Why we need another Matchbook

With a line of Joey chestnut -1800 +829 at ray corbinos favorite book,how could you bet either side at that ridiculous spread. I remember matchbook where you can basically bet either side with as little as a 1cent spread. The book would make a 2cent commision effectively laying -103. Even halftimes had vigs where you could get +money instead of laying money. Looks like people care more about action than price.

matchbook was amazing.

Towards the end they even had a dynamic bankroll thingie that if you closed out your scalp, they didnt hold your money till completion of the game/event but you got full use of your money right away.

Is matchbook still around in some other country?
 
You guys should see this SBK book in Colorado. Basically a modified version of an exchange. They can't offer exchange yet in Colorado per regulations, but they basically setting incredibly thin margins and risk managing off the pricing of the UK exchange. Check out this example I'm seeing now, but most big soccer leagues are like this:

Lazio +144
AC Milan +235
Draw +240

My calculator says that's an effective 0.25% house edge.

Or for the same game:

Both teams to score?
Yes -130
No +124

The line -1800, +829 has a hold % of about 5.21%, obviously not in the league of Matchbook, but its a bit better than -112/-112 or a symmetric 24 cent lne.

Those are great game numbers

Fuck Matchbook. When I was having slow pay problems at WSEX, I wanted to start transferring my WSEX funds there, since there was some connection between the 2. They turned it down. I also asked if I funded it another way first, and then did a WSEX transfer, would that be acceptable? Same answer.

Please cancel transfer request. Since my Matchbook account is newly opened, they would not accept my first deposit from another Sportsbook in Antigua.

Haha, 5000-1500. But it's evil to play offshore. Joe Asher will tell you that you are doing business with nothing but criminals lol.
