it's not competition to matchbook, the commission structure is terrible compared to matchy

I'm looking forward to the exchange, especially if they also offer live betting exchanges.

That's the plan but they need customers

Not the case, unfortunately.

Exchanges live or die on volume and liquidity. The US facing market is simply not big enough to sustain more that one, indeed over the course of the last six months it has become increasingly clear that Matchbook´s liquidity is patchy at best.

The best hope in the long run is that Betfair´s involvement with US horse racing, leads to them entering your market. This exchange already has 50-100 times Matchbook´s volume overall. At this point I would still rate that as a longshot.

reason I don't play there is the commish.

HUH?????

You EARN commissions if you put up offers!!

Ok, but say one just wants to bet there like at other joints.......................

.....the COMMISSION only adds a couple cents to your play........for example...........

Always have a pen and notepad with you when using MB, if you lay 108-100 at -108.............jot down 109-99(which is basically 2 cents worse and will then be like laying -110).

THIS IS SO EASY...........AND THE BEST THING GOING OFFSHORE RIGHT NOW!!!!

jjgold · 03-09-10, 02:31 PM

It will just be a flop like all the other exchanges, why books try this is beyond belief. It has failed the last 7 years and will fail the next 7 years.
