I have used matchbook for several years and it has been my number one choice all along. Obviously, this will no longer be possible. I will be looking for something comparable to replace it. Any suggesrtions? Anything as little as a list of web sites of exchanges comparable to matchbook but available to US clients will be greatly appreciated.
You can't believe a word they say, the " new owners" blame it on their lawyer's advice.
It seems WSEX actually owned MB until yesterday.
I think MB had a negative value to WSEX, as in to sell it they would have to include some cash ( that they don't have) to the buyer.
Perhaps they " sold" it to some holding company run by Jay Cohen, stiff everybody and then WSEX pays off they people they owe and tries to comeback ?
That's a wild guess but I wouldn't trust MB if I were Asian, European, Canadian, Vulcan, etc.
Who benefits most with MB gone ?
I think every book is glad to see them go. ( if they pay everybody)
5Dimes seems to benefit most (immediately) for those wanting -105, should be great for Betjam's baseball handle too ! CRIS might benefit if they can get Betmaker going.
Whoever bought wants to destroy it and fast....It would be good for those owed if CRIS bought it, at least you'd get paid.
It's all guesswork on my part, but this place can't function dealing to Europeans that have Betfair and others to use for their kickball bets.
Tell me why Matchbook can't transfer with places like 5D, Betjam, Pinny, etc anymore ?
I'll tell you why they cut it off themselves..... all of these places would have halted transfers immediately this AM anyway. Why would Tony, Spiro, etc. want MB to owe them BIG money ( or any money at all) as Matchbook gets sold like off scrap metal from a crackhead ?
You can't tell me the lawyers for Matchbook ( in Antigua, I believe) are worried about what the US gov't thinks about them transferring monies with other bookies in CR, Jamaica, etc.
I think you guys will be lucky to get paid !

I don't see why you won't get paid just maybe not the way you want the money back. I don't think they'd waste the time to send out their multiple emails if they weren't planning on paying all customers. Most would prefer a b2b transfer, but that doesn't seem to be an option. Given that I've got $1 remaining in my account, I think I'll let them keep it.
