Matchbook Sucks...........................

[Fishhead]

Matchbook wasn´t that good for NBA last season, i´d take Pinny if i had to pick between the 2 for baskets..

For mlb they are prolly the best, but doesn´t mean you can always get the best line on both sides of a game at Matchbook...some dickhead will block with 20k or whatever on the favorite, making it impossible to ever get a decent price on the dog.
For MLB dogs you need other outs..

I would seriously attempt to try and become a dickhead if at all possible.........(wink).

Very true, but it takes up the most room and is the heaviest and most often tool used.

take a look at the difference here when you make an offer rather than accepting an offer.


line is -185/+184.. in reality, this line is -188/+181 if you accept the -185..

however...

if you make an offer of -184 and it gets matched, you now have -184 instead of -188 (plus 0.2% for you)

talk about a big swing, huh? why would anyone now bet the -188 whereas when you make an offer of 1 cent better, you get less than -184 instead..

the swing at matchy is a joke. they should work on this to not make it that big a difference. maybe keep it at 0.6% like baseball.. fukkin matchy, i hate them now.. those greedy bastards..

I think you are wrong, Nicky !

-185/+184 is the line, say non-MLB, so we are using 1% commission.

You say -188/ +181 if accepting.

I get -186.8/ +183 or 3.8 cents, not 7 cents. Commission is on the lower amount.

You take a +184, 100 to win 184, they take a dollar if you win, that is clearly +183, not +181

Probably should have run the numbers myself...

At 1% commission:

-185 => -187.88
+184 => +181.19

Market width of ~6.69¢, theoretical hold of ~0.820%.

Ganch,

I believe that you'll need to modify your calculator. The 1% commission for any positive odds is now on the risk amount rather than the win amount.

there you have it, douglas, i am right again.. dougy boy, just read ganch's post and you'll see i was right........................ as usual

it is indeed a 7 cent crappy line..

TRIVIA/QUESTION/INQUIRY.........


You ACCEPT an offer at MB at +106 betting 100 to win 106.

In reality, what price are you really obtaining considering you have to pay 0.6% commision on the RISKED money, WIN or LOSE????

GO, but take your time,

Nevermind. I guess you did already.

LOL!!!

Nicky, before Monkey edited his post, he called you an idiot for being wrong.

Nicky you showed that fuk who was right for the 1,000th time...Monkey said Doug was right and Nicky was wrong...

Show me a book that has 7 cent lines ( or better) on markets with odds longer than 180, please...

Posting from my iPhone at a sportsbook and can't run the numbers myself. Just assumed he was wrong as usual. I'm man enough to admit mistakes unlike you bozos though.

onner, it don't surprise me that he edited his stuff after he was wrong..this kid has no clue about gambling but likes to pretend he's as smart as me.. he will nver be in this lifetime.. funny how he always comes into everyone of my threads and calls me a moron, just to make himself feel better.. onner, he tries but he cant compete against me.

i've forgotten more about gambling than he'll ever know.

[MonkeyF0cker]

How about a standardized IQ challenge for $5k, Nicky?

What does IQ have to do with gambling knowledge???

I did state to take your time, but it has been long enough...........don't let nothing but fear hold you back.

I expect answers from Monkey and Nicky on this one.

no..

i never said you were dumb.. you are a smart guy in everyday life probably. i bet way more than me too..

but when it comes to gambling, pls butt out and leave the gambling talk to us guys who know a thing or two about it..you are not as sharp in gambling as you think you are..


and btw, you'd put up 5k for this, but not for a contest vs me? lol

[MonkeyF0cker]

but likes to pretend he's as smart as me..

This part, genius. Obviously, I'd extend it to you as well but I doubt you can dig through enough dumpsters in time...

[Leverage]

He isn't talking intellect...

He's talking gambling...

you must have us mixed up..

Please. Just like the entire point of this whole thread where you actually thought MB was increasing commissions. Moron.

[Fishhead]

As Nicky stated, we both would probably lay -200 that your IQ is higher than both of ours...............but on the same token, we would also lay -600 that are gambling knowledge is greater.

No big deal, I think all three of us have above average IQ's and all three of us are way above the norm in terms of gambling knowledge.

I'm really not here to debate such trivial stuff and constantly listen to childish jokes............my main concern is that ALL OF US HELP EACH OTHER HAMMER THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTER.

Best wishes,
FH

[Nicky Santoro]

Please. Just like the entire point of this whole thread where you actually thought MB was increasing commissions. Moron.

idiot, once again you're wrong.. baseball is 0.6% and every other sport is 1%.. i only asked for them to keep everything at 0.6%..

this is getting boring with you.. you've come into my threads 239 times so far, and my record is a perfect 239-0 vs you.. that's because whatever comes out of your mouth is nonsense

you're nothing but a wannabe wiseguy.. it's too obvious..

[MonkeyF0cker]

You keep saying "keep everything at 0.6%.". IT WAS NEVER 0.6%, FOR EVERYTHING, MORON. It was ALWAYS 2% on profit for each market outside of baseball. ALWAYS.

[Nicky Santoro]

monkeyfag,

are you really that dumb or do you just play one at sbr.. wake up man.. i said matchy should just make every sport at 0.6% like bases.. never did i say they were always 0.6%.. monkey, make that now 240-0 lifetime record vs you..

will you ever win a battle against me..i doubt it.. if you haven't by now, you never will..

[Chuck Sims]

Matchbook is far and away the best. If you are not using them for baseball, then I do not even have to ask if you are a winning player.

[MonkeyF0cker]

You're so fukkin thick and such a Matchbook noob that you don't even realize that they've been offering reduced commission for baseball for years...

[Iceman]

Keep in mind Bookmaker coming out with an exchange this fall, interested in the commision structure there.

[MonkeyF0cker]

i only asked for them to keep everything at 0.6%..

What does that statement imply, genius?

[Nicky Santoro]

i want them to keep everything at 0.6%.. that's all.. is that bad? they should do this instead of being so greedy.

[Fishhead]

So greedy? They just cut commission, moron. Instead of -188.77/+180.32, it's now -187.88/+181.19 in your example. Cutting commission is being greedy? Only an absolute moron would think that. And only a fukkin retard would start a thread like this after they did.
