    There seems to be a general consensus that if you want to place a sports bet with bitcoin then Nitrogen Sports or Bovada are your best options. I'm wondering which of these sportsbooks you guys prefer and why?

    Personally I like to bet in-play so I tend to use Bovada a little more. You can only find in-play betting for major leagues like the NBA or NFL at Nitrogen Sports, while Bovada pretty much offer lines on everything.

    For a full rundown of all their features you can read our Bovada Sportsbook Review or Nitrogen Sports Review.

    If Bovada still puts you through a KYC procedure then my vote is with Nitrogen Sports. If I'm only using btc to deposit and withdraw then why does any sportsbook need to know my name and where I live.

    Bovada does not accept sports bettors from Maryland, Nevada, Delaware, New York, and New Jersey. If you live in any of these states then Nitrogen Sports is obviously a better choice for you.

    I like Nitrogen because lines are up early and they don't them like they do at Bovada.

    They need to improve on their in-play betting however. It's difficult to find 2nd half lines for NBA games for example.

    Bovada also lacks two-step authentication so if you are very security conscious then maybe Nitrogen Sports is a better option.

    Betting coverage of the Rio Olympics has been pretty poor at Nitrogen Sports. It's still best to use traditional sportsbooks like 5Dimes and Bovada or these types of events.

    Nitrogen have less props but the lines are better in my opinion.

    For popular U.S. sports like the NFL, the lines sit at -105 in comparison to -110 odds you will find at most online sportsbooks. These type of saving quickly add up so I'm increasingly using Nitrogen Sports theses days.

    Nitrogen Sports ran a Super Bowl promotion that gave away 5BTC to 5 different users who tweeted their betslips. I don't think Bovada ran any special offers or promotions for the Super Bowl, which is pretty bad for a sportsbook of their size.

    If fast payouts are important to you then Nitrogen Sports wins hands down. If I withdraw less than 1 BTC it's usually in my wallet within 10 minutes.

    Bovada have recently added a racebook to their Android and iPhone compatible app so if you're a fan of horse race betting then Bovada might be a better option.

    CloudBet have really upped their games this year and I've found myself using them more than Nitrogen Sports over the past couple of months because their in-play betting service is far superior. They've also resolved issues with slow grading that plagued them for the past couple of years. Hopefully they will keep improving because competition is good for everyone.

    To mark the beginning of the 2017/2018 NFL season, Nitrogen Sports are running an NFL Survival Pool that you can join for free and win more than 0.5 BTC if you can pick a winning team each week.

    Nitrogen Sports have banned players from the UK, Ireland, Russia and a few other countries so I guess if you live in any of those places, Bovada would be a better option.
