Betmaker Review - In progress

[IrishStoner]

Thanks guys i might throw in a few hundie and see from there.

[Hareeba!]

Im not sure what you were betting, but you can even ask a complete shill like Hareeba, but there were not even lines posted last year on College basketball - they didnt bother. And he will come back and say he doesnt care about NCAA hoops. But they had nothing last year.

If you are talking about the MB of 3 years ago - different story. But that MB was dead and gone long before the sale.

why would MB bother with US college sports when by and large the only people interested in them are US residents and in case it has escaped your attention, MB hasn't had any US resident customers for over 8 months

if it costs mb nothing to put it up why not?...

funny how hareeba can't answer this query...

[Hareeba!]

funny how hareeba can't answer this query...

even funnier coming from someone who makes a point of not answering queries

I've already well and truly covered that subject in at least one other thread - there are far more pressing things for MB to be attending to than putting up markets with next to zero interest

wow how tough is it to put up a game...some volume equals revenue...no markets equals no revenue...

[Hareeba!]

for someone who can't play at MB I can't figure why you have so much interest in this non issue over a local sport

let me know when Betmaker puts up markets for the Sth Africa v Australia Test series (an international event) ... can't be too hard? .. some volume equal some revenue

[QQPALLADIUM]

i can play at mb....

i am not a betmaker punter....

nice day down under..get out and enjoy it...

Totally untrue... MB had lines last college hoops season. The lines went up about midnight for overnight betting. Between bases and college hoops (until this summer) a good bit of cake could be made making +100 offers.

Betmaker is dead man walking. SAD!!! Such a great parent company....

Ah yes, you are right Hareeba. No one but US players must participate to make March the highest handle wagering month every year.

Hmm... so if thats really the case - does that make the US the largest betting market in the world?

Even Hareeba can tell you that MB had no college BB market maker last season. For the tournament, there werent even any bids. I have posted screen shots of this in prior messages. Hareeba even saw that and responded by saying he didnt care about college basketball bec he had no explanation

[losemyloot]

Looking to add a book as a US player and was wondering if betmaker is a better out than Betislands?

Well I rolled $30k over 10 times in cbb alone on mb last year. I couldnt do that in a wet dream on Betmaker.

Ill leave this topic alone , because its a useless point.... MB is gone.

Scroll back to last march my friend - in this thread and the one I consistently quote for Hareeba, there are screen shots.

Empty markets. Entire NCAA tourny, empty. Futures, Empty. Nothing.

Arkansas/LSU .............ML = $392 ..... PS = $482 ..... Total = $0

Pitt/wvu was a little better : spread : Matched: $1457

But that's still pathetic. At least you dont have four figures stuck there trying to roll it over three times before you can withdraw it . Who would have though Bookmaker would roll some crap out like this? Well I sure didnt. I guess its not in their interest to have the exchange cannibalize the bookie biz.......

And the volume from Matchbook is where?

All you need to do is watch the MMers (when there is one) position on the board - it never gets hit. $$ amount is always the same. MB is not trading either Im sorry to inform everyone.

I know, I know... everyone trades thousands per game. But if you do the math and figure out what MB makes on the thousands just the guys in these threads claim to make - Why in the world did they not have any money, and why did they sell?

[todd73nj]

And fwiw... I think screen shots go alot further than typed in data.

[unclebuzz1]

Betmaker gets less action than Dorothy got from the Scarecrow, Tin Man or Cowardly Lion.

They gave credit AND took positions..... AND got crushed . I think the credit beats were the worst. And theres no college football volume because there arent any US bettors left. Im not saying MB was the end all, but Betmaker is a complete joke at this point.

There is no soccer action, no rugby action, Nothing MB has left open since they booted US players has traded. Nothing they left open for a year before they booted us traded.

I have about a ****load of guys who use my chat room - who arent braggers that they win thousands every night gambling - who will tell you the same thing.

Betmaker will trade more in game tomorrow, than Matchbook has in two years.

[unclebuzz1]

Who has a Bookmaker account? Do they have in-play wagering real-time (not commercials only)? Do they keep the original lines (adjust the odds) or adjust the lines as the game goes along? What have they got for options? ML? PS? Total? Any props - what? Thanks for any info.

[unclebuzz1]

Well looks like you got your info on your own.. so no need to respond to the questions. Watch a MB live event.. in a sport taliored for Euros.. they wont even get 30 prices posted. And its been like that for two years. And look at Betfair - (No US players allowed onviously) - they dont struggle for in game volume on ANY event they list, US or Euro oriented).

Nothing trades at MB. Its just the site owners putting up prices so it doesnt look look completely open.

Screen shot a few events 1 hour prior then at game time - you will see that the apparent MMer posted block will all still be there.

Stagnant.

[BAUS]

I've read this entire thread (and looked at betmaker from time to time) and unless I'm missing something, is there any good reason to use betmaker if you have access to Matchbook ?

Todd, stop the constant comparison of Betmaker to MB.

You're not going to convince anyone outside the US that Betmaker is better than MB was or is. It could be in the future. What's important to you is not necessarily important to others.

MB doesn't exist for anyone inside the US. You're running a negative ad campaign against a dead entity. It's like comparing Betmaker to a ghost. It's a non-issue for US players.

Promote Betmaker on it's own merits. It IS the best option for an exchange for US players but not because it's better than MB. It's because it's the ONLY option available for US players.

Having said my last few posts (and the fact that I'm currently in tap city), I'm considering opening an account at Bookmaker. I've never understood the following. Is there or is there not, a fee to transfer funds between Bookmaker and Betmaker going in either direction? How much?

[noyb]

Ah yes, you are right Hareeba. No one but US players must participate to make March the highest handle wagering month every year.

Hmm... so if thats really the case - does that make the US the largest betting market in the world?

is your universe actually bigger than the US? No one but US players and scalpers give a **** about college sports in general, and no book but US books have the highest handle in March every year.

I had a few transfers between them and they are all free and done in a few minutes.
