5Dimes Sportsbook updates policy on bitcoin withdrawals

[Sam Odom]

If BTC price fluctuations are worrisome then just use Books that will convert to cash... Heritage for example

[Optional]

Fluctuations don't concern me. They aren't that large. I convert in and out of currency on a weekly basis. I don't hold enough funds to care. To me it's just another gamble, just one that I'm not paying vig on. If you are a person who strictly is looking to arbitrage then Bitcoin probably isn't for you.

The main utility of the concept is for easy money transfer.

Just because people don't want to speculate on it does not mean it is not for them.

Apparently 5D values a certain demographic (forgive the sweeping generalization but let's call it the US and other people who value anonymity over fiscal security) and it provides enough volume to outweigh some major negatives. Not a path for all books to follow.
