    Matchbook has so much value for American sports

    If you're a non-American and like betting USA sports playing at matchbook is a must

    I think us Americans overlooked Matchbook while they were still available to USA residents

    Many don't play there in Canada because lines too sharp

    I live in the US. I used to play at matchbook. I want to know if there is a way to setup a remote desktop connection up there so I could use matchbook again. Is this possible without matchbook detecting

    There's gotta be a way but nobody will share that info out in the open. Plus it's probably too risky.

    Glad to see matchbook making way less money these days ! They never should have gave the boot to US players. Markets are now seeded more than ever !! :**

    http://igaming.org/poker/interview/m...ing-speaks-up/

    "We take very little risk because we don’t take regular bets like a sports book. For some of our high net worth individuals, it’s not worth their time sitting on the exchange as they want to bet six or seven figures on a game instantly. For these clients, we quote them a price for their desired stake and then do our best to unwind the position in the market.. At times this can be slightly risky but is a profitable exercise for the business as a whole."

    This is why the markets are seeded so well.

    It was more a case of the US giving them the boot.
    I still find I'm placing more bets with Matchbook than Pinnacle due to better odds.

    Nobody in the US threatened them . Laws that are up are very quirky and have many gray areas. They could have remained anonymous.

    Only thing I don't like is that they are based in Cyprus and haven't addressed whether or not they bank there.

    huh?

    all books and casinos serving players in the US are in Uncle Sam's sights

    already several seizures and arrests have been made and more are sure to follow

    if you run or even work for one of them you're a target the minute you step foot on US soil

    There is decent volume baseball , football , some hockey , tennis , nba

    It's enough for the mid range player and below meaning 85% of bettors

    They are growing and they are advertising

    What separates them from bet fair and that Daq is they cater more to American sports

    Dink again you have no clue, Matchbook is very very safe. I think you should go do your own research and find out.

    I'd thought about offering that. I have my own UK based datacenter with a couple of spare physical servers (could setup 6 virtual easily enough) and a decent IP range.

    that's pretty well correct but SBO and Betfair can also be useful for lower stakes

    Sportsbet, Sportingbet, BetStar. Any UK book.

    I understand you will mock them all because you're on there fraud iesnare lists. That's why you shill.

    First of all I think you are talking about square books that will immediately limit or ban any sharp action. Second, I doubt their odds can compete with the reduced juice you get at matchbook and pinny. I might be wrong but I think that not even sbo and betfair can compete with their odds when it comes to us sports. (for non-us players)

    you really are an ignorant fuckwit

    leave aside the fact that those cowards won't even take a bet from most serious punters (watch Today Tonight tonight for a little education) the odds they'll offer to mugs like you just don't stack up against Matchbook and Pinnacle

    I often compare odds with those books and only rarely do they have better odds

    Clearly you are the fuckwit hareeba

    I place bets on those sports every day. I know where the best odds are to be obtained, as does everyone else who's posted in this thread.

    Dink your busted again, all those books you mention take $10 bets on usa sports after you win a few $1k bets, of course all very safe and excellent. Ok SBOBET and Betfair are not bad but not a a lot of usa options. Betfair is great for live in game on usa tv games in UK, heavy volume and great tight juice. THE NBA and SBOBET is ok at times and bet sizes decent.

    no jj, you're wrong again, u just accuse what u want to believe.

    myself and other i know who gamble can bet as much as they want (lets be realistic on stakes) at any book including those i listed.

    so whatever, you have no major clue at all when it comes to the reality of sportsbooks and the industry.
