I think it would be a great way for members of the forum to put there money where their mouth is when they disagree on picks or if they can agree on a fair bet. (i.e. olympic men's hockey)

I think most guys here put the money down when they talk. A lot of times we are betting against each other and the books are taking the juice!

As for playing futures at matchbook, I did it for the NFL, but one thing about futures is that it ties up the bankroll. I don't think I'd take a future that would take more than a couple months to be decided, unless I absolutely loved it. Plus, there is a lot of built in juice on futures lines, typically. After the NFL playoffs started, I started taking quite a few Super Bowl futures, such as getting around -110 that the Colts would not win the Super bowl. I think there was a lot of potential there for sharp bettors.
