    Any books taking credit or debit cards?

    I swear I can't get money into a book without using bitcoin or p2p. Tried cards on 5dimes. Bovada. Heritage. Bookmake. Will someone please take my money. You can keep it too

    Sometimes I think sbr must be paying folks points for pushing bitcoin so much. I really don't get it. Takes a bunch of time to set up. Or you're limited to how much you can put on. You have to transfer to three to 4 different wallets and hope you don't mess up the address. Then you pay fees most of the time on all those transfers and then when you cash out you do the same. Just seems like a process, maybe I'm missing something. If I deposit my way I spend 50 cents in fees and when I withdraw it's 3 bucks per every 1000. If bitcoin is cheaper then that please let me know because I must be misinformed.

    Comparing a smart phone to depositing into an offshore book is not comparing apples with apples my man...

    I do understand your logic in general, but in this type of industry you just will not see the monopoly to crypto currencies like you do in other arenas...

    crypto currencies are growing super fast.

    climb on the crypto currency train. Fighting it is useless and pointless.

    BTC is alright when you get it set up. Unfortunately, they logged me out and needed my damn ID verification crap again. I can't get it to work so no money for them, and 5D. How am I supposed to hold my damn ID up with my shit webcam then take a selfie. Well, easily but somehow I must not be me because I continue to get denied. It is a pain in the ass, but if you can get past that then all good. The fees are a bitch.

    How do you deposit? I just want to be able to go the damn store, and send it. So much damn easier except with BTC I can sit on my ass and send money. If they would just verify that I am me. The guy who knows the login, and password, using the same IP, but got a new damn phone number.

    I am just comparing things that once never existed and now are hugely popular.

    did you think fedex would ever work?
    Amazon.com or ebay.com? I bet you wished you had stock in them when they first opened.
    Bitcoin $2500 today. Pennies a few years ago. Some say it will be $10,000 in a couple year and $100,000 in a few years
    Ethereum $8 this January. $278 today.

    C redit c ards are a dying breed to US players for offshore gaming. Will it it ever been like it was before 2007? maybe. Don't hold your breathe. Remember all those poker sites that just disappeared one day?

    P2P? limits shrinking every year

    Like I said, fight it or embrace it, love it and enjoy it.

    Maybe I came across wrong...I am not disagreeing with you the BTC is the future...My point was and will always be that it will not be a monopoly like the other arenas you referred to...

    Not to mention sometimes even when you pay a high fee the transaction takes 17 hours to confirm. I hear you. Bitcoin is all right but it's far from perfect. At least with money transfer if something goes wrong you can call customer service. There is no phone number for Bitcoin. If something goes wrong your fuked.

    You tried Heritage? Heritage is usually easy.

    locals are ok. Most of us had one once or know someone who did. I have heard my fair share of stories about how their local guys didn't pay and skipped town but more importantly, you have tons more betting options online line. Live betting, props, alternative lines etc.

    Deal with a highly rated book on sbr and use bitcoin. Don't stress out over getting paid, just over the wagers made. That even sorta rhymes.

    Not fighting it just tell me how your way is better then the current rates that I have. I don't see the benefit. The only thing that I give NYC credit for is books tend to allow you multiple payouts in a week that way then others

    what do you mean by the current rates that you have?

    What I posted in my first statement. What I currently pay to deposit and withdraw. I don't see the benefit in bitcoin because what I'm currently using is easier. And bitcoin has way too many fees

    I saw your initial statement but I didnt understand what "your way is" so I am not sure how to compare it to? Sorry for the delayed response. I am at the office and doing 20 things
