    Default WSEX and Matchbook Ratings

    SBR why is Matchbook rated A and WSEX rated C?

    Has the relationship between these books changed?

    What do you know?

    My understanding is that Matchbook has little to do with WSEX .......if they do, it's a small percentage.

    On what do you base your understanding?

    Some of WSEX ownership had a minority ownership interest in Matchbook. Whether that is current or not, they aren't the primary owners, and Matchbook hasn't had any recent slow pay issues, while WSEX has had many.

    This reminds me of the Skybook/BetMania rollout 2 or 3 years ago.

    When BetMania was unveiled, Skybook was tooting their horn about the relationship between the two books.

    Once BetMania started going to shit, Skybook claimed no relationship or responsibility at all.

    ------------------------------------

    Regarding WSEX and Matchbook, it's obviously in the best interest of both parties to downplay the relationship ... neither party would benefit from WSEX's recently-acquired "slow-pay book" status/baggage being carried over to Matchbook.

    Yes, a few months ago they had a contractor build a wall to seal off the matchbook CS from the WSEX offices...

    I'll have to disagree on that one ! [matchbook]
    I put in for a "check in the mail" approximately 4weeks ago..it still isn't here ?
    They might have delayed processing the check for a few days,however ,why the other 3 week,or longer wait ?

    ABEHONEST, A poster reported getting a check via regular mail to him in 4 days by Matchbook in the Payout thread. I suggest you call them.

    this is probably the reason people think they are part of the same company because sbr calls them that in the ratings section
