I submitted an offer and it hadn't been matched by nearing time to the start of H2
So I cancelled the offer and went and placed the bet with Pinnacle instead

I returned to Matchbook and put up another offer

Ideally player deposits should be held in a separate trust account and the bookmaker should only be entitled to access...

On Monday I opened an account and deposited with this book in order to avail of some reasonably artractive soccer [url="www.sbrforum.com/betting-odds"]odds[/url].

I placed a single bet on a Monday match at 0 handicap and the match was drawn.

Then before betting on Tuesday I checked my account to find that no refund had been credited. After a long chat session they admitted a glitch and that all should be fixed within an hour.
