If you're not posting offers at Matchbook......

[Fishhead]

.......your a damn fool!



If you post an offer that is accepted, not only is there no fee, but Matchbook will pay you 0.2%.

[Nicky Santoro]

i would say 30% of the time, i don't make an offer. i do this because i see a great line already and i know that if i make an offer, it won't get matched and the line will move against me

for example

a game at matchy is +115, but a book like pinny has this game at +106.. if i make an offer for +116, and it don't get matched, i am fukked.. line will now be +111..but if i grab that +115, i now have it at +114 after commish.. so +114 is still a great price..

sometimes you have to jump on these prices asap without making an offer cause some guy offered you this great price.

Exactly!!!!

One has to stay on top of things when using MB............ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE MAKING OFFERS.

I agree with Nicky here, there is actually more money to be had in the longrun by accepting bad offers presented by other members.

All in all, a tremendous profit making site for the shrewd gambler.

I like the traditional books and -110 lines as it is easier to calculate, remember there is no juice if you pick the winner.

[Nicky Santoro]

remember there is no juice if you pick the winner.

wrong...

risking 110 to win 100 when you WIN (-110)

risking 110 to win 109 when you WIN (-101)


so you cost yourself 9 extra dollars each time you win at -110, compared to matchy's -101..

[jjgold]

Nicky I know what I am doing believe me.

Stick to the videos son. You're not a professional gambler like me and Herman.

[Nicky Santoro]

Nicky I know what I am doing believe me.

how is that?? jj, there is juice whether you win or lose.. you are fukked both ways.. so how do you expect me to believe you know what you're doing..

every game that you bet, you are costing yourself money by playing them at -110..


so no matter how good you are or how bad you are, all you're doing is throwing money in the toilet, and you are telling me you know what you're doing??

come on jj.. it's time to move up a bit and stop playing at -110..

even if you tell me rebate wager this and that, it still doesnt add up to playing at matchy. not even close.

Monyelines and Runlines: 0.6% accept side; -0.1% offer side (rebate).

Totals: 0.8% accept side; -0.2% offer side (rebate).

[rake922]

rebatewager sucks... you get 0.00 back if you break even... The rebate is on net losses

[Justin7]

Anytime you make an offer, you risk getting screwed by line moves. Making offers can be good, but you have to watch very closely.

[Mudcat]

People should definitely be playing at Matchbook.

Most players would be best off focusing on scooping up the great offers there and not worry too much about farting around with new offers.

i hear you.. these guys will jump all over your offer if there is a big move and if there isn't any move on it, it will just go untouched.

but i have a way to avoid this.. when i make an offer, 99.4% of the time, i know if it gets offered, it won't be on acct of a move.. i know what to do to avoid this.. my system never fails.. when my play gets matched, it's usually great for me..

be very careful here.. making offers can cost you big..

true story, go look on SBR LINES

i agree.. for new players or players who don't know what they're doing, just by playing what's available is great enough. they'll still get way way better than all other books combined..

but be careful.. when you see pinny at -146 and matchy ONLY -137, watch it.. there is a reason sometimes why it's so off.. that's because these pros want you to bet the -137 cause they know that line will move, and it will a lot..so you end up playing -137 and 4 min after, that line is -134.. matchbook has some really sharp guys.. they are ahead of the game, so be very careful.

man, i should write a book or teach classes on matchy stuff.. i know matchy more than anyone in the world..


well, too bad i am heading out for the next 6 hrs or so.. i'd have loved to continue talking about matchy.. later boys.

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

So can offer Yankees +330 and if nobody takes the Nats -329, you get stuck with the NYY +324??? That would suck. Not.

sometimes i leave it overnight and either not getting matched or getting screwed with the line move.

It is best to monitor your offers very closely if they are anywhere near the current line.
