DirectBet- I think that you should lower your hold. Right now live betting is -434/+260. On the games starting tomorrow there are only RLs and no MLs.  Pitt/Cubs RL game going tomorrow is -188/+118. On the same game RL Nitrogen has -159/+140.

When comparing our odds, please note of the following :

1) We give back 1% of bets stake through our VIP program, so essentially, if you bet frequently, the odds that you are getting are much higher than the quoted odds. In addition, those who bet frequently earn additional bonuses from various other promotions that we run, such as the 3 BTC sports betting contest that concluded a few hours ago.

2) You will be able to find better odds as we get closer to the event start time and odds are more reliable. This is important, because unlike other Bitcoin Sportsbook, we do not impose ridicules maximum bet sizes.
In the example that you gave, the maximum bet size on Pitt at Nitrogen is 1 BTC, while at DirectBet you can bet more than 14 BTC.

3) We have recently introduced a new feature that allows you to negotiate the odds and you can use it to get better odds for your bets. We have implemented this feature for the advantage of those of you who want better odds and it is especially useful in this case because odds are temporarily reduced as they are not yet reliable and should increase later on. Give it a try and you will see. Negotiate Cubs for +140. Your order will most likely get filled before the start of the game.

Hi folks,

If your deposits are not being credited instantly, please send the transaction hash to our support team at support@cloudbet.com and we will make sure they are credited promptly.

We will be migrating to an in-house system later in this week, and at that point will be able to process all deposits instantly. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Cheers,
Cloudbet

Yes, they have been.

Also anyone quoting "legal council" but doesn't name them is a giant red flag.

Dear Anonibet Friends,

As of 04.04.2014 we have doubled up all our betting limits in all sports.

Regards,
Michael

Went to the sports book to take a look. For some reason none of the lines are showing for me.

How the books will be rated and weighted emphasis in order.

1. A heavy emphasis will be placed on speed of payments. Several books immediately pay out after the game has been graded. Those are the books with the least risk involved. Sweat the game, not the payout is not just a slogan. It should be a way of life for these bitcoin books. Bitcoin books have a much higher standard involved than post-up books because there are no fees involved and no need for a third party processor.

2. Grading time. Most postup books have automated grading; the winners and losers are determined minutes after the game is over. Bitcoin books that do this show that they have invested in their software. Books that rely on an individual to grade all games tend to have a high degree of risk.

3. Books not requiring personal information including an email address will be graded higher. Anonymity is a plus.

4. Date opened if less than 2 years. Bitcoin has just taken off in the past year, so it's unfair for one to compare a top bitcoin book with a post-up book like Pinnacle. But it is still important that a book shows itself to not be a flash in the pan. The longer a period of time a book has been open, the better its track record.

5. Limits. In general, the higher the limits, the deeper the bankroll of the sportsbook. If a bitcoin book takes high limits and pays out quickly, it shows its strength.

6. Sports and options offered. Uniqueness of lines and betting options is a positive.

7. Mobile betting. The ability to bet on the go can be important to some.

8. Live betting. The more, the better. Offering live betting isn't easy; the ones that do offer live betting lines tend to be stronger in general.

9. Customer service. The better the customer service, the more professional the book.

10. Interface. Ease of use is important.

11. Whether or not the book requires a deposit account. Depositing into a bitcoin book is a much bigger risk to the bettor, especially since these books have not built up a strong history that shows their staying ability.
