You don't get an immediate confirmation if there is some type of delay with your wallet, the blockchain or DirectBet. It recently happened to me with a 7 minute wait. It happened to others too. This doesn't happen with any other book.

You can still get immediate confirmation. You have two options :

1) Use the official Bitcoin Core client instead of a 3rd party wallet. You will not encounter these delays when using the official wallet. Your bet will arrive and confirm instantly.

2) Make an advanced deposit first just like you do with other deposit books by using "Negotiate Odds" and setting the odds to 1000 decimal (unrealistic odds so that your bet will never confirm), then once your transfer is arrived you can get it confirmed instantly at the current odds whenever you like or withdraw it.
Your wallet just had a 3 minute delay with a player. The wallet that we use may not be good enough. Your book is great for players that are unfunded elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend betting a substantial amount of money because of your software flaws.

Directbet- Firm odds and negotiable odds aren't equivalent as you are saying.

If you select "Negotiate Odds" and set the minimum required odds to the current quoted odds, it is equivalent to "Firm Odds" and your bet will be confirmed at the current quoted odds or better, just like "Firm Odds" does.

The only difference is that if by the time your transfer is received the odds reduces, "Firm Odds" will reject your bet immediately while "Negotiate Odds" will give you an option whether to cancel the bet or accept lower odds.

You are the only book that can't guarantee an immediate confirmation. Bets may stay up for hours without the possibility of us canceling.

That's not true. You can deposit first and get immediate confirmation just like you can in a regular deposit book.

I'm afraid you did not understand how to do it. Please read it again and let me know if you need further clarifications :

Directbet- Firm odds and negotiable odds aren't equivalent as you are saying. Firm odds is how most sportsbooks work. Negotiable is the same as putting up an offer on an exchange. If I want negotiable odds then I'll go to an exchange where the hold is lower.

I don't want to guess on the odds that I'm getting or leave a bet up. The game changes and the odds should change along with it. Firm odds are the best with immediate confirmation or rejection. You are the only book that can't guarantee an immediate confirmation. Bets may stay up for hours without the possibility of us canceling.

We took your banner down that was paying 1% and you got mad.

It all started when I went over the list of your ratings criteria, one by one, and proved that in each and every category we are as good or better than Anonibet, your top rated Bitcoin Sportsbook.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6137493

And so I honestly asked you why did you rate us lower ?

Just a few hours later you "suddenly" changed the ratings criteria !!! so that Anonibet can be the only Bitcoin Sportsbook with a rating of A and they were also granted the max possible rating of A, on top of all other books. Our rating on the other hand was reduced to C.

That is when it became obvious that your ratings guide is a disguised paid advertisement for Anonibet.

As far as I know firm bets cannot be canceled.

My suggestion on how your delayed bet transfers can be canceled is also applicable to those of you who are using the 'Firm Odds' betting option because selecting 'Negotiate Odds' and setting the minimum odds to the current odds is equivalent to selecting the 'Firm Odds' option. The only difference is that you will have an option to cancel the bet when your transfer arrives.

DirectBet- You got mad because we took your banner down and then you started a smear campaign.

While not depositing has it's advantages, there are also downfalls. If there is any type of delay between the time money is sent and the time it hits DirectBet, the bet will remain open without the possibility of canceling the bet.

That's another false statement from Peeps Place.

As I've already explained to you in a previous post, you can cancel a bet in the rare event where the transfer is delayed and you are no longer interested in it.

This is how books are rated:

If we feel that a book is a top book, then we ask them to advertise. It only makes sense to have the top books as advertisers.

You are acknowledging here that we are a top book, because you did beg several times that we will advertise on your website.

Here is the proof :


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7714802

It was only after we turned off your hustling attempts that you started discrediting us publicly.
lies.
1. We took your banner down that was paying 1% and you got mad. We didn't want your money any longer because of your problems.
2. As far as I know firm bets cannot be canceled. Mine sat and I couldn't do a thing about it.

Reagan is the owner at peepsplace.com that puts up the banners. Reagan is not going to ruin his reputation putting up a banner of a bad book. Peepsplace opened in 2003.

Books rated "A" and "B" are recommended. There are some "C+" books that are recommended but since they have not been in business for one year, their rating is capped at "C+".

My personal opinion of DirectBet is a "D". Poster backing of DirectBet bumped that to "C".

I'm not pushing for a downgrade since forum opinion is the driving force for the the ratings.

That's another lie from Peeps Place, but unlike him, we are not just saying "you lie"... we prove it !

Today we are going to present you with another new evidence why Peeps Place is a scam.


But first we would like to make it clear that we NEVER reveal information on our clients in public, unless they go public first and spread FALSE information on DirectBet, as Peeps Place is doing.

A couple of months ago we revealed and proved for the first time that Peeps is getting paid by his top rated Sportbooks to promote them in forums.

Immediately afterwards, Peeps got upset and downgraded us from C to D in his forum (see capture below).

This is another evidence that his ratings guide is not "By the players, for the players", as Peeps is claiming, but rather "By Peeps, for the guys that pay him".

Also notice that Peeps Place, "the gold standard when it comes to rating bitcoin sportsbooks", is advising his followers in regards to DirectBet that "I wouldn't play at this shop".

What he forgot to tell them is that during the following month, he was betting frequently at DirectBet, to the point where he earned a VIP reward, a bonus that is reserved to our most loyal clients !

Peeps is lying to his own crowd !!!

Do you think that Peeps Place has the creditability to rate Bitcoin Sportbooks, given that those he rates the highest are paying him to advertise and promote them ?
