Boon- You involved with this? You've been pumping these books.

[raiders72001]

I had 15 bets total on the day.

I'm down around 100BTC overall since starting betting with Blockbet.net in March after hearing a few months of positive reports. This theft is just unconscionable.

Golly, I wonder who it was.

I keep trying to warn everyone, a ton of new bitcoin sportsbooks have opened in the last couple months, either guys doing it as a hobby or trying to make a quick buck on the bitcoin train.

BE CAREFUL WITH ALL OF THESE NEW BOOKS!

BTCSportsBet is the oldest bitcoin book, been around for 2.5 years, positive reviews from OSGA and other places. SBR unfortunately refused to take it seriously and do a full review, but maybe that will change. Sure it's a vanilla book, but at least your money is safe and payouts are instant.

These new shit books giving BTC a bad name.

[Sacrelicious]

Not really giving BTC a bad name,

Did BI give USD a bad name?

Seriously, why would you bet so much on a BTC book that was possibly a scam?

I bet there a few times a while ago for <1 BTC, for shits and giggles.

BTC is not for gambling.

If you got it back, take it and move on.

Golly, I wonder who it was.

Who?

BTC is not for gambling.

Wut? Gambling and Silk Road are its only purposes. (Someday hopefully this is not true.)

I don't know why anyone would ever trust a bitcoins merchant / website. Seems like anyone can just go make a domain name ( yourbitcoinsstore.com ) and offer products or a service, have everyone send you bitcoins, and never ever do anything. Since there is no one to regulate bitcoins, your bitcoins "wallet" can just steal anyone and everyones money that sends you bitcoins.

Is it even a crime to steal people's bitcoins since no one even acknowledges bitcoins as real? What charges would one in the United States face for scamming people out of their bitcoins?
