thank you Mr. X...I would assume the majority of the offers would be picked up within 24 hours of game time, because most people wait til the day of the game to bet usually...

I get maybe 10% matched. Though it's probably a higher % that my bets get turned into offers and matched before I can click cancel right away.Comment -
I should mention that a lot depends on how competetive of an offer you place. Most people using Mansion are sophisticated and are shopping many lines. If you put up an offer that can be beat by Pinny or another major book, your offer probably isn't going to be accepted. Every offer I make is at least 1 cent better than pinnacle and is usually better than any line I can see in the books I use.Comment -
good point as well...
this may be a silly question...but since I've never actually had an offer accepted yet on mansion, how do you pick up an offer that's less than the -107?...Comment -
As soon as someone makes an offer better than -107, you won't see the -107 anymore. You'll see -105 or +101 or whatever and you'll most likely see a much smaller max-bet number than those associated with Mansions in-house offers at -107. The process to buy the offer is exactly the same as buying Mansion's -107 offers.
I don't feel like I explained that very well, so feel free to ask for clarification. It might help to play around with placing some $1 offers and watching the board.Comment -
Mr. X,
so I'm on Mansion right now...I'm interested in So. Miss and the points vs. Florida (NCAAF)...I click on the game and all I see is -107 right now...how do I get the other offers to come up?...Comment -
If it’s showing –107, then there are no better offers. It always shows the best available offer. If you click on the “–107” it’ll expand to show you the other offers, if any, which will all be –108 or worse.Comment -
Correct. So what you could do now is bet So. Miss and adjust the odds up to +106. An offer will be made and now on the board you'll see Florida -106. Now anyone betting Florida will get -106 until your offer is filled. You'll get +106 minus 0.5% of your net if you win (effectively you'll get +105.47) and whoever matched your bet will get -106.
Of course maybe no one will bet Florida or maybe someone will make a better offer (-105), but you can cancel your order at any time and place the bet elsewhere.Comment -
Do they put up lines for 2H football games? If so, do a lot of people put up offers for them?
Thanks everybody for explaining so well. I just signed up there yesterday and have never bet on an exchange before either.Comment -
TLD,
I have to agree with you that Mansion definitely has a ghost town feel to it (as you mentioned previously)...there are barely any offers out there for college football...damn...Comment -
is there not a little increased risk with the slight savings? say you have a offer and your a star player is injured and only released right before game time. The market moves and your offer gets scooped up quickly. This seems to require someone to be right on all the game info second by second.......someone bets the spread they just forget about it and go watch the game pretty much, but savings do seem nice.Comment -
Absolutely. If you leave an offer up unattended you face the same risk that books with slow moving lines do.
Personally, I usually make my offers about 10-20 minutes before 1st pitch, and I watch them and my other books' lines like a hawk until my offer is accepted or I place the bet elsewhere.Comment -
mansion's not getting a whole lot of offers for college football...Comment -
ghost town affect TLD called it I believe...Comment -
