      finally an intelligent guy.. douglas, i am so surprised with all the sharps here than not one poster even mentioned that.. it was on top of my list here and not one guy even blinked.

      it is IMPOSSIBLE to bet the college boards without game #'s and matchy does NOT have that..

      if you are a professional gambler betting college sports, you can forget about betting at matchy's with no game #'s...

          has anyone else noticed a new shitty thing about matchy now? this just new.. how fukkin shitty is this?

          now they split up the board with regular games and live betting games.. meaning,, like now... 4 games left.. if you click on regular games, 2 come up.. then to get the other 2 games, you have to go back and click again, this time on live games..

          before you just clicked once and you get all the games.. do you have any idea how frustrating this is.. extra work and extra clicking for nothing..am i the only one seeing how shit this book is now..

          so you can now add a 5th complaint for me with matchy.

          i am so happy i am beating the hell out of them the last month.. and losing to everyone else.

          I can't believe how much i used to love this place.. i was their spokesperson before

              darky,

              i know you're a smart guy.. but you know, there were 2 games at 8 pm.. i had to click on the SEA game, then to see MIL game, i had to press back, then click on MIL game.. and i work at night in living room on a slower pc than office, so it takes forever to click those buttons..

              why can't they put those 2 games together.. why why why? is it that hard?

              and i quit betting any college sports.. NO fukkin game #'s at all.. how can i follow this? IMPOSSIBLE.. put up game #'s

              and is there a way to make AL and NL games start with early games, instead of AL and NL separately? why not put in all 7 pm games first, and so on in order? i hate having to only look AL, then have to switch to NL?

              or can't they at least put all the games on one screen, so we don't have to keep switching? or at least give us an option..

              I am now at 7 complaints for matchy...

              matchy, this is for you..

                Nicky: What you say is true.

                -108/+107 does indeed become -110/+105, and -200/+198 does become -203/ +195 ( approximately).

                However those spreads still beat the vig at every book, I know of. You might be able to shop a better line, but MB is still going to beat even Phoenix and 5D much of the time. These shops with -105 still have a 10 cent spread instead of 5 cents near a pick line, and you can lower the MB spread some by making offers instead of accepting them. The 8 cents near -200 is still far better than anywhere else.

                MB is still the best deal most times. If you are going to bet, you should have MB.

                FH could win your challenge, all he has to do is hit something like 52%....not impossible.

                  A large percentage of my decisions are OFFERS that I've made..........MB is paying me to be a bookmaker.

                    Completely agree with this. The constant back and forth clicking is maddening. I really don't care whether I'm betting on the NL or AL, just list them all on one page, order doesn't really matter, rotation # or start time, as long as I don't have to go back and forth all the time between the game listings and the live markets.

                    Make it happen Matchy.

                      Fish is correct. If he makes an offer for $100, say somebody +3.5 +100, and I take it, I'm risking 101 to win 99. He's risking less than $100 to win my $100, so he wins at 50% making the offer.

                      They are not charging him on the they ( if he wins), they got $1 from me, already.

                      Nicky's example is more like this:

                      Nicky accepted a bet, but then realized he bet the wrong game ( because of no rotation numbers), so he buys out of it, to just lose some vig, so he has a 5 cent line.

                      Fishhead just needs to hit about 50% to win, if he only offers, but realistically he accepts some, so 51% probably wins FH a little money....disregarding ML bets.

                      Take Nicky's challenge, Fish !

                        Not into poster challenges.........but as stated, if MB leaves and their is no replacement, you will not see much of me at SBR any longer.

                        Keep in mind, there are MANY stale lines on a daily basis at Matchbook, so on those I'm taking a GREAT, GREAT number and gladly pay the commission instead of recieving it as I do with my offers.

                          You can get some nice matches too, on minor stuff like 5 inning lines.

                              NO JOKE.. i swear...

                              it hasn't stopped.. still pummeling matchy and losing to PHOE like nuts.. i have beaten matchy for so much the last month,it's not funny. i am like 49-11 in my last 60 bets there and betting some really big #'s too..

                              phoenix loooooooooooooooooooooooooves me now.. they are starting to really feel sorry for me now.. Richie is this close to offering me a free round trip airfare to CR, 1st class in a 5 star hotel for 2 weeks cause of my losing there. i jsut can't win there,but at least i am hammering matchy.. BIG TIME.. i love it.

                              fishler, you are better not to take my offer, cause i swear you WILL LOSE... all your matched offers will go against you 2 min later when the line goes the other way.. and the ones you take right away, you will play into an 8 cent line..

                              you have ZERO chance of beating me here..

                                Rotation numbers are available via the API, which EVERY handicapper that has a clue uses on Matchbook.
