Forum rumor - Matchbook will withdraw from USA today.

[Legions36]

Who's the one too chickenshit to bet anything but arbs? LOL. You might as well write Matchbook a check rather than bet that -6 +112.

How can u knock someone for trying to make a living?I always thought we were all on the same side regardless to how we make it.

Guy may be more clueless than Durito, wait, he definetly is...........................

Not everyday I give Durito a compliment, take note.

Why do people start a thread like this, without knowing if it's completely true? I don't understand it.

Pay more attention to the thread. Out of the blue he made some ridiculous comment that "I'm too chickenshit to bet anything but arbs" (actually these days I don't bet very many arbs) and then mentioned arbing something at a square book. If you're going to arb something at a square book you might as well write Matchbook (or Pinnacle) a check.

How about providing proof that I "constantly bash Matchbook without betting there," you lying shill?

[d2bets]

Matchbook remains a must out.

[trumpdown]

Matchbook needs to do much more if it ever will retain a higher rating. CS sux..liquidity needs improvement in most in-play markets..blah blah blah needs work. I withdrew most my balance here. B2B via WSEX was nice while it lasted. I thank them for that and some dollars saved on moneyline buys an hour or so before game time.

The fact that they offer so much "value" yet aren't growing is alarming to just how incompetent management really is. They don't listen to anybody on how to make them better and haven't done so in years.

[durito]

Posters in this thread making 250k a year or more gambling? I see 4.

All posting that matchbook isn't necessary. Anyone disagree, perhaps I'm missing someone.

Thats an excellent point. They do offer value - as the arb program on my website consistently comes up with sides to play on Matchbook. But they continue to removed deposit methods, withdrawal methods, have liquidity issues, and then rumors like this begin to surface.

Seems like you want to try and fight with me now, all im saying is your argueing and calling out reputable people that know what there doing.

What's your website addy?

[Tomahawk]

I play at matchbook and pinnacle and I see that thousands of dollars are being placed on USA sports but only a few bucks on European sports so it is not logical to close out americans. I think this is only a rumor.

[skrtelfan]

Wonderful reading comprehension there. In response to my simple and correct statement that liquidity was terrible on Monday (the day many credit accounts were closed), some bozo calls me "clueless" despite admitting that he wasn't monitoring the market most of the day, then makes outlandish claims like "I don't make offers" and "only make arbs." And in response to that you say "your (sic) argueing (sic) and calling out reputable people that know what there (sic) doing???" Yeah, if some dipshit says I only bet arbs while boasting about his arbs with square books, I'm going to have a good laugh at that point. And anyone arbing with a square book does not "know what there (sic) doing."

[todd73nj]

Trump, I dont want to post it because last time I gave it to someone they took my PMs away. Not trying to compete with SBR. No one could compete with these forums. You could give me your email if you want, But Im def not looking to get banned.

The only people arbing square books are small stake noobs.

Look 90% of people maybe more i dont know exact #'s lose money with this stuff and most people that claim there winning are losers. What makes someone a pussy for arbing, they obviously know how hard it really is to actually win long term just betting. Also i know what day your talking about and your right it was bad, but add up all the rest of the days of the year and there u have it.
Honestly its not really Matchs fault because of the U.S. Gov laws that are hear now and because of this mixed with all the losers that try and do chargebacks and other grimy stuff they are forced to only have certain deposit options and withdraw options. It even affected Pokerstars and Fulltilt and those are the top 2, so that should tell u how far up that processor hit last month really did.

Umm not true at all.

[soxwin1917]

Why does the OP have to be a "MB hater"? Who actually hates MB? There are people who don't utilize it for whatever reason, but I don't think that makes them "haters".

Hey sorry your having trouble but to be honest Match is worth the headaches, u will see after u play there. But just use bookmaker or the greek. Dont use 5dimes to transfer from them into Match as there owner Tony is a total anal prick about that. I believe if u dont want to do a rollover with bookmaker they charge $100 so if u pay that make sure the money stays in Match so u dont have to pay again. With juice alone u will make it back with a few bets.

[coldhardfacts]

Can't speak for your experiences, but this hasn't been mine at all. I've done numerous transfers from 5dimes to MB and vice versa, and never a single problem on either end.

[gym rat]

5Dimes and Sportbet transfers to Matchbook have never been a problem here either. You do have to rollover your deposit money to 5Dimes and Sportbet once before transferring right out to Matchbook but that is completely understandable.

[LostBankroll]

MB is solid. I would drop 100 k in there no problem.

[Stacocakes]

Interbook transfers in and out of Matchbook are completed within a couple hours for me. Haven't had any problems doing it for a long time. I've never tried any other deposit methods.

[Fishhead]

5Dimes and Sportbet transfers to Matchbook have never been a problem here either. You do have to rollover your deposit money to 5Dimes and Sportbet once before transferring right out to Matchbook but that is completely understandable.

4x rollover AND if one is a first time 5DIMES user, Tony usually requires 30 days before they allow a transfer to MB..............which is very reasonable, as Tony is not running a bank for Matchbook.

Show respect and be thankful that 5d provides this to the masses.

[increasedodds]

Hey -

This all makes sense to me:

MB gets bought by a betting syndicate fund.

They figure if they get rid of credit accounts they can do all the seeding at +odds.

They then realize they don't have the capital needed (should have thought about this)

They turn the credit accounts back on.

BTW - anyone able to offer me a credit account? I have good references from Pinny and others.

-Sean

[agronox]

Heh, just got told that matchbook isn't taking BANK WIRES right now. WTF?

[Fishhead]

Good to see MB on solid ground, that's the good thing.

[todd73nj]

Good to see MB on solid ground, that's the good thing.

Fishead, I know how you love this book - and its my favorite also. But they need to do something to create some confidence. When I look at their banking options, I do not see solid ground. Forget the odds, and the liquidity that some claim is there and its a must and all that..

But:

To Get money in:
1) No bankwires at the moment
2) E Check is currently not processing bec of technical difficulty
3) Dont accept money transfer companies
4) Cant send them a check so they say
5) instant deposit has been reduced from $3000 to $1500 and takes 10-14 days

And to get money out:
1) Regular mail check is the only option

Book to Book is not a method to get new money into the system. MB needs to do something to get new blood into their markets - and that requires have deposit methods.

[skrtelfan]

What makes someone a pussy for arbing, they obviously know how hard it really is to actually win long term just betting.

Again, you need to follow the thread more carefully. It was the other guy who called me a "pussy" for arbing when I never even mentioned arbing, and in fact I don't arb much these days. Arbing is certainly a good strategy in certain circumstances, if Greek has some team in some rugby game at +105, Bookmaker has their opponent +105, and Pinnacle is dealing -105 on both sides, and I don't follow that rugby league, I'll gladly arb it. But for a variety of reasons arbing with square books is generally a bad idea, and it's hilarious that the guy who accused me of being a "pussy who only bets arbs" then mentioned arbing with a square book.

Also i know what day your talking about and your right it was bad, but add up all the rest of the days of the year and there u have it.

Great. All I said was "liquidity was awful" that day, and the shills came out in full force labeling me a "matchbook hater," someone who "only bets arbs" and someone who "doesn't use Matchbook." One day of poor liquidity isn't a big deal, no, but it was noticeable that day.

Fishhead, the lying shill, accused me of "constantly bashing Matchbook despite not playing there" and when asked for evidence repeatedly of my "constant bashing" has refused to produce any such evidence. I've made a handful of posts critical of Matchbook but they are all correct (their software doesn't work well on most phones, their system goes down for maintenance at inopportune times too often, my soccer offers often don't match despite being the best offer available anywhere where I'm only trying to match a small amount like $300 or $500, and similar things).

[Legions36]

Can't speak for your experiences, but this hasn't been mine at all. I've done numerous transfers from 5dimes to MB and vice versa, and never a single problem on either end.

Ive done it before but they and ive had an account with them for a while now. But i needed more money into Match and i specifically deposited a certain amount for this did there required rollover and Tony gave me a ton of s sh-it for no apparent reason, and i know what it sounds like but i made sure to ask everything in and out before i reloaded with there rep, they assured me everything would be ok. Then all said an done with i meet Tony and i have to say out of all the books that i have used he is by far the worst person i have ever had to deal with, so what does this tell u as u wont really catch me saying anything bad to often.
Long story short is i dont like my time to be waisted for someones power trip. I don't like to be lied to from an A book that i use because i would have never done it to begin with if i would have known what was gonna happen. I woulda just used BM, Thegreek or something.
So what im saying is don't think by going in threw them that they will be able to do this because he will give them a hard time. Im not saying anything bad about there book as i like everything else about them, it takes alot for me to not like someone and this guy really did the trick, this is the first bad response i have to say about a book actually not the book just him.
