I believe there is a less than $10 fee for MG transfer.

If you can use Moneybookers I'd go with them, Matchbook allows unlimited free Moneybookers withdrawals.

Just do a bank wire... it's really not that hard and you'll have your money in like 2 days.

correct, MB does not reimburse the $9.95 for MG deposit.
And there is a 2.9% charge for deposit too.

you will get reimburse for bankwire.

i went through this. after 10 business days, get on Live Chat and explain to someone that it's been more than 10 days. I had to fax over the print out from the bank, you should have a copy of that. It takes about 5 minutes (well, my bank is next door to work), and then they credited my account in about an hour.

I've already emailed them a copy, they still say it hasn't hit their bank account and can't credit my account.

If I don't play parlays or teasers would matchbook be ok for all my bets, or should I have a back up book?

eyeball...you always want to have at least one other book or "out" because sometimes eggs at Kroger are seventy nine cents when they're a dollar and seven at A&P.

freebie...do I understand you right...they charge 2.9% for depositing? Is that on any amount? And on all deposit means? Or is there a cap on that charge?

the problem is that you shouldn't pay a dime in fees because ultimately it cuts into your profits...I recommend using methods at books where all of the fees are picked up by the book (especially if the book is -110)...it's hard enough to be a winning handicapper just trying to pick games...when you add all of the BS fees books charges, you have that much more work to do to turn a profit...plus, it's more principle to me than anything else...
