Although I wish the betslip showed "Possible Winnings" based on the wager amount and the odds.  

this sounds like a very nice idea. Especially when you do 6 or 7 bet parlays this would be a helpful feature in order to
determine the right betsize (many users like to rather win 10 BTC instead of 9.867 BTC  Grin )

I´m also quite sure that this could be programmed without much effort.

Our bet slips do not require you to enter an amount. The bet amount is determined by how much you send to the designated address.

So do you want us to display how much you are expected to win after we receive your transfer ? It's basically the received amount multiplied by the bet decimal odds. Is that what you're looking for ?

Or perhaps you are looking for a calculator that will tell you how much you need to send to win a particular amount, i.e. how much to bet to win 10 BTC, before you send your bet ?

I like the idea of "possible profit" after the transfer. I can do the math myself but if you have multiple bets and you're looking to parlay it would make things easier especially if you're doing a last minute wager. The idea of "Bet x to Win X" is ok too, I think that will get you more noobs to make wagers. I say noobs as in the people who aren't familiar with sports betting and want a clear cut example of risk/reward.

I'm cool with just seeing the possible profit on the ticket after the transfer. Smiley

I am recently dissapointed with your odds. They used to be higer on average at least for horses, however I am not going to bet anymore with you. Sorry and good luck.

We compare our odds to the industry average on a regular basis and find them to be very competitive.

I'd appreciate if you can PM me bets where you believe our odds are bad or wrong and we will investigate it. In your e-mail, please let us know where you were able to find the same bet(s) at significantly better odds.

We offer many bets at the highest odds, but for some bets, odds might be reduced if they are not reliable. Generally, you will be able to find better odds as we get closer to the event start time as odds are more reliable at that time. Odds might also reduce when there is a heavy betting on a particular selection.

When comparing our odds, please note of the following :

  • We offer the most rewarding VIP program in the industry, where you can earn up to 10 BTC in bonuses every month, so essentially, if you bet frequently, the odds that you are getting are much higher than the quoted odds. In addition, those who bet frequently earn additional bonuses from various other promotions that we run, such as our regular sports betting contests.
  • Other cryptocurrency Sportbooks might offer slightly higher odds, but will limit your action to micro stakes. We do not impose ridiculously low maximum bet sizes. The max bet amount is directly related to the odds provided.
  • We have introduced a new feature that allows you to negotiate the odds and you can use it to obtain better odds for your bets. We have implemented this feature for the advantage of those of you who want better odds and it is especially useful when the odds are not yet established.

That being said, we have several big winners here and if you shop around you will find some great betting opportunities and unique bets that are not available in other cryptocurrency Sportbooks.

Not sure if it matters, but I thought I'd just drop in and say I've made a few wagers on the site and I absolutely love it.
Although I wish the betslip showed "Possible Winnings" based on the wager amount and the odds.  It's not a huge deal but would still be nice.

Other then that, support has been awesome. The site worked like a charm, Payouts were super fast and on time. The site is easy to use and I can get around pretty quick.
I've tried some other sites but I can't find any that compare.

So keep doin what you do! Thanks!

Been waiting 45 minutes for MLB Brewers bet to be graded.

I wanted to put the winnings on the Diamondbacks @ 2.06 first 5 innings. I queued up the bet, but no funds to place it with since Directbet is holding my winnings. Not happy.


Your bet has been settled and paid out automatically about 50 minutes after the completion of the event.

I apology if this game took a little bit more than usual to grade. We settle bets within an hour of the event completion. Most bets settle within minutes but it may sometimes take an hour (although rarely) so please take that into consideration when queuing up bets.

Congratulations on your win !

Hi DirectBet,

I am unable to PM you, but just used the contact form on your site and included my payout address in the email for you to investigate the "pending" issue. This happened to me on a few different bets, and one was pending for 2-3 minutes I'm sure.

Toto bets essentially are accumulator bets, like on other sites. If I'm betting a toto bet my payout at the end should be greater than simply the odds combined.


Thanks.

I looked at your recent bets and according to our records they were all confirmed within a few seconds of the time they were received (except those that were negotiated).

Have you refreshed the Bet Status page every few seconds by clicking on the "Refresh Bet Status" button ?

Your bets were confirmed swiftly as far as our automated betting system is concerned. Perhaps it took some extra time until it was reflected on our website. If it happens again, can you please e-mail us the bet ID ?

As for the Toto, the odds of each bet is multiplied. For example, lets say that you add 3 bets to your Toto slip :

Bet # 1 Odds = 2
Bet # 2 Odds = 3
Bet # 3 Odds = 4

Your Toto ~ Parlay odds would be 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 (odds are in decimal)

As you can see, the odds are much greater than the odds of all individual bets combined.

Odds for many games are not correct btw, you only have to look at a site like oddschecker.com to see the differences in your odds from the odds of other sites.

4. Deposits are quite slow. And why do you put bets into pending for so long? Like, I deposit to place a bet, you receive it, and it shows as 'pending' everytime for at least 2 minutes, even though there are no price changes happening in the event at all. This caused me to lose some coins with payouts.

That is weird. My bets are usually confirmed within 10 seconds after sending. Maybe you did not refresh the page?
