you are right in that they will never GROW unless you can confirm a wager instantly especially in horse racing the waiting to see if it was taken "in time" or not raises questions to the actual person risking the money. its understandable that the person not risking the money would say its all in the system and the clocks and they dont choose which to take or not. but they dont put the money up first... will hinder growth. s
Thanks for your feedback but I don't quite understand.
Can you please clarify and provide the problematic bet ID(s) ?
Following is an explanation from our Rules page in regards to the process in which we confirm bets.
What exactly is it that you don't like ?

As soon as we receive your bet, we will either confirm or reject it within a minute. Refresh the Bet Status page to determine whether your bet was confirmed or rejected. If the status is 'No bets were received', it means that your bet transfer has not been delivered yet. If the status is 'Pending', it means that we received your bet and it is being processed.
If your bet transfer is delayed by the Bitcoin network or by your Bitcoin wallet or for any other reason, it will be processed as soon as it is received.
If the odds have increased by the time your bet transfer is received, your bet will be confirmed at the greater odds. If on the other hand the odds have been decreased, your bet will be rejected and refunded if you selected the 'Firm Odds' option and confirmed at lower odds if you selected the 'Flexible Odds' option or if you selected the 'Negotiate Odds' option, as long as the odds are higher than the minimum negotiated odds.
If the event is already over by the time your bet transfer is received, your bet will be refunded regardless of the result.
If your bet is confirmed then the bet will stand and can not be canceled by either you or us. If your bet is rejected, it will be refunded as soon as there are 6 confirmations for the Bitcoin transaction that you sent.
Once the bet status is either 'Confirmed' or 'Rejected', it can not be changed the other way around. A rejected bet can not turn into a confirmed bet and a confirmed bet can not turn into a rejected bet. A rejected bet will always be refunded and a confirmed bet will always get settled.
In the rare event that our system is malfunctioning while your bet is received, the bet status will remain 'Pending' or 'No bets were received', meaning it is neither confirmed nor rejected. In such a case, our system will attempt to confirm the bet as soon as it is back up. If the event is already over by that time, your bet will be refunded regardless of the result.
