Why would anyone bet anywhere else
Pinnacle -105 Vs -105
Matchbook -101 Vs -102

This is not the exception it is the norm

Could someone please explain to me why this exchange doesnt get more of a rap here

How does Matchbook compare to Mansion?

Thanx

I am a huge Mansion supporter, but I must admit that Matchbook is getting more of my plays now.

For US sports, Matchbook is the better choice now, but for soccer Mansion is way ahead.

Both books are seeding themselves, but Mansion doesn't do it on a large scale anymore. In the past they would seed hundreds of thousands of scalpable dollars on mlb, but those days are gone now.

Why Mansion didn't get more popular still amazes me, because financially they are in their own league. Their software might have been the downside...

The reason Mansion didn't take off is that at any given time you couldn't see any of these mysterious Great Amazing Offers (tm). When I decided to go to an exchange last year during MLB I looked at Mansion and Matchbook for several days. Matchbook was never more than 4 cents wide on a game. Mansion was often 10 cents wide or more and not once did I see an offer at Pinnacle's middle or better! I believe that the good offers must exist, but the decision felt easy. Mansion's software made it even easier. It's not that I don't trust those guys.

How did I simply miss this, MLB and NFL game after game?

Matchbook gets more positive talk here than any book out there since Pinnacle left the US market.

The thing to consider though is with the 2% comission, that -102 is actually over -104. So, if one did still have access to pinnacle and they had a -105 on a games and matchbook had a -103, pinnacle is the place to play that game.

I'll hopefully be playing there quite a bit come football season -- i hope the liquity on college games is pretty substantial, I exect that it will be.

You think a 10-20 cent scalp vs. virtually any book would last very long? Players hit those lines for several hundred thousands at a time so they were gone immediately. When Mansion opened, you could get free middles on the number 3 in NFL, so back then one didn't even waste time playing 5 cent scalps.

Those were the days waiting for the rush of 'seed' cash to hit the Mansion MLB lines (Usually about 5pm UK time) & all of those lovely arbs

Sadly those times have long gone now Though you do still get some decent lines there.
