Hi Everyone,

Multi-Currency is now in late stage beta and a handful of our customers have already been playing in our new currencies. So far the beta test has gone successfully and we expect to do a full roll out in the very near future.

Users will be permitted to make a one time conversion at the xe.com rate to the currency of their choice (CDN, EUR, GBP, HKD). All users will be notified when these currencies are made available to the public.

Thank you for playing at Matchbook

- Mike

Will definitely make a deposit if there is a Canadian currency for baseball season.

**xKMACKx** · 03-03-12, 10:13 PM

And or free deposits for **********.

**Marrowhine** · 03-03-12, 10:22 PM

**QQPALLADIUM** · 03-03-12, 10:26 PM

mb will be "beta testing" this for years....maybe they can get a phone number 1st...

**brettels** · 03-03-12, 10:28 PM

so true

**iqbet** · 03-04-12, 05:20 AM

why do you need new currencies anyway? just use the US dollar.

I have been as it's been the only option.
But almost all players prefer to bet in their own currency.
And as a result of Matchbook no longer taking US players there aren't anywhere near as many players left as we'd like to see for good liquidity.
As can be seen from this thread and as I know from several punters of my acquaintance, they are just hanging back waiting for the introduction of additional currencies before they join up.

**QQPALLADIUM** · 03-04-12, 07:09 PM

so lets assume that mb has the best odds...

are punters are too lazy to get some dollars to deposit with and then convert them back to their own currency?

most now see the USD as being a basket case currency and don't want to hold it

so what would they rather hold..the dollar is still over 60% of all world currencies and is flat the last 3-4 years....even if they don't like it they could hedge...so again if the odds are so good at mb it would be worth it...

as I said before, most would rather hold their balances in their own currencies

particularly in Australia where the AUD has walloped the USD over the past couple of years

and very few punters could be bothered with hedging their currency exposure

well then the punters are not smart if the odds were so much better...you even said it on the newbie forum..

walloped...july 14 2008 .9706....nov 21 2011 .9713...

nfi what you are on about and really don't care but if I hadn't been hedging I've have lost a sizable amount of value in AUD terms

well the numbers don't lie...but you do...you said march 1st for mb currencies...wrong...you see the numbers i posted...and yet you said you would have lost a lot of money over that period...wrong again...you say you would have lost a sizeable amount but you have admitted you are not a big winner...wrong again and again...

well i have homework to do...and again you are not smarter than an 8th grader...

Would be the first time you 2 don't fill up pages and pages of threads with your stupid arguing, worst spammers on the board. And never forget to quote everything, so it becomes even bigger.

I don't recall seeing anything constructive from you. Every post is full of pure negativism.

It's far from that I can't but it is just a total waste of time and space arguing with your garbage, inaccuracies and misinformation.
