    Betting Exhanges for US Customers?

    I am far from a big time gambler (bet a lot of games but for very little money), but I did enjoy Matchbook. I liked the whole idea of setting my own lines and am finding this -110 nonsense hard to go back to lol. Are there any decent betting exchanges (meaning reputable and has a good amount of US sports to bet on) that will take US customers? Thanks for any advice you guys can give.

    Thanks for the info. In your opinion, do they offer the same value as Matchbook?

    You pay a 2% commision on winning wageres.Nothing on losses.If they lower baseball
    to 1% the will offer as good a value on baseball

    i looked on betmaker yesterday and some of there nba lines were better than pinny, but most were worse. no liquidity.

    i dont know wat matchbook are playing at pulling out of the us.

    im from europe so can use any site but i liked matchbook for american sports. they will fail in europe big time!!!!

    If Betmaker keeps their commission rates at reasonable levels there is nothing stopping them from scooping up all of Matchbook's previous customers, I just posted up there and it is okay so far, hopefully it will work for baseball which will be the true test.

    How is the payout? when you request a payout, do you have to call in or talk to live chat?

    Betmaker needs more liquidity. Hopefully this starts to improve soon.

    There is a rumor of them not only returning to the U.S., but also adding an exchange.


    BETMAKER
    REBATEWAGER EXCHANGE
    PINNY EXCHANGE

    There may be 3 exchanges coming before the end of the year.

    Any other options besides "Betmaker" (U.S. customer)? I am interested in trying out a betting exchange.

    Posted over you, "Fishhead", Rebatewager Exchange is not extant, correct?

    any exchange (or low juice book) is going to run into same issues as matchbook did in the us, difficult to find a reliable processor who doesnt charge an arm and a leg...books can offset this cost with the higher juice.
