Matchbook for the NBA???

[albo gator]

This year was my first using Matchbook and it began last May with wagers on MLB. I could not have been too much more pleased with Matchbook and the liquidity of their betting pools for MLB games. Very deep and very liquid.

I don't bet much in the first ten games of a team for the NBA season so just this week I have begun to wager on that sport. The first week or two when I looked at the NBA pools at Matchbook I guess I was just hoping that many other people liked to do what I do and watch a bit of the season before they begin to bet. However, as the season has gone on the pools on individual games is still very small. If a person wants to bet to win $1000 on a game it is often not possible and when it is it usually involves betting right before the game.

I guess my question is for the Matchbook veterans and it is two fold: Is this typical for the NBA on Matchbook and will things change at all when the NFL season is finished (i.e. will more people start to bet the NBA and make the pools larger)?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

sometimes have to wait till closer to gametime but for example a crap game late on a football saturday NYK vs LAC last night offered 15K available on NYK...major tv games will have much more

There's no reason to think that it will get better when football ends. Last year at least 2H's got to a one cent spread half-way through the window, this year even they are spotty.

Yeah, yeah...right before game time, big games, blah, blah, blah. But the fact is it wasn't very good for NBA last year and this year it's worse.

I've noticed it's the same way with the live betting on national TV games. Liqudity was a lot better last spring and during baseball games.

could anyone see lines for second half in Toronto-Boston?
I could only se totals but the spread was empty
This happens often for me...
Does not help if I use firefox or explorer
Even if I put up my own offer I could not see it
