I also think anonibet should honor the soccer wager that played on neutral ground.  Its fairly ridiculous they wouldn't.  also of the 3 books i've tried this week (anonibet, cloud, nitrogen), anonibet was BY FAR the worst.  they had the lowest caps, the most counter intuitive web setup, the fewest number of bettable selections, the worst odds, and a complete and utter system glitch which prevented me from betting anything at all.

1 -- lowest caps.  i think the max i could bet on any sport at any time was right around 4 BTC, and most were capped around 2 BTC.

2 -- their website is terrible.  its like something out of 2003.  you cant just click to see your wagers.  you have to click history, then open bets, then the type of bet.  3 clicks just to see what you've got bitcoins on?  if you want to see past wagers you have to add a click for your date range and its just as complicated to see your cashier history.

3 -- sports are limited and selections within those sports are also more limited than the other books.  i would say half the sports and then half the selections within those sports.

4 -- i mean their odds are obviously terrible on average, but the one that really stuck out for me was the NBA.  indy game prop was paul george o/u 22.5 on both sides was -118.  seems steep to take almost 20%.  a prop like that where both sides are even should probably be -110 at worst and maybe -107.  houston/portland game tonight you cant even bet with the spread.  you have to take the ML or nothing.  just weird.

5 -- yesterday i tried placing several bets and got a popup error for all of them saying max bet was 7.17 mbtc.  sure, $3, why not.  who would bother making a bet for $3?  i basically cant even bet there any more because of how awful it is.  

if it were me, i would grade this book no higher than a D+ with a minor bump based on how long they've been in business plus a bump if they can prove liquidity (address of cold storage wallet with like 1000 BTC or something).  frankly, unless they rewrote their whole system or hired me as a consultant i would NEVER go back.  not sure why anonibet is so popular.
