    I bet it would be, just take a look at Betfair and how stacked that site is.

As I've said, We're not looking to do this half heartedly and doing it right means making certain that our technology will be ready to handle the workload. We;re looking to put up some free contests, hopefully for the Super Bowl, and definitely for March Madness. Stay tuned. CatPulp: I've been living in Costa Rica for the past two years now, Manhattan is but a cherished memory.
    Thanks for clearing that up Ganchrow. I just hope you accept US members when the site is finally up and ready. You must also have taken into consideration your status as an American who will be running a "gambling" establishment. I would hate to see you go through the same troubles as Stephen Kaplan, the founder of BetonSports.

    Are you planning on running the site(I'm assuming illegal)? Or are you planning on selling it? When do you think it will be ready? US customer's welcome?

    Suggestions:
    -Go all out on props: I've always dreamt of a place where I could bet weird shit like "who will win PTI today?"
    -Personalized screen names would be awesome. If allowed by SBR, a "unhide user name" would be an awesome feature that would bring some rivalry to SBR.
    -JJ's idea of offering buyouts would be sweet.
    -Optional vig-free $5 buy-in lotteries every day or week.

    How exactly will this work if you sell the site though? Our suggestions will only be good if an SBR member runs the site. Look at matchbook. They never take anyone's advice. I think you could listen to our suggestions and make this site INCREDIBLE. Keep up the good work.

    Isn't this what MB has/had before the market makers dried up (live betting)? If so, keep the pointspread/total the same throughout the game. This is a must but needs real liquidity/market makers.

    A real exchange has a close feature

    Well Betfair does not even have a close feature, you need to bet other side and try and get a scalp

    Hope this turns out good. Matchbook has been a ghost town the last couple days in-play.

    Matchbook, IBM, Coke & Pepsi are all great topics for the XXXXXXXX College Football Forum.
