So what kind of sizeola are you swinging, durito? You've been around for awhile; you've made 12 THOUSAND posts in 5 years. Not exactly the way most multi-millionaires spend their time. If Matchbook is truly superfluous to you, you are prob. betting 50k a pop....every time. If you're anywhere near as sharp as you are cocky, you're raking at least 3% net of vig. Let's assume you're choosy, and you only bet 2,000 games a year (~6 bets per day). So you're up $3 million a year for the past x years, and yet are still poking around SBR six times a day? Something not quite adding up...
Forum rumor - Matchbook will withdraw from USA today.

Ok, I admit, have no proof you don't play there...........if you do, that's great.
..............and you're right, you don't contantly "bash" Matchbook, that was bad wording on my part, but you do constantly bring up nothing but negatives about them.
Also, by reading post #160 in this thread, it is obvious you do not know how to use MB to your advantage, perhaps you are relatively new to Matchbook and have yet to learn how to use their software properly.
In any event, if you do have a funded accout with Matchbook, congrats, you are on an excellent pathway to profits.Comment -

#263matchbook is great , much lower comissons than betfair , liquidity is pretty good also esp an hour before the games start and payouts usually only take a few seconds during their processing hours.
I'm not sure how anyone who is making money or is only gambling for entertainment purposes does not want to have an account at matchbook.Comment -

#266I can understand why people don't use exchange because of lacking prop, parlay, teaser, buy/sell points etc. And if they have made enough without it, they don't bother, and they don't encourage others to use it for obvious reasons.Comment -

#274Again, a very funny post by a low IQ poster who can't get out of his own way... It's only due to your own terrible reading comprehension that you think the wiki article says that is a definition of liquidity. Maybe you want to re-read that paragraph. Maybe you should actually read the first sentence of the paragraph...Comment -

#275If you knew how to handicap, you'd lock your bets in early instead of waiting to game time or halftime of the NBA. Anyone as sharp as you think you are would be taking advantage of the openers on a regular basis. You're a legend in your own mind.Comment -

#277KGambler,
I am quite confused you argue that matchbook is the holy grail of sports betting even though they offer little to no liquidity until 1 hour till game time, than you claim that you do not bet into efficient markets
The reason there is no liquidity at MB until 1 hour till game time is because nobody has the balls to put out offers until pinnacle/cris/Greek have taken action for 20+ hours ironing out the lines allowing all value to be extracted from the market, this makes the market extremely efficient prior to game time.
Skrtelfan,
You've said way too much, let it go.Comment -

#278Why is it so hard for people to be objective about MB? It is neither perfect nor terrible. What about MB mades most posters in this thread take one of those two sides?
How about some facts.....
Their deposit and withdrawal options are terrible. Almost unworkable. Ridiculous to expect that recreational gamblers are going to accept that the only real way to deposit and withdraw are through B to B transfers.
Their liquidity has gone down over the last several years. While the markets have their ups and downs, overall - there is no comparison to what it once was.
Most of MB's advantages can only be taken advantage of on game day, even close to game time. This doesn't fit every gamblers desired process.
No parlays, teasers, or exotics.
Software that is unfriendly, sticky, and lacks several basic features that would greatly help users and market liquidity.
At least some of the time (if not most of the time), the lowest juice you can find on large market sports.
No limits, and winners dont get booted.
A tremendous history of paying out.
If you are ignoring MB as a potential out, you are missing out. If MB is your only out, you are missing out. MB should be part of your arsenal, not your whole arsenal. If you can find a workaround for the current deposit / withdrawal issues, and you have patience, you can often wager at lower juice than you can at most other outs, for more money than at most other outs.
Simple. Maybe it would help if Fishhead acknowledged the cons, and guys like Durito acknowledged the pros. It aint all black and white.Comment -

#279Exactly. I still use MB, but can see and admit they're nothing like they used to be. Yet the same blow-hard (s) keep insisting liquidity is fine because of a few pockets of activity.Comment -
