This should serve as a reminder that your Bitcoins are not safe when you deposit them into a sportsbook, no matter how long they are in business or what their reputation is - and Bitbook was considered the most reputable Bitcoin sportsbook at the time !
For this reason we've created DirectBet. We came up with a unique solution where you can bet on sports events without depositing your Bitcoins and parking them on a 3rd party website. We do not hold your Bitcoins except during the lifetime of the bet and only the amount that you wish to bet. That's as safe as it gets.
http://www.directbet.euIt is not ethical to advertise through other threads. I cant stand companies doing that! BTW one company, which used the same betting solution without depositing, went down! It was outright scam - Bitcoinsports.eu. I wouldn't call it "That's as safe as it gets", because it is not.
