    No big exchange based betting service

    There is endless possibilites with an exchange betting service, Yet none have ever really taken off. "For a long period of time"

    Why?

    Exchanges are difficult because more people care about bonuses and poker rather than price of sport bets.

    This is true. I have a friend who every single year deposits with same shit book because of a big bonus they'll offer just before football season. I've tried to explain why that's basically bullshit but he doesn't really care. Feels like the bonus is "free money". No surprise there's no interest in an exchange in the states

    bonuses are so lame. pretty much if you like bonuses you are a losing gambler. you have to rollover a crazy amt like no thanks

    exchanges do not work without successful marketmakers. otherwise all you get is crap prices you don't want. If big fish want to gamble with players - they just open their own shop and gamble. marketmakers only get the good off of the offers they put out there - they are their own mini sportsbook. Oh, btw, players that play on exchanges are pretty good - good price or pass types - they don't have to settle for a bad price.
