Exclusive Q&A with New Matchbook Management Regarding the Recent Sale and Changes

[jjgold]

Matchbook is bubble gum

Just look at website
Volume
Inconsistent offers
Ver little live betting

They just do not have what it takes and they lack committent to the product.

Canadians play at Betfair especially if you like live betting on American Sports TV games which we have Plenty

Wasn't sure it was going to happen, but Betmaker is improving everyday.

Let's monitor that situation closely and see how it evolves as the MLB season approaches.

ive signed up so ill keep an eye

Bring Mansion back. Best place I ever played..maybe better then Pinnacle even.Place was a dream.

[tofuman]

liquidity looking better today at betmaker for NCAAB. they just need to put up the new lines faster.
I also like the fact that it doesn't matter whether you accept or make your own wager as far as commission goes. This way hopefully it won't be like matchbook where you need to wait till the last 10 minutes of any game to get your bets filled.

Matchbook will do fine............everyone needs to stop with the comparisons to BetFair.


The local deli in Clifton has been serving up quality cole cuts for years and they have a loyal following, with many new customers weekly............and they have been profitable for years. However, are they bigger than SUBWAY, no, but they are still one of the best deli's not only in Clifton, but New Jersey and beyond.


By the way, all one has to do is read this forum and others to realize how many enjoyed playing at Matchbook, and the many that still do.

Being an ex-owner of over 20 subway fanchises, There is definately room for one the one of the same type of any business in the market.

Just looked at the NBA page at Matchbook and saw this:

Testing
March 8th
1:00 PM Runner C at Runner D
1:00 PM Runner E at Runner F
1:00 PM Runner G at Runner H

Guess they are developing the web site on the LIVE SYSTEM! GULP!

Hear hear! Would love to scalp another 100k home to waste on beers and girls.

Matchbook is in denial. The only reason that Matchbook was successful is that it allowed U.S. play. Why would foreigners use this stripped down version of matchbook when they have betfair and ladbrokes.

[the sink]

ladbrokes?

for the very same reasons that I do
there is a heap more liquidity at MB than Betfair on US sports
Ladbrokes ??? - sure you jest ?

[jjgold]

HAreeba maybe Matchbook had more pre game action than betfair on usa sports

But not in game

Betfair blew them out of the water as far as live betting volume, not even worth comparing

Typical ESPN Game Betfair averages about $400,000 USA Dollars, the rare times Matchbook had it was like $3000

[the sink]

Not that it means that $400 000 is bet on that game, but yes betfair livebetting is great and matchbook livebetting is completly dead now since the americans are gone...

[jjgold]

ok sinker that actually means they definitely are busier on 80% of American Sports no matter if it is total volume/live betting, etc

that may be so but as I don't bet live it is not what matters to me

yes, clearly Betfair is a world above everywhere else for live betting on anything but $400k matched is really small time for them

but whereas Betfair discloses its "matched bets" (not the same as hold) we have no idea what the volumes are at MB do we ?

[jjgold]

Matchbook was never a real player

Hareeber do you know worldwide 80% of exchanges have fallen ?

Its a very tough sell

[Hareeba!]

Matchbook has been and remains very real to me thanks

80% is probably a gross under-estimation but is totally irrelevant to what I've been saying (which, come to think of it seems to apply to 80% of your posts on this book)

[sanchez985]

wow only option for exchange is gone now.

[jjgold]

fact is matchbook is done

With the new exchange coming I think you will see it run by pros and not amateurs like Matchbook was

[Hareeba!]

it may have escaped your notice but MB now has new people running it

I'll believe it is done when I see it for myself, not when I read it from someone who doesn't even think Yanks are smart enough to recognise the merit of exchanges yet now is predicting success for a (mysterious ?) new exchange!!

In the meantime I'll continue to enjoy the benefits of playing at Matchbook

Is there any connection between the ownership of matchbook and pinnacle???

[jjgold]

No idea about connection

If there was it would be a good thing

[Hareeba!]

no idea, yet you just don't let up telling all and sundry that they are dead

Somebody on RX commented that they've been dealing with somebody in Ireland; which is where Tradesports used to be based... wonder if there's any connection there?

Intrade is still based in Ireland.

Matchbook, the smaller things are also gone, making it appear to be even more of a ghost town, i.e. no futures market maker in the major sports or team season wins and no American Idol market (understandable I suppose but still they bet on it worldwide). Just seemed to get a lot quieter there.

On the positive side, they've added 3 new odds calculations on their drop down menu, Malaysian odds Hong Kong odds and Indonesian odds. Whoop-de-doo!

Naturally, they booted a huge chunk of their customer base. I don't see why this would now be an expansion into new markets. Weren't they already available in those markets? Why should this make them more attractive? Just seems that their new management is delusional. Or maybe they paid so little that they don't much care and have their own agenda aside from growing the actual business.

They will be attacking the ASIAN market........it is growing leaps and bounds with sportsbettors.

3k at Matchbook?? Hey baldy, I routinely had 5 figures of live betting at Matchbook. Many games were weak, but I am not complaining. I made a nice living.

The old time squares are still laying -110. Fools.

Cheers!

Look at the shills, FH and Chuck. I wonder if you suckers realize that everyone knows by now that you cannot be taken serious.
But sure, keep on posting your broken record shit.

Matchbook was a very unsafe book that is why SBR wanted no part of them

WSEX was linked with same owners and they are bankrupt
