Anonibet bitcoin sportsbook

[boondoggle]

Just found this book and it seems to offer everything 5dimes offers. People are reporting being paid out and with bitcoins, it takes 1 hour to deposit and cash out!

Any of you guys play here? if it is legit--goodbye regular sportsbooks for me.

The other bitcoin sportsbook, btcsportsbet.com did not offer anything except ML and Sides. Their NHL betting was very sparse.

i started with btcsportsbet this weekend. -113 on totals
when you cashed out, did you get funds immediately? i am new at all this including bitcoins. when you put in a "bcout" do you get that unquie address using the software at bitcoin.org? man i am so confused about this
what about illini's other bitcoin book he begs us to use?

[boondoggle]

you have to use your bitcoin wallet and get an address from the receiving section. This is the address you put into bcout section. The coins are sent there. The withdrawals are usually done within the hour. I am not familiar with book illini is using.

I'd be careful with anonibet - I remember some code when they first started that showed a link to a D- rated book (they cleaned it up fairly fast), as well as some Turkish or Romanian links (I think mentioned on another thread here), can't remember. Just hope it's not a "buid up trust for a few months then grab the cash and go away type". We definitely need more competition in the bitcoin sportsbook space, but until that happens btcsportsbet is the only one I trust as they have been around so long.

Everyone keeps saying this D-rated book stuff but no one points out which one and etc. I just did a fairly medium sized deposit and it was credited to my account within 45 mins. The email exchanges have been super fast and spot on.

Their NHL betting is slightly different. Some options I have not seen at other books. Interesting.

@fizzwont

you are constantly offering warnings about this book. Yet you offer nothing substantial. You however do tout the only other competing book--btcsportsbet every chance you get.

Also on the bitcointalk.org forums, the owner of btcsportsbet comes into the anonibet forum thread and "warns" people about this book.

I think all this talk about anonibet being part of a rogue family is being generated and propelled by the folks who own
btcsportsbet

[fizzwont]

Look man - I really hope you win and get paid. lots. If you check my posts, I warned about both that joke sportsexchange and btcsportsbetting - people ended up losing money at both places, it sucks. Like I said, the bitcoin market needs more competition - real competition. But when I see shady things I will mention it. I'll be the first to support other legit books that start taking bitcoin but until then it seems like a lot of 1-day wonders popping up recently. Best of luck, let us know how it goes.

do you all know about bitcoinsportsbook.com?

illini has mentioned it. not sure if he was joking that he used it or not
thanks

I do not know about that book. Currently I am only using anonibet.

Just requested a cashout of my deposit + winnings. It was processed within an hour and I have received it.

[fizzwont]

hey, nice, glad you got paid. Keep us updated, definitely curious if they will be around in 3, 6 months+. Not sure what he was talking about with bitcoinsportsbook.com - that place closed ages ago. The only other active ones I know of are btcsportsbet.com and btcsportsmatch.com and betsofbitcoin (a more general prediction market).

I am withdrawing after every night of betting. So far withdrawals are FAST and there are no fees. No problems yet.

[Hareeba!]

seems quite odd to me that you'd withdraw everything daily from a book you had full faith in

@hareeba!

I removed you from my ignore list just to reply to this one post. I am withdrawing everyday and then redepositing to illustrate three points.

1. how easy and fast it is.

2. show that bitcoin book operates on different deposit/withdrawal model because there are no fees.

3. show that there are no current problems withdrawing.

Now, back to my ignore list.

Those criteria are valid for all my books so should I be doing that everyday too?

just signed up at btcsportsbet wating for money transfer to by first bitcoins like the idea of cashing out after a win like vegas you would cash a ticket not leave the money there. also bitcoins are a commodity so you could also try to sell them for a higher price

[boondoggle]

Congrats spencer!

Well,..I am loving this DRAW NO BET that anonibet has. Tonight with Flames vs Ducks that was sooooo easy! Btcsportsbet is nice but they are just really limited in their options for NHL betting.

[gridiron guru]

no books are taking those little plastic things anymore so I'm looking for an alternative that pays.

[compaqDikk]

why doesn't Anoni offer NCAAB? only nba that i can see

[boondoggle]

yeah, anonibet does not offer NCAA and they also do not offer any NHL bets that include overtime or shootout. They also do not offer team totals for NHL.

With so many NHL games going to overtime, that is a big advantage to them.

[fizzwont]

that is pretty weird no ncaa - been betting a ton of ncaa hoops at at btcsportsbet. juice is a little steep on some ml's and totals though.

And on NHL they are the opposite - they only offer including OT/shootout it seems, but no team totals or anything like that.

Definitely want to see more competition, or something like the btcsportsmatch exchange get more traction/users - so much cheaper in the long run.

[flyingillini]

I use bitcoinsportsbook.com and never had any issues. I get paid prompt and the service is top notch. It's an invite book and a few others around here use them as well... It's some old school guys from back in the day running things... The lines are very slow to move and they have more props than 5 dimes...they hang their lines faster than most and I there are no limits....they take some serious action....if you can get in with them you will be very happy...Bitcoin is def the way to go!

[boondoggle]

anonibet nhl offerings are all 60 mins regulation bets except the total goals odd or even bets...lol.

flyingillini get me an invite to bitcoinsportsbook!

Looks, like I'm gonna have to read up on bitcoins now. I can't wrap my head around how it works but I do like the idea of fast payouts.

[RiverRaid]

It is very easy. Go to weusecoins.com and it shows you how to make a bitcoin acct and how it works. Then make an account at mtgox.com. Then go to bitinstant.com and follow the instructions and print out the deposit slip, go to whatever bank is around you that excepts a cash deposit from them and you're in business.

Couple of things bitinstant takes %5 cut on your deposit then mtgox or whatever exchange you use may take a dollar or two.

Also bitcoins have dropped about $1.10 in the last two weeks.

As far as gambling goes i have no idea what are the good sites besides what i have read on here.

[LordVodka]

Hmmm this stuff sounds like too good to be true.

[Hareeba!]

What is it that Warren Buffet says about businesses he doesn't understand?

[LordVodka]

Not to invest in them?

[LordVodka]

So far this is what I'm understanding:

1- You need to download the program from bitcoin.org. This gives you the bitcoin address where you receive coins?

2- You need Dwolla to receive coins and buy coins?

3- MTgox to actually cash out the bitcoins?

[LordVodka]

bitcoinsportsbook.com is pari-mutual? Well that sucks. I'm not interested anymore.

[RiverRaid]

Lordvodka it is definitely not for you. Good luck.

[gridiron guru]

what is a pari-mutual....does any bitcoin site offer parlays?

[LordVodka]

what is a pari-mutual....does any bitcoin site offer parlays?

Parimutuel betting (from the French: Pari Mutuel or mutual betting) is a betting system in which all bets of a particular type are placed together in a pool; taxes and the "house-take" or "vig" is removed, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool among all winning bets. In some countries it is known as the Tote after the totalisator which calculates and displays bets already made.

open account at dwolla transfer from bank account 3-5 business days send to mtgox buy bitcoins (market price) send to your wallet then book

[fizzwont]

You don't need to hold you own wallet on your pc (Step 1, download the program). You can just fund dwolla to mtgox, buy your coins, and leave some in the mtgox account and use that as your bitcoin "bank" or wallet. From there you can send coins to the book, or trade them back for USD at any time.

Anyway, on a bit of a run with ncaa hoops at btcsportsbet.com, 3 bitcoin payouts in 2 days - all have been automated and quick. Will probably get crushed during the tourney though.

Bitcoin price staying stable around 5$, even with all the negative press of the linode hackings/stolen coins, is a pretty good sign of stability to me.
