I expect -104 ( or better) for regular season, are you talking pre-season ?

Don't worry... that's pre-season. They don't do -104 on WNBA. It will be normal for normal games.

The normal game, and college lines are sitting at -107 right now as well, although they are obviously still a ways in advance. Last year preseason was -104, although the buy/set commission was different.

I assure you Mansion will have -104 for regular NFL, I'd bet my life on it, literally.

Nope I just talked to them, they said they have no plans to change from -107, but this could change as the season approaches. You can have -103 or -102 if you want to fade my football plays though Doug. I just hope they do not lose customers, maybe higher juice will actually help me sell at a better price. I think they had a problem last year, especially in college if they would get hit at a number like 2.5-3.5 or 6.5-7.5, and even if they move it a half point you could bet the other side and both bets had value.

There goes Doug's life. Sad really...

You speak my language!

I thought Mansion was an exchange where the customers make the market and hence the odds, is that not correct? If it is correct how could Mansion get hit by numbers like 2.5-3.5 and 6.5-7.5?

thanks

Because 99% of the offers on the Mansion exchange are made my Mansion.

Hello Matchbook, how are you doing? ;-)

I guess the plan is to get the players to make the market, and Mansion will kick start it at -107.

This may work. Pretty quickly somebody will try to play bookie, and offer both sides at -105, then lines will become similar to before.

The fees to a seller will become much more attractive ( 0.5%) compared to MB's 2%.

This is a well planned move, and I should have caught what they are doing when they cut fees.

I'm guessing NBA will be -107 also.

Doug - have you been re-incarnated or are you too chicken to go through with your bet?

Doug · 08-03-2006, 05:08 PM

Nobody took the bet.

anyone know if Mansion or Matchbook offers moneyline odds for
pre/regular NFL football?

I don't see it at the moment at either books.

Mansion had them last, year but who knows
