■ A note on where the site went
GOSUBETTING is being rebuilt from the ground up. Everything that was here has been taken down on purpose — including my own reviews. Most of it was written to fill a page rather than to answer a question, and several pages claimed a payout had been tested without showing a single figure to prove it.
What replaces it is narrower and harder to fake. I deposit my own Bitcoin at every book I cover. I place real bets before withdrawing — sometimes one, sometimes ten. Then I cash out without warning and publish the timings with transaction IDs. Rankings will follow those measurements and nothing else — and no review will go live until there is a test behind it.
The first test is done — see the ledger. The site reopens when there is enough measured data to be worth reading.
One email a month: every test I run, what got faster, what got slower, which books started demanding documents.

What is changing
What a test looks like
I open a normal account like anyone else and fund it myself. No press accounts, no contact with the operator, no pre-loaded balance. Then I bet — sometimes once, sometimes ten times — before asking for the money back.
Every request, delay and document demand gets recorded, including the ones that make a book look good and the ones that do not.
This test is finished. 8 withdrawals have been timed so far. See the payout ledger
Coming back
Usually five matches a round, four rounds a challenge, one challenge a month, no stake, no deposit anywhere. Ten points for the exact score, five for the right goal difference, two for the right winner, plus one for each team's goal count you get right. The board is public, and the record stays up permanently. Sixty-four rounds ran before the rebuild, with 11,642 picks from 137 players, and the archive is being imported round by round. Of those 64 rounds, 18 still have their round records intact; for the other 46 the picks and standings survive but the round data does not — that gap is being rebuilt from the results themselves.
Questions, corrections, or a payout story
I read the Bitcointalk thread daily and answer there. If a book has treated you badly — or unexpectedly well — tell me and I will test it myself.
