Mansion should be upgraded

Are you serious?

**rm18** · 10-24-05, 05:09 PM

About which part? I'm serious about everything in the post though

Have they upped the money they're laying down? Never noticed it being that high in previous weeks - was surprised when I saw it earlier.

And to clarify, ALL lines are -104 with $109K behind them apart from where either someone has offered better pricing or someone has recently taken up a bet at -104.

They have received a number of upgrades. We like this book. They can make the 'A' group by next year but upgrades to the 'A' list take time. A new broom always sweeps good.

they just made some changes fairly recently. but, the do seem solid.

NFL has always been really high, college is still 9000 something, totals 18,000 something in NFL. The juice is -104, with commission slightly over -105,

you would lay 1050.40 to win 1000

No one else will even put these games up at $500 limits, that is really impressive to me

Out of interest, what's preventing a higher grading at the moment?

Highly recommend this place. If you're not using this book then you can be sure you're not getting the best prices out there.

I have read a lot of good things about this book.

**jjgold** · 10-24-05, 05:23 PM

They are hanging strong since last year

We have not started coverage of them yet at Golds

Yes I think an upgrade at SBR wil be coming down the road

**bigboydan** · 10-24-05, 05:28 PM

they were great til they decided to change some stuff. now there ok but, not like they were.

**tacomax** · 10-24-05, 05:38 PM

Change what stuff?

**Max Levine** · 10-24-05, 05:39 PM

Are you guys using the Sports Exchange?

Dan, which changes are you talking about?

**bigboydan** · 10-24-05, 05:40 PM

there exchange stuff for one.

I wonder if they are making a profit with their 1% commision. I have a feeling they will be moving up to 2% eventually (unless they are making crap loads now). If they move up to 2%, that should a real tell on how well popular it is still going to be.

I just wish more clients were willing to offer things on the exchange, if you want the Jets ML +325 just put it up and it should get taken

**rm18** · 10-24-05, 05:44 PM

that also would allow Mansion to make alot of money risk free and not raise commission

rm18, are you putting up a lot of offers yourself?

I have done it some in NFL, and while it sometimes works, often it is filled only when I could have got a better price somewhere else because the lines moved in my favor. If the lines go against me I don't get filled, and then I am taking an even worse price on the market.

I do use early in the week or when I can actively watch price to makes sure I am not taking the worst of it. Just some issues that are a drawback of any exchange I guess.

But you are right, at 1% for those taking offer and nothing for those posting, is still the best deal on exchange market if you can find bets to make.

**rm18** · 10-24-05, 05:55 PM

Yeh I'm putting up offers, mostly on moneylines not as much on spreads, because I can usually get the extra half point or more. I got that +325 that I used as an example. I wouldn't recommend leaving your offers a long time in advance as it probably won't get taken beofre the line moves, but on gameday especialy within a few hours of the game it is pretty easy to get takers on your offers. Although I do usually take my chances by putting up college and NFL at like 3 or 4 in the morning beofre I go to sleep.
