complete unreachable site now..

Yes, this is really sad as I loved betsofbitcoin and had one of the "never closed" bets that has now vanished.

I hope it gets back up, but the fact that there is now a scam thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coinjedi-please-provide-all-information-you-got-613286 does not offer a lot of hope.

Good Luck!

Good news. I was able to get a withdrawal to work eventually after many, many failed attempts.
The trick was to manually paste the withdraw URL and if the form appeared attempt to withdraw. I think I had over a dozen tries and I'm not sure which one was the successful one. Also, I tried withdrawing a whole number (e.g., 1) for amount and that worked. I'm now trying to withdraw the fraction but haven't yet gotten that successfully withdrawn.

Thanks, I was also able to withdraw after trying several times. So it looks like it is just plain incompetency in managing the site or may be owner died?

Just wanted to warn and advise that the site BetsOfBitcoin http://betsofbitco.in/ is not closing betting statements, the effect being that your BTC is essentially locked-up, in limbo, and not available to be withdrawn. This is a shame, because the concept of BetsOfBitcoin is a good one.

Heeding to your warning, I went there and got this:

Your request can not be completed at this time. We are working hard to fix it. Please, try again later.
Your Bitcoins and data are safe and backed up regularly.

I have this same problem! I have around 1BTC in bets, and bets that closed on the 31st are not being closed.

1. Bets of Bitcoin will not respond to customer emails. Many report the operators have never responded to a query.
2. Betting Statements that expired December 31, 2013, are still not closed.

Users are warned: you can not receive a payout on a wagering statement until the website operators close the statement. For example, you may have won your wager that the SP500 did not close at 2000 by December 31, 2013. But, if the website operators have not closed this statement, then your BTC is essentially locked up.

Hope this helps,

PNW
