Took a look at Matchbook's exchange yesterday. Odds and liquidity on tennis are reasonable, but no in-play? What's that all about?? Anyone used it much?

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.

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. |
