    At MB you mostly get Pinny odds, end of the story mr. Hareeba.
    All copied. For some different lines, you are much better off having a good mix of top higher juice books like the Greek, who won't copy all lines.
    But obv. Hareeba would never admit this. And i dun care how much money you make with your awesome MB account, can't be much of a pro with all the time you spend on posting.

    They have in fact denied they seed. I've asked you to prove otherwise and you have failed miserably.

    I suggest you have nfi and I seriously wonder if you've ever actually used an exchange.

    I actually play there. I post offers. They get accepted regularly.
    Most US pro. markets have good liquidity (and improving) and the best odds available anywhere.

    What is your agenda in continually posting negative comments about Matchbook?

    Firstly, once again I ask you or anyone else to show where I've ever claimed to be big time.

    I don't give a flying rats arse where the odds are coming from so long as they are the best I can get for the amounts I want to bet and they pay. All of which is the case.

    I do have accounts at Pinnacle and Greek and yes they are useful but more often than not my money goes on at Matchbook because they are offering better odds. Why can you not just accept that fact?

    My full time job is betting on several things. There are gaps between races and I'm posting offers on exchanges and monitoring them. It can be a long boring day. Checking into a couple of forums helps fill the down time. Why is it that you have a problem with that?

    Hareeba study the pools and you shall see it is seeded maybe even by Pinnacle

    One thing to say they are seeded, another to say that Matchbook themselves are doing it.

    Look at the same markets on Betfair and see how much they move!

    And how much is on offer there. Why don't you bash them the same way you do MB?

    You post a lot of rubbish for someone who makes it his job.

    Who pays your wage? Perhaps it's time they learned the truth.

    Have you ever played at an exchange yourself?

    Betfair is a live betting site..........80% of volume is during game

    Matchbook would not even have a site if markets were not seeded

    Some say Pinnacle seeds it and some say Matchbook seeds it

    The fact that Betfair does huge live betting turnover if of no relevance whatever to the point I've been making.

    Compare apples with apples.

    As I've said I couldn't care less if it's seeded or not and who is doing it if so. All I know is that MB has denied they themselves are doing it. I have no cause to disbelieve them. You have claimed they do. Now you seem to be wavering a bit on that? You've consistently failed to back up your claim when asked to do so, so I see no reason to believe you.

    I note also that you have failed to answer whether you really have any experience of playing at an exchange.

    Hareeba I got scouts feeding me info from Europe
    I cannot say anymore

    Well good for you..they have good prices so take advantage if it

    Lets just say I catch sportsbook owners lying a lot..its how I made my rep as a book expert, sure I was wrong a few times with books but its rare.

    it must be long when you make minimum wage per hour....maybe if you posted less and really believed in your "bets" that you could bet more and spend less time at it and make more money.....

    I don't work for anyone other than myself.

    I play at the world's best books and exchanges and get irritated when clowns post inaccuracies about them.

    Mostly it comes from those who've never actually experienced playing there.

    Matchbook is an excellent exchange, particularly if you bet pre-game on the major US sports. Better odds than Pinnacle and the rest. That's been my main point all along. And they pay promptly every time. Some posters keep dumping shit on them for seeding etc. Who cares? They simply can't refute what I've been saying.

    Anyone who has followed MB pools for a while now will realize that they are being seeded as of about 14 months ago.

    Check out 2nd halfs at MB, and you will see how many real players are left besides some arbers and similiar who are always interested in good odds.
    Nothing, nada.
    So ofc some are worried about their safety, they been sold by Wsex and didn't get much action for over a year now.
    You compare them to Pinny, never mentioning that they are prolly safer than most banks, while MB future is completely unknown...

    ah Mr Negative chimes in again!

    MB is not completely unknown to me .... made many withdrawals and every one has come through promptly without any hitch

    my comparison of them with Pinnacle has simply been on the basis of odds pre game - and they are a clear winner in that department for up to $5k at least

    have you heard that they have now introduced several new currencies? .... that has been long overdue but will now substantially boost the number of players and liquidity

    My negativity on sportsbook topics has kept me out of trouble, cos i played at Wsex and Cascade before the shit happened..and i never want to stretch my luck again that much...you smartass. Not all of us wear pink sunglasses in an industry full of thieves.
    I have every right to bitch here, if touts like yourself run their mouth 24/7.
    P.S. Mb being a clear winner over Pinny pre-game is only true when closer to game time, but you love ignoring facts you don't like Mr.

    Congratulations but I too have managed to avoid losing out when 'shit happened' because I am very careful and selective with the books I use.

    Most of the thieves in this industry are to be found amongst the players and forum posters rather than the books.
