    FACT 2: I know MB doesn't display the volume of matched bets but when I've placed a bet there which exceeds what BF is showing as total matched bets on the event I think even an 8th grader would concede my point. Anyway all you need to do on most markets is look at the volumes on offer and you'd come to the same conclusion.

    yeah, fair question
    perhaps it's because I fear that if his nonsense isn't challenged then others might think he's on the right track

    An example today in NBA - Dallas @ Memphis
    @ Betfair +/- 2.5 total matched $582
    on offer $409 @ 1.91 and $108 @ 2.02 (101.9% market)
    @ Matchbook +/- 2.0 on offer $13,447 @ +103, $1,506 @ -105 and $11,872 @ -106 (3c line for $10k whichever side you want to bet)
    Pinnacle -103 / -107
    wonder what QQ's 8th grader would conclude from those numbers?

    even an 8th grader knows fact 2 is so wrong...so you are saying if IBM is being offered 100k at 200.50 per share that the volume is 100k?...a bid or offer is NOT volume...

    fact 1...you didn't say beta in your original tout that mb would offer multi currencies...

    fact 3...you won't waste time posting 1 trade of yours....but have plenty of time spewing mis information...

    don't they have are you smarter than a 5th grader down under???

    Please explain how "fact 2" could possibly be wrong when I have just placed a bet for say $1000 at Matchbook whilst Betfair is showing zero for matched bets.

    Posting my trades is totally and utterly irrelevant to the issue. I don't and have never claimed to be a big winner.

    no disputing fact 1...

    fact 2...ok we will take your word on it...but those who trade stocks know i am right.

    fact 3...it is ok to admit you are a paid poster for mb...maybe one day you will be a big weinner

    off to have some cereal b/f school...

    Betfair is not a pre game trading market period
    Betfair is a live game trading market
    Matchbook is a pre game trading market only
    Betfair blows away matchbook in American Sports also as far as live game wagering
    Add up all BEtfair money traded on an nba night vs pre gamer matchbook its not even close..Betfair is 20x++++MORE

    Depends what you want

    If your a looking for good odds pre game Matchbook is excellent although money all seeded

    Thanks JJ, that's all I've been arguing with that QQ nutter ... never disputed the live play issue ... in fact in other threads I've always said that Betfair slays the opposition for live betting .. unfortunately I can't use them for that. I only bet pre-game and Matchbook slays Betfair for US pro sports in that sphere.

    Betting at Matchbook is standard procedure for US pregame action . Take tonights NBA I've just had a quick peak on Matchbook Oklahoma -1 is 5 cents better than Pinny, and they are 7 cent better on the moneyline. Same goes for LA clippers -3.5 and and Miami -4.5(-101). Betfair has Miami -4.5 (-108) with $133 compared to Matchbook's $1000. Not bad at all !!
