HOLY SHIT THERE'S ALOT OF TALK IN HERE!
welp looks like san fran game got postponed which cancels the bet. At least that is how it works at sports books so i would assume the same here?
Yeah, it's canceled.
Looking for 1 BTC match on the houston Team total for the 10pm game against seattle. I want the over 3 runs by houston, bookmaker.eu a cash book has it at -115 for the over 3. I'll do -111 with someone if they'll take it. The under is -105 on bookmaker.
Vig free would be -105 over 3, +105 under 3, but I'm looking for over 3 paying -111. Risking 1 BTC.
I'll gladly take these bets. Next time PM me and escrow. No way in hell I'm taking somebody for a $500+ bet on their word.
! this . Dont trust anyone in the gambling world ever.
I would be willing to partake if there is good way to escrow. Using OP as escrow is obviously stupid.
Dude, I get you, you don't know me. So asking you to escrow money is crazy. I was just trying to eliminate some factor where I would get scammed. Pretty much I'm just trying to get vig-free sports betting community here with a lack of scam potential.
Trust system does work. Dont make big bets with someone who has no trust. Start off small and get trust built and make sure to give positive feed back as well as give them a plus on their user name. That little +/- simple called trust next to their name. If you a new person with little trust and you are betting against someone with a lot of trust he may require you send half the bet up front. However you want to work it out. It can work but wont work if you have zero trust yourself. There are a lot of trust worthy people out there, more than untrustworthy.
brian - I get ya bud. I really do, but the fact is that I might make a .1 bet with you tomorrow and I could lose. I have two options:
1. Pay you.
2. Sign off bitcointalk and never talk to you again.
I mean, it sucks saying it that way, but there's a lot of shit that happens in the life of people that might cause them to do this ... especially in the gambling world.
I know you mean good .. I can feel it, but dude, with gambling + btc. It can easily be scam central. Whether it's planned or not!
Oh, and you mentioned that you were never once burned on 2p2. Could very well be true, but you gotta look at this as a scalable opportunity. Like, if Joe Shhhmooe comes in and wants to bet. You need to protect his money. That's how I'm looking at it.
