Let's hope that the NCAA championship weekend combined with NBA playoffs around the corner maybe that will be the jumping off point all of the former Matchbook users are hoping for. I also think Todd has some very solid points about money tied up in MB and those waiting for those funds before they move over to Betmaker. April 2nd can't get here soon enough.
    Someone made the point above that the big games have much more to offer and thats certainly true. I tried to get some spots on the obscure NCAA tournies last night and only got $100 or so before having to move my prices to a new level.

    But on the other hand.. I just got down Over $1000 in the Real Madrid game today...

    Its hit and miss right now.

    I need a conformation from someone that they have gotten paid directly from BetMaker and not a transfer into BookMaker. Someone please verify this for me so i can make a deposit there, i wont just rely on transfers and i know they are Bookmaker but i want to make sure.

    It's weird, some nights there is some good money to be wagered and other nights not much of anything. Tonight is one of the better nights I have seen. Almost all lines college and pro's have a couple hundred on both sides. In the pro's many with 1K or so. It's a start.

    Yeah. Volume seems to be picckinng up. I dont get why deposit methods aren't available esp when they are associated with bookmaker. You would think they would have good options. And there fees are crazy. 50 to processor a **** on top of what I need to pay. Also you have to pay an additional fee to do ** or ** on top of the sending fees. The *************** option was solid but they said they aren't getting it back anytime soon.

    Yes it's random, especially with NBA games, some have very liquidity others terrible. Still hoping things pick up which I think they will once more people migrate from matchbook.

    Todd or anyone. Can someone get a sure answer on what exactly is allowed as far as transferring to and from Bookmaker, DSI and Betmaker. When I originally asked Kathy at Betmaker she said there are no fees transferring to and from all of these books. I did not ask and she did not mention any rollover required with a transfer so I am assuming there is not.

    The reason I ask is that I don't currently have any funds at Bookmaker or my DSI account and I would just fund one of those accounts, not take a bonus on the deposit and transfer it to Betmaker. Or take a larger chunk, deposit at Bookmaker take a bonus on 1/2 of it and leave that in Bookmaker and transfer the rest to Betmaker

    Todd, if you are still in touch with Betmaker management, can you tell them that their site is not compatible with Internet Explorer 9? Downloaded it a couple of days ago and it doesnt work. Thanks.

    Legions, Im sorry I have not withdrawn yet. I actually tried to - but was turned down. I made two $500 ****** deposits. Why two? Because I wanted to see the process of the 2nd one. 1st one too 7 days to clear. (5 were business days). 2nd one was immediate. In that time Ive gotten up to $3000. I attempted to withdraw $1000 - again to see the process - but was told my second ******* ******* was not clear yet. Today is only day 2. But the withdraw methods are still very weak. They need a $10 regular mail ***** available. I will email them about that today. $50 for a ***** ***** (up to $3000). $55 for a **** plus .5%. Or $80 for an $800 **/**. But I have been told they are working on these. So I guess for now these are the options. Im sorry I didnt respond to your question earlier - as I had not withdrawn yet so really had very limited information to give to you.

    I use Chrome now - and it doesnt work either. I had emailed them and they said Chrome just wouldnt work. But I will tell them about IE9 - as I saw advertisements to download it now also.

    Both of those options are listed for me right now.

    Last night was excellent - agreed. The night before was very weak. Dont forget - only a few people have their MB money. So hopefully continued improvement.

    If you have a bookmaker account - can you give me a detailed list of the deposit and withdrawal methods that are available - and lets see what we can do about getting those added. I do not have a Bookmaker account.

    I am going to email Betmaker now and try to get everyone some info about deposits and withdrawals.

    Ok guys, the email has been sent, and hopefully by the end of the day - or tomorrow at the latest I will have some detailed answers to all the above questions.

    Just looking at some more NCAA now.. I got down some nice spots on WVU and ODU MLs, and there was a ton available on Louisville ML. And Im looking at Kentucky to play today also.. and looks like there are some nice blocks available at good prices.

    Today looks to be pretty good. Lets hope it continues to improve!

    Someone just put up about $12000 on the UK ML - available at -900! Not sure if thats the best out there... But 5dimes is at -1140.

    Matchbook has $74 at -1050, and $2250 at -1500!

    No they dont unfortunately. They are working on that from what I understand. Thats my bread and butter.. so its very disappointing to me. And I hate the way 5dimes, SIA and all those do it. I want it MB, BF, TS, WSEX style.

    Bookmaker most definitely requires a 1x rollover on any deposit before the funds may be transferred to Betmaker. They also require two normal (not book-to-book) withdrawals before they will process a transfer.

    Making you play at crap odds on Bookmaker before being eligible to play on the exchange will put off most serious punters.

    I will wait to see what Todd finds out. That is quite conflicting to what I was told on the phone directly from my rep. Maybe i will just give her a call today to see what she says. She is of course on the Betmaker side of things so maybe it would make more sense to visit with someone from Bookmaker.

    By the way, things are even looking good at Betmaker today. Went in to check out some lines and was able to get down on Villanova +1.5 -104 for $600. Lot of good value sitting out there to be gobbled up. I almost hate it though when I don't have enough money to get all the good value that is sitting out there. Kinda like going to the buffet on a diet, whats the point of looking at all the good items if you can't eat it. I have my MB money now so would like to get a good chunk of that in but don't want to send money till I know all the particulars about transferring money in and out, book to book information, etc. I'm not going to get burned like I did on the initial deposit for 8% fee's.

    If they change their policy from introductory to a steady 2% then I will have interest.
