    A) It's not Europe Only. They have a major presence in Australia.
    B) European anti-competition law is still having it's say on betting legislation.
    C) BF isn't really based in Britain any more.

    I haven't been checking the live markets on matchbook for the last two weeks or so. Was just wondering how the live betting has been at Matchbook in the last week..has their been any offers out there or was it completely empty like it was right after the announcement was made that they were leaving the US Market?

    Keep in mind that you can have dual citizenship. If you don't like our girls, you can always go back to California.

    Shockingly rabid action for baseball today. No question, 0% commission pays off.

    It was like that or better last season. Most of the time 1 cent lines with 40-50k each way. Didn't you use them last season?

    I've always used matchy from day 1 of its opening. it's just that considering they have no more U.S. customers, it's incredible. it's even better than last yr. you can get +130 for up to 50k on any game when line is -130/+120 everywhere. when line is -184/+174 everywhere, you can get +183 for up to 25k.. it's unreal. if only it was no commish everyday for life. there'd be no losers long term at matchy. everyone would win..

    in fact, there was even a scalping opportunity of 2-3 cents for every game thus far. and it was up there for a very long time too.. unreal..
