    Matchbook.com question
    Hi.
    It sounds like matchbook is one of the better places to go to bet football. Considering how hard it is to get money in and out of books, I want to make sure it is the right place for me before I deposit.

    I'm planning on betting between $200 and $800 on the games, on both spreads and totals, in the NFL and College. Will it be a problem getting decent lines for that action? Is there a lot of action on the college football games?

    I wish I would have checked them out during the season last year, but since I can't go back I'm hoping someone can pass along some details.

    Thanks!

    Depends how early you want to bet, on gameday it's fine, earlier in the week you may not get $800 in one go on College, when the lines first went up they only had $500/side often.

      Get a second out at a traditional sportsbook and you will be totally covered.

        I do advise you to get BetJamaica or thegreek also because you can get withdrawals from them easier to go along with your matchbook.

          Withdrawals at MB are the best around.

            I wonder when Matchbook will offer accounts in Euro to be more competitive in comparison with Betfair?

              Probably never.

                You may be right, but I hope that so many european players will bother them until they change their mind.

                  if u don't bet more than 3-5k a game, betjm is your best option aside from matchbook. matchbook only pays out in checks, and to be honest, i'm not crazy into the whole check thing. a check is just a promise to pay, it's not worth anything until it clears. in this industyr, you can never be too safe...

                    I've suggested it in the past, they just say that they will cover reasonable conversion charges for deposits, but of course they don't account for the depreciation of the dollar.

                    Still, I pretty much have to play there, euro exchanges are pretty useless for most US Sports.

                      I requested a payout on thur. from Matchbook and it's still in my Matchbook account... How long does it take them to take it out..? I hate that about books that don't take it out right away (most don't)...

                      That's another thing I like about sportsbook... it comes out of your account right away...
