    Default Matchbook, their Trading Department and NCAAB.

    I prefer MB as my book of choice for all sports but sometimes they make it very difficult for me in NCAAB because they like to sit on lines.

    I have contacted their trading department regarding this and had a nice conversation with them and they told me to contact them by phone or anyone on their live chat to tell the trading department to open a line on a certain event. In the last few weeks they have accepted all my requests.

    I know there has been complaints in here and around other forums regarding this so id figure id share this so others can have this option, if needed.

    Do you mean they keep the same spread and let the market adjust the vig?

    Pretty much. Indiana line is still -1.5 and its 2 and even 2.5 at various books.

    To get a bet down on Indiana -1.5 its gonna cost you 19%. I requested a market for the 2 spread and put money it in and everything is good now but i dont know if someone else or if they would have opened a market for the 2 spread if i didnt ask.

    If -1.5 -119 doesn't have value, take +1.5 +11x or post an offer or pass. I don't understand what the problem is.

    -1.5 -119/+1.5 +115 has a theoretical hold of 1.82% (w/ 2% commission). That's no where near 19%. And better than the 2.38% you'd pay at pinnacle -2 -105/+2 -105
