    NBA ATS action here 14 mins before 3:05 tipoff   TOR @ NJ

    $15K of wagers posted - plenty of liquidity, but a 7 cent spread between the two

    Looks like heavy MM activity, but few players posting offers

    A woman from BetMaker called me today and was very nice.  She told me she was my account manager and wondered how everything was going cause i just signed up a few days ago.  Im pretty sure that everyone who works at BetMaker is American/Canadian but they are living in Costa Rica where BetMaker is from what i can tell on the phone.

    Also I asked here if they were getting a lot of new customers becuz of matchbook and she said they've been getting a lot.

    I sent my email to betmaker on Saturday... no response as of yet - a bit dissapointing.  I will give it a few more days.

    A few of you said you would deposit and give it a try.  I'm hoping to hear about how it has worked to place offers, if they get taken, etc.

    I have noticed that the NBA markets show big bucks which would indicate good liquidity, but the most of the offers are at the -110/-110 range... not quite like matchbook.

    I'm one of many who used matchbook for years and are pissed they left the US market.  But I'm hoping that Betmaker can fill the void.

    I'm trying to understand Betmaker's commission structure.  They advertise 2% for sports bets, but then they get into a market rate and discount rate.  I can see that the commission structure favors bigger bettors, but I'd like to get some discussion going about their commission to educate bettors who might be looking for an alternative to matchbook.
