Please note that Matchbook does not yet support Firefox 3.0.

"Matchbook will support Firefox 3.0 soon after the release of Firefox 7.0"

Firefox 3.0 has only been available for a year now.
Why can't matchbook fix things so that the best browser available to PC users works with their site?

[Matt Rain]

In my experience, it works fine with Firefox 3.0 - only the cashier doesn't work.

MAtchbook has the worst software in INTERNET history

MAtchbook has the worst software in INTERNET history

It's not the worst but has had enough time to function with FireFox 3 I'd say. FireFox does have a different version coming out every so often but it's still what a majority of folks like to use.

[Matt Rain]

I agree, it's clunky and it often does weird stuff (freezes, displayed odds not always reflecting what's really there, etc.)

I wish they'd come out with an API à la Betfair and let 3rd parties develop standalone interfaces. As it is, it's very easy to make a mistake and place a stupid bet when you're in a rush.

[jjgold]

I refuse to play there because of lousy layout and bet histories,ect

Americans need this book. This is the only book that can not only replace but BEAT pinnacle on MLB, NBA, and NFL sides, totals, and ML's.

Its not hard to have internet explorer and firefox on your computer at the same time.

I've been delaying the update to firefox 3 because of matchbook.
I'm curious to hear if others besides Matt are using firefox 3 with matchbook.

[Santo]

I found it was freezing more under FF3, but I do use it one of my laptops. My main PC I have FF2 and FF3 installed in different folders.

[Dark Horse]

I have FF 3 and no problem at all with Matchbook. The only feature that doesn't work is the cashier, but easy to switch to IE for that. They do need to get that updated, though. Seems cheap not to.

I have a mac, they told me to download some browser named camino.

If you could get money in and out of the book easily,I would love matchbook.But once you start having problems with bank drafts,you are screwed.It is unreal this company can not get moneygram as a means of deposit and withdrawal.I am using book to book transfer,which is a incredible waste and a real pain.The volume and liquidity seems to have fallen to the worst I have ever seen it on matchbook.

anybody remember betbug??????? alot of exchanges out there have gone out of business,I just hope matchbook can resolve these funding issues soon.Doesnt look like they are moving real fast though

[tomcarter]

Another exchange bites the dust.tradesports shuts down tomorrow.I really hope matchbook gets this funding issues resolved soon,I am basically stuck with ehorsex and matchbook and both seem to really poor lately in terms of volume

[Keith Richard]

It's almost 11 A.M. and no 1st half lines on Turkey games yet. First game tips off at 12:30.

I agree. MB is really dragging their feet on funding methods. They don't even answer the phone ( at noon EST).

I can't even recommend them anymore.

[WileOut]

Look at the posters poll at the top right taken in August. Matchbook was the #1 ranked book/exchange by SBR posters.

[Doug]

they've gone down faster than a fat kid on a smartie since then !

[Santo]

Not really, I think they'd still easily be at the top, or top 3 at least.

I have to agree.

To the people who are saying matchbook would still be highly rated, I agree as well.I am not saying matchbook doesn't still have great lines,but the point is the funding and withdrawal issues are effecting volume and liquidity and ,in the end,these are what exchanges survive on.

How hard is it to get moneygram or ** as providers.I use ehorsex and they have it.I just don't want to see matchbook go the way of tradesports,betbug,etc.. and so many other exchanges I have used over the years.

Matchbook has declined drastically over the past few months in terms of lines ,customer service and most importantly methods of funding.bank draft has always been my preferred choice but it is not possible to use either of my banks now.

I would love to see sbr have more stories on exchanges in the states and their business outlook,its really amazing to me how in the states you have so few choices for exchanges .

[Dark Horse]

I agree.

Must be fashionable to bash MB.

it amazes me how many gamblers can go to western union to send cash, but can't figure out how to send a bank wire

[tomcarter]

it amazes me how many gamblers can go to western union to send cash, but can't figure out how to send a bank wire

I have used bank wires in the states and europe for years and never had a problem until months ago,this may be only with my federal and state credit unions but even last time I used bank of america I had to deal with a tracer on a 2,000 wire.A one month long fiasco

If its because of security concerns or its because of changes within credit union regulations I don't know, but the paperwork has really changed on wires in the last few months .

I would like to hear if other people in the states are having problems with bank wires.

My main concern is not with the lack of bank wire options,I use ehorsex and I have no problem with them,its the volume and liquidity questions I am primarily concerned with at matchbook.If you dont have moneygram or ** as options you are really limiting your customer base.

My posts are not meant as a slam at matchbook really,I love the lines at the book but I have seen this happen before.

In europe it was concerted attempt by larger exchanges to wipe out smaller ones,here in america there are few exchanges left to wipe out.

I would love to see an article or any input on anyone who monitors matchbooks liquidity rates on how they are doing.I may be wrong and they may be doing great,I really don't know.

[durito]

Bank of America should be avoided, they have had wire issues for sometime.

There is a large US bank that's been in the news frequently this past week that allows online bank wires. To matchbook takes one click and one day. No problems.

[tomcarter]

Thanks durito ,I think I know who you are talking about.I will look into that.This has been a real hassle over the past few months.
