Matchbook

Mansion (SBR B+) because IMHO they have better lines, with higher limits. If you create your own price in their exchange - they only charge you 1% commission (assuming you win of course), as opposed to Matchbook's (SBR B) 3%; other wise Mansion's exchange is FREE (that's no commission on winning bets) Uhm...Mansion doesn't charge you to deposit money with them either. I normally use Neteller and baulk at Matchbook's 2.9% fee, which apparently they offset against winning bets. Finally, you get your money back real quick (assuming you win) at Mansion, which wasn't the case the only time I ever withdrew funds from Matchbook.

Hope this helps!

i think ourbet pertty much covered the reasons, but i too feel that Mansion would be the better choice.

I like Mansion better, but MB charges 2% not 3%, unless they changed it recently. They pay 9 am to 9PM daily and fast in my experience. The deposit fee is no biggie at all, since you get it back.

Definitely Mansion, but why not put 80% of your deposit in Mansion and 20% in Matchbook? You will occasionally get a number either way.

Beside the other reasons I prefer Mansion also because there is the option to use other currencies than USD. It seems Matchbook is not interested in customers outside of the US?!

Well I'm sure that attitude will change in light of BOS.

I think they are great used together...get a lot of low juice to plus juice sides and matchbooks, but never have to pay more than -104 for a wager at mansion...

I'm planning on signing up at Mansion for football season. I've only heard good things about it.

As for Matchbook, I can't comment on the payouts because I ALWAYS LOSE there. The neteller fees are steep, which is a definite drawback. But note that the neteller fees are "given back" to you in the form of commission credits.

The commission is 2% on winners, but if you deposit $1000+ on your first deposit, there is no commission for your first two weeks.

thanks.

since you get the 2 weeks commission free at matchbook i would start out there by sending them at least 1000. try them out for the 2 weeks and then take out half your balance and sign up with mansion.

by mid september you will be a pro at both places and can decide how you want to allocate funds in the future.

or do Mansion first if you think you require time to get used to an exchange, then hit MB hard for 2 weeks. You'll get the best lines during that two weeks, then decide which you like better, if you bet overnite Mansion is much better.
