What the fukk is wrong with matchbook?

[Hareeba!]

Wow Hareeba got exposed in this thread, unreal...
unable to do simple maths, lost all credit (if he had any left) what a clown.

Ok smartarse, perhaps you'd care to explain where I failed simple maths rather than just making such a statement without backing it up?

[Hareeba!]

There is only 1 explanation for the lack of other currencies anyway...they use USD themselves and don't give a fukk, any real exchange would have hurried up. I'd be surprised if even 10% of their so called volume comes from players.

So what will you be saying when they do introduce additional currencies in a few weeks?

Sorry, I don't speak Hareeblish.

[Hareeba!]

Freaking typical of so many cowards on this site.

Only interested in posting insults but afraid to engage in discussion about what they disagree with.

so just STFU.

Brighten up Hareeba! It was all in fun, why so serious all the time!

Yeh if you want to go bankrupt

Betfair bankrupts everyone

[wtf]

Yeh if you want to go bankrupt

Betfair bankrupts everyone

you know i am beginning to be believe the market can only really support ONE exchange, come on here and bash me but that is what i am starting to believe

[jjgold]

I have been saying this for like 7 years

Exchanges are a all a flop period except betfair

Betdaq is whore shit with little volume and you would think they would have more volume because they give their API out to software vendors for 3rd party auto betting

There is a place for an US sports exchange, MB was great..
they failed cos Wsex failed.

No they did a very nice job of failing all on their own,

No there is not

USA Punters too fukkin dumb to use them, many have tried and all failed terribly
Exchange betting and live betting is not a usa bettors type thing

[Hareeba!]

What an absurd statement!

Surely US punters are essentially the same as those anywhere else in the world?

Given the opportunity to use an exchange such as Betfair they'd be all over it.

You only need look at the number of posts on here bemoaning the fact they can no longer use Matchbook.

LOL. Liquidity was horrific on Matchbook even when U.S. bettors had access to it.

Even with them seeding their own markets.

Not what several other posters have said.

And don't forget that they were regarded as illegal by the US too. Would have been hugely different if they could have advertised in the US.

And btw, there is still good liquidity and more than at Betfair for US pro sports. It will improve immensely when they introduce new currencies and advertise in Europe and Asia.

The only sport MB ever had decent liquidity in was MLB when they were a U.S.-facing exchange. Otherwise, if you were betting with any real size, you were pretty much limited to closers.

And for every such post I could probably find at least one saying that the liquidity is adequate - and coming from punters who can play there.

Also, I did say US pro sports. The rest of the world has sfa interest in college sports. For the major pro sports you will generally be able to get accommodated at better than Pinnacle odds unless you are betting in tens of thousands.

But all this is off the topic for which I joined into this discussion which was JJG's remarkable statement about US punters being too dumb to play at exchanges.

What's your view on that one?

Adequate for whom? $50 bettors? Like I said, unless you were betting close to close, good luck getting a dime down on any decent side or total. Sporadic at best back then. Their heyday was around 2008 and their liquidity progressively got worse. If their liquidity was so great, why were they seeding their own markets? Jesus.

Are you a MB shill? WTF.

[mathdotcom]

Hareeba get the marbles out of your fukkin mouth pal

[brettels]

It's your fault for not speaking Hareeblish people!

So why are you ignoring the question?

I regularly get set for up to $5k at best odds.
Can you actually play there? If not you just wouldn't know.

Another who just wants to post insults?

Do you have anything to add to the discussion?

What do you make of JJG's statement calling US punters dumb?

Are you American?

[Hareeba!]

It's your fault for not speaking Hareeblish people!

If you can't add anything intelligent just STFU

[sickler]

Hareeba, is your name chosen from Speedy Gonzalez?

Arriba Arriba!

Hey, dummy. The question WASN'T there when I posted. Look at your edit time. Then look at my quote of your post.

Fukkin nitwit.

I'm a U.S. resident. We were talking about WHEN U.S. players could play there.

Jesus Christ. I'm done with this conversation. It's pretty clear that you're as dense as concrete.

[brettels]

Have you ever added anything intelligent Hareeba? It seems that every time you post there's always someone responding to you to correct you, then you go into offensive mode! Every time you post is the start of a new argument! Kudos for trying, you can stop and leave now! TheRX is waiting for you.

That may have been what you were talking about. Not me.

As I stated, I entered into this thread today to remark on JJG's incredible statement.

You responded to me with other comments but expressed no view on that statement.

I obliged you with responses regardless but still await your view on that issue. And those of everyone else who has since entered this thread and not done so, preferring to post insults and irrelevances instead.

Only to those capable of comprehension.

Incorrect. It isn't me who starts the argument.
Every time I post someone just jumps in with insults.
Rarely do they ever bother addressing the issue on which I made comment.
This latest round of posts is a perfect example.

I challenge you (or any of the other insult posting cowards out there) to find a single thread which has developed into an argument with me which didn't start out with one of your kind posting an insult of false accusation or statement without any attempt to address the issue about which I posted.

Gee. I wonder why they insult you. It couldn't be that you're a FUKKING RETARD or anything.

Yep. Nobody was talking about U.S. players. Not JJGold. Not me. Not you responding to me or JJGold.

Kill yourself.

I'm done with you.

Still no response to the question I started out discussing.

You too incapable of following the course of a thread's discussion?

Just more insults.

Just in case you go back on your word and respond again do us all a favour and read post #86 in this thread.
