I have a substantial amount in Matchbook as I do all my betting exclusively with them. I know they have again been downgraded to a B-. After reading about them for an hour in the forums from various people I am more confused than ever. Is my money safe with them or am I treading in dangerous water? I have bet with them for along time and have never had a problem but am now very concerned. Thanks for any replies , I dont know what to do.

I'm thinking of pulling all my money out and not even betting the Super Bowl , I never thought I would have to be afraid of getting paid from MB.

If you feel unsafe, it is your money, take it out. Preservation of capital is rule one. Rule two, see rule one.

I do know someone who got paid 12K by Matchbook last week.

Peep is 100% right! PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL IS RULE ONE! That being said i made a MB deposit this past week.

If you are not from the US you don't need matchbook.

It might have some of the best prices across the board but for each individual game I can almost always find a better price somewhere else - which is not surprising when you think about it.

If I lived in the US I would find it hard without matchbook because you are left with only a handful of decent books amongst a sea of shit.

By the way, no way I'm completely taking off from Matchbook, as I cannot afford to................but I'm attempting to reduce my balances there, as I do with almost all books except BETJAM/OLY and HERITAGE.

Peep mentioned of a 12k payout with no problems.

I know an individual that has taken out 50k plus alone just this year, without a single hitch whatsoever...........personally, I have never heard of one substantial/significant payout problem from Matchbook ever.

I've lowered my balance at MB to just a few grand (down from low five figures). I need MB, but I'm concerned. too.

Thanks for the responses, I just hate to change books and have to pay -110 for hoops and then get ripped off in baseball season paying 20 cent lines.

I requested a payout from MB late last week. Received the check today. This check arrived sooner than my last withdraw from MB.

I have heard rumors from credit players at MB. So far the rumors have been completely false, including "expect 4-6 week delay on withdraws". Because of these rumors, MB no doubt had a run on withdraws. As of today, MB has paid as fast as they ever have. Is there a possibilty MB treat credit players differently than post-up players on payouts?

Note: Several posters here have been denied deposits at MB. Not something a sportsbook would do if they were "broke". The reason given for the denial was moving money through MB. A ridiculous claim by MB, especially since they require 4x rollover.

Do you know how to be able to bet at MB on credit? I would be interested.

Matchbook credit accounts don't get the.2% back when an offer is accepted, instead they have to pay the .2%. That is the only difference that I know of.
