In its time, Bitbet was clearly the best of its breed. Don't know of an imitators at all that merit any mention |

Well, there was the one heathen offering that died when they shilled the BFL bet as a yes because they offered Luke-JR something to ssh into |

None of the surviving heathen offerings do the clean parimutual pile of money versus pile of money wagering. All clones of "sportsbook" or retarded prediction markets. |
