I tried to do one, but now they want scans of drivers license/passport + 2 scans of utility bills.

For the first time ever, I am envious of those individuals living outside the U.S.

I HATE POLITICIANS.

How was OP's done in 70 minutes and you had to send documentation? Was this the first time you ever tried book-to-book at MB?

I've done interbook from Pinnacle and 5dimes but this has actually been the first time ever doing a withdrawel out. Utilities documentation is a little excessive imo.

I'm expecting a MB transfer to my CC this week.

i never used those different books,, such as betfair and matchbook,, i think they get another name,,, but are they worth it? i checked betfair odds and find them difficult to understand at times and also the odds are not too good

I got LAC -1 even and Memphis -3 +102 today, so far. I don't know any other book that can beat those prices I got. Right now you can get Memphis -3 +105, don't even have to wait for someone to fill an offer.

yes but they are not true bookmakers,,, they get another name,, such as community betting,,, right here in spain,, betfair is very popular,, but i never have any of them,,, neither matchbook,, so i was interested to know if is right to have a matchbook account, it is worth it?,,, betfair i did not liked when i checked out,, also confussing to bet,, by the way degenerate,,, glad to hear you got good lines,,, but playing the clippers as a favourite playing in the east coast needs a lot of guts,,, do not like your play..

ignorance is bliss

why do you say this?,, you really think is better to bet at those exchanges, or whatever, they are call,, than to bet at pinny,, if os, why?,, I DO NOT SEE this as ignorance,, lay- layback,, etc.. stuff,,. in a plus rated books you can even buy points in yr favor,, there not.

Only Pinnacle can rival the net odds you get on a liquid exchange like Betfair or Matchbook.
It is worth the 30 mins or so it will take you to familiarise yourself with exchange betting.

Ok rafa, I concede that may have been a trifle unkind but it did seem that you had no comprehension of how exchanges work or of how beneficial they can be. Let me assure you that is it worth a bit of research to learn about them.

There is no doubt whatsover that exchange betting beats traditional bookmakers for most things but I guess it depends on how you like to bet.
Parlays are limited and buying points isn't really an option.

But for obtaining the best prices for straight bets I find that I can almost always beat Pinnacle's odds using Matchbook for US sports and Betfair for most others.

ok now i just learned more,, now i also knows that you are not american since matchbook does not accept usa citizens anymore,, you see now you made me think,, until a year ago i did not like to work neither study in sports betting,,, just take the easy route of sitting in front of the computer and star placing bets like an animal,, sequentional live betting,,, is our beast,,,, but now do not want to lose more and approaching tyhis differently,, i guess by now i must take a look at those sites,,,cause now all i do is read, read, rearn ,learn...... and even forget of placing some bets,,,but now knows that profiting comes from making this an investment routine,,, and the best part is that i learnede that in this awesome forum,,, not by my own,, only with hints and helps of good punters, i am 40..4 years betting and knows by now i will profit in the future,,, if not i kill myself.

You're quire right there rafa, if I were American I wouldn't be able to use Betfair or Pinnacle either and frankly I just wouldn't bother betting as I don't see how it would be possible to make any decent sort of profits betting at the crap odds that US punters have to accept, not to mention having to cope with all the impediments and costs involved in funding and withdrawing from offshore books.

If you are going to tackle this game seriously you simply have to have Betfair and Pinnacle in your arsenal and if you bet US sports, Matchbook too. For soccer, SBO and 188Bet I find are musts also.
You really don't need to bother with all those US facing books if you have those. Good luck.

I'm an Aussie
Matchbook is best for US sports and virtually useless at this stage for anything else
Betfair is better for everything else
and yes I agree with you that the euro books are a waste of time
they may be okay for new accounts but the moment they figure out you're a serious player your limits will be cut to peanuts

Took a day for them to get approve the documentation, but my transfer to 5dimes went through.
