After six days with zero meaningful response, they finally paid my winnings.  They may not have stiffed me in this case, but these guys are clearly amateurs to lose their minds over 3K.  I would not trust my money to this company.

Six days later they finally paid my winnings.  I can't say they are thieves but this is an amateur operation that I would discourage anyone from playing with.

The bet was a 4-team round robin parlay for 6BTC.  It settled with 3 winners + 1 push and then they locked out the account.

I deposited 10BTC to this site last Thursday.  My account hit a parlay for 25BTC and they locked my account.  Customer service is not responsive.

Last Thursday I deposited 10BTC and won a parlay for 25BTC.  They locked out my account and haven't paid.

This site is clearly undercapitalized or outright thieves.

STAY AWAY

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK

Heritage is a losers-only book.  They aggressively profile and micro-manage all accounts for profitability.  If your action is welcomed there for more than a month, gambling probably isn't for you.

FYI, anyone should be demanding a discount on his DSI $ due to their notoriously high withdrawal costs.

No response from any mod to this thread or the thread in Gambling or any of the spam PMs and troll posts that have been received.

What a dumpster fire this site is, just like the entirety of the Bitcoin community.

U run good

Were you paid on any wagers from last Saturday?

Blockbet.net didn't return anything on graded bets.  I placed 15 bets on Saturday totaling 150 BTC.  Net winnings were 22.1 BTC on those wagers, 172.1 BTC owed.

HE PAID ZERO, 0, NOTHING, NADA!

The 20BTC sent on Sunday was from 2 NBA futures bets which he cancelled before completion.

I was down over 100BTC betting with Blockbet.net before his theft and now over 250BTC after his theft.

This would obviously be a much smaller issue if he had simply (yet unethically) cancelled ALL wagers and returned the 150BTC that I put at risk on Saturday.

Seems pretty clear that he would simply craft a new identity for his next scam.  Nevertheless, a scam tag should be added, just in case.

I appreciate the ignored user's idiotic trolling for keeping this thread atop the forum.

Absolutely false.  That kid is a stone moron.

And coming from a guy with documented, posted panty-twistage over .1 BTC bets in pre-boom February.  Sad to say he fits right in to this forum.

Of course this could happen at a post-up book.  They can and have done anything they wish, with the added leverage of holding more than your stake.  Not sure why you two are so desperately attempting to defend this preposterous position.

For a given bookmaker, you're seriously arguing that you would rather he hold your money than you hold your own money?  Lulz, the full-blown Stockholm Syndrome present among sports betting ploppies never ceases to amaze.

Your argument is patently false and only gains any traction by ignoring the supposition "all else being equal."

Does the player gain security by adding the intermediate step of having his money held in a 3rd party account as opposed to wagering directly from his wallet?  OBVIOUSLY NOT, SOLVE BY INSPECTION!  Once again, surely you can't be so daft as to suggest otherwise.

You can say that a post-up book may effectively approximate the ad hoc approach by shifting onus to the player to request payouts after completion of each wager.  This only increases his relative risk by creating a barrier of inconvenience and tacitly grants that the post-up model is inherently less secure.

This is not an attack on your book.  (I have plenty of other things to criticize for that purpose.  )  It is an argument from basic reason on a topic which is ultimately unimportant.

Thanks for the sentiment.  I've been stiffed for much more several times.  It was a likely outcome with this operator, I understood that risk.

Ceteris paribus, the Blockbet.net model is obviously safer for players than posting funds.  Surely you are not asserting otherwise.

I PM'd him, emailed him, and sent messages via his site.  He did not respond.  You can see from his forum account that he hasn't logged on here since locking the Blockbet.net thread.  I gave him a few days to respond or settle before reporting.

I posted to the scam forum.

From my amateur sleuthing of blockexplorer, I noticed he did pay some smaller bets on Saturday.  It's pretty common in the sportsbook world to stiff only the largest players for obvious reasons.

As I said above, I'm DOWN over 100BTC betting with him.  Based on what I see of his action from the address histories, I was overwhelmingly his largest gambler.  This is absolutely not a case of him just going broke from getting beat and running away.  He flat out stole the coins.

Probably to start his exciting new Bitcoin opportunities!  Yay anonymity!
