Let me what the volume is like these days if you would please coach.

The interface is far inferior to matchbook.

I have not used them in years. I would appreciate a report about how much you can get on. And everything else

Most games have little volume, Yanks have some decent action .

The volume from 4 years ago to today has definately gone down. Live in game betting is just a failure for usa bettors, everyone likes traditional wagering.

did you fall off the wagon jj?

I was looking at live betting guys, it is not bad for that if volume was better.

Nicky I know books better than any other guy ever on a forum except Sick Gambler.

that's one thing i give you credit for, you do know your books.. just like sick gambler.. that man back then knew everything about every book.. how much bonus was, rollover, you name it..

Sick Gambler in his prime had over 40 active accounts funded back in the day, it was unreal and he knew every line at those books every night. I could see how he snapped by just constantly looking at lines getting the weakest number possible. Where is this guy??

I do not see how Tradesports stays in business with no growth even on the horizon and not many ways to fund.

Nicky Santoro · 06-17-08, 07:41 PM

you seem to have known sick gambler even better than i knew him. you're right, he had 48 accts at once and would take the weakest line. books hated him jj..

we've got to get together us 3 for dinner one day, MY TREAT.. just track him down jj.. i know you can.. last i heard, he was in a basement in IDAHO hiding. that's the rumor.

It's been a while since I've heard anyone mention Tradesports.

They are far behind Betfair and Matchbook and appear to be doing nothing to improve.

I used to like them, but their odds are much worse than other exchanges plus they don't offer much in terms of funding/withdrawing options.

As already mentioned, liquidity is down.

Maybe its a good thing that they are not often mentioned.

4% commission is absolutely brutal. You will virtually never find the best price at Tradesports. The only times I've seen it happen are when the spread and/or total has moved a lot. Tradesports never moves the original number and sometimes the market makers do not price the conversion correctly.
