The current price is technically still 0. Post your wallet and I'll send you some.

Re: BitBet Stole ~$7,000 from me (10 BTC)

I certainly trust BitBet to resolve bets correctly.
Look at the history of the BFL and BitFury bets. Plenty of noise from users that were clearly wrong (and on the BitFury bet, it made me lose, so…).


Bitbet pay you to defend them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240677.0 , so your arguments are not impartial.

I'm not going to stop until we get our money back.
You're just going to gain a reputation of blackmailing services that do not owe you anything, like your friend snackman. Good job!

What you do not understand is that acting like a retard and going all "theft", demanding things that are not yours anymore, are only making things worse.
If I was running BitBet, you can be sure I would never give anything to you, in fear of encouraging more scammers like you to act that way. If it was asked nicely, in a "I made a mistake" way? I would immediately refund you, minus the usual fee.

I asked nicely, in various emails and I waited patiently. I'm not a rude person. They rejected to refund me all times.
Do you expect me to just accept the situation and to be quiet? I'm defending my money like you would do.

I'm in contact with a lawyer right now - I'll keep you updated. What other sites run BitBet banners/ads?

Coindesk.com have two articles mentioning bitbet as betting site (u can try to search there in home page). Would be interesting if they know how bitbet works in reality.

Also, I'm going to talk with some friends to write an article in their blogs about this case, and ask them to propagate it in facebook and twitter.

Did u know? if u google for bitbet , this thread is showed in 4th position.

Man, the entire world is going to know how they are. I'm not going to stop until we get our money back.

Now Bitbet have a good opportunity to use the common sense , refund the money, and change his betting rules to avoid this issue to happen again in the future.

If they didn't receive your money until after betting was closed, then you didn't purchase anything. Whatever is written in the rules can't take away your consumer rights. If they don't provide the service paid for or send a refund it's just theft. There not protecting anyone by keeping the money, just lining there pockets.

The service is GAMBLING.  GAMBLING is risky.  When bets are time average weighted you must discourage late bets.  Why?

Masses of idiots like you would spam the blockchain at the last possible second when the bet outcome is known, for even a 1% winnings.  This screws early bettors and creates 95% of the work for bitbet admins for 5% of the customers.  The same 5% of childish people that bitbet is discouraging, because they are the worst kind of customers.   

This OPEN discouragement of late betting is clearly explained as such, in the faq. 

You're telling me you went and sent 10btc, at the time, ~$8,000, without even reading the faq? And you're blaming others for this oversight?

Gambling is risky but the risk is supposed to be in losing the bets and not getting screwed by the site operator. Having a rule that payments must be confirmed before a bet is resolved to count is perfectly reasonable. Having a rule that refunds of such payments are subject to a small convenience fee (since it may require manual intervention to refund) is also perfectly reasonable. Having a rule that says bets don't count up to X minutes before a bet is resolved is also reasonable.

A price of almost $750 is not $750 though, so unless the bet was placed after the price actually crossed $750 then I don't think it's an exploit - the outcome was still in doubt even if the doubt was very small. Regardless, keeping 100% of the money is stealing, and a wave of people from BitBet IRC chat saying otherwise doesn't change that.

A FAQ is for when people have questions, it's not a must-read for casual users who want to make sure they don't get screwed by awful policies. Even actual must-reads like terms and conditions you must agree to before using a service do not give you the right to steal.

OP, I hope you contact a lawyer if the site continues to refuse to refund you. I bet a judge would see this as stealing, but running this by a lawyer would be the best way to be sure. You're out a significant chunk of change so I believe it could easily be worth it, and you'd be doing the bitcoin community a service.


+1.

I encourage bitbet to resolve this issue. If not, maybe they will end paying x10 times what they have took.

So if BitBet clock shows 10:45, what time is it on arbitrary bet #6705's clock?


If bitbet says: bet closed at 10:45 (bitbet time) , then all bets confirmed and received from 10:15 (bitbet time) to ahead would be cancelled and refunded. What's the problem with that?

This could be solved easily I think . Their rules could include this for ex: all bets entered 30 minutes before bet outcome is known will be cancelled and refunded with a 1%.

Timing does not work in Bitcoin the way you intuitively imagine it would.

In fact the reason the blockchain even exists in the first place is that timing and synchronicity issues have no easy solution.

I'm not referring to bitcoin or blockchain timing. I talk about bet closed time in bitbet.us. If they just reject those last 30 minute (even confirmed) bets, I think this will keep away cheater's bets and scammers.
I'm sure there's solutions. But seems like they like the actual betting system.

Is it? I'm not an expert on betting, correct me if I'm wrong.
But seems like they prefer to steal the money.

and FAQ says:

http://bitbet.us/faq/#152
What if I bet after the bet has been satisfied, but before it is actually closed?
Your bet will be refunded, minus BitBet's 1% fee.

Our bets were done BEFORE the bet was closed.

Sore loser or legit claim?

Legit claim. Was a winning bet (a Yes) submitted before closing (like 1 hour before, don't know exactly). Was not confirmed at time.
. But I agree with a 1% fee refund. Seems like they will take all the money though.

On a positive note, you were smart enough to send a small amount when you hadn't read the faq.  Well done.

It's abusive . Do you think it's fair to keep all your bet just because it was not a confirmed tx in time?

Let's say a newbie guy bets 100 btc and they took all the money in the same way. Is it admissible? I think they love when we make those 'mistakes'.

And the FAQ clearly says:
What if I bet after the bet has been satisfied, but before it is actually closed?
Your bet will be refunded, minus BitBet's 1% fee.

http://bitbet.us/faq/#152

That's the case of the 10 btc and 0.20 btc bet, but they don't want to refund.

Why do you want a refund if you indeed won the bet Sad

I mean, it was a bet for YES, and YES won, but my bet was cancelled because was not confirmed before ending. And they don't want to refund.

The bet was submitted before betting was closed.
This is the tx:

It's only 0.20 btc, but I just want my money back.
