Don't bet with these frauds.

1) Extremely poor odds for in play
2) Bookie holds all of the cards. The way the system is setup, the customer is left in limbo while bets are "pending". You can't cancel a "negotiate odds" bet while it is pending. I've had "negotiate odds" bets show as pending for over a minute, even while my minimum odds are still available, and then have the bet show up as "negotiate" while the bookie sees what happens in the match and lowers the odds.

There are some pros...
1) fast payouts
2) pre-match odds are decent. Not the best, but decent.

When will I receive payout? http://www.directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=1G9pY4KPPJtqM2FYjBnW5t3kFmRJpL7KjU

I used to receive a payout in 10 minutes after the contest ended. It is 2.5 hours now.

Your bet has now been settled. These special bets may sometimes take a little bit longer than usual to settle.

We would like to compensate you with a free 0.01 BTC bet for the delay.

Please order any bet that you like and message me the bet ID. I will fund it with your free bet.

Why are you guys bitching so much? I think that you made bets without reading the rules. Of course you have to understand how it works before you start betting.

In my opinion, Directbet is right.

I'm not arguing rules. I clearly understand the difference between flexible and negotiate odds.

DB was offering 5.6 on Fischer. I submitted a Negotiate bet (with min odds at 5.6) on Fischer. They received it while it was still open for betting at 5.6. Odds had not changed.

Problem for you is that the odds did change by the time the transaction was received. They were lower than your minimum 5.6 odds.
Since the odds offered at the time the transaction was received did not meet your standards, you had your coins refunded.
Pretty straight forward.

You are missing it. Bet said PENDING and will be confirmed shortly. During this time, I refreshed the odds 3 times in a different tab and they remained the same....5.6. My bet should have been confirmed INSTANTLY upon receipt.

DB, I placed bets on your site last night because I was hedging bets I had placed on other sites, and unfortunately your shitty site was my only out.

This should really be a self-moderated thread.
All these butthurt people are coming here and raging , stopping any constructive discussion.

they are a bookie, but the odds are highly juiced during live betting, making the bookie tons of $ when either side wins. smart for the bookie yes, customer satisfaction no.

All bookies have odds helping them...
This site may have slightly worse odds in some cases , but they have better odds for other matches too.

The customers complaining here mostly have a problem with the delays in the blockchain. They should really know that before betting, or contact via support channels rather than derailing the thread.

Currently 0.5 LTC = 0.005875 BTC
and
10,000 doge = 0.0035 BTC

This makes it way easier for someone using alt-coins to get the reward,

You are right. The Bitcoin value of Litecoins and Dogecoins fell sharply recently.

We don't think it would be fair to increase the minimum bet size during the contest, but we will update it for the next contest.

So if you're betting with Litecoins or Dogecoins, you can bet less and win more !

Would a 10,000 Doge bet count for this contest?

Yes, to qualify for the prize, your bet stake must be at least 0.01 BTC, 0.5 LTC or 10,000 DOGE on any event that starts after the start time of the previous winning bet's event.

For the rescue challenge, in order to reset the odds, your winning bet needs to be from any event that started after the rescue challenge announcement.

Currently 0.5 LTC = 0.005875 BTC
and
10,000 doge = 0.0035 BTC

This makes it way easier for someone using alt-coins to get the reward,

You should consider either making 0.005 BTC minimum or raising the minimum for doge to 30,000 and LTC to 1.0
I'd prefer the former , because I rarely make bets over 0.005 BTC

Odds were 5.6 when it arrived. You tried to tell me that the odds never reached 5.6, but then backed off that stance when you saw I had proof. You waited to confirm my bet until Fischer completed the break. Then you dropped the odds to 2.8. Of course I canceled it then!

You misquoted me by quoting just part of the e-mail that I sent you.

Had you quoted the entire e-mail, it would have been clear that I meant the odds never reached your minimum required odds of 5.6 after your transfer was received.

May I please ask why you keep betting on our website, if you truly believe that we are treating you unfairly ?

You placed bets on our website today, and won. Congratulations !
