    Default Matchbook Volume Very Flat

    They need usa players back credit and non credit or I see this book being bought out or closing

    The U.S. needs an exchange.

    Only taking USD but not US players for months lol, they are obv. stupid.
    Noone wants to pay foreign exchange fees when he doesn't know that he can get his shit matched.

    Yes, that's very disappointing that it's taking so long to add more currencies, but you will get bets matched at better than Pinnacle prices up to a few thousand in almost all US pro sports markets.

    You are missing the point here, i don't want to bet into sharp Pinny cloned lines.
    You would need early volume to make it worthwile and have beatable odds, why are you always leaving this simple fact out if you claim you are doing good there.

    You don't get early volume on exchanges.
    I simply attempt to get the best odds for my bets when I've decided on them.
    And that is invariably at Matchbook and it's working very nicely for me.

    So you are a square betting sharp odds and having a bit of luck (if it's true), you make a lot of wind here over nothing while annoying most of us.

    I heard that there will be a forum bookie exchange this year. Some of the poster's are trying to set this up as we speak. Be on the lookout for a familiar posting name soliciting you.

    So are you too joining in with those cowards who are keep calling me a liar?

    "over nothing" ?

    I simply post my experiences for the benefit of those who may be interested. If you're not I don't care.

    No thanks.
    Odds and liquidity well short of Matchbook's.
    Costs of sending and receiving funds too high.
    And books serving the US are at heightened risk of being shut down and funds lost.

    No, i don't care for inet hero shit. All iam saying is that if you bet Pinny clones, you are lucky to be succesful.
    Unless you have a genie in a bottle or some other mysterious tricks

    I have no genie or magic tricks.
    "Pinny clones"?
    I have access to the best of books and exchanges which don't serve the US market.
    If there's a better strategy than seeking out the best odds available from all of them I'd be interested to know about it.

    A lot time you will see lets say Mets have $2500 for example at +107..that number sits along time
    Also many figures are nice common round numbers

    Well??

    Volume is seeded by book..I mean no big deal because you can get good numbers but it just means that are not getting much player action

    Books is safe....they need to open it up back too all

    more players and more action would certainly be welcome
    but not opening up to the US again, they would be much less safe imo and I'd be outta there
    if they introduce say Euros and AUD that would be a big help
    so would reversion to commission on net market profit rather than every bet

    Those who live outside of the U.S. like Hareeba seem to be extremely arrogant.

    When Full Tilt closed out U.S. players on April 15th WITHOUT processing U.S. withdrawals, there were still 1000's and 1000's of non-U.S players playing there and many of them posted that things are just fine with Full Tilt.

    Even though they were fully aware that FullTilt was stiffing over half their client base, non U.S. residents continued to trust them and I am so glad they all got burned.

    I sure do miss Matchbook but I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if they went offline taking player balances in the process.

    I just do not know how they can ever get good volume

    It seems every exchange the last 10 years has failed or just remains a very small pee in the pond compared to betfair

    Why can no one even dent betfair a hair??

    matchbook is great
    and i'm sure there will be more improvements within the next few months , but you have to give them some time.
    As of now they are still the book which takes most of my action simply because i'm able to get the best odds there.
