Funding solutions was their problem and hence their numbers just dwindled post 06 - Inevitable. Looks like they are going to pay everyone out.

They were ahead of their time.

Betting exchanges are the BEST way to gamble on sports.

BTW, Intrade is not closing up. Tradesports spun off Intrade a couple years back to do non-sports markets, like politics. I guess they want to focus on Intrade.

I bet Matchbook took a healthy chunk of their market share.

Sounds just like today's Matchbook... hard to fund !

I think funding was maybe a part of the problem, but not the main problem. It was liquidity. Just didn't have a lot of traders. Matchbook has way way more trading activity and has a much easier interface to use.

they still need funding methods, and badly !
