this post is BS, and should be called out for it.

I've never had a problem with payments, either lately or in the past and I'm not even close to a small player. please just give us ONE EXAMPLE of these "traders" that aren't being paid. just one example...

all of the SBR/matchbook stuff is innuendo that started CURIOUSLY when matchbook stopped advertising here many months ago.

if you're going to try to scare people off of matchbook at least provide concrete information not this "ive been hearing" or "i would guess" stuff.

as to the original post, I would say the simplest answer is the best answer: the economy sucks and people have less money to wager/devote to wagering.
