what are the down sides of betfair and matchbook, although i am not a high roller , just wondering the bad side

**thespeculator** · 06-08-09, 11:31 AM

is it true that they don't limit at betfair and match , or is there something they can do also

bad side is that there is not enough liquidity at lower leagues and that, if you have accounts at all asian bookies, you can always get better odds with Asians if you calculate their 5 %

so if you bet baseball football , baskets, hockey , would match and betfair, be fine if you are betting in the dime range

There are no exotics.

No parlays, no futures, no props...

Actually Betfair has futures.

betfair has many advantages but also many disadvantages. there u can bet on really good odds. but! if u are a "proffesional" bettor they will tax u with 20% on your winnings, as they do with me. they are let say monopolist and they can do that. so their 5-10 % better odds, can turn into 10-15 % worser odds.
i dont want to pay every week 500 or 3k premium charge. and i think up to 10 % of their users suffer that. and that soon or later will have an end. to be premium charged u have to place 5 bets per week and to be on plus and no need to bet really high.
so all in all to be monopolist was never good and betfair really sux.

easiest way to make money. join a tip service and bet against their picks. when you win everybet and look at their promo's of being 85%, you will realize the miracle of touter math.
if you are buying all of these services, you are very lucky to still be a high roller.
i suggest you do your own homework and roll a dice.

well, I am not playing at matchbook but if I can read here correctly they have just 2 % fees? that would make them much more useful if you are betting the US sports but I am sure that almost all of you would still play at pinnacle if you were allowed to. betfair would still be useless IMO as if you make regular profit with them they would charge you with some extra fees.

but I am sure that my croatian friend would like to bet only soccer which leaves him with Pinnacle and asian bookies.
