Default Are we seeing the beginning of the end of matchbook?........

in the 1st day of NFL, the markets weren't nearly as good as the past few yrs.. by game time, some teams had only 23$ on each side available.. almost every total and ML game had ONLY 232$ available to bet on each side.. and it was 1st day back, too. i have never seen it so bad before like this.

Have gamblers realized like i said that matchy is not as good as people thought it was. Have they pulled out their money from there, or just lowered their bets..Let these bums get greedy, i love it.. they have lost it.. no game #'s, shitty 8 cent lines for all sports, rude CS, 9 hr payouts. the poor kids actually think they are playing into 1 cent lines..lol..


soon they'll be down to 1 customer only, and that customer will be FISHHEAD, who will realize that this place is unbeatable after he goes broke there,which he will..

Fishler, get out of there, trust me.. you will NOT win..

not anymore, this place has gone downhill. payouts take forever now, they raised their commissions to 1%.. they couldn't keep it at 0.6% like bases.. they got greedy.. i hope it costs them business, which it has already from what i see.

this book will bankrupt everyone. people still think they actually have 1 cent lines..

the place was dead today.


i am soooo happy that i am doing a number on them the past month.. i have beaten them for record #'s, but i have lost a lot at other books. i love it.. i hope i continue to beat them like this..

i only bet 4 games a day there now, and lately, it's 4-0 on almost everyday.. and i even raised those bets, big time..

i hope i continue to kill them.

this place has gone downhill..

I like betting -110 lines at normal books where they have tons of betting options (parlays, teasers, reverses, halves, qtrs,ect, ect) like most other people.

But matchbook's lines are still better than the traditional -110. If you are looking to bet on the Packers, the -104 line is better than the -110 line, even with the 1% commission.

Also, how are you killing the book? Aren't you just killing the other players on the site? Not sure how you are hurting them, unless they are putting their own money up, which it doesnt seem like they are diong as much these days.

Richie loves me so much there.. when i call, they pull out the red carpet for me.. he loves me so much that he keeps feeding me reload bonuses.. he's a good kid.. i think he is starting to feel sorry for me..

today again, i am about to go 0 fer the day at phoenix.. once again.. i am starting to get used to it.. but it's ok, i will be beating matchy again today, i love it

so if any of you want to start betting at phoenix, you can't have a better time than now.. lots of money there, lots of nicky santoro money there,so you're safe..

Matchbook took a big hit in august. Insiders were seeding games and players cleaned up. I think what we see today is no seeding. I still dont like the WSEX connection.

justy,

sure GB -104 is better than -110, but do that for 4,000 plays a year and you will lose big at the end anyways, just at a slower pace.

durito, payouts are takign longer for me and now they are threatening me that they won't always do it and taht i should be happy they are doing it.. they are changing their rules on payouts for me because i have been asking for too many book to book transfers the past 2 weeks.

this book will beat you all, i promise, even if the vig is lower.. UNLESS you hand pick your games and only play very weak lines, which are still hard to find cause you are betting against sharps, don't forget.

when you see a great line, there is a reason it is so great.. be careful there.. do like me, i play only 4 games a day there, usually not more.. and so far, so good..

They've always had sharp lines. Since they started the offers just sit inside pinnacle.

If you are capable of beating sharp lines on major US sports right before gametime, then they are still great. But, I have very little interest in attempting such a thing.

I rely too heavily on my selections to have to worry about whether someone is going to take me up on an offer.
