but it's my feeling that they will run with the money during the Super Bowl. Players will have a lot of money tied up in props and live wagering. Bitcoinlivebets did it after the World Cup. The link in my signature talks about books running after the World Cup and Super Bowl.

As far as a rating, do you thing it's justifiable for DirectBet to have a high rating? Input is needed for all of the books. I never bash a person's opinion as long as they don't throw out false allegations. Thanks

That's not a mistake. Our standard rule for all bets is 3 days. If however we receive confirmation earlier that the match will not be resumed \ replayed we will void bets and issue refunds to our clients immediately.

Single game bets do not carry over in baseball during the regular season. You can't hold the money 3 days. No one else does.

Hey guys, I think we finally figured out the mysterious criteria Peeps Place is using to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks.

Rating is based on the monthly payment he is receiving from the books :

A lot
Bitcoin or two
Change at most
Don't Pay
Failed to pay and now it's too late !

That makes sense. Looking at Peeps posts, it's like he's also getting paid to bash books that don't pay.

Like their lines or not, DirectBet is the best for live betting. No other book that offers all the betting options they do... sometimes the odds are not great but I've gotten a couple good ones before.

Please post the books that I bash. The books that I've bashed have all gone under. The only book that I currently bash is DirectBet. If you question the ratings, then it's appreciated why they are questioned. Poster input warrants changes and I take all input seriously. Do you feel any changes should be made?

"A" rated books
Anonibet A (2011)

"B"rated books
NitrogenSports B+ (2012)

We don't criticize good books. We've done a good job at calling out scam books. Those called out go under. DirectBet has been predicted to be the next in line to go under. Here are quotes for those that went under.

Quote

Quote
The only thing keeping StakeBTC from being a "F", because of that bonus, is that they haven't had one complaint as far as payouts.

Quote
I think that bitcoinlivebets is at the top of the list of the next book to go under although I hope it's not the case.

Quote
I'm not going to put Coinbet on our recommended list at this time.

Quote
BitBook C (Problems from DDoS attack. Do not deposit at this time

The only reason that I'm posting here is for the constant stalking done by DirectBet. He's been in EVERY thread that I post.

Peeps, all you do is complain. If you would keep all your comments to one post that would be appreciated!
If you don't like the lines bet somewhere else, it's a free market!

I agree. Everytime I see his name... His post is almost always something negative. Look through his 196 posts... a good portion of them are talking trash on sites that don't pay to advertise with him.
Take his 'advice' with a grain of salt.

A game being postponed has nothing to do with ML wagers as long as it goes 5 innings, 4.5 if the home team is ahead. It only pertains to the total and run line. Games are settled that day for wagering purposes. They aren't prolonged 3 days. The rules in playoff MLB differ book to book, but not the regular season.

I understand that some of the problems with bets being held aren't your fault most of the time even if unfair to the player, but there are many mistakes in the rules that you may want to change.

I second the idea of live spread betting for MLB. In the US, MLB is the only major sport going on right now. I know a lot of "live" betting sites have live spread betting and I know Directbet wants to be considered a "live" betting site so I'd definitely use those if they were available.

I was just getting on Anonibet to add live MLB too so we'll see who acts first.

Hey any chance that you might consider adding spreads to the MLB games where you offer live betting? Or just spreads overall seems like only RL is offered now.

Thanks for your suggestion.

We do offer spreads before the game but not very often during the game.

We will look into increasing coverage in the future.

Lines still have a long ways to go. Det/NYY RL right now prior to the first pitch -370/162. It's by far the worst odds of any sports book and you have the least amount of betting options. You should look at other books and the offers that they are making instead of cloning limited lines and adding lots of juice.

edit- Just saw that Cin/Cle RL is -476/+245. This is before the game starts. There should be a law against this type of hold.

Yikes. SF/Mets the live betting total over -666/+215 under. With the lines that you are putting out the NVL is- 273 and you have -666. Guess the theoretical hold on that line?
