Matchbook looks like opportunity for cross-plays
Posted by QuikSand under: Prediction Markets .
While there doesn’t seem to be a lot of depth yet, the offerings from Antigua-based Matchbook suggest that we may have another real entry into the prediction market game.
They seem to be mostly sports offerings, but have some current events and related markets set up as well. Worth a look.
Here’s an excerpt from some of their FAQs:
Who made Matchbook . . . and why?
Matchbook is a betting exchange designed by a group of venture investors and professional sports bettors with one common goal: to cut the bookmaker out of the betting process and create a neutral, transparent platform that players can use without any intermediaries.
We seek to create a global betting community where anyone - from the casual $5 bettor to the serious professional who’s been underserved by the offshore industry - can trade on a cutting-edge exchange platform at the lowest possible cost.
Sounds…worthwhile. More to come.
