Betcoin: Same odds provider as mBitCasino, except with even higher margin! Zero reason to bet at Betcoin.


This is completely false. Betcoin.ag does not use the same provider as mBitCasino and has not for nearly 1.5 years. We are unsure why OP decided to make this false statement. Betcoin.ag made tremendous improvements in its sports offering to make us competitive with all sports books on the market including fiat and crypto nearly 1.5 years ago. Since then our offerings, activity and experience has improved tremendously. Additionally, we are always looking to improve and look forward to your feedback. We invite you to experience Betcoin.ag Sports today and strongly believe you will have a highly enjoyable experience. Thank you.

My bad, I haven't used your book for about 2 years and when I did, you used UltraPlay. I did check again and it appears to be a different provider. I apologize for my error.
Regardless of provider, on NFL, your even lines at at -111 (1.9 decimal), which is below the industry standard and not at all competitive. That's a 5.26% margin, which is way above all books listed (minus mBitCasino for a few outcomes). Your EPL lines are at ~5.7% for ML, ~6.9% for Handicaps and ~7.1% for Totals (from one event that I checked). MLB margins are all around 6% or higher.

If you ever choose to make your sportsbook competitive, I'd be happy to include you. However, paying an extra 5% of my winnings to you is not something that would be a highly enjoyable experience. You also lack things such as bonuses or promotions that would otherwise make up for your poor margins.
