First: Your site is pretty awesome, and the frustratingly low limits is the only downside I've seen so far, so thank you...
Second: (i.e. Frustratingly low limits)
For the last UFC event (Singapore) the limits were very low, and it was disheartening to place a wager and only find out the allowed amount to wager after being turned down for the initial wager. Is there a way to see what the max wager at a certain time is for MMA?
This wouldn't be (as much of) an issue if the max wagers were closer to 50 BtC which your site advertises, but the limits I was hitting was ~0.2 BtC which is less than a half percent of what your site suggests is available, and very very frustrating to try to build up in preparation for the event... So anything to help out the MMA fans who are having heaps of trouble getting down, and getting very very frustrated about it?
Glad you're enjoying BitBook!
With regard to the UFC limits, we hate to ever limit action, and we can understand how it can be frustrating. Our commitment is to always manage BitBook as responsibly as possible, and at times that means limiting our exposure, by decreasing a max significantly. There are 3 ways that our limits can be pushed down:
- For smaller events (for instance, many tennis, or MMA matches), we may have lower limits.
- For bigger events long before start time (i.e. when an event is first posted)
- If one side of an event has a disproportionate amount of action (i.e. everyone is betting on the same team)
We can see how it can be frustrating when an event has very little available, and we will continue to work hard to limit the occurrences of this situation. Thanks for the feedback.
