None of my offers ever seem to get matched, has this become the norm with Matchbook or are certain times i should make an offer and then have higher chance of my offer being matched?
Thanks

All depends on how close you are to the market number. Keep in mind MB is typically 5-10 cents better than Pinny, so as long as you're in that range, it should get matched before kickoff, unless the line moves against you. That said, trying to get an offer matched for a Saturday/Sunday game on a Wednesday is tough sometimes unless you're significantly better than market.

It is maybe a stupid question, but I am trying to use MB now...so my question is this:
Example: I want to play Tulsa (-whatever it is)....so I have 2 options in my opinion, play it like any other book, or make an offer UTEP (+whatever it is now)...what is the difference in this 2 scenarios? thanks

I'm not sure what you're asking dimon. Are you asking what's the difference between offering and matching? Or is there something else?

Ok I will try to explain myself...let's say I want to play Army +10 tonight...what will be the difference for me to offer the bet Rutgers -10, or just bet Army +10 and take someone else's offer?

They list this on the site. If you offer and it gets accepted, you get a +.2% bonus of the wager added to your account (regardless of whether you win or lose). If you accept an offer, you have an addition 1.0% taken from your account to Matchbook. This is their way of encouraging action on both sides.

so it is obviously better to make offers opposite of your own picks, right?
