    How much do you think Nitrogen Sports is worth now ?

    With btc at 2,500.00

    Just picked them at random

    Personally know a couple of smaller CR books that have held all btc deposits (paid out in cash) since summer last yr

    I don't think they hang onto all of those coins. I'm sure they have a method they convert it into other currency. But clearly they are ahead of the game.

    Sammy seems like they are worth a decent amount

    Any book not going to exclusive bitcoin will fall behind

    Their site is very slow and frustrating.

    Betting in BTC's kind of a pain, but IMHO, Nitro's the best BTC sportsbook available where you don't have to assume any currency risk in converting your BTC to dollars (although for the last 36 hours, you'd be cheering such a conversion).

    Well, they have to keep some of their assets in a BTC hot wallet, for payouts, but I'm sure they diversify their overall assets, against the vast unpredictability of BTC price movements.

    Just have google open in another tab and type '100USD BTC' and it will tell you the exact amount to bet at top of results.

    bitcoin only books didnt make out great on upswings because when you win you get true value, fiat book really raked in because their bitcoin reserves doubled while we lose the appreciation

    Good point, but which gained more, Fiat or BTC books, depends on the percentage of deposited BTC Nitro ultimately has to pay out.

    Judging by its chat room, I'd guess Nitro gets to keep most of the BTC deposited there.
