    Default matchbook's "the big boy advantage"

    get 2 weeks of commission free trading.

    These days, sportsbooks are literally crawling over each other to court the small recreational bettor. They throw him bonuses, reloads, free bets, and contests—whatever it takes to keep him happy . . . and losing.

    But who has a kind word for the wiseguys, the sharps, the steamers, the movers, the chasers, the beards, the scalpers, and the market makers? Certainly not the sportsbooks. Yet this cast of characters also plays a vital role in the gambling ecosystem. Isn’t it time someone extended them a helping hand as well?

    That’s why we’re launching our Big Boy Special for new signups. Here’s how it works: join Matchbook today, deposit at least $1,000, drop us a mail, and your account will be automatically set to trade commission-free for your first two weeks.

    It’s an ideal way to make big wagers at the best odds out there. And with football, basketball and hockey typically trading at -103 by -103 or better, Matchbook is delivering the best prices on the board.

    After your two-week window has passed, your account will be reset to our standard commission rate. But the good news is that even then your rate will be an incredibly low 2% across the board. No sliding scales or complicated moving averages are applied to your commission rate based on your trading volume. It’s a flat 2%, on winning bets only, with your profit defined as your total win per market, not per bet. That’s a critical advantage if you’re betting both sides of an event.
    Finally, remember that Matchbook is not a sportsbook, it’s an exchange. That means two things every Big Boy should love:

    1. Control over the odds

    If you want better odds than you see, just put up an offer. If -103 isn’t good enough for you, make an offer for +100 and get a price that would be unthinkable outside the world of exchange betting.

    2. Winners are welcome

    You don’t have to spend valuable time working the limits at a dozen different sportsbooks anymore. Matchbook has no reason to limit down or bar any player from the exchange, no matter how much he’s ahead.

    Take advantage of our Big Boy Special while it lasts; in a world of clone books with shrinking limits, you’ll be happy to know that size still counts at Matchbook.

    Assuming you bet pretty heavily generally, this is significantly better than the $50 bonuses they were giving away recently.

    I have been very impressed with them so far. I never thought I'd try an exchange, but I'm pleasantly surprised. They're one of my five favorite books now.

    I have. You can find some good prices sometimes. Usually only for a small amount though.

    Yeah im annoyed as well that I got none of the promos they are now offering new clients

    Reckon they should offer all their clients who have not benefited from any of these new promos a week free of com.
