There go 98% of Fishhead's posts.

[Johnnythunder]

where did u read this?

[Johnnythunder]

I think its Washington they wont deal with. Have serious doubts they would abandon the other 49.

[austin]

any feedback from sbr?

[Santo]

Heard this as well, source is probably good.. who knows whether it will prove true. Whilst the bigger players will likely remain (as they did with Pinnacle), it will be interesting to see how Matchbook try and re-position themselves if this goes through.

[LLXC]

Doesn't seem to make sense to leave now, as opposed to when a bunch of books/pokerrooms did?

[xstud]

To be honest even if this is true it should be no surprise to American bettors. For how many months/years have debit cards not worked? They don't have any easy solution for American's to deposit into the exchange anymore other than book 2 book transfers. GP went bust and they were one of the first books to use them. Really it shocks me that they still pay so timely to American's seeing as how they almost act as if the American business is not wanted.

[Donadon]

If they do drop US customers, then the writing`s on the wall for Matchbook

[blackbart]

If true what market exactly would that leave them?

[Slainte]

If true what market exactly would that leave them?

Exactly Leaving US = closing matchbook

!@##$$%%$#$@@
damn its getting worse not better

[wrongturn]

So they want to compete with BetFair head to head. Brilliant plan.

[HedgeHog]

Who is this trusted source?

[sq764]

might have to stay in the US now, getting too volatile anymore

[trumpdown]

So this is why they stopped book transfers via WSEX

What's the word Chuck?

[Legions36]

I dont think this is true at all.

[ArcadeFire]

Never any volume to speak of anyway, from what I understand.

[CaptainHindsight]

Hopefully they will honor book to book transfers to move funds out of there and there won't be a song and dance.

Hey fu-ck u for starting this rumor you fa-g, i just talked to them and they said no way. A bunch of idiots around here thats for sure.

[cloudagh]

I am glad to hear this was false. Even though it wouldn't affect my account, the absence of the liquidity from the American market would be crushing.

I did one this morning, went smoothly as usual.

[soxwin1917]

Where's Black Dog and his new bet exchange???

[BrianLaverty]

Obviously wouldn't surprise me one bit....

[Dark Horse]

Why would a buyer first buy an exchange for Americans and then withdraw from America shortly after? Because he likes the platform so much?

The other forum I frequent is saying that this is true?

[sdtrader]

What other forum was saying this?

[pirate]

what forum is that?

[trixtrix]

jesus it makes my stomache churn just to hear rumours like this

[HedgeHog]

"trusted source" and "my other forum".... can we be a little more vague?

[trixtrix]

hh, it's from a legit source/site

[Legions36]

Well no employee from Match has even heard of this so don't u think they would have a heads up?

[big0mar]

Matchbook employees would be the last to share this information with customers, if true

Wouldn't surprise me either way

[sunnyblue88]

I know what this 'other forum' is, I saw that post with the title 'matchbook to exist us market', but you know what is written in that post? LOL, 'Have seen this posted around the net'. I think that kind of title should be banned, spread false rumor without any truth attached.

[macoeric]

Sorry, here is the other forum, link to thread:
