You seem to be missing one, intentionally it seems: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/nba

It definitely wasn't intentional, at the time I checked Sportsbet and Bitcoinrush both had the lines missing (I'm assuming a provider issue as most lines were missing across the board)

It's great to see so many sportsbooks competing to show off the best odds and margins though, it just means better options for the players  Smiley

I'm now constantly checking our odds and margins against our competitors thanks to this thread!  Tongue

On the plus side I'm very happy to report that we are currently offering some of the best odds and lowest margins on the NBA, and have just added a huge range of player prop bets to our offering: Celtics v 76ers

I don't think there's any malicious intent as my table didn't have BitcoinRush listed. You guys added it an hour or so after I created the table, and my guess is that Cloudbet assumed you didn't have it. Rush is currently marginally (heh) better with 1.51/2.76 versus Cloudbet's 1.51/2.73



Thread updated. BitcoinRush is now included, and they win on everything except for Under/Over markets, where they tie with Cloudbet.

Holy sh*t!  Noice!

Will you be updating this thread regularly Darkstar?  If so, at what intervals are planning in updating all the info.

Anyway, awesome thread.  Thanks.  Smiley

I'm aiming to do updates when needed (margin changes, new sports/events, etc). No specific interval; it's going to update when things change.

Basketball

For Basketball, the Match Winner, Under/Over and Handicap markets are used. The lowest margin is bolded. Cloudbet is currently the best book to play at as BitcoinRush does not have NBA betting available yet, however I fully expect them to add it. I will update my table once they do.

NBA:

|Sportsbook|Match Winner Margin|Over/Under Margin|Handicap Margin|
|Betcoin.ag|5.91%|6.20%|N/A%|
|BetKing|4.55%|4.71%|4.73%|
|BitcoinRush|2.56%|2.57%|2.47%|
|Cloudbet|3.06%|2.57%|2.85%|
|Jetwin|4.56%|3.63%|3.53%|
|mBitCasino|7.10%|8.76%|9.29%|
|Nitrogen|3.59%|3.64%|3.61%|
|Sportsbet.io|5.82%|6.39%|5.84%|



added to bookmarks, excellent job!
you may want to add bitgameonline to the list-they don't offer the best odds  but they are there as a bitcoin sportsbook https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1745040
Stake and Bitdice both plan to add sportsbooks, with Bitdice's coming in under a month (they say it is two weeks, but can take longer)



Thanks! I never knew that Stake was looking to have a sportsbook. Should be interesting to see what they come up with  Cheesy

NFL updated to include all books. BetKing is the clear winner in all lines that are close to 50/50 odds, but is a bit worse in less equal ML lines. Also updated BetKing Totals lines for soccer.

If you're a high roller, there's still probably no singular book that's good for you. For example, BetKing takes 2 BTC bets on some soccer events no problem, but they won't let me place 0.07 BTC on an NFL outcome. If you care about limits for all sports, Nitrogen is likely your best bet.

We have had some of the highest limits for a while now, for example we were offering 100 BTC limits during the world cup!

Obviously it varies based on the sport, specific line, the time left till the event, etc, but for most main markets I like to think we are up there with the asian bookmakers and Pinnacle.

Right, I do believe you have the highest limits. I've corrected my statement.

Maybe you won too much and they capped your limits?

Probably. Either way, quite a few books hide their limits so it is not feasible to have a table of limits.



As promised, NHL is added. Jetwin is under maintenance, so their margins are left blank for now.

NHL:

|Sportsbook|Match Winner Margin|Over/Under Margin|Handicap Margin|
|Betcoin.ag|7.86%|7.52%|8.13%|
|BetKing|4.74%|5.01%|6.39%|
|BitcoinRush|2.42%|2.93%|2.51%|
|Cloudbet|3.76%|4.03%|4.11%|
|Jetwin||||
|mBitCasino|4.35%|4.70%|5.23%|
|Nitrogen|2.97%|3.28%|3.66%|

BitDice is launching a sportsbook in ~two weeks! Should be interesting to see how they compete.

If you want to include some useful information, how about including what the maximum wager amount is for certain events.

This was on my list, but it's too complicated and unreasonable to do. For example, there's no easy way to show BitcoinRush's increasing limits, or BetKing's heavily varying limits. Even worse are sites like Sportsbet.io who don't show the limit at all. I've been placing ~140 mBTC Baseball bets on Sportsbet with no issue in the past, and tried to place one today, but I couldn't play over 105 mBTC.

If you're a high roller, there's still probably no singular book that's good for you. For example, BetKing takes 2 BTC bets on some soccer events no problem, but they won't let me place 0.07 BTC on an NFL outcome. If you care about limits for all sports, Cloudbet is likely your best bet.

Sportsbet.io, for example, is one of the only sportsbooks (to my knowledge) that offers Ethereum sports betting.

Information like this could be useful to newcomers and just in general to the community.  

Meh. I don't want to deal with the mess that is Ethereum smart contracts for sports betting, and this is an overview of Bitcoin Accepting Sportsbooks. I also don't want to deal with more people requesting altcoins. I believe Sportsbet.io, Betcoin and a million smart contracts offer Ethereum sports betting.

Nice work Darkstar  Cool

Truth be told, a smart punter would use the Sportsbet Price Boosts every 24 hours to maximize the highest odds.

As someone else mentioned, the odds offered w/ Price Boost surpass even fiat sites.

This was mentioned in the Misc section:

Sportsbet.io offers a 'Price Boost' that lets you boost the odds of a selection, per sport every 24 hours. It reduces margin to anywhere around -1% to 1.5%. If you don't place many bets, and don't mind KYC, Sportsbet.io is the best sportsbook for you.

Often, people will want to place multiple bets in a 24 hour period, so Sportsbet.io isn't the best option for them for all of their bets.


Include the odds provider for each Bitcoin sportsbook you've included.

This information is quite hard to come by, and isn't too useful. All books listed have different odds providers (AFAIK) except for Nitrogen & BitcoinRush, who both use Pinnacle lines. Nitrogen is Pinnacle + additional margin, while BitcoinRush is raw Pinnacle lines.

As someone else mentioned, just because a sportsbook has low margins doesn't mean it's the best option.

If you want to include some useful information, how about including what the maximum wager amount is for certain events.

Bitcoinrush may have the lowest margins, but they also have some of the lowest limits available.

Again, thanks for creating this thread  Cool

EDIT:  Maybe also include what sportsbook offer what coins.

Sportsbet.io, for example, is one of the only sportsbooks (to my knowledge) that offers Ethereum sports betting.

yep bicoinrush is dominating the markets when it comes to MMA , the only down side is the small limits where many times I was only able to place 30 mbtc and sometimes it's 60 mbtc but limits go higher at the day of the fight especially few hours before the event start
so would love to see rush raising the limits for MMA especially that most of the times people bet the favorite where the odds can been between 1.2-1.7 and with such limits the potential profit is kinda small
the bitcoinrush limit of 30/60 mbtc is ridiculous. It would be extremely unpleasant to deposit 1 btc and discover that they accept a maximum of 60 mbtc; they have at least one system that tells you what the maximum bet they accept (like what they use pinnacle)
