The Bitcoin Thread

What they mean I suppose when you mention like instant which is third party transaction

**elgreco** · 01-13-13, 07:24 PM

We'll be careful. I may not be at a PC to type out a reasonable opening post until tomorrow, so if any of you guys want to kick one off again, paste a link here.

lol @ shitcoins

**elgreco** · 01-13-13, 10:10 PM

I understand shitcoins better than most. You'd be better off sticking your cash in a mattress. Unregulated virtual currency mined by Chinese slaves, subject to hackers and government intervention... sounds safe to me

. Shitcoin market lost over 80% in a day from a hack. No thanks.

anonibet is a quality btc sportsbook, payed me out nearly 5k in coins within 24 hours of hitting an 8 teamer, about a year ago. from what it looks like their quality has only gone up

**waldroprob** · 01-14-13, 08:38 PM

lol - anonibet is the worst of the 3 major bitcoin books. Too bad the other thread got nuked or you'd see guys waiting 3 days for payouts and even longer to get a response to an email. Either you hit that parlay a while ago or you are a shill, their quality is shit now and lots of guys are waiting for payments.

Also, the odds suck compared to btcsportsmatch.

**elgreco** · 01-15-13, 10:09 AM

I made a new thread. Let's hope it lasts.

**elgreco** · 03-06-13, 02:06 PM

All the Bitcoin threads keep getting killed. I PM'd shari to ask what the deal was, I'm still waiting for a response. I expect this one to get yanked too since I bumped it.

**waldroprob** · 03-06-13, 11:15 PM

I hope we get an explanation. hundreds of good posts in those thread, with solid information, tracking bitcoins from when there were < $5 to now ($40), and the books that take them. Why don't they just remove the offending posts? Nuking the threads is ridiculous, there are far worse threads that keep getting bumped that have no real value to bettors. bitcoin is part of the industry now, deal with it.

**elgreco** · 03-07-13, 07:43 AM

In anticipation of this, I took screenshots of the entire thread as it was going along. I am going to wait until I hear from the mods before opening up another thread and posting them.

**Mitchell88** · 03-07-13, 07:58 AM

there are poker sites that do the bitcoin thing, I am just a little weary of the whole thing

I've been an occasional poster for many years and this place seems to have gone downhill. I get the feeling things are much more manipulated to the site operator's agenda than they used to be.

**Sacrelicious** · 03-09-13, 08:30 AM

I cant believe this stuff is 40+ dollars right now, the market seemed to crash a few days ago and then rebounded within a matter of like 4 hours. I only have a small handful that I bought last year, but this is completely ridiculous. I suspect the black market will at the very least keep bitcoin steady, in terms of speculative investments, this is as good as it gets.

**pattymayo** · 03-09-13, 01:00 PM

Can anyone give me a quick run down on how exactly you get bitcoins? Is the only way to purchase them? If so, isn't this a bad time to purchase them, as the going rate is like $50 per coin?

I downloaded the bitcoin wallet, and I'd love to get some coins over to btcsportsbet.com .. what's the best way to do this?

**elgreco** · 03-09-13, 01:16 PM

We can't really talk about that here. I had a great thread going before the mods pulled it. Still waiting to hear back form them. Go to the bitcointalk and search for elgreco gambling links. You'll find the info you need there.

But to answer your question, yes, the only way (for a consumer) to get bitcoins is to purchase them. As far as whether or not its a bad time... its just like any market. Good be a bad time, could be a great time. Who knows. Do some reading on the other forum and ping me there if you have any questions. I'll probably repost the pulled thread tomorrow whether or not I hear from the mods.

**elgreco** · 03-09-13, 01:23 PM

I just made a thread in the newbie section. You guys can ask any questions you may have over there.

**pattymayo** · 03-09-13, 01:31 PM

thanks greco i'll check it out over there

**elgreco** · 03-10-13, 08:23 PM

Here we go, round 4:

What's hilarious is that you have been lurking this whole time while we have been stuffing our pockets with more cash than most people on this forum have ever made in a lifetime of gambling.

Buddy, I just saw the news and it made me laugh and I remembered this thread. Good luck finding the next pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I hope you reported your earnings on your taxes.
