Matchbook leaving the US

chance · 03-01-11, 02:40 AM

Not much choice left you US based gamblers. You can count your options on one hand.

Made for some interesting sweats...

That's fun when it wins, not so fun when it loses

What is DC and AMX?

KGambler · 03-01-11, 02:54 AM

DC and AMX? Not 100% sure because I wasn't paying much attention to those posts. But since he's talking about ************, I assume that is what he meant.

KGambler · 03-01-11, 02:55 AM

haha, I wrote out the full names and it put the abbreviations. d e b i t and a m e x

I know they censor and for good reason. I meant d-i-s-c-o-v-e-r and the other one you wrote.

On no more matchbook

vividjohn45 · 03-01-11, 03:51 AM

hey JJ? if a guy lives in Vegas. but can't make a bet in a euro market. that means i am not a professional.

what? are vegas books, turds? only amatuers and dill weeds would bet in one of them. huh?

and you say online is professional. but look at two of the books we are talking about here. wsex and MB. they online. i don't see vegas books slow paying out their amatuers.

they are rapid fire to payout a limit wager to any amatuer who would studiply place a wager with them. and not place a wager in a euro market online.

whatever dude. please get a clue.

u do not need a euro book to make money in sports. wagering. i've gone 11-2 the last 2 days in nba and cbb. and this is already money in the vegas bank account..

vividjohn45 · 03-01-11, 03:53 AM

i suppose i mite of made a few more bucks, arbing a B2B. in a asian market that is platforming with a euro betfair. ingame.

vividjohn45 · 03-01-11, 03:56 AM

straight up JJ gold. and i've told you this before. Vegas and guys in Vegas, don't give a **** about offshore markets.

its a moderate consideration. at best.

we got the guns here and the big balls. so who the **** are you?

vividjohn45 · 03-01-11, 03:59 AM

i'll die and be buried in vegas, jj gold. and i'll never be buried on some gd betting platform serving chow mein arbs.

lunchbawks · 03-01-11, 04:03 AM

why is there 18 pages on this? MB is done for US customers, find a f-cking alternative

jjgold · 03-01-11, 06:04 AM

Any pro has accounts all over the world and is unaffected by laws in specific countries

If you bet in Vegas and call yourself a pro you have no clue what is going on in the world of sports betting

U could se how lines would move
U could se if there was a player injured before the books(not pinnacle) moved the line
Alot of nice things with matchbook if u followed the lines al day long

I mean those who regularly let you make good sized bets at better odds than Pinnacle on US sports

clueless!

Without access to exchanges, soccer becomes almost non-wagerable.

Books, many that advertise on SBR, are going to take a major hit in total volume across the board on all sports........those that believe volume will actually pick up at other shops because of what has transpired are sadly mistaken.

SBR themselves will be taking a major hit by what has transpiried through trickle down economics.

Hopefully an exchange for U.S. clients will start up shortly..............don't hold your breath.

KGAMBLER and SINK, thanks for your intelligent in IN THE KNOW posts in this thread........some will never understand how MB trully worked, but through your excellent writing, you are helping shed the light to a few of the less fortunate that did not understand it completely.

Fisher.....................Blackie is working fiercely on one

HOLD ON

BestPlay2day · 03-01-11, 07:23 AM

Shocked that MB would leave the US market, their going to lose most of their customers.

ASIA soccer(as well as other sports) punters are increasing dramatically every year and will continue for many years to come.........this is a great market to be tapped into.

bettilimbroke999 · 03-01-11, 07:37 AM

The new owners purchased MB and immediately eliminated 90% of its customers

, not exactly Harvard Business School grads apparently

As a well respectd poster across the street stated........

As of now, I have nothing +EV and for the first time in about 12 years, I am emptying my offshore accounts.

jjgold · 03-01-11, 08:29 AM

Fishhead is going back to the casinos

Grux · 03-01-11, 08:50 AM

I will have to keep an eye on betmaker.

For professionals but the recreational gambler can still play -105 at 5 Dimes.

macb · 03-01-11, 08:51 AM

sports handicapping in its essence is capper vs. opening number. learn how tt beat that and you still have +ev. you scalpers need to learn what real sports betting is about. back to learning boys.

What will fishhead do without matchbook. He is on suicide alert

.

These fukking degenerates like fishhead make me laugh. Guy sits in front of computer all day staring at matchbook lines. Now fishhead doesn't have a clue as to what to do with life.

I guess degenerates like fishhead will find another way to gamble. Casinos, here comes fishhead....the self proclaimed sharp who cannot hit 50% even if his life depended on it.

mtneer1212 · 03-01-11, 09:03 AM

We laugh and giggle about the US withdrawal of Matchbook, and frankly, it had limited appeal to me.........BUT.......

who will be laughing if a couple more large operations bail out like Greek or Bookmaker? Who will be laughing then? Don't celebrate Matchbook's demise too much if you are a Matchbook detractor......

I thought that about Pinnacle when they left, thought wrong. The sports gaming market is extremely resilient.

The guys that are hurt in this are the smaller books and locals who used MB as a risk shock absorber and the penny arb guys who would cut a penny or two from betting both sides of each game. Both groups play a part in the industry but neither is a critical component imo. MB's proverbial footprint in the sand will be washed away with little notice except for the two groups I mentioned.

.........not even 45%

But don't worry, was making a good living gambling before MB, and will continue to do so.

Ok, I can buy that.

Best of luck with SBR in the months and years ahead, you have a nice product here.

jjgold · 03-01-11, 09:09 AM

Pinnacle is bigger than ever worldwide
Lots of big markets still available to matchbook

Stop fukkin whinning guys and get off your fukkin asses if you want to play at matchbook still

Go do your homework...its real easy

goucla · 03-01-11, 09:19 AM

angtank · 03-01-11, 12:04 PM

It's not the end of the world but it is sad we are running low on options.
