bitcoin is the way of the future. there are uncertainties with it, but it is the only option players are left with. these fly by night costa rican books are mostly scamshops. a couple years ago it was a different story but nowadays the only real options players have are:

betonline
topbet
5dimes

heritage got too big sold out their customer service is dog shit and now they are just a book for losers. meanwhile bookmaker charges up the ass for a payout. bitcoin you have the advantage of instant payouts and no fee either. there is no industry watchdog to keep books honest anymore, costa rica is drying up and smart players are moving to BTC

you do have more volatility due to currency fluctuation but if you look at the longterm trend btc is just going up up up. if you bet on sports at breakeven for the past 3 years using bitcoins, your bankroll would have increased by a factor of 100. so if your roll was $1,000 with bitcoin in 2011, and you didnt win ANY MONEY betting on sports that entire time, your roll would be $100,000 by now.

meanwhile if you increased your roll from $1,000 to $100,000 at betislands or betcascade or betowi or alliance sportsbook, your roll would be $0 right now. or if you did it at legends you would have your balance transferred to a mickey mouse scambook slowpaying you with outrageous fees, waiting for the first opportunity to steal from you
