Why are books taking Bitcoin now?

[Otters27]

Still seems like its unstable

Short and sweet: Easy to move money. Doesn't have to stay bitcoin once it hits your account.

If sand had necessary value theyd take that too.

I assume they just convert it to usd right away. Simply a means to exchange funds.

The only use for BC I can think of is seemingly untrackable money useful for various good things like gambling/drugs/weapons/whores/tax evasion of course the market for things like that is so huge a BC might be worth a million for all I know or maybe its worth 2 bucks penetrate if I know theres like 500 cryptocurrencies out there right now and how one is worth more than another idk just based on popularity I guess...but that's like theres a million whores out there but they are all different prices...just use a rubber and hope the crypto you pick doesn't give you AIDS

Bitcoin isn't trading well lately, it wouldn't surprise me if books just stopped using it.

[GradyFuson]

Books will not stop using crypto. It's the best thing to happen to gambling since I've been in the business.
I just hope that books have been smart enough diversify their portfolios so they don't lose to much and can continue to pay.
On the bright side, books would have accumulated the majority of their btc at the beginning of football season, would have been a great time for anyone to buy and hold.
My guess is that books will take a hit, but will be fine.

I agree. Regardless of the shifting value of a crypto, books will value the ease at which money moves.

As long as someone will deposit and lose it, the books will take it.

Agree with all above.

Bitcoin is the way to go.

But I do think if sports betting is legalized in the states, funding methods will slowly get easier again for offshore as methods are made available for players at legal books.

I buy oxy from my guy with LTC

As soon as it hits his account, he puts 90% of it on a paypal debit card. The other 10% he leaves in as an investment.

I assume the books do the same.
