Matchbook leaving the US

[the sink]

I am not giving any advice...
Todd says that matchbook is dead and he told us to post screens of matchbook not being dead and I did.
Copy the link and it will work

I think that u don't really know anything about arbing...one month u may lose at matchbook and then the next month u may win 66 there. It is just that I have been unlucky this month and lost everything there and like I said the knew owners only allow 50k/30days when u deposit with moneybookers, that is why I have not made any bets since 18...

[Hareeba!]

OK guys put your dicks away.
Sink you say you posted screens but they are not working.
I do not contest what you say anyhow. I just doubt it. Seriously doubt it.
If you are continually cashing out $50k from books and experiencing no fall out, then that is awesome.
You are most fortunate.
The advice you are giving?
Well friend you are advising matchbook is thriving based on your bets alone.

Hareeba I ask nothing of your partner. Not anymore. Why waste each others time?
Seriously? You would contribute something useful if you could?
I am in no position to make it a condition? Of course I can't make it a condition.
But thankfully common sense already makes it a condition.

You can lead a horse to water.........but

you've lost me mate
no idea what you are expecting of me
my partner ?
all I've done in this thread is ask a couple of questions for which I've had to put up with more abuse rather than receive any reasonable answers and have words attributed to me that were just plain wrong
and then suggesting that you may be wrong in assuming Sink is other than an arber and he comes back to say that's all he does
and all you can do then is have another parting shot at me!

[djtrub]

Irishblood- would you mind pm'ing me the phone number you have for matchbook? thanks

[todd73nj]

What advice am I giving...?
He said matchbook is dead and I show that it is not...
And I only do arbs so the 66 I lose at one bookie i win at another

Sink, MB is not more than one offer book now. They are dead. You have the new management putting up almost the same dollar amount on each game. Outside of the NBA, and some major soccer, there is nothing. NHL dead. NCAA dead. MLB is 1/10th of what it was last year on MB.

Since the take over - there has not been a single MMer for a game left open live.

If for your purposes trading with the house works - thats great. But the strength of an exchange should be the financials because the house should be collecting commissions.

For all the winner and arbers (who should be net winners) that there are on this website. Which is everyone who posts right? Then you better hope this new management has very very deep pockets. Because no one is losing any money to them. So how long can that go on? They havent even given their old players their money yet.

Todd ("Betmaker is better than Matchbook in every way") has been proven over and over again to be so wrong on that point.

And now Irish Blood is looking pretty damn silly over his latest statements.

I gave you side by side info, Hareeba. All that you need to see the superiority of Betmaker. If you can make $$ on MB - you can make more on Betmaker. Bottom line.

Garbage stuff
And I told you that every real bet I was interested in making MB was a mile in advance of BM
Right now the only one I'm keen on playing, Yankees -1.5 at BM I can get $423 +122
Pinnacle has +120
MB has $9709 on offer at +126 and a few more dollars at +127
An absolute no-brainer!

Irishblood, Can you pm me MAtchbook's phone number. Thanks

It was a typo hareeba, it was meant to read "I ask nothing of you partner. Not anymore."
Not "I ask nothing of your partner. Not anymore." I apologize for that mistake.
"Partner" is a colloquial term, used much the same way as you might employ friend, or buddy.
I have tried to keep this as civil as I can.

Frankly anything you could interpret as an insult coming from me was mild indeed.
You have earned far worse.
Respect those around you and you will be respect in turn.

hareeba, the bottom line is you don't want answers. You want to argue.
This is plainly obvious in your posts.
I don't want to argue, I only came to lend my knowledge from my experiences.
Yet when I presented my side you continually shot it down, while others added my experiences to what they already knew.
That was my understanding of what this thread is about, to gain further knowledge of the situation facing USA players that were kicked off of matchbook.

By far the best thing you could do for this thread would be to leave.
It is clear you opinion is not valued or wanted here.
Why continue to distract from those who need help and information?

Do as you must hareeba, but please leave me out of your future post and I will do the same.

Thank You

you''ve got me all wrong partner
I certainly won't back away from an argument should I disagree with what is posted, particularly by the likes of that fool, Todd, but that is not my purpose at all.
If you look back at my history in this thread you will see it commenced with a simple question.
In response to that I received a torrent of abuse rather than a clear answer.
Then I raised another question regarding the payout of commission credits. I know what I first read said nothing about a restriction on them. Yet again that question drew more abuse than clarification.
Then I took issue with you over the conclusion you drew regarding Sink's betting. In the end I was proven to be correct.
Just show me precisely one thing I've posted here which justifies what you have said above.

djtrub and dialupking I would like to know how your attempts at contacting matchbook went.
I hope they went as well as it did for me.

Yes it went very well. She said there was a problem with the payment processor and that she would contact me tomorrow. I will update you guys tomorrow. Thanks again for the # irish.

I forgot - its about ONE single hand picked game - that you say you want to bet.

But in fact if you look at everything as a whole, Betmaker has better prices and liquidity than MB. I proveded all this info as screen shots.

So why dont you do the same. My point was proven. Of course there will be instances where MB is better than Betmaker, maybe 25% of the time. But from your handpicked games - it will be 100%.

Get off your hands and knees, and face the facts.

so now you too are calling me a liar ?!!

I am not going to waste time doing what you suggest.
It's quite ample evidence for me that when I do look to have a bet MB has so far proven to be a better option than BM.

[Hareeba!]

so very typical of those posters who enjoy dumping crap on me that every single time they are challenged to back up what they have said there is either total silence or nothing but another dump whilst totally ignoring the question.

Does anyone else hear that incessant buzzing? It is quite annoying. I'm trying my best to ignore it and focus on what is important.

[Legions36]

Damn all u matchbook hatters.

[Hareeba!]

The only way to take that response is as a concession by you that you are unable to back up your statements as I asked you to do.

Accordingly I await your retraction of them.

Do you only have 2 slow pay complaints as of right now?

I know a lot of people still have not been paid yet. I have not been payed and they didn't even bother to respond to my last two emails. I am going to file a complaint soon. I submitted my bank info March 4, so it's definitely been more then 30 business days.

Have you tried calling them?
I submitted on 2/28/11 then again the beginning of April.
They had lost the first submission and actually called me to initiate the second.

Following up a friendly email with a phone call was the only way I have been able to get a response to where I currently stand in line.

[katstale]

Am still enjoying good numbers at Match every day. I was worried abt the liquidity, but so far it seems pretty good. Now if they can capture some Asian market and a little Euro--they will be fine.

I know about 20 MB players. 6 have been paid. I have not been paid either.

Bottom line - MB promised 21 day payouts. If you requested on the last day, 3/31/11. Your payment is due today. 21 BUSINESS days. if you requested anytime before that you are being slow paid.

Lou,

If I may - Im curious as to these players that have been paid.

It seems that so many just in this thread say they have not been paid. My money was due 2 days ago I believe, But I am inclined to give them some leeway as I feel I will be paid eventually. Im sure many feel the same, and dont register slow pay complaints for that reason.

But as to those being paid - can you actually confirm that you know those accounts have been paid? Or are you going on what these players are saying? I know about 20 Matchbook players, as I operate my own website devoted to in game trading - and only 6 have been paid.

[Hareeba!]

You are nothing but a shill..

and once again, abuse .. but nothing evidencing I'm wrong in anything I've posted here

[djtrub]

I'm still waiting to be paid too. They said they would email or call me today once they heard from their payment processors but they never did. I guess I'll call them monday.

Hi Todd,

The tally in our Matchbook update is from players that actually wrote to SBR directly confirming their details.

Any player waiting on a Matchbook payment is encouraged to write to help@sportsbookreview.com or file a sportsbook complaint.

Im sorry, maybe I wasnt clear - but I do appreciate your response.

Can you actually confirm that those players exist? and ever played at MB? - or is it just someone - like me or Hareeba or anyone - who could write to help@Sportsbookreview.com and say "Hey, I just got a 5 figure payout!"

If for example DjTrub who two posts up says he has not been paid, comes out and says he got his money. Id feel a little better about it than just hearing that someone, who hasnt been posting here with us claims they got paid.

Sort of like hiring a company to conduct a review of your own restaurant.

[goombah]

I love Matchbook. And I want to thank whoever left St. Louis +149 up in in-game betting in the bottom of the 9th when they were up 3-2 over Atlanta.

[Igetp2s]

Everyone should be filing a complaint. They need to have their rating lowered. Matchbook obviously has put very low priority in paying out it's owed balance.

Their rating needs to be higher if anything. I receive payouts at Matchbook faster than any other book (except maybe Pinny)
It's not easy to just fully payout half your players at one time. I doubt any book would be able to do that. Look at Full Tilt and Pokerstars, it's 10 times worse there, they can't even payout ANYONE. I am from Canada and haven't received my payout since that whole fiasco began. I'm sure every US player will be paid by Matchbook eventually.

matchbook has communicated very poorly. Ftp has apparently not communicated with Americans for legal reasons but at least they give an understandable reason. Still i am about equally ticked off at ftp and mb. Stars has been 100x more helpful than matchbook or ftp so please don't group them together. In fact, when stars told Americans they were able to cash out, it happened right away. Compare that to me cashing out on mb in early march, being told I'd be paid on march 30th, then April 8th, then no communication for a while and no straight answers. Its all so sketchy! Matchbook's only excuse for bad communication and late payments is that we are an extremely low priority to them. I think it's messed up for those of us that have 50k+ on mb to not initially be given a phone # to call or have our emails replied to within 2 days. They will eventually pay but they have lost my business when I move abroad.

[djtrub]

Oh yeah, and they don't have retarded shills running around the forums spreading false info. Their representatives are helpful. I know! Crazy right?!
Obviously referencing hareeba, not you.
