..start offering other currencies than USD, and putting up better lines (asian HC f.e.) for international sports like soccer?

As time goes by it will get harder for americans to play offshore without going through hassles, more bettors will leave the US or start using locals only again...they should look at Pinnacle, and realize that times are changing.

While I can understand your sentiments sir, however I doubt we see those types of changes on the horizon anytime soon there. Matchbook basically caters mainly to the U.S. markets and seems to be very happy with the services they provide to it's players at this time.

My guess would be a lot sir. Using your Asian HC comment as an example. That type of wagering for any site to accept is very high maintenance IMO, so I wouldn't seem to think it's very easy at all when it comes to upkeep.

[Tosser]

huh? the lines almost never change in soccer, only the odds..which are set by the customers.
If it is hard to look at the major leagues, copy pinnacle´s lines and let the market regulate itself, than these guys are bloody amateurs. Sorry..

moonbeam, you'd be surprised. There are a lot of idiots on this message board who support Bush. I know it's not logical but what can you do?

I can't speak for Matchbook, but in the very near future for WSEX.

This is not good news for Americans.

Moving away from the US market, to eventually pull out all together?

[TeamPlayer]

I think WSEX meant only that they would look to diversify by accepting other currencies and putting up more international sports lines

[WileOut]

You can bet your ass though that if they can get enough business going on from other parts of the world they will leave the American market without a second thought and I don't blame them.

Even though they are one of my top 3 favorite books, I wouldn't blame them for leaving our retarted ass country alone.

I've been moaning at Matchbook management to do this for years. They even already have other currency bank accounts that you can make payments to/from, they just don't have it on the client side, presumably it's a software problem more than anything.

That said, several years ago they said they were going to fix the inter-market liquidity problem (i.e. If I bet over 52 -110, then under 52.5 +115 my money should be freed up), but they've not done that yet either.

Matchbook is useless for non-us citizen becuase Betfair,Betdaq and WBX are 10 times better.

So Matchbook keep its Usa business and they do it well.

[Tosser]

MB would be far from useless if they would change some things for non-US..just look at the shit betfair pulls all the time. And they are an A book, how can they be useless?

[fiveteamer]

Was shocked when they charged me for my moneybookers deposit.

At moment they're useless becuase Betfair is 10 time better (maybe 100 time better)

More currency,more money wagered,more events..The A rating of MB doesn't matter.

If the will be add more currency and more events maybe they can be compared with other european exchanger.
