Nothing inside Matchbook's NBA?

If this list of sportsbooks based on traffic is accurate, Matchbook needs more visitors!!! Let's go Matchbook!!!

I really wish there were more volume. I like the site, it is so easy to use and easy on the eyes.

Matchbook's NBA is generally much more liquid than its NCAAB, but it almost always looks like a ghost town before about 11AM Eastern. By midafternoon there should be at least 2-5K on each side of the main propositions.

I've been waiting for good odds for the NBA games at Matchbook but there is nothing (odds) that can be better than Pinnacle, Mansion or even Betdaq.

Its an exchange, if you want odds put up your money and the odds you want.

This of course should have been the first thing I said in response. But I didn't.

Sometimes I feel, so . . . . American.

Matchbook would get more betters if they didn't make it nearly next to impossible to deposit money. Until they come up with better methods, their customer base won't grow.

In the hour before gametime I can generally move 4 figures in and out of a game at Matchbook.

Gambler excellent point, funding is a problem at all books right now.

gambler77 · 03-06-07, 03:17 PM

jj, true but books like TheGreek make it a lot easier.

That's more like it. More volume right now.

Regarding "deposit" options for matchbook, what options are left for US players?

I was going to suggest e-gold (like what 5dimes does) but I remember that e-gold recently created a this:

"e-gold has deployed a feature whereby any e-gold account holder may configure their e-gold account(s) to block incoming e-gold Spends from accounts controlled by Users residing inside the United States or who are accessing the Internet from within the United States. Online gambling businesses using e-gold are now required to enable this new account attribute."

To be frank you should not be let anywhere near an exchange, if you want odds you should ALWAYS ask for one tick up, if you cant work out how to ask for odds you should not use an exchange.

Thanks for the advise but I know what I am doing. If you notice my post, this was the previous day's wherein there were only a few "posted" at matchbook. Today is a different story. Your answer is a day too late.

Cheers!

You can get action at Matchbook later in the day on any NBA game at decent odds, no matter what; you're only in trouble if the game is one where Matchbook is leaning the wrong way. Offer something fair and you'll usually get action. Offer to pay the (reduced) vig yourself, and you can get giant amounts filled. There might only be a few thousand per side up at a time but push this market and you'll quickly find out just how liquid it is.
