    I see that matchbook ain't what it used to be.

    What is Betmaker like? Anyone using these places anymore?

    I'm still using Matchbook for NHL despite their system being totally unstable

    And of course Betfair for just about everything else

    I've not used Betmaker - it appears they are primarily into US sports like Matchbook are - what sort of liquidity comparison with Matchbook anyone who uses them?

      Not great on liquidity, and the fees start at 6% until you earn a big enough commission discount to get the fee down.

        Matchbook

        Matchbook had a quarter of a million dollars in liquidity on the Colts-Jets moneyline on gameday. Live betting is poor at times but on big games they are the best. Where else are you going to look at -185, takeback +184 during a live game?

        The super bowl in-game betting at MB will have more than enough liquidity.

          The better question is who doesn't use an exchange. I don't think even a halfway serious player is not using one. Could be wrong on that but I'd be surprised.

            SIX percent!!
            they've gotta be kidding?
            how can that possibly be justified and how can they attract business at that level?
            Betfair starts at only 5% and that's too high but they do have liquidity.

              Matchbook's markets' liquidity: you're either part of the solution or part of the problem; try making offers (and save money in the process).

                    I make on average $120 dollars a day everyday for the last 4 month on matchbook. Where else can you find line that are +2 cents after pinny no vig closing lines. I.E pinny -110/+100 and you get +108 for it.

                      Matchbook's great for day of game bets, but overnights, it's pretty useless.

                          I liked Mansion's exchange better but it didn't last as long. They had far more options.

                              you'd have to talking about Betfair I presume?

                                Matchbook

                                Example: Matchbook has WVU -7 +111...The Greek has WVU -7 -105.

                                If you don't have Matchbook, you're losing.
