DirectBet, could you please post proof that ragernation is made both bets? I took a look at both transactions and the addresses associated. The double spent one double spends it to BTC-e, which could be used to mix the coins for the second bet, but I didn't find any solid evidence. There were inputs that came from inputs from NitrogenSports for the 9 BTC bet, which could indicate more coin mixing, and ones that came from an exchange/Xapo, but I failed to find a solid link between the two.
Unrelated to the ragernation matter: Thanks for refunding my bets that I made in error because I was confused. No other bitcoin books do that, so I'm glad I made this mistake at directbet. (0.8BTC refunded)
That is because there is none. They are just stalling to hope people dont see what is actually going on. Going back through their forum to just JUNE 6th there are over a dozen posts of people who didnt get paid out automatically for one reason or another.

Directbet clearly has a habbit of halting transactions and making people come claim them.
My gut says they are just taking a historical double spend transaction and claiming it to be theres. Another user pointed out directbet could sign a message proving ownership. Great, but they havent done that in over a week and for a game company would probably be easy, no?
IF it is theres, they could easily of created that transaction themselves and in doing so laying out the perfect selective scam. Wait for the right transaction/ to make it look funny to build support. Could explain why so many people's transactions are held up. Nobody would know the wiser. Or they did take a loss, and are falsely blaming me. In no way was my transaction fraud because it had a fee!
I know that was not my transaction that you claim is a previous doublespend and you have stolen 9.04 btc from me that was sent over 2 weeks ago.
