Just went offline.......hope you didn't have offers up.

d2bets · 10-31-10, 12:25 PM

I was literally in the process of cancelling an offer....no clue if it is/was cancelled. I would assume so. I am 100% positive it wasn't accepted before it went down, wasn't even anything anyone would take at that time.

Probably

This cannot keep happening. Live betting book needs to have the BEST software, not the WORST.

JJ, as a player advocate, you need to call and hammer them.

MortalLock · 10-31-10, 12:38 PM

Yep its down child please

AlwaysDrawing · 10-31-10, 12:39 PM

annoying as hell, especially on a Sunday

d2bets · 10-31-10, 12:41 PM

What are the odds they'll be back up by halftimes?

pokernut9999 · 10-31-10, 12:47 PM

And people say they are the only book you need .

ronald · 10-31-10, 12:47 PM

I have a feeling that Matchbook will be getting a call from Webber in the coming days. He has been holding the books accountable as of late.

Can't imagine anyone would say that. No ONE book would ever be enough.

at least we can't complain that it went down at a bad time.. it was after all games started. can you imagine if it was 1243 pm and you are a scalper and you played the other side elsewhere for 5k apiece and now you're waiting for your 7 games to get matched for 5k each and then site goes down? you now have 7 bets for 5k each.. and you still wouldn't know if some of your bets were matched or not. you'd only find out when site comes back up.

. because the worst part is you don't know if you have action or not, so you dont know if you should play them elsewhere.. you might end up with double bets if you do..it's fukkin scary. why won't they have an emergency site up.. we need one badly. if matchy ever goes down at the wrong time, it can kill your whole year.

jjgold · 10-31-10, 12:54 PM

Ok I will go crazy on them in a video on a slow day

You would have to be a glutton for punishment to be playing that heavy in there with post up funds or never heard of forums.

Fishhead · 10-31-10, 12:56 PM

Excellent point Nicky......one should always have enough at some other book to at least cover most of these losses, an insurance back-up.

Will still take a loss, but losing 2,000 is much better than possibly losing 25,000..................

d2bets · 10-31-10, 12:58 PM

Weird....WSEX had also been down, but now they're back up, yet Matchy still suckin wind.

Excellent point and something to ALWAYS keep in mind when laying action off at Matchbook.

The problem is you don't always know if some of your outstanding offers were accepted or not, so if you lay the action off an another book you may have laid it off twice! Matchbook NEEDS to fix this problem.

Yeah. I do a lot of scalping there and might have to cut down some. Too much risk if they keep going down on a regular basis.

Not looking promising.

And why can't Matchbook come to the forums and explain what's going on? No communication.

It is definetly a scary position..............been in it more than once, as most have.

d2bets · 10-31-10, 01:08 PM

Anyone ever try to call Matchbook and/or have any success with that?

that's the problem. having other books for emergency won't help at all. if you have 7 bets for 5k waiting to get matched, you won't know what has been matched and what hasn't. it's not like we can check our pending wagers..

we will be stuck because if 2 of the 7 were matched, we won't know and if we play all 7 bets elsewhere, we can end up with 5k too much on one side, etc. we are fukked.. big time..

there has to be a back up site.. we need one.

Kaps · 10-31-10, 01:08 PM

halftimes are goin to start soon ....what a horrible time to go down on a sunday

Kaps · 10-31-10, 01:10 PM

This type of open orders exchange really needs a mirrored solution. They are not completely fail proof but pretty close. They would need to duplicate all their servers in a another location, in a different part of the world in case of a natural disaster. Both server farms would write live but if one went down the other would seamlessly serve. Its not as important at a sportsbook but an exchange its more like required.

Nicky Santoro · 10-31-10, 01:22 PM

i feel lucky now because at 115 pm, i came so close to putting up the 4 pm offers and then decided to wait..thank god because if they don't come back up by 4 pm games, i would have been fukked soooo badly..if we played other side, and now, what would happen if we had three 7k bets open and would not know if they were matched..now what?? would we play it elsewhere?? no, because what if 2 of the 3 were matched?? you see, we would never know till the site comes back up, which could be tomorrow..
so we might have to go to bed having no idea if we lost 21k today, or won 21k or broke even. it's scary..

Kaps · 10-31-10, 02:16 PM
