Hi Peeps and thanks for upgrading us to a B.    

Boxing isn't like Soccer, which has 3-way lines.  

In boxing if you bet on a side and the result is a DRAW, you get your money back.  The ridiculous +2900 that Cloudbet has listed is if you want to bet the DRAW, in which you would lose in the event a side wins.

Cheers!    

CBCT- With the odds that you have posted you are comparing a 2 way line to a 3 way line.
There is 2 and 3 way betting in boxing 1x2 = 3 way betting although most of the time books only use two way betting with a draw offered separately. http://www.odds1x2.com/Boxing/International/Odds/s_-alvarez-vs-erislandy-lara/

Hi CBCT. Upgrade was done a while ago.

We wouldn't have said anything about this upgrade, but since CasinoBitco.in came to advertise themselves and brag about this upgrade in our own thread, we were left with no choice but to respond.

CasinoBitco.in raises funds on Havelock Investments for their operations and as such are required to publish their earning reports.

https://www.havelockinvestments.com/reports.php

If you sum up their Sportsbook earnings since they started reporting on September 2013, you will see that they lost approx. 70 BTC to date, and that's just from bets, before you factor in operational expenses.

Perhaps Peeps Place can explain why he is upgrading a Sportsbook that lost money from bets since its inception ?

Are you feeling confident depositing Bitcoins to a Sportsbook that is losing money Huh

Did you read the report? Look at June.

Quote
Today CasinoBitco.in reports its operationsal report for June 2014.  Despite being one of the 
slower months of the year between March Madness and the start of NFL season, June was an 
exciting one for CasinoBitco.in, with excellent progress in many critical areas where we’ve 
underperformed in past months. We are proud to report revenues of 52.71 BTC across all the 
CasinoBitco.in properties.  
 
The highlight of the month has certainly been the action of the World Cup where we’ve been able 
to capitalize on our new third­party odds provider to offer excellent liquid markets with the best 
limits & vig for our players while also limiting our downside risk!

What is the difference between and what is needed to win the bet for, Germany Win both Halves.

Germany Win both Halves
@ 8,0

and

Germany To Score in Both Halves
@ 4.9.



The bet Germany Win both Halves will win if Germany will be in the lead after the first half, and also win the second half, i.e. the goal difference will increase in the second half. Peter882 just submitted an excellent example.

Germany To Score in Both Halves will win if Germany will score at least one goal in the first half and at least one goal in the second half, regardless of the result.

Can you also le tme know about this

Does it require Germany to score both halves to win this bet?


Germany Win both Halves
@ 8,0


or as long as they lead?

To win the bet, It requires Germany to literally win in both halves separately (for example, 1:0 after first half and 3:1 after 90 minutes).
On the other hand, if the score is 1:0 after first half and 2:1 after 90 minute, you lose the bet as the second half is a 1:1 draw.

Proof that bets can come in, be received while your minimum odds are still available, yet not get confirmed!!!!

You are right, your bet did not confirm due to a rounding issue on our website.

Following is an explanation as to why that happened.

This is the first time we became aware of this issue. The other bet that you complained about was not affected by it.

Our automated betting system is working with decimal odds. Our website on the other hand has an option to display odds in American format.

You ordered this bet when the odds were 1.78 decimal while viewing odds in American format.

You selected the "Negotiate Odds" betting option and by default, the minimum odds is set to the current odds.

1.78 in American is equal to -128.2051282051282. When populating the default minimum odds field, all numbers after the decimal point were discarded and so the minimum required odds were set to -128.

When your bet was received, our automated betting system converted your -128 minimum American odds back to decimal, which turned out to be 1.78125 and since this number was higher than the current odds of 1.78, your bet did not confirm.

First I'd like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. As a token for discovering it we would like to offer you a free bet at the amount of your last bet, 0.074 BTC.

Please order any bet that you like using the "Flexible Odds" betting option, e-mail us the bet ID and we will fund it with 0.074 BTC.

Second, we have fixed it and it should not occur again.

Nice edit Smiley   CasinoBitcoin has the best boxing odds and you, ourselves, and the forum know it.

Cheers!

Hi Peeps and thanks for upgrading us to a B.    

Boxing isn't like Soccer, which has 3-way lines.  

In boxing if you bet on a side and the result is a DRAW, you get your money back.  The ridiculous +2900 that Cloudbet has listed is if you want to bet the DRAW, in which you would lose in the event a side wins.

Cheers!    

CBCT- With the odds that you have posted you are comparing a 2 way line to a 3 way line.

Looks like I'm going to argue with all the books today Smiley

Hi Peeps-  We look forward to our upgrade tomorrow not that we recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary.

As far as this poster asking about this particular boxing match, here are the current odds (screen shots included)


The odds don't lie.  This is a high profile fight and your supposed #2 book doesn't even offer it, while your #1 book has the worst margins out of them all




bets for boxing? canelo vs lara this weekend
DirectBet doesn't offer anything on this fight other than the draw +1900. I have Canelo -175 at another book.

I haven't used Directbet (I usually use casinobitcoin or betcoinsports) but I've been checking up on this thread to see about using them in the future and from what I've seen DB didn't do anything wrong in regards to ts11111's bet. Isn't it well known that transfers from coinbase can be delayed? Looking at all the evidence I can't see anything that shows DB did anything wrong here, they clearly showed when the transfer was actually received which was 7 minutes later. Considering the way in which they operate (no deposits) I probably wouldn't use them for live bets but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them for betting in advance.

As far as peepsplace is concerned, I'm sorry but I just can't trust a poster from a site who solicits ad revenue from books and then rates/promotes them. Also the emails from them look suspicious as well. Why would you charge all other books 2 BTC a month yet you offered DB 1 BTC a month, something doesn't seem right.
Directbet was 1 BTC + 1% commission on volume. I realize that you don't know me from Adam but I've owned a couple of cash gambling websites, turned down lots of advertisers, taken banners down voluntarily forfeiting money when it looked like they were having problems and I paid players from my own pocket that were stiffed by BetOnSports because they had a banner up at my forum.

The BoS stiff job cost me some good coin. To my knowledge, no other forum has ever paid players that were stiffed by an advertiser.

If you have so much faith in your advertisers, will you cover any problems arising from Cloudbet, Anonibet, and Nitrogen?

And why do you post as Peeps Place if you don't run it? How are you affiliated with them?
I've been posting at peepsplace since 2003. I'm a forum junkie. I also post at other cash forums such as SBR, EOG, RX, MW.

If you have a disagreement with the ratings, then please tell me the book and why.

My disagreement is with a poster with the same name as a site who solicits ad revenue from books, looks to be bashing a book just because they decided not to place ads on that site. I've seen issues with Anonibet such as this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--672929 which is considerably more than ts11111's wager. Will peepsplace cover his winnings if Anonibet doesn't?
I understand why you think the ratings are biased and I would too. I never bashed DirectBet because they didn't pay to advertise. DirectBet went into the thread that I started for the ratings and bashed me for a week straight. I just returned volley. Almost all of what he says is untrue.
