<h2 id="h-how-bitcoin-works-at-betonline">How Bitcoin Works At BetOnline</h2>



<p>This is a unique "cryptocurrency" indeed, in the sense that it operates not only as money but also as a protocol. And as a player, you can find a great deal of usefulness both ways.</p>



<p>These are transactions that are made on a peer-to-peer basis, with no reliance on a third party or a financial institution. As a result, you don't have any banks nosing in one what you are doing. And you aren't "geo-tracked" either.</p>



<p>So it has really become a "way to go" for sports betting and casino gambling enthusiasts.</p>



<p>There are a number of ways to acquire Bitcoin. You can open up an account at a regulated exchange and "trade" that way. You can do the "peer-to-peer" thing, executing transactions other individuals who are using Bitcoin.</p>



<p>You might also be able to find a Bitcoin ATM to buy the currency using cash. It won't be an anonymous transaction, but it can be convenient, if you find one of them in your area (check out CoinATMradar.com to find locations). PayPal is now integrating with services like Coinbase. You can also use a number of other methods, including gift cards.</p>



<p>Regardless of the way you acquire BTC, you are going to need a "Bitcoin Wallet." This is essentially where you store your Bitcoin and the vehicle through which you would conduct your transactions.</p>



<p>Getting one is very easy. You can go through the iPhone App Store or Google Play to download one into your smartphone. Or, you can type "Bitcoin wallets" into Google and find a number of different services of high quality.</p>



<p>Once you do all this, how do you make your transaction with <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/betonline-btc"><strong>BetOnline</strong></a>?</p>



<p>Well, again it's relatively simple. You will go to the "Cashier" for methods of deposit and choose "Cryptocurrency." From there you click "Bitcoin," which will take you to the next screen. Just enter the amount you want to deposit, along with whatever promo code you may be using (more on that in a minute) and then click another button that says "Deposit Now."</p>



<p>You're going to see a long address that you will right-click and copy. That is the Bitcoin address at BetOnline where you are going to send the funds. Then you open your <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/top-5-bitcoin-sports-books/">Bitcoin</a> wallet and, well "Send Funds" to that address. Just "paste" it where they ask you to. This can also be used (if you are using a desktop) with a QR Code.</p>



<p>Once you have gone through this easy process, your account will be credited quickly, usually anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours.</p>



<p>And you need to know ahead of time that you are going to be rewarded. These good folks want your Bitcoin business, and to show you they are absolutely for real, they offer a 100% First-Time Crypto Bonus. That's 100% on your first deposit when using a cryptocurrency (they also accept Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Dash and Litecoin).</p>

<p>Requirements and restrictions on deposits using Bitcoin are very user-friendly. You must put at least $20 worth in and can deposit as much as $500,000 at once (if you've got that kind of "coin," God bless you).</p>



<p>Withdrawals can be processed as quickly as an hour (that's FAST), you can withdraw as much as $25,000 at one time ($20 minimum).</p>



<p>And there no transaction fees associated with these Bitcoin transactions.</p>

In the poker game most <a href="http://betanysports.eu/btb50/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers might be familiar with on television, the player is sitting at a table and competing against all of the other players at that table. Decisions are made on the basis of what the player feels the other players may have in their hand, relative to his/her own.

Poker, when it is played in this way (whether it be in a physical setting or online), has a strong basis in psychology. Indeed, the player, to be successful, should have a command of the mathematics of the game as far as the probabilities of the hands are concerned, but most critical is the player's savvy, his/her instinct.

In this particular instance, the goal is not necessarily to compile the strongest hand, but to beat the other players at the table, by whatever means possible. When you think about it, the player can not do very much to improve a hand. In Texas Hold'em, for example, after the player is dealt two cards "in the hole," he or she must share three of the community cards that constitute the "flop.". After that, it is pretty much a wide-open proposition, dependent on the guts and wisdom players have at their disposal.

The house has no risk in this kind of game; it just takes a percentage, or rake, out of the pot (at BetAnySports, by the way, there is 50% Rakeback in the DragonRoom). The player is obviously not competing against the house, but against the other players. Therefore, in the long run, it is quite likely that the higher the overall skill level, the better chance of long-run success.

These characteristics make it quite a different game than the one known as "video poker" as it is played online, or in a brick-and-mortar atmosphere.

For one thing, most of the online poker you'll see is seven-card Texas Hold'em. Video poker is a game of five-card draw.

When you play a video poker game, one is not competing against any other opponent, but instead very clearly against the house. So instead of the odds being with or against the player on a constantly changing basis, the challenge involves going up against static odds on any given hand. The payouts for various winning hands are, naturally, relative to the probability of those hands coming out.

Consequently, a hand the player may have been able to win a pot with at a "regular" poker table is not going to work in video poker unless it is good enough to qualify for a payout. Conversely, if the player achieves three of a kind in video poker, that hand is going to be a winner, according to the pay table that is pre-determined by the casino. So it's not a situation where the player is going to get beat by someone else with a better hand, since there IS no one else.

Also, the video poker player can change the cards - all of them - if that is what he or she thinks is best. This is important, since it gives the player a greater degree of control and is a key component to implementing strategy.

You'll find all the video poker action you can handle at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, where they believe in giving you lots of choices - as in three different casinos you can play through your browser - the Grand, Jackpot and Bonus casinos, which all have different things to please you........And it's easy to get into the action; all you need is your debit/credit card, person-to-person transfer or the virtual currency of <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/top-5-bitcoin-sports-books/"><strong>Bitcoin</strong></a>, which is fast and easy with their automated system, and NEVER incurs a transaction fee!
