I imagine now is an opportune time to discuss alternatives to Matchbook. Are there other exchanges available to US players? Are they as effective as matchbook?

I do a decent amount of arbitraging and rely on matchbook's + odds. What are my alternatives?

Move to the UK? (until country gets bonus banned from everywhere in next few years!)

dammit with matchbook gone my gambling career is over! it saved me so much money vs betting at regular books.

Not much really, 5 dimes maybe?

You just have to build your own Superbook. Know what each book offers, and negotiate a good deal where applicable. Once all the pieces fit together you'll never miss Matchbook (the lazy man's out).

Dark Horse I do utilize about 5 different books, but I would say approximately 75% of the time matchbook offers the best odds. I can't imagine how expanding my books from 5 to 10 would create a superbook that could consistently beat matchbook. I would love to hear a detailed explanation if I am wrong.

To answer my own question, apparently betmaker is an exchange similar to matchbook. I am looking at it now for the first time, liquidity is very crappy for the NBA, but then again it is Monday afternoon. Perhaps things will pick up as the day progresses.

LOL Burger king. Worked there 3 times already. Looks like i'll be going back.

No money on NBA totals at all at betmaker. None available or matched.

betjam, 5dimes, and betonline have dime lines for baseball

[actionjunkee]

yeah i'm very disappointed by this as well. any alternative sites?, let us know, spread the word!

I miss MB

Best prices around.

That being said,for anyone currently wagering at Betmaker,how has the liquidity been for baseball?

How much is typically offered on sides and totals?

[todd73nj]

none really, Betmaker has horrible liquidity...Matchbook is the best book there is in terms of getting the best price for US sports...for MLB and NBA im saving 5-10 cents of juice on every play.

Well then there must be something wrong with your computer.

Betmaker has better liquidity, price, spread right now than Matchbook did. Use a VPN, or Anonymous surfer, and do the comparison your self. Sure you will find a few games where Matchbook is better - but it 75% of the cases at least, Betmaker is better than or equal to Matchbook.
