Matchbook in-play?

Matchbook's currently the best exchange to use. They have lots of of offers like 0% in play football and 0.5% football asian handicaps. I think they only do in play tennis on the majors.

Can't get my head round commission on turnover though, like I have to pay them when I lose? Seems wrong somehow. Don't know enough about football to have much of a go on that but suppose with 0% doesn't matter which way the bet goes! Guess they're doing that to increase liquidity.

They don't offer tennis set betting but have games handicap and total games instead which I find really odd. Set betting is next most popular after match odds.

Agree!! Not sure why I would want handicaps on tennis? Set betting is a must-have for the majors, make far more money there. And can't be arsed to work out how many games would be likely in total games - set betting much easier to work with.

Just seen on their twitter they do have in play tennis for certain matches and that's 0% in play aswell. https://twitter.com/TeamMatchBook/status/521239662736576513

Shame they don't make that obvious on the site, good to know! Will take a look at the weekend. Ta.

Don't bet in-play on matchbook until you've established if they let courtsiders operate.
They could be as complicit as the operators of this web-site http://www.betfair.com who have let the scum flout their own rules.

bongo,

What Betfair rules do you believe are being flouted by courtsiders?

If you were in charge of Betfair, what would you change with regard to how in-play markets are operated?


In answering the above questions, please do not refer to the terms and conditions printed on event tickets. I would presume that those operating from designated race track rooms are working in full compliance with terms and conditions of the event. I would also observe that the ticket conditions probably do not apply to the feed providers who allegedly conduct much of the tennis courtsiding.
