    Default Any U.S. customers sitll able to scalp?

    Without Pinnacle, without Netleller, with less and less bonuses being offered, and with depositing and withdrawing funds in limbo I can't imagine anyone being able to scalp like they use to. Scalping was hard enough just six months ago.....I would think that the current state of the industry has paralyzed scalpers.

    Anyone still doing it???

    I can't imagine it either though I wouldn't agree with the 6 month ago assessment.

    No chance W/O Pinny,NT, and Mansion.

    straight scalping is probably tough, but if you leave bids and offers out on tradesports and matchbook, I'm sure there's still money to be made.

    It has to be really tough.

    I don't do it so I don't know. But, I've been on one of those streaks where everybet I make at one particular book, in this case matchbook, loses. Overall I'm doing fine, but now I have way too little of my bankroll there. Before it was a simple fix with neteller.

    I imagine this same problem makes scalping impossible now.

    Opportunities may be fewer, but they aren't picked off so quickly. As long as the lines move, there are always opportunities for scalpers.

    Yes I am. With Matchbook. Hasnt been that hard for me. I dont understand why people think neteller affected us soo much. We couldnt afford to pay the fee Pinnacle would charge us for depositing with them anyways. Now that I have gotten the hang of matchbook, I think it is even better because Pinnacle's lines were so sharp that you would loose all your money from pinnacle to the other sportsbooks too often. Now, with matchbook its w.e. the overall market calls and the books have the lines adjusted to this lines not the sharps and you can sell lines also which helps but can be risky.

    No way. The MB market makers follow Pinny.

    I can find stuff, but is question with whether books will pay. In this environment I only feel safe with a couple books. The books I am playing with now are largely just to clear bonuses that were outstanding.

    Yea some Market Makers use Pinnacle as a guide in markets where there is enough spread on the juice where they can make a profit. But when it gets close to game time the line moves depend on one thing only, the money from the players at Matchbook. There has been nights that I log on for 2 minutes and see 3 opportunities but there are night like last night that I was on and off all night and there was basically nothing

    I am taking my chances with betroyal, keeping my balance as low as possible though.... I know people here hate on them and I know its dangerous but I dont know another book right now that I can use for scalping with a considerable profit.

    They did pay me 6500 in 5 working days 6 weeks ago and I do hear that they are paying. I havent seen any outrageous bonuses, everything has been pretty much normal soo I dont see them trying to load up customers account to just close up shop.
