    Matchbook Makes Me Nervous 2011 Poll
    Okay, when I first started wagering at Matchbook a couple of years ago, it was like paradise with all the reduced juice and not worrying about getting a payout because of too much winning. But now Matchbook is making me really nervous. There is not near as much liquidity in the markets, they have slashed the deposit methods in half for U.S. players with ******* and GP being the latest, and they don't even have a customer service phone line anymore. The only way to speak with them is through live chat. It sucks because I really love this book, but don't want to jump on a sinking ship. Am I just being paranoid? Would like to know everyone's opinion/confidence level and recent dealings with Matchbook.
    Thanks

    My confidence level: 70%

                I just don't see how they could do something like that and still survive, don't u think they would just have to fold before that as most of there business is in the US. I just think it was a rumor misunderstood for the whole washington thing going on.

                    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?

                            It's essential to support the exchanges if only to keep the regular books honest.

                                    Another false rumour about Matchbook. Matchbook continues to pay promptly. Book to book transfers with all the top sportsbooks. Just received a max payout by regular mail. It arrived in 20 business days as promised.

                                    The juice I save at Matchbook is what I live on.

                                        I didn't start this thread because of rumors. Just wanted to know what other players confidence level in Matchbook is.

                                            Can We tell Matchbook to put *** as a deposit & withdraw method? If they have that option, then the MB's destiny will much better..

                                                    No, MB has always paid quick and iam not worried, but with all the shit going on with Wsex and the fiasco involving "The Shrink" it is just crazy to think your money is as safe as with Pinny or Greek.

                                                      Think about this, if they have indeed cut off 90% of their credit operations, MB just went up a few notches on the safety scale.

                                                          Its kind of sketchy when you can no longer get a book on the phone.

                                                          If that doesn't throw up an alarm----I don't know what does.

                                                                Much lower than it was a year ago. Though I continue to have my highest balance there for now.

And if u add it all up and take the average score between all of them it really put Match somewhere in the high A grade. Not to mention this place is a goldmine.

MATCHBOOK management. maybe even 2nd hand. SBR relating what MATCHBOOK told them. everything else, just rumors. rumors i don't mind being told about. i can make up my own mind about what i think are facts and not rumors or even out right lies. here in the US. MATCHBOOK is the best book. no bonuses - no rewards of any kind. just the best lines and until someone has not been paid, my confidence is as close to 100% as any other book out there.
