    Sportsbetting is a good book. They will end up limiting you if you win too much, but they pay reliably.

    BetPhoenix continues to slowly deteriorate. Customer service, payouts, etc....

    How often will you find different numbers between Greek/Betjam?

    I ask because I have found slightly different #'s between BM/DSI more frequently than I had imagined.

    Thanks.

    Giving them the benefit of the doubt before the story makes players talk front page but after receiving my first payout from them several weeks ago with no ID verification required my most recent request made following the limiting of my wagers to $22 I am ironically now required to send in verification which may take up to 5 business days.

    I am pretty sure at this point that they will take at least the full 5 business days even after my request that they either prioritize my verification or reinstate my wagering limits. They are clearly jerking me around intentionally and tying up my funds where they are absolutely useless to me.

    About the same ratio.........however BETJAM is much more of a recreational type book when compared to TheGreek.

    I am just stunned that Fish didn't see this coming a month before it happened.

    Shocking. A guy as connected as Fish--- very puzzling.

    Downright disgraceful that Matchbook didn't inform its employees of this move ahead of time.

    This just can't be---I mean, according to Fish---MB NEVER had problems with liquidity.

    Yis--

    Is Matchy now primarily for Nigerian punters?

    What about Indonesian punters? Ugandan? Uzbekistan? Surely a good Ukbeky punter will still need MB, right?

    Fish, will there be a new thread listing the Top 10 Books for Asians, South Americans, Africans, and European players? Matchy has to be the leader for those folks.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to slight Uzbekistan. Perhaps punters from there should consider Matchbook as well.
