Well I was replying to Mahdirakib and we were talking about betting on the BTC price range on Freebitco.in actually. We were not talking about sport bets and I don't know any other sportsbook offering bets on the BTC price range, so I don't understand how we could do arbitrages with other sportsbooks. In fact forecasting BTC and other cryptocurrencies price is extremely hard because of the volatile nature of crypto assets, that's why bookmakers are not able to calculate odds for that and only parimutuel betting sportsbooks like freebitco.in can offer markets for this kind of bets.
Betting on btc price range forecasts? How is it possible?
Are there some price tiers with specified odds which change frequently based on the bets each tier gets? Or they are fixed by the website? I didn't go to freebitcoin since years now as the faucet value is nothing because of the price of btc, but if the prizes are big to predict btc price, I guess will need to begin playing there.
Yes that's exactly how it works, odds are not fixed by the website or by an odds provider, but they are calculated from the amounts bet on each price range previously defined by the website, so odds currently appearing on the page are not the final odds that will be used for the payouts at the end but just stand for an indication of it. Hence it means you have to guess the right outcome but you also need to guess what will be the final odds for this outcome.
^^Those were my bets on BITCOIN PRICE - MAY, and to illustrate how odds can change with time here's the final odds:
A huge drop from 263.46 to 56.80 for the "$20,001 - $25,000" range. And for the "$25,001 - $30,000" range the drop is also significant:
It almost looks like people have ignored my warning
~(Warning: don't follow me, I lost all my bets for BTC price March and April).
and placed their bets on those ranges anyway
(I'm just kidding, I know it was hardly the case).
Now that only 4 days left, I think I'm gonna lose my bets this time again. The good part is that I had my fun, and if I lose I lose only 3k sats. I can survive that.
