Unless they ban Americans at Matchy too...

The Pinnacle take over thing is a rumour.

Common sense would say that given Pinnacle's attitude towards forums and confirmation and their having a lack of desire to be in the American market, it will stay a rumour. Which is fine, who cares as long at they run a tight ship and pay on demand.

Say it aint so PEEP!

I am about to leave in a 1 hr and part of my morning routine is to always check SBR on my way out,so imagine my complete surprise (and delite) to hear that Pinny as taken over MATCHBOOK!!!

Finally all the nonsense that have been going on with them over the past little while will come to a end,maybe they might grab WSEX also.
I said it before and will say it again the anti-internet gambling law will be reverse by year's end or shortly after!!!.PINNACLES as been scared sh.tless of the U.S. government because of all the money they have invested in the states,there is no way they are going to be responsible for matchy if they are going to be butting heads with the government and how can they take over Matchy and pull the rug from under their own feet by barring Americans?

bet with your head, not over it

Nicky Santoro · 11-03-09, 06:00 PM

been getting paid like clockwork at matchy the last week.. i think it's safe to say that they are SAFE for now..

Speculator said on this thread that Pinnacle has a lot of money invested in the United States. How does he know this and is this just speculation? If it is not I would like to know what they have it invested in. If they have too much in the states then that is bad for the future of Pinnacle.

You ask way too many questions.

The owners of pinnacle are from the USA. They decided they'd prefer to give up their USA business than spend the rest of their lives on the run from the USA gov't. They can now travel freely to the USA and have USA assets without worrying about being arrested like every other offshore book owner.

And I'm sure people will be lining up to tell you.

Maybe if I say GOD purchased matchbook everybody will go nuts and believe it?

"HELL yes god will pay us on time"

Heck maybe the Easter bunny just bought them...

Instead of checks your going to receive Easter eggs for payment (I personally hope if this is true that they send Reeses peanut butter cups in the shape of an egg, I'm just sayin)...

Come on people grow up

The only real question you should be concerned with is "Is Matchbook paying on time?"

Stop going into a panic or believing every thing you hear on forums most of it is bull shit...

You risk causing people to make a run on the book and risk ****ing up a good thing... WHY?

MatchBook is a solid operation IMHO, until they actually give YOU reason to believe otherwise why the heck speculate on what is going on behind closed doors when nobody who actually knows will ever post anything about it on any forums... Seriously

Latest rumours/truths/take it for what it is worth are

1) They were bailed out 50 cents on a dollar by some of the principals of Pinnacle.
2) If they didn't get bailed out, postup funds were at risk as well.
3) Dave M was a big part of the problem, owing 10 million he couldn't pay.
4) The watchbook sites sat on this information.

that has to be false, 10 million? would matchbook offer a 10+ million credit line to anyone?, let alone someone who doesnt have a clue. dave m would have to be idiot, how could you lose 10 million being a market maker?
