i can also recommend Electrum wallet for fast and easy confirmations.
and always include a transaction fee because this results in a higher priority of your transaction -> it is broadcasted faster to the blockchain

DirectBet- Your rules allow for a 3 hour delay then you can tell us after the game if a bet is good or not. Your program and rules are flawed if you can't tell us within 1 minute if a bet is good. Deposit books tell us immediately.

DirectBet is lying here too. I place an order at 17:45. I received a bitcoin address and sent the money at 17:45. DirectBet acknowledged that I sent it at 17:45.  Now he is saying that he didn't know. He accepted it 7 minutes later. There is no reason for us to wait 7 minutes before knowing if DirectBet is going to accept the bet.

You sent your bet transfer on 17:45 through the Bitcoin web wallet http://blockchain.info/

However, Blockchain.info did not broadcast your transfer right away. They delayed it by 7 minutes. This was not our fault, you may want to contact them and ask them why they did not broadcast your bet transfer right away.

Here is a proof from a 3rd party block chain explorer that your bet transfer was broadcasted on 17:52 :

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

When your transfer finally arrived at 17:52, we processed and confirmed it immediately.

Your bet was processed and confirmed according to our rules and therefore it will stand. Had your bet won, it would have paid out automatically at the completion of the game.

Following is the relevant information from our Rules page :

Quote
If your bet transfer is delayed by the Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin network or by your wallet or for any other reason, it will be processed as soon as it is received.

For time sensitive bets and for fastest instant Bitcoin delivery, use the official Bitcoin Core client or its lighter version Multibit.

These wallets can be downloaded from https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

You will not have these delays when using the official wallet.

What a joke! This place is all sorts of f'd up. The problem for us is that they hold all of the cards. There is no transparency. The system is inherently flawed. They owe you AND me.
agree. Betting with the deposit books is much easier and safer.

You say it was never at 5.6, but I ordered it and it automatically populated the current odds of 5.6

Check my screenshot - I have never ordered a bet and typed in 5.6 as my desired odds.

Even after you received the bet, it showed as "pending" and "open for additional betting". Message said "bet will be confirmed shortly", so I checked the odds and sure enough they were at 5.6. Yet still not confirmed. Why wasn't that automatic? You sat there and allowed Fischer to complete the break and then dropped the odds to 2.8. Then, and only then, did my bet go from "pending" to "negotiate".

Secondly, to test my hypothesis that you copy lines from Cloudbet and Bet365 - I checked the Cubs/Nationals odds today in the 5th inning and sure enough, your lines were identical to Cloudbet.

We do not confirm bets manually. All bets are processed automatically by our automated betting system.

We do not copy lines from Cloudbet or Bet365. Please stop spreading false information.

You are right, when you ordered the bet, the odds were 5.6.

By the time your bet transfer was received, the odds were reduced to 4.6 due to developments in the game. During in-play, odds might fluctuate widely.

You had an option to lower the minimum required odds and get your bet confirmed but you elected to cancel the bet.

Per your request, your bet was then canceled and refunded and therefore no payout is due.

LIES!!!!

Per your  email from last night:

"The odds never reached 5.6. 4.6 was the highest until you canceled the bet.
It's possible that you didn't refresh the page and saw outdated odds."

You get an instant notification when your bet is rejected and it is then refunded after there is 1 confirmation in the Bitcoin network for your initial bet transfer.

So while the refund is transferred a few minutes later, you know right away whether your bet was confirmed or not.

I'm sorry that your bet arrived in a few minutes delay and hope that you will understand that this was not our fault.

Your wallet provider delayed the broadcasting of your bet transfer as I've showed you in my previous post.

We process bets as soon as they are received. We have no way to tell whether your transfer arrived in a delay or whether you intentionally wanted to send it some time after you ordered the bet on our website.

In the future, if you decide to bet at DirectBet again, we recommend that for time sensitive bets and for fastest instant Bitcoin delivery, you use the official Bitcoin Core client or its lighter version Multibit.

You already said that you used 'Firm Odds' and that by the time that the transaction went through the odds no longer met the minimum, thus the bet was refunded.
Seems pretty straight forward.

They are middle men. They get their odds from Cloudbet & Bet365

That's not true.

Quote
They confirm bets when it is advantageous to them. They have all the power and control. When they see a bet come in, they can confirm it at whatever odds they want (if flexible odds selected).

When you use the "Flexible Odds" betting option we confirm your bet at the current available odds. As soon as we receive your bet transfer, we immediately make a single inquiry to the current odds, and these odds are set as the confirmed odds for the bet. Most of the times, if you send out the bet immediately, the odds will be the same as they were by the time you ordered the bet, but in other times the odds might be higher or lower.

What you are claiming here is not true. If you like, I can show you dozens of your bets where the confirmed odds were much higher than the odds were at the time that you ordered the bet. This will demonstrate to you that we confirm bets in a fairly manner.

We are very surprised by your claim. We explained to you in the past via e-mail how we confirm bets and you kept betting frequently on our website ever since then.
To us, that's an indication that our automated betting system has treated your fairly.

You are blatantly lying to justify not confirming my Fischer bet at 5.6.

You say it was never at 5.6, but I ordered it and it automatically populated the current odds of 5.6

Check my screenshot - I have never ordered a bet and typed in 5.6 as my desired odds.

I ordered the bet at by selecting "negotiate" at the default current odds, which were 5.6

I NEVER typed in 5.6, which is what the picture illustrates. The bet was received, and showed as pending while the odds were still 5.6 (I checked, and hit refresh 3 times). Directbet then drastically lowered the odds to 2.8. My bet should have been confirmed instantly.

Directbet is trying to say that I set the odds at 5.6. They were ALREADY THERE!
If you make a negotiate bet, a certain odd is automatically filled in. If you don't change that odd, your bet will be confirmed at that filled in odd.

My guess is that the 5.6 automatically was filled in.

That's what I'm trying to convey. 5.6 was automatically filled in. DB said 5.6 was never available, and I called bullshit. They are lying.
