Did it appear to be more than just one market maker putting up - EV lines on either side, as had been the case the last 18 months? How much was available? How much did you get down?

MANY MANY Thanks for any input.

After the 1Q i made bets at Dallas at great odds, much better then pinnacles, there was about 15000$ available, i took as much as I had money in my acount...
4000$ -108 and 4000$ -110
There was great odds at the bulls-miami game also, almost the entire game.
I can only hope livebetting gets as great as it was when they closed it for usa

People say it was bad but for me it was great

Thanks, Sink. Best of luck to you tonight in the Bulls game!

Day 76 of Matchbook holding $22,460.63 of my money hostage. I wish I shared your optimism Todd. My daughter is getting married so I have been withdrawing a lot of money lately from various books. No problems with processors whatsoever. Why is it only Matchbook is having a problem? The only logical explanation is they do not have the money. If they had it we would have been paid by now. They are "faking it until they make it". The question is are they going to make it?

At least by me posting I can save a few of my fellow bettors from ending up in the same fate I have. I hope I am wrong but there is something that is very very wrong with Matchbook taking this long. I am going to keep posting until either I get paid or Matchbook officially goes under. Good luck to you though.

Wait a minute - My sister is getting married soon- And my father loves sports - You arent my dad are you?!?!

Your logical explanation in 100% on. If they had the money - they would have sent checks, or allowed book to book. But those would have had a much quicker cash requirement. Great line, faking it until they make it.

100% confident you will get paid - I will get paid - and everyone will get paid. But its certainly slow pay.

WSEX had a new look at one point too. They were here to stay also.

**todd73nj** · 05-20-11, 01:25 PM

Got a call from my TD Bank Branch manager today - referencing a pending refund on my account. She was questioning what transaction this was in reference to. I explained to her that I had made an internet purchase on a CC with I no longer have active, and that the company would only refund to a CC. She seemed to accept this with no need for any documentation, and said she would release the transaction. So Im assuming it should clear on Monday.

So in all my transaction too 40 business days (54 if you are including Sat/Sun). Double what I was told, but as I said I was confident I would get my money in time.

My next concern is now my second withdrawal for futures. Im not sure the bank will accept the same story another time. Considering my futures wont expire till possibly June, in the current slow play mode, I wont get my final money until August. Im hoping what I have been reading about MB now sending checks instead will be a viable option.

Stop all the negativity already, we GET THE IDEA OK?
So far MB always paid, and many look forward to more improvements that could make this exchange the best around.
We simply don't want to read this bullshit over and over again, capiche?

Its not negativity. Just reality. There has been new management at two books that I have used in the past. They both have/had changed many things. One closed, the other is now a slow pay outfit.

New management does not automatically equal success and positive outcome.

**djtrub** · 05-21-11, 02:08 PM

Received my 50k wire from matchbook.

**cheezhead62** · 05-21-11, 02:23 PM

Day 79 of Matchbook holding $22,460.63 of my money hostage. I am happy for you djtrub. Hope to receive mine in the future. BTW Matchbook Mike, I am still waiting for the "full report" on the status of my withdrawal.

The truth is not negativity. It is simply the truth. The best way to stop "negativity" is for Matchbook to pay everyone they owe money too.

Any word at all from MB, Cheezehead? What is the last MBMike told you. Been strange he hasnt been here to respond to you for a few days. That last guy got it within a day or two of Mike taking care of it. Makes you wonder if its a plant.

So for all the guys that trust them blindly, maybe ask them why they havent paid everyone.

EVERY player should have been paid by April 28th. If you requested on the last day .. You should have received your money on April 28th.

Issues** not options, and for some reason my post is uneditable.

**todd73nj** · 05-25-11, 11:17 AM

Cheezehead, it should be day 83 of your issue - any resolution yet?

Last post from Mike about Matchbook in 4,522 languages..

Hope you got your money!

so its folly remains intact for all to see

**Thremp** · 05-25-11, 05:43 PM

Who are these delusional idiot shills who say that MB IS NOT INSOLVENT (Hareeba definition) and FULLY IN SLOWPAY MODE?

The words have specific meanings as defined by Hareeba and the general gambling community. MB fits the definitions of both. I don't understand why anyone would call "factual accuracy" folly or besmirching their reputation? Calling Matchbook a bunch of child rapers is a lie. Saying they are slowpaying their debts is not. They took on debts, set out a timeline to pay those debts, and have not paid them. Its quite simple.

The management has no prior track record. (Why do people bring up previous management? Previous management didn't process many transactions and hid the sale of their business for weeks.) Their first efforts are rife with INSOLVENCY.

Facts. Check.

Roanildinho - are you split personality? One day you agree with blind MB supporters, the next day with people who look at facts? Weird.

Well with OKC out of the NBA Playoffs, I emailed Matchbook about paying me the rest of my money.

Id venture to say Ill get it by August.

I have been saying for years that matchbook never had big volume and never grew.

JJ... right when Pinnacle went out of the US Market... I gave matchbook a chance... Used them for 2 years+ solid. Honestly, saved a lot of vig using them. Not at any point did I feel threatened losing my bankroll... only until they said they were pulling out. But JJ that could happen with any book honestly. Look how smoothly Pinnacle paid everyone out? I'm sure everyone was nervous at first...

The funny thing is... once all US members couldn't wager... that board was so DEAD. The trades weren't as fluent... the numbers were rather small for trading volume. You could tell they took a big hit. But if they knew this... why did they pull out of US market? I just don't understand it myself? One of my favorite books besides 5Dimes.

**RickySteve** · 05-29-11, 05:04 AM

I got my money.

**Mudcat** · 05-29-11, 10:39 AM

Matchbook is very good for baseball

**ArunSh** · 05-29-11, 11:05 AM

I'm glad I can see the lines again for a model of comparison, even if it makes me very sad sometimes not being able to bet some of the lines I see there

**jonmic** · 05-29-11, 11:10 AM

Just got a e-mail from Matchbook, they are finally sending me my check. The check shipment originated in Singapore, maybe that is where they are moving the processing too.

I fianlly got an email back about my futures which are now all can be settled - only took them 4 days to respond to my daily emails that I sent.

Said my check would be processed next week. Lets see.

Cheezehead - Any update for your situation?

**gmitran** · 05-31-11, 05:24 PM

MBMike... Is withdrawals@matchbook.com a legit MB email address? THX.

**jonmic** · 05-31-11, 10:09 PM

check arrived in the mail today and deposited it at the bank...we'll see if it clears
