    Will WALKER make a push for MATCHBOOK to serve the USA again?

    Let's hope The Wizard can pull this off.

    BAUS disagrees with you, as does Larry down at Silverton.

    Matchbook can save this dying industry in America...............they are the leading hope at this time.

    I would very much doubt it.

    In the last year, SBR has ceased allowing US players from converting betpoints into sportsbook cash or even buying/selling points (which are options for all non-US players). This would suggest they are more (not less) wary of the US legal situation.

    Think of all the money Americans could put back into the economy from winning at banned sportbooks. US gov fails again.

    I don't recall saying they'd be back in the USA market. Although they could be a lot more user friendly (with new currency options especially) they are still a valuable service, one that I'm sure many US bettors wish they could use.
