We never failed to pay a winning bet, but here, there is no bet to pay !

You canceled this bet !! Then after it turned out to be winner you are coming here to the forums and asking that we pay you for a bet that does not exists ?

You sent us your bet on 16:58 and set the minimum required odds to 5.6 :

Your bet did not confirm when it arrived because the odds were lower than 5.6. You then decided to cancel the bet on 16:59.

Your bet was then canceled per your request and refunded after there was 1 confirmation in the Bitcoin network for your initial bet transfer, on 17:08 :

Here is the refund transaction :

We never failed to pay a winning bet. There is no bet to pay here though. It was canceled by you and refunded about an hour before the game ended :

wow you're being absolutely ridiculous, there's no way a proper bookie would refund you either, they would most likely close your account and send you a fuck off letter. You should try to understand how their site works before fully betting with your heavy selections. They have assumed many mistakes in the past and have done lots of things in favor of the customers but now you're just plain wrong so stop filling this thread with your silly posts.

Pay me! You still haven't acknowledged this!

We don't hold bets and we never did.

It is the web wallet provider who held the transfer for 7 minutes.

I submitted evidence to support this :

The same goes for me. Directbet is the new Pinocchio. Pay ts.

I may be your biggest player but I'm not letting you hold my BTC7 for half an hour until you decide bet. My BTC now goes to books with instant confirmations.

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

Here's a reason not to play there........

DO NOT PLAY HERE if you can access ANY OTHER SITE with live betting. If you are betting with bitcoin, CHECK CLOUDBET FIRST.....they have better odds for live events.

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

I'm arguing execution.

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. My bet should have been confirmed INSTANTLY. Instead, it sat PENDING for over a minute. During this time, I refreshed the odds and they were sitll available at 5.6. As soon as Fischer completed the break, the odds dropped to 2.8, and my bet status changed from PENDING to NEGOTIATE.

DB comes back and says the odds were never at 5.6. Untrue - and I showed proof. Then they acknowledge the odds were at 5.6, but my bet was received when the odds were at 4.6.

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.

Sometimes I use coinbase, but surprisingly I acknowledged your suggestion and DID switch to the core client.....and included txn fees......and still came up with the same issues. I will tell you that they didn't happen quite as often, which was nice. But still happened nonetheless.

Please credit my account with the .59 from the Fischer bet.

That's because you are using the Coinbase wallet, which frequently delays Bitcoin transfers.

We advised you several times to use the official Bitcoin Core client since you are placing time sensitive bets in-play.

Unfortunately, you ignored our suggestions and kept using the Coinbase wallet.

Yes you can, start taking Quark which is alot faster :-)

The time stamp that you are quoting, 17:45, is from your wallet BlockChain.info. This is the time that you asked your wallet to transfer the Bitcoin, but it was broadcasted to the Bitcoin network 7 minutes later on 17:52.

The reason why you see 17:45 on bloackchain.info is because the transfer was initiated from there (it is your wallet), as is indicated by "Relayed by IP : Blockchain.info".

To find the actual time in which your transfer was broadcasted to the Bitcoin network, look at a 3rd party block chain explorer other than your wallet :

https://www.biteasy.com/blockchain/transactions/f33f82da7e486509b45ab23b965b5ae789c5ae64cf1a08230249235562420fdc

As you can see, the transfer was delivered on 17:52. Apparently, Blockchain.info was clogged and delayed broadcasting your transfer.
This is further evident by the screen shot that I submitted in my earlier post which shows the time stamp in our wallet.


We don't hold bets under any circumstances. They are processed as soon as they are received and you can verify that using time stamps from the block chain.

Even if we wanted to hold bets as you claim, which we certainly don't, we wouldn't have gained any advantage by doing so. That's because your bets are always confirmed at the best available odds upon receipt, which reflects the true probability of the bet outcome.

To give an example from your case, when you ordered the bet on our website on 17:45, the odds were 3.3. When your bet transfer arrived 7 minutes later, the bet odds went up to 5.5 to reflect what was happening in the game, and your bet was confirmed at odds of 5.5.

For us, it doesn't matter if we confirm your bet at odds of 3.3 on 17:45, or at odds of 5.5 on 17:52. Our expected profit is the same in both cases. If at all, we prefer to confirm bets as quickly as possible to keep our clients satisfied, but sometimes (although rarely), Bitcoin transfers are delayed and there isn't much we can do about it.

Peeps - you have a site that rates bitcoin betting sites, right? We need more people to know about our problems unless DB steps in to make it right for us. You can post on your site, and I can post this across twitter, facebook and every single bitcoin/gambling forum on the net. Repeatedly.

Peeps - you can't imagine how many times this has happened to me

I showed you multiple times that you received the bet at 17:45, not 17:52.

Your post above says that DirectBet can wait until 1 minute before an event concludes to accept or reject even if the bet was placed an hour ago. You don't see the flaw? You are shot taking.

Bull. Yesterday mine set as "bet received - pending" and "open for additional betting" for over a minute. You waited for Fischer to break, and then my bet went to "negotiate".

No Peeps, we tell you immediately, within a few seconds, whether your bet is accepted or rejected.

If your bet transfer is received after the event is already over, it will get rejected and refunded.

The problem with your bet was that your wallet did not send the transfer right away. It held it for 7 minutes, during which we had no way to tell that you sent in your bet.
