    It was a throw in when they bailed out Las Palmas
    And you can not expect an operation who makes most of their money on the credit side to start running an exchange properly
    Look at bet Fair they have 5 offices complexes through out the UK just to deal with the BS
    you think you can find enough Ticas who are competent enough to handle that many players if they real tried

    Doesn't seem (at this point) Bookmaker has much interest in attempting to run a betfair sized operation... Just speculation on my part but looks to me that they are just hanging on to this in case the climate changes towards offshore gaming in the US... Without the ability to easily move money I don't see how any US facing exchange could be profitable currently...

    You have been living under a rock? There is a long thread right here: Betmaker Review - In progress.

    Great potential, but unfortunately it seems they don't want to improve it fast. Maybe they are concerned that it may take profit away from the main booking operation?

    I'am pretty patient, but out of 60 bookmakers, Betmaker are the first bookmaker that i dont manage to get contact with after 3 (or 4 mail) over a period of several weeks.

    I always use live chat, and they are quick to response, even quicker than BM and DSI.

    Not only does JJGOLD not post at other forums, believe he never posts or lurks at any subforums here at SBR................

    Coach, at least take a peak in the SPORTSBOOK INDUSTRY forum once or twice a week........you may learn something of value there and avoid being blackballed by a bookmaker.

    Betmaker is improving a bit for college hoops, but the most you can get down is a couple hundred a game. Someone in the betmaker review thread says they are trading hundreds of thousands live in NFL... But I havent seen it. I play there though. You know you will get paid at least!

    Wasn't Betmaker bought by Bowman's at one point, or vice-versa?
