There is not much liquidity now.But the book is so solid we have the ability and the reason to make something really special about it.The reason is the inability to withdraw in a timely fashion from Matchbook.Maybe if everybody started playing there it would grab matchbooks attention.

I really, really hope Betmaker realizes the golden opportunity they have right now with Matchbook leaving the US...they might be the only exchange option left for US players. I expect better liquidity there in the coming weeks, I may have to post up there soon

I guess I will give them a go as well..esp cause of the transfer relationship

switching loyalty from matchbook to betmaker won't do any good to either (liquidity-wise)

While it certainly sucks especially for players with money on MB what does this mean for the future of exchange sites to USA players? As I understand it Betmaker is available for US players. But it sounds like they are fairly new (even though they are associate with good names like Bookmaker and Diamond) and with this newness comes a lack of liquidity. However, if the majority of MB players moved over to Betmaker might this make them decent?

Is there some way for USA players to use Betfair? I know people have mentioned vpn (or proxy servers or something like that for Pinnacle). Is Betfair so clearly superior to Betmaker that this option needs to be explored for serious players?

Basically I am most interested in MLB and an exchange for that. I am sure there are lots of people in this same boat as this was the main market served by MB and now that is gone.

Thoughts?

If Bookmaker doesn't act on the opportunity they are being handed and SERIOUSLY market Betmaker, they are indeed missing out on a potential goldmine. I would exdpect them to send out a marketing E-mail within a day.

Does Betmaker leave any games open for live betting like Matchbook did?

SportsMozart · 02-28-11, 03:44 PM

In coming weeks watch the liquidity in Betmaker triple from what it is now... Most of the MB US cutomers will eventually land there and Betmaker will become big. It is owned by Chris and should have same pattern of behavior as BM.

fido007 · 02-28-11, 07:21 PM

Let us all play there for baseball and get themto open it up by at least 4PM the day before.Remember it is up to us.They are very solid.

Well there gonna have to learn to move the lines in NCAA bball. Few people like to pay -116 for a side.

guess i will be depositing soon.

Sdotbold · 02-28-11, 09:54 PM

What is the for and against for each team? Wouldnt I just bet for one team or for the other team in the contest. Can someone explain this "against" thing to me? ( Sorry I am stupid)

superwerewolf6 · 03-01-11, 12:46 AM

the site layout looks kinda like matchbook but just a little sleezyer ,ill wait a while hoping they do well, i miss matchbook already

ArunSh · 03-01-11, 12:51 AM

As do I, I hope this place turns out to be reasonable - we need some good exchange in the US!

jogumon · 03-01-11, 01:57 AM

Their web site is completely unusable in Google chrome. Considering this browser has 10% market share (and growing) they should probably fix this.

barcelonafc · 03-01-11, 03:23 AM

if people stop talking and actually start using then there will be plenty of liquidity

playz · 03-01-11, 08:48 PM

does anyone have any insight? Lines are so far apart. Why doesnt bookmaker try and develop this business. There have to be people that come in andprovide liquity. There is too much money to be made ... right?

Igetp2s · 03-01-11, 10:58 PM

The layout is terrible. You can only view 1 thing at a time. Unless you can customize it and I missed it, you can only view point spreads, or money lines, or totals. You can't watch all markets on a game at once. That definitely needs to be changed.

that is one thing they will need to change for sure in order to survive ..... you must be able to watch all markets on a game at once

the strange thing about betmaker is that about 2 months ago they advertised on moneybookers website, but actually upto now are unable to process deposits/withdrawals via that method.

Sdotbold · 03-02-11, 02:50 AM

yeah it doesnt work on google chrome. lol i just thought the site was terrible. thanks for letting me know.

playz · 03-02-11, 02:02 PM

does anyone have any info on deposit/withdrawal methods? If I deposit by card is there a wait? And do they offer the DC option like bookmaker/betdsi?

barcelonafc · 03-02-11, 02:19 PM

betmaker is a joke, period

playz · 03-02-11, 02:24 PM

Liquidity for NBA spreads and ML arent terrible. The fact is some people need an exchneg now that matchbook is not an option so liquidity has to pick up. I have to make the move.

omahamoneymaker · 03-02-11, 08:59 PM

Can you move money to and from Betmaker, DSI, and Bookmaker without fees? I have accounts at both BM and DSI.

omahamoneymaker · 03-02-11, 09:10 PM

I just went onto Bookmaker and did a chat there and they said they no longer have any affiliation with Betmaker.

Full Time Hobo · 03-02-11, 09:55 PM

Thanks for the thread... Since MB is gone for US i am trying to decide to go to BetMaker or wait for a blackie /Ganch exchange....
The fact that BetMaker is associated with Bookmaker makes it definitely a plus. Only question is their software which looks a little confusing ... of course same was with matchbook at first
