After the 7 day hold its already down $1700. Should I just transfer it now into BM & cut my losses or wait till it hopefully goes back up to over 50K?

It should be back over 50 soon. Some volatility right now.
Has been below above and back below 50 several times this week

Exactly Sam..these 7 day holds make no sense.( Money was debited out of my checking account within 2 days).. Losing $1700 on my own is one thing but to be at the mercy of random BTC volatility is total bullshit

Yeah but I knew I wasn't, considering I bought it when it was over 55K..market correction was bound to hit. I want to go big on Diego the next 3 matches or at least until he makes the Final. He's gonna be super motivated to finally win a title in his country against a weak field.

Fukk it couldn't wait.. I know I'm gonna regret this once it gets back to 55K within a week. Gonna go out of my way not to check the price in the near future to prevent sender's remorse.

What exchange or method do you use ? There’s no option to keep it in USD while the deposit clears ?

Coinbase..I can't do anything but transfer any type of gains (transferred apx. $900 in gains the 1st few days) until the 7 day hold.

My thoughts exactly..if I don't have enough faith to build up my BR higher than any types of BTC gains, might as well quit gambling & leave it all in Coinbase.

Solid bet.. No reason not to take him the rest of the week. Had $16 left in my account after redeeming my bet points. Hit an easy 3TP then for some dumb reason parlayed Kecm. instead of RBA with Diego.

You wait for the 7-day hold to be through and then you buy and send.

It will go over 50k. It will go over 100k. It will go over 500k eventually.
But you shouldn't try to time the market. Just avoid sportsbook that freeroll on you exchange rate to USD. If you get better price, you'll probably lose some when cashing out as they wait you out.
If you can get a better price at a bitcoin balance book, that's your best bet obviously.

2 things that might be useful:
1. You can request Bookmaker.eu for the exchange fees.. They can give back upto 15% of the deposit that has been spent in exchange fees. I know this is due to price fluctuation and not exchange fees, but no harm in trying.
2. Always do wire deposits to Coinbase, which is credited the same day and coins are available for withdrawal immediately. It will cost you 25-30$ max but much better than this hold time.

Better price meaning exchange price? I'm not following the argument, let alone the 500k prognostication lol

But without a defined timeframe anything is possible. Sun will go down and not come up one day, and the civilization will end.
This is a gambling forum so general statements without defined circumstances/conditions that make a bet/prediction a winner or a loser, look out of place to me personally.

If I just saved all of the BTC I ever sent to a book I would be retired. It's humbling - I gave a lot of people a lot of shit about bitcoin. Oh well I am rich in spirit.

Was most of it sent to books like 5dimes (btc converts to fiat currency and you gain nothing from bitcoin rate increases) or cloudbet (btc stays in btc balance so you have more fiat currency equivalent if you hold money and win in that book)?

He has been saying it will be worth ZERO for years, but he is more optimistic lately.
He is now saying it will be worth $250.00.

Coin Base is the worst wallet of all time! Get rid of them and use an exchange where you can convert to USD or deposit in USD. Absolutely no reason to take a loss like this on fluctuations!
