Hi all,

i'm new here, all the interesting subjects seem to be further up the food chain but i'm here so thought i'd start a thread anyway.

Do any of you guys have exchange accounts at Matchbook along with betfair?

I belive US citizens can't become members on betfair. ??

i've noticed prices in sports such as Golf, Tennis, World cup football, and other events Euros and yanks are interested in change at different rates opening opportunities.

eg World cup last year Matchbook Spain win 14
betfair 10ish

any thoughts

is this the sort of stuff you guys are interested in here?

Hi,

Interesting question :

Arbs are definately wot some mebers here would be looking for - so long as u can guarantee payment from both sides.

www.bookmakersreview.com gives a guide as to the good and bad.

I cant find a rating for matchbook.com, whic I take as a negative .. but, a positive was this press comment :


Elsewhere, Matchbook.com officially launched its online betting exchange, following its successful spring 2005 beta launch.

The Antiguan-licensed Matchbook already has more than 2,000 users which match $10 million in bets per week.

According to Tom Ramsey, Matchbook's Vice President of Development, American sports bettors are taking to exchange betting even faster than their European counterparts have to date.

"Exchange betting has already shaken up the $30-billion European sports-betting marketplace, and now the North American market is experiencing a similar transformation."

"The North American marketplace has seen only one significant development in the past decade: the rise of online sportsbooks, which ended the monopoly held by Nevada-based and illegal bookmakers," explained Ramsey.

"But online shops still book by the same old rules. As the Europeans have demonstrated, when people can bet directly with each other, betting markets become notably deeper and offer much tighter spreads," he added.

So, maybe its worth dabling with .. if u fancy chasing your cash from an Antiguan based company.

Thanks

I hear what your saying and would add that i've had an active account for about 8 months with no problems..........apart from them not giving me the numbers i want that is! But i wouldn't keep too much cash there. you never know

Some US fellas i know use it all the time and say it, along with Mansion are making US sportsbooks a lot more competitive.

I'm interested in the type of wagering you guys carry out, is it based upon a mixture of knowledge and opinion? i saw one interesting post talking about neural
networking

I've been betting on matchbook without probs for about a year, mostly for the purpose of arbing out bonuses. There seems to be some useful information in the prices if predicting line changes is your thing.
