    Best Bitcoin Sportsbooks

    Fairlay Exchange is a nice betting exchange and has really good odds - the best by far - better than even 5dimes' Reduced Juice odds.

    It's an exchange, so the layout is different, but you'll get the hang of it. It defaults to Decimal Odds, but you can change to American odds if you like. You will save a significant amount of money over the course of your wagering due to the much better odds.


    Nitrogen Sports is also a good, reliable Bitcoin Sportsbook.
    They have very good odds (not quite as good as Fairlay), a nice site and very good customer support. Very reliable. They've been around longer than most.


    CloudBet

    They do not have the best odds and withdrawals take a bit longer, but they have a very nice looking and fast site and their Live Betting is very good and has better odds. So if you bet sports at CloudBet, you will get better odds by waiting to bet after the game has started!


    If you are totally unfamiliar with BitCoin, here is a short video.



    And it's easy to buy Bitcoin at Coinbase.

    They are very reliable and you just have to set up an *************** from your checking account.

    Nitrogen and Betcoinsports are both good.

    No one has been stiffed at Cloudbet but they have a skeleton crew on weekends and there are always problems on the weekends as far as
    grading times, deposits and withdrawals.

    Cloudbet blows if you wager over 1k a game. They have pretty low limits from my understanding/experience.

    As much as I hate to say it, but I hear sportsbook.ag is pretty fast with btc withdrawal (certainly not check). Same 100% bonus on first btc deposit up to $500 with 20X sports, 35X casino, and 5X racebook. Also, 10% bonus on every btc deposit.

    Unfortunately no, I mean sportsbook.ag. Sportsbetting.ag much more reliable with processing requests. I love everything about sportsbook.ag expect the SLOW PAY...but apparently they got their shyt together with btc based on reported withdrawal time frames posted in forum. I always used them for live betting even with other accounts at 5dimes, betdsi, and bookmaker. They just never have been able to pay on time with check. Took 14 weeks last summer and that was the last time for me.

    The OP is only talking about bitcoin books, i.e., books that deal exclusively in btc and hold your balance in btc.

    Not sure I would want my balance exclusively held in btc unless it was my base currency. You can always get USD out in other ways without having to exchange at a lower btc rate if it fluctuates a lot. I am not a btc investor, only using it as a convenient deposit/withdrawal option...but I get the OP might like to keep it at a place like Nitrogen.

    My TOP 3 Bitcoin books:

    Nitro (good limits)
    Jetwin (a lot of markets, USD accounts, instant withdrawals)
    Cloudbet (Live betting)

    They look like honest assessments to me. I would like to hear more feedback on the Fairlay Exchange though.

    I have been using Fairlay for awhile now. They have the best odds of any sportsbook and deposits and payouts have been fast. You just have to get used to the layout.

    They aren't a true exchange since they seed the market.

    OK thanks. A TRUE exchange available to USA would be great.

    I've only used nitrogen but I like it.. Tons of options, live betting is good but not the friendliest when on a smartphone

    Yes, raiders72001, I suspect Fairlay is "seeding" the market to jumpstart things. But at least they are seeding it with some very good odds - much better than you can get at any other regular sportsbook or bitcoin sportsbook, and almost as good as MatchBook. Too bad Matchbook doesn't accept U.S. clients anymore.

    What I worry about is security when a book seeds the market. They use Pinny lines. When markets are seeded it means that Fairlay is working as a sportsbook and can lose money.

    Fairlay claims that they have two market makers. The market makers aren't fronting all the money to Fairlay. If it's Fairlay that is booking, we have to trust Fairlay in case of loses. If indeed, there are two market makers, then it's an added entity to trust.

    Fairlay is not a big operation. I hope that Fairlay gets big where all offers can be player vs. player. This would be great for us. My posts aren't to bash Fairlay but to share information.

    not sure about these bitcoin books. you pay way more juice and their odds suck well at least halftime and baseball lines.

    These are fair points. Do you have any knowledge of who is running fairlay, or what the size/experience level of the marketmakers are? Obviously, there are no guarantees in this business, but just wondering if anyone has any info. as to who (or even what types of people) are involved at this point.
