Matchbook

[MonkeyF0cker]

The amount of liquidity on some of these markets is insanely low. MLB is supposed to be their bread and butter. If you look at some of their totals markets, they are extremely anemic. If you wanted to put only $500 on a total, there are only 3 offers over $513 at the market numbers out of 14 in the National League. And there is less than a half an hour before some of these games throw the first pitch. Amazingly bad. That place is in trouble. It has to be.

Monkey, don't worry pal, Blackie from Rebatewager will be opening an exchange (this fall) that will finally put Matchbook out of its misery.

Apparently Blackie knows his stuff and is a swell guy.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Haha. That will flop. And I'll be glad to see it.

 

[Mudcat]

You're right - the liquidity is poor. I have been in denial about it and telling myself it doesn't mean anything but it is not good.

I haven't had funds there since January. I only used it for hedging anyway. Any place giving 7 figures in credit to the shrink and lenny is doomed for failure.

I pulled out long ago because of the inability to use anything but the crashing USD. Was already wary since learning that they were offering credit, which makes no sense at all with their super low commissions. There's not a chance in hell that the default rate amounts to less than their earnings-minus-overhead.

Dead Book Walking IMO.

monkey, what in the world are you talking about??? monkey, fishhead says matchbook is the best, so it has to be...IT FUCKING HAS TO BE!!!... monkey, fishhead is never wrong pal, whats wrong with you???

fuk

i have what is for me, a decent amount of money there

as your friend, do you guys really think there's a danger I'm gonna get stiffed?

 

[rito]

you'd know better, at sbr they say it's fine now, someone bailed them out.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I don't know that they're in imminent danger, but I can't imagine that they can survive forever with the amount of volume they seem to be doing now.

 

[rito]

wsex looks like they are done, i'm sure they'll get football deposits though

 

[Acid Joe]

I haven't put money into matchbook for a while..... I do have money there but it'll be gone now that the twins were a complete fuck up.

 

[MrX]

No imminent danger to the best of my knowledge.

 

[Acid Joe]

They have processed my last few transactions quickly. I'm waiting for Cobra to chime in because he almost strictly uses matchy for live betting.

 

[Mudcat]

I find Matchbook invaluable. I would be throwing away money - and lots of it - not to play there. Volume may be down somewhat but I still get most of my (reasonable) offers taken up. I have noticed no change in that.

I have had about 8 payouts this year and they have all been next day latest. A hell of a lot of books have been doing a hell of a lot worse than that.

If I stopped playing at places because there was some forum scuttlebutt about how they were in trouble there would be nothing left. I have been hearing it for years.

 

[Bread]

I have zero luck at Matchbook. My balances disappear in days. I gave up after the fifth time. And yes, I know I'm throwing away money...especially on MMA betting....but I just can't catch a break there like I do at any other place.
