I am considering using Matchbook but am reluctant because of the subpar rating of B- given to them by SBR. On other forums, they claim that they low rating is because they no longer advertise on the site? Does anyone know why the rating is poor compared to the other big books or is SBR really that crooked to give a bad rating because they don't advertise with them?

What you heard on other sites is completely true. SBR really is that crooked.
If you need any proof, just look at BetPhoenix's rating. Then look at all of the complaints and issues surrounding that terrible book. Then consider that SBR puts all kinds of minor complaints on their "front page" when it comes to a non-paying book like Matchbook, but not one BetPhoenix complaint has ever made the front page, no matter how major.
I am a Matchbook customer. Their management is kind of stupid, and some of the the things they do will leave you scratching your head, but Matchbook is a must have out for any U.S. based gambler. You can not beat their lines and they have great liquidity for most major U.S. sports (terrible liquidity for some others, such as NCAA Basketball).
If you want to know how good or bad Matchbook is, don't look at SBR's ratings (which are bought and paid for). Look at the SBR customer polls. Matchbook is consistently rated in the top 3.Comment -

It's an A. There's plenty of background noise (people bitching about the software, infrequent down times,...) but that's what happens when you're on top - everyone wants to knock you down.Comment -
the only problems are the depisit methods & withdraw fees. especially Bank Wire, the fee is 4% of the withdraw amount. And No free withdraw.Comment -

Matchbook is a great site and they are fast to fix problems. They sent me a check about a month ago and unfortunately the check bounced. However, they contacted me before I even got word from my bank that the check bounced saying due to error on their part the check was no good. Sent a new check to me by FedEx, for free, for my original withdrawal plus the fee my bank charged for the bad check. Yea it sucks the first check bounced but they were very proactive and easy to deal with in getting a new check out to me in no time.Comment -

Great book, they reemburse your deposit fees with commission credits along with having the best lines.Comment -
Matchbook is a great out to have, but it is limited. Let's not pretend it's the only book someone should have in their arsenal.Comment
