I did the following bet:

It was a EURUSD call. I sent the transfer on 2016-11-15 02:23:43, but the trade was not executed until 2:53:27, 30 minutes later.

The payment was sent from Electrum, which is a wallet you recommend and I saw the transaction in blockchain.org a second after I sent it.

Not only that, the price of EURUSD was ~1.07515 when the option was finally purchased, but it spiked on your platform to 1.0756 and then right back down. And the option was executed at 1.0756 even though no other feed had that price movement (FXCM, Interactive Brokers or ThinkorSwim...three of the largest forex brokers). Here is an example of a similar price spike soon after the bet was made:

So basically, even with the 30 minutes extra to execute my trade, I should have won it, or at the least tied it depending on what price the option was traded at...so can you return my bet. This was my first bet and I want to place a lot more but I want to know that it will be done fairly.

EDIT:
Here is the price of EURUSD when the option was purchased. This is from TDAmeritrade, one of the worlds largest brokers.

The red line is 1.0756, and the oval is the 1 minute bar the time the bet was made. As you can see, the price was nowhere near 1.0756. And I am sure that if you look at your price feed, it will show the same spike that I linked before. Also, I know that price feeds can be different but never by 5 pips, and your price feed has matches TD Ameritrade and the other broker's that I use within 0.3 pips, while this spike was ~5 pips. Even though I was clearly suppose to win the bet, I would be fine if you just refund it. I think that would be the fairest option.

how the fuck so much people still play it if its an obvious scam? I mean just think about it, they have this problem for months and they dont even bother fixing it, its possible to fix that in like a week in a worstcase scenario if you work alone, theyre taking a piss on all of their players, and they just want to rob them, there are tons of people who dont even bother posting here after being scammed, thats what makes them money

I might be wrong though, its just my personal opinion, looking forward to the owners answer

I disagree. The house edge is what makes them money, just like in any gambling. The house will win overall, some players will lose, some will win. You can think of it as if the house takes a fee from each bet, can be from .1-10% from what I've found, depending on the venue and game played. In the end, once the smoke clears, that's how it will work out. with the house always profiting by the % of house edge. It's a winning situation no matter how you look at. Scamming people would not make more money, it would reduce the income, as the number of bets made would stay small. The more bets made, the more profit. To them it should be inconsequential who wins who loses, so long as it is played fair, the house will profit.

I agree in theory, but if they spike the price every time a call is purchased/bet, then it is clearly a scam. I don't want to accuse this company of anything yet, maybe it is just their data feed. But I hope they do the right thing. I have been looking for a good binary options broker that deals in bitcoins and secondstrade looks great...if in fact they are fair.
