Gambling with bitcoins is just too easy and addicting. I'm not surprised it pulls in that much money.

I agree bitcoin based gambling is the best of the best!  Why?  Because anyone who's gambled online over the years knows what a pain in the ass it can be to get money OUT.  Never a pain to get money in but it's payouts that suck when you're trusting your money with some chump in Jamaica or Bolivia. 

Once upon a time http://www.sportsbook.ag/ (formerly sportsbook.com) failed to pay me a $2000 payout.  It was the most incredible run I've ever had.  I turned a $50 deposit into about $600 after taking 2nd in a big poker tourney. 

Then I hit the craziest bet of my life for about $700.  I'll never forget it.  Lakers favored by 7.5 at home over the Spurs back in the playoffs in '08.  Lakers are up 5.  Spurs take a shot with about 5 seconds to go and miss and Sasha Vujacic grabs the Spurs rebound and runs the entire length of the court and drills a meaningless 3 at the buzzer.  Not one other person on either team made it past half court because the game was basically over.  Spurs players were PISSED and got right up in his face.  He did it because the crowd was chanting for tacos which they got when that shot put the Lakers team total over 100 points.  It cost betters $100 million dollars.  I found a link about it

And yeah those fuckers never paid me a dime.  They sent me a bunch of checks that kept bouncing and giving me the run around when I'd call them.  They just kept redepositing the money back into my account and I lost it all eventually lol.  Oh well it was only $50 really. 

Flash forward to today and I'm using www.btcsportsbet.com
These guys are legit!  I was using them a ton during the basketball season earlier this year.  They've since upped their minimum bet to 1 bitcoin.  They sometimes take a few hours to credit you after a win so if the game is over and the bitcoins aren't there within a few hours don't sweat it, they'll pay ya.
