DirectBet still solid in payouts?
Over $6000 paid out to me here -

They're an honest book, but given the anonymous nature of it you should always play with caution as zero recourse if something goes wrong. Personally I wouldn't bet any long term events here (or with any other anonymous bookmaker) as who knows what happens 1,3,12 months from now. But a sporting event lasting 2 hours? You'd need to be horribly unlucky if they got hacked or anything else went wrong in that tiny time window. I've had probably 10 or so 4 figure USD payments from them and they've all been paid out instantly.
I'd happily wager $10k on Leicester to win their game on the weekend with them, bet placed before game starts and if my bet goes well then money back in my hands 105 minutes later. Would I use them to bet on Leicester to win the league and need to wait 8 months? Probably not.
