    I have an NFL offer there--hope it gets deleted. This happens way too often at MB, my only complaint with them.

    still waiting, I joined last week, how often does this happen? I recall stuff like this happened to pinnacle, and a few other site in the pass too.

    Too bad you can't call in bets on the phone on Matchbook, right?

    Wouldn't that be a very simple and elegant solution to the fact that sites seem to go down on the Net these days?

    To be fair to MB, it's probably really out of their control.

    hedgehog, all open orders will automatically be deleted when the site goes back online though if its an NFL order, I'm not sure why you're concerned about it.

    Not overly concerned about the NFL offer I made. I just like to monitor my offers and cancel them when necessary.

    Nope. It loaded the front page for me an hour ago, but wouldn't get as far as letting me login. Now, nothing.

    Its amazing how "helpless" we all feel with Matchbook being down.

    They are truly the industry leader by quite a large margin.

    I called in and they are working on it.

    If there was ever a day they were going to go down, today is probably the best as opposed to a Saturday or a Sunday.

    I am guessing they might be having a deny of service attack, since the sites goes on with really slow connection and back off again. I advise people don't keep refreshing it since it will make them think your one of the attackers and block your ip.

    jackkk,

    I am not able to get on via Internet Explorer but can access the site via Firefox.

    If you don't have firefox, download the browser and you will be able to get in to Matchbook this way.

    Hope this helps.
