    Default Matchbook is pretty much worthless when it comes to college hoops...

    waited for over an hour for them to get some lines up, but these guys are getting worse...anyone else with an opinion here?...plus I hate those damn commission credits...

    sad but true Pags --

    not only is it slow, but once it starts it's just not liquid enough.

    But NFL from midweek on, and NBA from midafternoon on, don't have that problem

    Pags,

    Do you see offers on the big games? There isn't much confidence in the market for the low profile matchups. Maybe they are holding college games back longer this season. We will have to check it out.

    What if you could play the side you like at +135 instead of -105?
    Is that something you would be interested in?

    To me it's very useful in markets with enough liquidity, when I have a clear sense of where the line is headed and enough time to babysit it all day (and night).

    useless?.....cmon JJ. I always have matchbook up and refreshing constantly on games im interested in. You never know when somebody will make a crazy offer. Just today I took ODU at -5.5 +115 and everywhere else on the planet was at ODU-6 at a min. of -110. I do agree on lesser known games it is tough to get solid opportunities.....thats when other outs come in handy....aka pinny/wsex/betjam and in that order.

    Bill,

    I only got 2 bets down on my nine games ...no line on Illinois/ Ohio St., no line on Alabama/ Arkansas, no line on UGA/ Florida, no line on Kentucky/ Ole Miss, no line on Arizona/ Wazzu, no line on UAB/ UTEP, no line on Michigan/ Northwestern....

    not really acceptable if you want to be a top book/ exchange...these guys have gotten much worse than last year...
