Good day.....

I've read quite a bit about Mansion in various threads on the forum, and would just like to get some information from anybody familiar with them. I realize that they are a sporting exchange, but this doesn't interest me to be honest. Rather, can they be used solely as a "regular" sportsbook, without the exchange factor? And if so, does the reduced vig which I've read about so much still apply to make it worthwhile? Anyway, thanks and any facts would be appreciated.

They can be used as a sportsbook but is worthless as such. No reduced vig in the sportsbook.

Yeah, I thought I'd read something about that, but thanks for confirming it. Appreciated.

Mansion is of great value even if you never make an offer (in other words, just use it like a sportsbook). Just understand that I'm talking about using the EXCHANGE like a sportsbook, not using the actual mansion sportsbook, which has little value.

Because Mansion does not charge a commission for buying, you can bet into the available lines just like a sportsbook. The biggest difference is that the various lines will have drastically different max bets available. You may be able to get $40,000 of action on one line, and $57 on another.

You should check it out. Even without making offers, the best available line is often at Mansion.
