im going to have to agree with JJ on this one... STOP whining.. i understand that depositing is tough, but use **.. they still except it and it is very easy.. 2500 a day... as far as all the other stuff.. if you want to bet parlays , teaser, 2nd quaters, games 6 months in advance and all other bush league type bets go somewhere else.. If you want to bet huge amounts of money(or small) at what pretty much amounts to the best prices the online world has ever seen play at MB

Bit of an odd thread. I mainly only ever see Matchbook having its ass kissed. Maybe I've been missing something. I gather players have been pushing for improvements? I am all in favor of continuous improvement.
In fact, let me add another improvement suggestion for Matchbook. Make it so I can see all baseball lines at the same time instead of having AL and NL separate.
Hopefully they follow the Pinnacle model and listen to feedback and keep trying new things.
You went too far there. Sometimes there are decent money offers available, sometimes below average. Very seldom what I would describe as huge.Comment -
I'm on matchbook's website and it doesn't show money gram as a deposit method...

use a bank wire....had a 5 digit deposit show available on the 6th day
Mudcat - you won't ever all the offers as they go 3 deep, but the market makers are offered a 1% flat commission to stay active and increase liquidity. You can get down 6 figures at MB.Comment -
agreed austin as I've read they don't cover fees associated with money gram...make sure to get your bank wires started soon guys with the NCAAF season upcoming...Comment -
Well since you brought it up ..yes they do take **,but they are trying to keep it low key...
Sometimes players should really pick up the phone or e-mail the book....instead of asking in a public forum.This is one of those times...
Doesn't it suck what happen to the off shore world

matchbook is better and safer than Pinny, number 1 book by far nowComment -
I don't want to start another MB thread since the top three threads on this page are regarding MB but did they offer In-Game wagering for all NFL games last season or just Sunday/Monday Night, Thanksgiving and Saturday games?Comment -
You lost me on this intro...
im going to have to agree with JJ

Mavs posts some good facts often, but I skipped over this thread without a moment's hesitation. We simply have a strong difference of opinion apparently, but that's the beauty of the game. Anyone who refers to teasers, 2nd half plays, getting plays in early to get the best lines, etc. as "bush league" (it's actually Busch League after the Busch circuit fyi) hasn't met many of the people I know in the game who have have been successful for years upon years.
In addition, any thread which bashes those who want to see a book with potential improve doesn't pertain to me either (I haven't discussed matchbook because I play there for limited purposes and simply play elsewhere for all my other needs). GL to all who partake in this thread, but my years in Vegas up until today have always taught me to be as adept at as many sports and ways to bet sports as possible....

Matchbook is posted about like every single day. Search is our friend :PComment -
Oh so you're saying I can just keep betting more money - up to "huge" amounts - at ever worsening odds. Yeah I get that.
Usually for me only the first offer at Matchbook is relevant. After that, someone else will have a better line. (Being in Canada and having Pinnacle helps). The dollar amounts available on that first offer are almost never what I would call "huge."
That's what I was meaning.Comment -
Let us not lose sight of my Matchbook complaint though.
They need to make it so we can see all the baseball lines at once instead of having to keep clicking back and forth between AL and NL.
That can't be too bloody hard, can it?
Am I right people????
WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!Comment -
Or open two windows.Comment -
I open 2 tabs.
1 for AL games
and the other tab for all NL gamesComment -
That's what I'm saying. You have to keep clicking back and forth.
They need to fix that or I will arrange an army to march on the capital!
ARE YOU WITH ME DH ?!?!?!
ARE YOU WITH ME FREEBIE ?!?!?!Comment -
I think I prefer it the way it is now, clicking between tabs is easier than scrolling up and downComment -
i dont understand this thread. matchbook is an exchange, not a sportsbook thats goin to offer crap like bonuses and parlays and what not. i dont see why people cant just pound this into their head. it's not impossible to get $ in there, either....this thread is useless.Comment -
bullocks.. sorry for the misspelling of the term busch league..
you did bring up some good points.. there some sharp syndicates and individuals who use parlay , 1h etc.. my point was that MB is not about all of that, but they are by far the best for price and size on straight plays... they dont want to dilute what they have with all that stuff.. as far as size.. not trying to one up anyone.. but i play pretty large sometimes and their are no constaints at MB as far as amounts are concerned.Comment -
hey mavs,
no need to apologize to bullocks. he's just shooting his mouth off and showing his ignorance. or we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's just young. the term bush league has been around long before busch ever though of sponsoring a racing circuit. it refers to low-level minor league baseball.Comment -
According to Wikipedia, "The phrase ["bush league"] sounds similar to the NASCAR Busch Series, sometimes known as the "Busch League," since it is essentially NASCAR's minor league circuit. However, popular usage far predates the creation of this organization."
Dictionary.com lists the origin as a 1905-1910 Americanism.Comment -
I strongly suspect there is a higher % of sharp players that have significant action in parlays than players who are exclusively straight bettors. It is for this reason primarily that Matchbook, even if it is the best exchange, is still nothing more than 2nd-tier in comparison to many of the A+ books available. So I guess I would have to say that Matchbook would be more of a favorite for the "bush league" bettors.Comment -
exchanges are not for the gimmick bettors, exchanges don't have parlays, exchange are not sports booksComment -
What were your previous three aliases mack? At least we agree on one thing. He wasn't and never needs to apologize to anyone as far as I'm concerned. I prefaced my quick comments that I've known quite a few professional handicappers who play teasers, parlays, 2nd halfs, early lines, etc, by saying I have plenty of respect for the man (or as much as possible on the internet). He's given plenty of good information before and will have plenty more I'm sure. As it turns out I may well have been biting into a common fallacy on the "bush league" derivation as well according to Ganch. I "apologize" for that as you learn something something every day. Now back to the matchbook discussion or discussion about not discussing...
