How does that work?

[Doug]

Market makers get a special deal, and offer both sides trying to win vig.

Thanks Boss

It's also just whoever wants to and is confident enough in his number to post. In some cases, I'll post a line where none exists at MB, but only when I have backup from somewhere else.

[Doug]

when it's early you can only do ML, as far as I see you can't open a market on a particular spread.

Don't you just love idiots who don't know what they are talking about?

Yep, I loved the comment about market makers, no understanding of how an exchange works (like most Yanks)

[Doug]

Matchbook encourages you to try and trade both sides, then others improve the offers,

Market Maker is an advanced feature that makes it easy to trade both sides of a game. Just enter your vig and base value for the top runner, and MarketMaker does the rest. Activate MarketMaker
Create requests on both sides


Enter same stake for all offers
Reload AutoStake values


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter a base value and your desired vig %, and MarketMaker will generate bet requests for both sides of your selection.

during college hoops season, they'd put up an overnight line and let people make offers...I found that most times (about 85 to 90%) it gets picked up as long as you are too ridiculous with the juice you offer with it...

Sorry Jamie, you're wrong in this instance, though it may be a case of terminology. There are marker makers at Matchbook, though you may prefer the term "Bot arbing with other shops/exchanges". Same thing. They get a lower commission because they provide liquidity to the market.

Marker makers huh

I just wondered what stopped other people coming over the top of them, but if they are going 101% or something with another exchange I can see the point, do they have an ap then?

[Arilou]

Matchbook has an API for bots to use; e-mail them to inquire if you want to check it out.

LOL you don't think there are market makers on exchanges? Do you have a clue?

[Doug]

Matchbook needs what Mansion has. At Mansion you can offer many multiples of your balance if on different events. If MB had this, you'd have offers overnite.
