    Default Matchbook question...

    I asked this question at MW, but didn't get any answers. Maybe since they're a sponsor here someone might know.

    Do you think they are waiting for some level of critical mass before they list games with multiple spreads like Mansion does?

    In other words, if a game opens at 3, why not have 2, 2.5, 3.5, and 4 available too? That way if/when the line moves, people will have the option to float from one line to the next.

    There's a distinct difference between Mansion (well, in it's heyday) and Matchbook. Mansion had an exchange but the majority of the bets offered came directly from Mansion themselves. Conversely, Matchbook use a series of market makers who put up the money on the site and get a reduction in commission for doing this.
