Why does every gambler on earth not have an account at Matchbook.

Cannon · 05-11-2008, 01:24 AM

I must be missing something. I think this is the future for people that want to bet up to $500 per game. If you want make a profit how can you not have an account with them. These bozos come on here and tout credit books and these C and D books.

I thought gambling was about making money. They don't have all that parlay ,reverse and teaser bulll

tt. I do wish they had more first half offerings.

The only problem I have ever had was they were slow grading a few plays evey now and then.

I have never ever had any problem of any kind getting paid. The checks are out of Canada and in US funds. My bank gives me credit instantly for them.

FVCK the credit books everyone touts. Get a Matchbook account.

also, book to book transfers are done instantaeously and for FREE.. betcris charged me 200 bucks for a small book to book transfer (f-ckin crooks)

i laugh at books like Olympic, cris and other 20 cent line books, 95% of the time, the lines are -104/+103, and 95% of the time, you can have up 2,500 on that game, easily..
big deal, even after the commission, it's really -105/+102.. still, a 3 cent line is much better than a crappy 20 cent line at OLY.

when a line is -120/even at oly, i will probably end up with the dog at +116 at matchy.. no

.. how can anyone turn this away? I get 16 cents on the dog more than oly on 81% of the games.

to me, just give me matchy only and i will be happy for life. i have 6 reduced juice books and 94% of my plays are at matchy.. the other 5 books make up the other 6% combined.

that's how good matchy is..

What other reduced books do you like. I hated a book called bestline.

Cannon · 05-11-2008, 01:39 AM

Also betting at Matchbook is more fun for. It is like the stock market when to jump in and out on a game. Also when I when a bet especially a live bet I know I just took some smucks money not a big sports books money but another players. That is so cool.

Nicky Santauro · 05-11-2008, 01:39 AM

5 dimes is not bad.. wsex for bases is not bad.. they have an 8 cent line up to they have an 8 cent line up to -120 and a 9 cent line up to -130, then end with a 10 cent line. not bad.. i also play with my local who offers an 8 cent line up -180.. even with all this, 94% of my plays end up at matchy..

I agree with everything said about matchbook. The only issue i have with it is that you can't bet openers on it. Exchanges just aren't designed for that so it is still essential to have one of the big 3 to be able to hit any soft openers that are available. If betting on game day though, i think you will almost always find the best line at MB.

Nicky Santauro · 05-11-2008, 01:42 AM

yeah, that's another thing that's great about matchy.. tonight for example, when Cavs were up by 17 in the 1st q, wsex live betting had them at -1150.. i made an offer at matchy at -630 and it was accepted. some clueless guy gave me this play at -630, and wsex had it at -1150/+733, so if i wanted, i could have scalped it.. but at that price, i am happy i kept it..

you're right, it's you vs the player, not you vs the book.

Nicky Santauro · 05-11-2008, 01:47 AM

coby,

you're right, they are not good for openers.. however, i don't bet openers. i usually start my betting 2-3 hrs before when all the lines are now a 1 to 2 cent line and the lines are sharper and more adjusted, and it's a great time to shop around for great lines, especially around 30 min before 1st pitch or even 3 min before 1st pitch.. that's when you see a lot of -188/+187..

at 9 am, lines are

.. you see a lot of -188/+172, and you can have only 43 bucks on either side. at game time, it's -188/+187 and you can have up 9,400 on that side.. or more sometimes..

Cannon · 05-11-2008, 01:57 AM

If the bozos on this site sent $1000 to Matchbook bet at a credit book. Example play the same games for $100 each. Lets say you go 100 Wins 100 Loses. At the credit book you are done broke finished kaput you lost a grand.

Matchbook same bets same amounts. You are going to lose about $300- $400 you got $600-$700 left to bet. Now I did not major in math but I think the Matchbook program is for me.

AgainstAllOdds · 05-11-2008, 01:58 AM

I dont know how to use MB or I would...

cobra_king · 05-11-2008, 01:59 AM

Why do you want to bet into sharp lines?

Around game time you will get the 1cent lines at -188/+187, but 24 hours before you might get +205 on that same dog. I agree matchbook is a must, but betting openers is a must as well.

Cannon · 05-11-2008, 02:04 AM

Yes sometimes you can do better playing openers but I just can't make my self bet a 20 cent line anymore no matter what. I know some idiots that bet with locals and lay -120 on totals 6-5. Try winning at those odds.

If you like matchbook, why not try betfair?

They have much more markets to bet, they offer several sports with live betting, and they pay fast.

I'm pretty positive cannon lives in the US, which means he can't use betfair.

Cannon · 05-11-2008, 04:19 AM

Yea US. Looks like the spread on juice is really high at betfair. Can US residents play there. I used to bet at Mansion also.

ChuteBoxe · 05-11-2008, 04:29 AM

According to the main site here, US residents are banned. I also double checked the betfair sign-up part of the site for ya, and the US isn't even an option on their country list. It's like everything else though, where there's a will, there's a way. I know guys in the US still using Pinny. I just don't really think it would be worth it to go through the trouble, imo, if you already have a matchbook, and don't play european sports.

fingas · 05-11-2008, 04:30 AM

no, US players cannot play there but canadians can. They have a commission high of 5%, in most games even after that commission their odds are the biggest.

jjgold · 05-11-2008, 07:41 AM

80% of players are into traditional sportsbooks and that will never change.

If they try Matchbook, that may change. The lines on there are unf!@#ing believable. If you bet daily, it's priceless. The amount of money saved over traditional books, over the course of a year of two.......

A decade from now we might not see many "traditional" books around.
