And once again I had to go to the old site to have a bet on MLB Oakland @ Baltimore as the game wasn't listed on the new site.

It is now, but wasn't when I wanted to bet on it a few hours ago.

Well today they were down awhile for "scheduled maintenance".
Pity they didn't forewarn us or put up an appropriate message instead of us having to keep trying without success.
And the maintenance...

The old site has now been changed to an older version!
I can't see the point in doing that.
It's not going to stop me referring to it when I can't get what I want out of the new site.
Just another...

That's interesting Scorpion. I don't have a problem with speed on the new site, just the old one.
I don't frequent other forums which have discussed Matchbook so I'm glad to hear it's not just me in...

done - and another one I sent in the meantime as well

sounds as though the glitches aren't only in the platform

I don't use a mobile device.

Yes it works.
But "just fine"?
Take a scroll back through this thread. It's full of glitches!

But in the meantime I've found the old site is up at http://classic.matchbook.com/

Attempts to load the old "classic" site now reporting ""http://classic.matchbook.com/index.xml" cannot be found or is not available."

I hope this doesn't mean what I think it might.

Mike???

Good to have you monitoring this forum Mike II.

Just letting you know that once again today I found the new site reporting inaccurate information. So I went to the old site and got confirmation of...

that's the new site
the old is at: http://classic.matchbook.com

you don't really need -0.5/+0.5 markets as they are effectively the same as backing your team or laying the opponent

You haven't been paying attention have you JJ?

By default I DO use the new site.

But there are so many bugs and inadequacies that I need to go switch to the old site to overcome them!

Dear Member,
We've noticed that you are one of the customers still using the classic.matchbook.com platform.


Unfortunately, we cannot support the old platform forever and in our first move...

Sorta but I've been using Matchbook for some years now and that's never been an issue. As with Pinnacle, the underlying odds are always US but if you choose to display decimal odds you see the...

I don't understand that explanation at all and suspect you've been fed horseshit.
I can switch between US and decimal odds with no problems evident.
And the old site interprets decimal odds ok for...

That's a pretty serious issue and one which I'd be referring to support. Have you done that?

Looking like Mike's no longer with us unfortunately. I wonder if anyone from Matchbook monitors this...

And still the old site has it all over the new site today:

Where's the NHL Anaheim @ LA game on the new site?
Go to the old site if you want to bet on it.

I take your point JJ, but ...
The glitches I've complained about on here all relate to new site.
I've been able to get around them because the old site is still available.
If I couldn't I'd...

Today the new site just won't load for me.

The old one does and is working fine.

Way to early to even think about retiring the old site Mike.

Not unless it really matters. Most of what I've posted here is just examples of inconsistencies between the two platforms. Not critical stuff.
I've had good service a couple of times on live chat...

Wouldn't know.
Is there any such thing?

Ah! At last the new site is reporting the correct amount matched.
However the game is well and truly over and that stake isn't included in the total showing as my current market exposure!
Who wrote...

The new site is again displaying inaccurate information Mike. Where are you?

It is reporting that I've got $178.50 matched on a soccer game and nothing unmatched.
The old site is reporting that...

u forgetting they don't have US customers?
college sports don't rate with viewers or punters outside of US
and night games in US are in the wee hours in Europe

Strange, I've had no problem with larger bets than that.

New or old site?

Sure you had a large enough balance to cover the bet? Perhaps it was making allowance for commission even though it...

And yet another one Mike.

After several hours with a golf bet not having been matched and bedtime looming I decided to take what was on offer at Betfair instead.

Went to cancel the bet on the...

Another example of why the old site must be retained until the new one is made to work properly:

Where can I make a play on the R1 match play Kaymer v Matsuyama on the new site Mike?

It's there...

And now I can't get the new site to load.
Fortunately the old one did and I was able to place my bet just before the game started.
Mike, don't let them take down the old site until the new one...

I've found out this new site once again Mike.

Currently for totals in the NBA game Miami @ Utah there are different odds and liquidity available as compared with the old site.

I know for a fact...

Mike, don't go shutting down the old site until the new site works properly.

Today's example of how poor it is:
On an NBA game I have placed bets at two different odds. The matched bets window is...

And another example of poor page layout Mike: Golf winner market has a massive blank space between the player names on left and odds on right. Somewhat difficult to line up names with odds without...

Yeah, it is there now but most certainly wasn't when I was trying to bet. Had a similar instance (see earlier post) with a soccer game yesterday.

Mike, this really is ridiculous!

Today I find that the NBA game Sacramento @ Dallas isn't on the new site and I had to go to the old site to bet on it!

Yes Mike, they are on the betslip. What I dislike is that they are not conveniently displayed on the betting screen like they are on the old "classic" site and at Betfair. One has to open up a...

Mike, I really have been trying hard to wean myself off the "classic" site onto the new one but I find it imperative to keep referring back to the old site to get correct details.

There are...

Yes, I've been trying to get used to it but some things I just don't like when compared with the classic site.

Based on my experience over the past week or so I strongly suspect that Matchbook has deliberately slowed the response time for it's old platform to encourage players to migrate to the new, less...
