In a thread with 1000 views and under 100 replies directbet already has 100 votes? According to search trends and alexa directbet seems significantly less popular than cloudbet yet carries 50x the votes of cloudbet already. Seems fishy, they were voted the #1 gambling site last time as well in a poll which featured primedice and just-dice by a large margin.
If you look at the people who typically post "I love directbet" it looks like this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/hyden-671620
That's not to say they aren't trustworthy or popular whatsoever, I'm sure they have quite a few users that love their service but it certainly seems they rigging these polls. in their favor. I know for a fact I'm not the only person here who has noticed this type of behavior from them over the past year.
