Yes I agree matchy is great but here's what I dislike about the new commission format
Offers made well before gametime almost never get matched, there's like a frozen period, now eventually that line moves and all the odds on that side of the move are of course accepted but the other side is completely unmatched
Give ya an example of recent game and why I dont like this:
Odds available were -117/+115 on tomorrow's NFL preseason game so I stick in a bet (wisely I thought) at -116 on Buf +3 since there was clearly a gap to enter and be the first one in at those odds, now my bet just sat there all yesterday, I placed it in the afternoon and went to bed with it still up there, STILL FUKIN UNMATCHED!!! Now I check the lines now and see it was completely matched but fuk the lines moved down to -112/+111 by now so the only reason it was matched was bc -116 was 4 cents worse than the current line
So what's the point in offering rather than accepting well ahead of gametime, bc theres no chance of you getting matched unless the odds move against you then the comm u saved by offering is just blown and then some on the worse odds you got than the current line
In short my problem with the current matchy system is that there is almost no reason for a person to ACCEPT a bet well before gametime (when they have to either accept it or not have a bet) UNLESS the odds are moving then they just take the good offers (at least the good ones that weren't being watched constantly and taken down the moment the line started to move) and leave the bad ones
What's the point in offering a one cent line and not getting 1 dollar matched for 12 hours then getting screwed when you go to bed that night and wake up to a line that's moved 5 cents?
Offering a couple bets at matchy a day or two before gametime has convinced me that the vast majority of bets must be placed within like 1 to 2 hours before the game, I'm talkin like 90%+, offering and getting in at a good number early on at matchy is basically impossible
