    So who will aquire Matchbook?
    Their has been much speculation among fellow hanficappets about the health of Matchbook whispers about players on credit making millions from Matchbook liquidity markets drying up and books cutting transfer ties with them .I look for the Olympic line of books to pick Matchbook up if things are as bad as some people say.

      Now on to the question.

      Poster "DOUG" has mentioned he may be interested in some type of part ownership.

          I would not be shocked if Bet Phoenix would buy them.

              Let's see, they can't pay out over 4,000 to a customer in a week, but can buy a multi-million dollar operation????

              don't
              think

                  Would love to see the Olympic books buy out Matchbook...doubt it will happen though.

                      I
                      don't
                      think
                      so
                      Why would Matchbook cost millions, what are you buying ?

                      I think a sale would be good, cut any ties ( real or perceived) to SHIT book WSEX.

                      Now if you're Spiro you don't really need to buy Matchbook, you can just develop your own exchange based on MB, and fix their flaws. MB customers would find you, I guess having a virtual monopoly ( North American) on the exchange market ( I don't count Betmaker, that place is all CRIS'ed up) would be preferable, though.

                        WSEX is the one desperate to cut ties. They've been shoveling cash into that flaming pit to keep it viable until a sucker can be found to buy it. CRIS and BP already passed. Given the sad state of their own exchange offerings that's saying a lot.

                              WSEX and Matchbook have different owners with the exception of maybe 2 partners in the firm

                                  I can see DOUG and myself operating an exchange together down the road.

                                  We would have an instant 1000 signups, as together we know that many posters in forumville in real life.

                                  Shit, maybe we should just open up a REC book Doug......$300 limits on everything.

                                            All this info coming in about matchbook is making my head spin. My favorite book, even more so than Pinnacle but im almost to the point where im going to just play at Pinnacle and 5dimes

                                                    No, Doug would find a nice TICA to do that, that is, if he still isn't married.


                                                    Don't kid yourselves, DOUG is sharp as a tack.

                                                      It would not be shocking if BP does buy them though. It would not take much to buy them right now it appears.

                                                      I would love it if Olympic Sports would buy them but I do believe that would be very unlikely. They are more old school to do that.

                                                        Couple months back I thought there was a thread already about Pinny having bought a stake? Was that bad info at the time?

                                                          Why would Pinny subject themselves to breaking U.S. laws...........
