Never seen so many 2 and 3 dollar bettors at Matchbook

Fishhead · 09-05-09, 09:03 AM

I really don't understand this!

Matchbook is made up of a high percentage of professionals and wiseguys but i routinely get nuts betting $2.04 and $4.25 with me.

Nicky, explain this one to me pal.

Fishhead · 09-05-09, 09:06 AM

Sorry for the vent, but I've had a very tough week treading water this past week and I'm very much on edge.........plus it's boring as shit around here.

fiveteamer · 09-05-09, 09:11 AM

I heard therx is pretty swell.

Maybe you should hang out there.

God bless.

Nicky Santoro · 09-05-09, 09:46 AM

3$ bettors????

try 1$ bettors. in my whole career, i have seen it maybe 598 times where my offer would go down by 1$.

i am not kidding either.

onthewhat · 09-05-09, 09:57 AM

I've had 25 cent bettors playing my lines

Not fun

Nicky Santoro · 09-05-09, 09:59 AM

you're right.. i don't know the exact in cents cause it would say 0$ accept in green, but it only says 0$ cause it's probably in cents, and they round it off..so we never know.

i am sure i've had bets accepted for 10 cents..imagine someone betting 10 cents on a game? lol

Matchbook is way overrated

Why join matchbook if you are going to be placing 10c - $3 bets

smitch124 · 09-05-09, 10:28 AM

sorry I will try to wait until I can match for a quarter next time...

That is funny Fish. No offense, but that is funny. A 3 dollar bet.

A lot of European bookies have a minimum bet of 10c - 20c. I can't imagine anyone bothering putting 10c or 20c on a game though??

Talk like that around here is liable to get you shot

Fiveteamer hit it on the head.

Fishy you brag about arbing for $5 profits, you salvage garbage to auction off at $20 profits, but you're dogging the $3 bettor?

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Come on pal!

Probably a lot of small grinders that bet both sides, scalp, etc. They find their way around and will eventually increase to bigger amounts.

Mudcat · 09-05-09, 11:50 AM

If you are bothered by 3 dollar bettors you are at the wrong forum. We got guys who bet freaking SBR points - and get all goofy about it.

3 bucks is big time to a lot of guys.

smitch124 · 09-05-09, 12:07 PM

I hope to bet $3 one day...

Sam Odom · 09-05-09, 12:10 PM

They, the $3.00 bettors, are the smart ones.

It's probably the equivalent of about 30 points. IJW2BP will track down bettors in other people's threads for payments owed of 30 points. I've seen him do it. This is serious business pal.

Nicky Santoro · 09-05-09, 12:16 PM

there are some nights i do wish i bet 3$ on every game when i go 1-16.. that's when i really envy those guys..

Those 3 dollar bettors can make 5 bets, turn the computer off, go to bed and check the scores the next morning. I envy those MFers.

Bread · 09-05-09, 12:38 PM

A $3 bettor is someone who hasn't learned to feel yet.

sammy, bleieve me when i tell you, when those 3$ bettors go 0-5 and lose 16.50$, they suffer just as much as us when they lose $$.. i know cause i lived it.. when i first started gambling very very young, i too was betting 3$ a game and i swear, i was sweating them out too and when i lost, i was sad and wanted to win it back..

it all depends on their bankroll.. a 3$ bettor who has 120$ in the bank and lives alone and pays rent will get hurt just as equally as a guy that has 800k in the bank and loses 8800$ in one day.. it would probably hurt the kid more that went 0-5 and lost 16,50$..

Exactly

FreeFall · 09-05-09, 02:23 PM

I used to bet $5 in the start when I was learning.

Doug · 09-05-09, 03:13 PM

I don't offer 5k, but I get a lot of 10 cent matches !

I wonder how these "dime" bettors were saavy enough to find MB ?, to get the best lines on 10 cent bets ? That's what kills me.

Rixsaw · 09-05-09, 03:26 PM

Talk to MB to see if they can enforce/setup your minimum and max. I suppose MB won't care because the longer the bettor has money, the more they make commission.
