U could absolutely se the difference in the nba yesterday, as there was no big money at all on the games before they started, 2H was the same as before

I have no problem with this statement, as I wasn't even watching the market for NBA games. I have heard this was the case from people who know what they are talking about.

I have a problem with the people who said it was "awful" or "EMPTY". I wanted to bet $3K on one NBA game last night. It took me less than 15 minutes to get down $3K. So even without having watched the markets, I know that anyone who says the markets were "EMPTY" is just another clueless bustout who doesn't know how to use MB.

What price did you get it?

[Sawyer]

This must be a joke. If Matchbook leaves USA, they won't have any clients, lol. People who use Matchbook from europe and other countries are very rare. %95 of MB clients should be US bettors without doubt..maybe more!

[Sawyer]

We spoke to management this morning. No truth to this rumor and no plans to leave any markets they are currently in.

The only pending change is the sale from WSEX, which has not yet happened.

Thanks for the info Bill!

Don't worry guys..when MLB season starts, MB liquidity will skyrocket.

Maybe the rumor was that MB was withdrawing from the USA Today newspaper.

[wrongturn]

I am sure a few people are waiting for MB to leave so they can start new exchanges. May not be a bad thing if MB is that stupid.

TY Bill for looking into this. I guess this thread can be closed now that we have confirmation of a misunderstood rumor.

[chance]

If Matchbook new the value of good communication to it's customers an internet rumour like this would not have any ramifications. They need to do something that shows they are a solid business. ANYTHING

[testudo]

From what I hear Match is done with US clients. I hope it is not true, but it seems pretty obvious. The only decent way to really deposit is B2B currently anyway. The check takes up to 14 days, and has a max of $500.

Yeah, when I first saw that electronic check option a couple of months back it was $1800 max. Now it is $500? Hmm, wonder if they were hit some kind of fraud. Can people do the equivalent of a "**********" with e-cheks?

[sportsfrance]

Seems the guys crying are the guys who lost there large credit lines. But without the market makers not sure how they are going to attract deposits without the liquidity.

[the sink]

How do ppl get credit accounts?

[Igetp2s]

Why do people cry about how hard it is to deposit? Just do a ****. It's so easy, and you can do it without getting out of your seat.

[sportsfrance]

Guys are not going to send 6 figure **** ***** to MB from the US. Just not going to happen.

[noyb]

How do ppl get credit accounts?

obviously when you have to ask, you can't

But how do they get it, and why do they get it, do they not have any own money at all in the accounts?

[skrtelfan]

I didn't notice. I wanted to bet $3,000 on the Spurs/Nets game. I checked in about 15 minutes before game time and got filled no problem. I am hearing that liquidity was down yesterday, so I assume it was, but people who say it was "awful" are just clueless IMO.

Actually I'd say the clueless guy is the one who seems to think that a market available 15 minutes before tipoff constitutes liquidity. At noon Pacific, or 4 hours before the start of the earliest NBA games, there wasn't more than $500 available per side on ANY game. Usually at that time there's perhaps $3000 available at a reasonably tight market, perhaps -103 on each side. When you can't even get down a nickel 4 hours before tipoff, that's awful liquidity, period.

BINGO

It can't stay like this for to long...
yesterday was dead and today the same......
I will give it a couple more days and se if they got a plan or not...............

Once again, you are totally and completely wrong.

First of all, I have never seen the type of liquidity you are talking about at noon Pacific for the typical NBA game. I have always said the liquidity is only good as the time of the first game approaches.

Second of all, if I were as clueless as you, I would have looked at the market and thought "Oh, there's no liqudity, I guess I can't bet here". Did you even look at what I posted? Those bets were the results of OFFERS I made.

Were you in the market? No. So why comment?

Once again, bustouts who don't know how to use MB, are not in the market, do not make offers because they are too scared shitless, etc... These squares should not talk about the liquidity of the market, because there is no way for them to know. You are not in the market, so STFU.

[scott235]

Thanks for the info Bill!

Don't worry guys..when MLB season starts, MB liquidity will skyrocket.

I've also heard that MB has their best liquidity for bases- is this true?

[KGambler]

Their liquidity for MLB is nothing short of amazing. If you bet MLB and don't have a Matchbook account, you are doing it wrong.

[dynamite140]

Would you guys say to just transfer the balance to thegreek, betjamaica , 5dimes right now? If it does close, i'm guessing check is going to be the only way for them to cashout?

[KGambler]

This is truly bizarre... Tonight I was able to bet $4,000 on an NBA game at a price which was ARBABLE at some books. And it took me less than 5 minutes to do it! It's really weird how you guys can't get down for any amount, while I am betting thousands, in minutes, with no problem. I have to assume YOU GUYS ARE DOING IT WRONG.

You want to close out your acount because there was a completely unsubstantiated rumor that MB would close yesterday???

[scott235]

** and ** also know who butters their bread as well- i think the heat is subsiding for these person to person transfers and it's essential for MB to get them back.

[the sink]

I only use matchbook for arbs and yesterday and today will be the only days I have not made a single dollar in the last 2 years so something is definitely up...
like other guys have said, the ppl that puts up the big offers are gone and that is very bad

Hopefully the new ownership starts making some major changes.

[trumpdown]

Everyone has an agenda people have to decipher truth from ulterior motives for yourselves....and this goes for every book listed.

If you bet MLB and don't have a Matchbook account, you are doing it wrong.

How much more money will I make when I "do it right"?
