Would appreciate some advice...

[genyes]

I am going to be closing out an account with a sub-B rated Book (that I had because I was getting some good numbers) and am wondering what high rated book to transfer my money to, or if I have enough outs as it is.

For low-juice I have accounts at: Cascade, Mansion, and Matchbook.

I also have an account at Skybook because I can get a free half point in the NBA on Fridays. And I have an account with Sports bet because I can get nickle juice on Tuesday and a free half point on Thursday. I recently opened an account at 5 Dimes because they offer nickle juice on televised games and dime lines on hockey.

Naturally, I am concerned about the security of my funds but I also want to get a good deal. The top rated books have reputations for financial security. But other than that what do they have to offer? It seems to me, that they all offer the same lines at -110. What's so great about that?

Appreciate your thoughts.

I think tradesports is worth checking out. It's an exhcange like matchbook, but I find it more intuitive to use. Fees are comprable. I put all my sportsbook/neteller money in there. They claim to keep customer funds in segregated accts with their bank and you can request bank statements for free if you have a ton in there (if you have a more modest amt, they charge for it).

They have a C+ rating on here. I believe this stems from ambigious terms in some of their contracts (usually props). Sports stuff is pretty straightforward. I think they are considered extremely safe despite their rating. I'd like to her the mods thoughts on this though.

A downside is the liquidity in non-major sporting events is lacking. I'm not sure how their liquidity compares to matchbook.

Korchnoi, do you use the trade interface or the 'express' interface which looks more like a regular book?

I am trying to decide between tradesports or matchbook as the next exchange I open an account with.

I think tradesports is way better than matchbook for exchange type betting, tradesports platform is 200% better than matchbook and way more betting options. The liquidity is about the same on all the tv games.

I use the trade interface becaues I find it more intuitive, partly because I've used it since before they offered the sportsbook interface. I guess the sportsbook interface would be more similar to Matchbook, so you might want to use that format when you're scalping the two. Make sure you have a good understanding of the commission schedules.
