Don't Let Matchbook Die!
I know liquidity is very poor in Matchbook but if we don't use it, liquidity won't get better. It will get only worse.
Make sure you have an account at Matchbook. Edmonton was +214 last night at MB. Best price in market was +197 at Pinnacle and +195 at 5Dimes. There's a dramatical difference between +214 and +195.
2 years ago, Matchbook Liquidity was much better. Now, many markets are nothing but a graveyard. Don't let Matchbook die.
Hopefully, liquidity during baseball season is always good.

Matchbook sucks for anything except baseball. Nothing gets matched until game time. I take my action elsewhere to get it when I want and for how much I want without having to worry about getting matched.
well football is good too, but it is about over
Yeah, right. Liquidity during baseball season is good. When NBA, NHL Playoffs start, liquidity will be good for these sports too since there won't be too many games on board.
I know Matchbook is not perfect lately but come on. -101, +100 lines!! Every rose has its torn you know. You can even get NBA spread bets at +108. (If other side is -109)
I agree with the message here. I wish there was more going on at Matchbook like there used to be. It would be in the best interest of all gamblers.
matchbook is already dead for me,been dead a long time
For you folks that say things like "baseball the only thing MB is good for" OR "Matchbook has been dead for me for long time"....................YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE KIDDING or you must have an AGENDA TO BASH MATCHBOOK..........because I certainly believe none of you here are this ignorant in the least.
MATCHBOOK is a must out for a variety of reasons..........
Pay attention to what poster SAWYER stated in this thread, he is spot on!!
Only off shore book i use
They have got to do something fast about deposits and payouts. Right now my only deposit option is a 2 week ***************...and my withdrawal options are a ridiculous 4 percent wire or month wait on a miniscule 3000 check....ridiculous
When is the new mangement taking over?
I dont care what route i have to take to get money in and out of match as this is a must have book for any bettor. And that guy that said there only good for baseball has to be retarded, seems to me more often then not there lines are better than most spots. If your to lazy to go through the small things right now to accomodate match then you just dont need to be betting. Also anyone that complains about Match doesn't know sh-it. How hard is b2b that would be same day from the credible books.
Have you ever wondered why it always has to be the books/bookies telling you what odds you should have, and we players have no say whatsoever? Now you can turn the table by using Matchbook!
Too many shot takers on MB
All of you lowlives hanging -500 on a team that the market has at -200 just because you can, you are the ones who are ruining MB anybody who has gambled on more than 1 game in their life knows this is a bad line and for every one person you get to bite on this crap you chase 100 away from using MB.
Funding account is key...most rec bettors wont jump through hoops to fund account.
hopefully someone/book will come up with a way to easily transfer funds.
A lot of square losers knocking the future of sportsbetting which is the exchange.
Anybody laying -110 or even -105 on your side and total bets are getting fleeced.
I made a killing on Monday at the exchange with Auburn +165 and HT Oregon -1.5 +103. Also Auburn -1750 when they had the ball at the goal line.
Over a million dollars available on the Monday game. Live betting was huge.
Over $100,000 available on the Okl/Orl game. Before the game Orlando -1.5 +104. At Heritage I saw Okl +1.5 +105. Both were available at the same time.
Make offers.
I probably wouldn't gamble anymore if I didn't have Matchbook.
Note: Live betting is still new to the betting scene. The oldtimers that are still laying -110(fools) are not interested in live betting or making an offer. The saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks holds true. The new generation of bettors will not want to lay juice when making a side bet when they see Matchbook bettors offering even money.
Funding is easy if you bet off-shore. Matchbook transfers with most of the top sportsbooks free of charge.
Matchbook is Great!
I would cry if matchbook died
How can ppl bet -110?
Even if there is no money on matchbook u can always get matched better then -110, ALWAYS
Agree with several others on this thread - Matchy is my #1. Also agree here that the trap bidders are a big problem. It's worse than bidding out of market; if a market is quiet they put up an ask on one side that looks like the right price on the other (i.e., 98% for the team losing by blowout rather than winning by blow out) hoping to get hit. I front bids by these human filth whenever I get the chance and forward complaints to Matchy. Others should do the same. I do wish they would show trap bidders the door.Too many shot takers on MB

the main reason is MB is popular only in America, they must try make it popular in Europe and Asia for more liquidity!
This is another major problem that contributes to the lack of liquidity at MB.
-Because of the no commission on offers, everybody wants to make an offer and nobody wants to take them.
-Nobody wants to make offers until the line is as accurate as its going to be (right before game time) because they know that their early offer is likely only going to get accepted if the line moves against them.
-Its hard to get offers in late because MB has given their API out to so many people who have developed bots to buy and fill offers the second the line has moved.
-When making offers you run the risk of not getting your offer filled or only part of it filled, so assume I am a kelly bettor and I want to get down 5% of my bankroll on a play but only half of my offer gets matched I would have had more long term growth of my bankroll by betting 5% of my roll at a higher price than betting 2.5% of my roll at the exchange price.
I like matchbook but a lot of things need to change in order for them to get the volume that betfair has.
-Change the commission structure in order to encourage egual trading.
-Offer more funding and withdrawal methods to make it easier for players to move funds.
-Eliminate situations of players taking shots (i.e. leaving an under total of 198 hanging in live betting when the total score is currently 205)
If MB dies it's MB's fault.
Thank you, these last few posts are a perfect indication why the vast majority(if not all) here should have an account with Matchbook if they play offshore.
I agree. Save matchbook.
I don't think we have to worry......I agree. Save matchbook.
Like someone else said, the average Joe ain't gonna jump through hoops to play there. Book to book is the most convenient method right now and 5dimes won't do a b2b unless you rollover and have your money there for at least 30 days.
I recommend they start jumping through hoops..........
I started a thread yesterday that got no response.....
But why do you guys think that MB doesnt offer ** or **?
Is it strictly a cost issue? Why wouldnt they offer the service, but pass the cost off to the user so that they could decide if it was worth it? I just cant come to any logical conclusion as to why they dont offer a rec gambler a way to deposit.
I can't see that happening when a) few Europeans and Asians have any interest in US sports and b) they can use Betfair which runs rings around Matchbook on everything else
I have never bet at Matchbook, probably never will

Really? Why would someone hanging a sucker line chase 100 people away? You just don't play it. If I saw an offer for -500 on something that should be -200, it wouldn't even register with me.
If anyone wants to accept the crap offer, it is no skin off my nutsack.
I'm not trying to be argumentative but to me personally, I can't think of a bigger non-factor than that.
Is that really something that will put people off?
It happens on most Betfair markets too and doesn't seem to be a major issue. It is true that the scumy offer is likely to be "fronted" more quickly on Betfair.
I don't use Matchbook very much, mostly just to hedge but it would be a real shame if it did disappear.
You are clearly classifying uneducated recreational bettors with yourself.
When a recreational player catches Mr. ripoff artists -410 on Siena and the rest of the market is offering no more than -380 that recreational player is going to deposit his money with another book. Now does Mr. ripoff artist really need to get +410 on Marist when the true no-vig market value is +340???? Is a player asking for a bet with a 16% +EV not a little excessive???
Much like you said if you see that line you will not even look twice at it, if a recreational player who is not funded sees that price he is not going to join that book.
