Way higher limits at Pinny and long term Pinny beats their numbers
Why go through hassle at Matchbook?

I haven't tried Matchbook yet but I can offer an answer. Looking at the SBR Odds up above, it took me about 3 seconds to find 4 instances where Matchbook has a better line than Pinny - even counting the Matchbook commision.
Sharp players these days shop for the best line.
Big high limits are only important to a small percentage of players.
And Matchbook probably isn't much of a hassle. You have probably blown that way out-of proportion in your mind. I bet it's incredibly easy.
So there are some thoughts on the topic.Comment -
Mudder the big difference is money available
Pinny you can get more down on the numberComment -
JJ - Matchbook is no hassle. Admittedly I've not used it but I use Betfair/mansion a lot - exchanges are simple. As Mudcat said, the prices beat Pinny hands down more often than not - sharp players want this. In fact any player should want this - why back at -140 at Pinny when you can back at -138 at Matchbook. It's not a lot of difference, but it sure does add up over a season.
As to the limits, you're right - Pinny wins every time. But Matchbook is going to be a better option for the vast majority of players who are never going to reach any limits.Originally posted by pags11Originally posted by BuddyBearOriginally posted by curiousComment -
I use matchbook quite regularily.
They also have live wagering if you are
into it. Granted I probably wager less
than you guys.
But I usually find a line daily at Matchbook that
I prefer to Pinnacle or Mansion.Comment -
I will see how book develops and maybe post up thereComment -
Without the hassles I am guessing.Comment -

Sure, if you are betting in tens of thousands Pinnacle is more likely to be the better option but even then you can still get several thousand down at better odds at the exchange.
But for most of us Matchbook DOES offer better odds (net of commission) for several thousand on almost every market and I prove it by betting there almost every day.Comment -

Pinnacle is light years ahead of Matchbook
Pinny an A+
Matchbook C+Comment -
why do you keep going on with negative posts about Matchbook?
everyone knows that OVERALL Pinnacle has far more to offer than Matchbook, as does Betfair but for US pro. sports pre-game Matchbook beats Pinnacle in almost every market for up to $5k at least.
If you bet on a variety of sports and could have only one account then yes Pinnacle it would have to be over Matchbook, though personally I'd chose Betfair because of my range of betting.Comment -
Matchbook consistently has better tennis odds than pinnacle and the money available is consistently more than pinnacle limits, at least until final stages of tournaments.Comment -
I also have found this to be the case. I recently opened up an account at Matchbook and have to say the prices were way better. I really like the new site too I think it is very clean and fresh. Looks like I have joined at the right time so I have already sent in my request for a GBP account.
Bartolli in the WTA Tennis event tonight is -232 at MB and -236 at pinny and if I had enough funds I could have $3500 on Bartolli to win . Betfair are offering -227 but only have a measly $159 up on same selection.Comment -
Betfair is a live betting site not a pre game betting site
You will not find lots of volume pre game
During game one tennis event gets more action than matchbook does in 1 monthComment -
Compare matchbook and betfair advertising dpts
game overComment -
Pinny doesn't even have a phoneComment -
Hareeba you must not be betting big then
Even tennis which is a high volume betfair sport does not have much pre game volume
Pinnacle guaranteed 5k volume no matter what time at a low juice lineComment -
5 star thread.
Hi Mudcat.Comment -
Pinny takes 90% of my action... I love it there.Comment -
The big difference is that you will never be able to get money down on early lines at MB...
ppl like Hareeba keep bombarding us with their "better odds pre-game" shit, and never mention that this is on settled in markets ONLY LOSERS bet into. But ofc he doesn't care, since his air-bet units are payed by matchbook.Comment -
Who bumped this crap?Comment -
more clueless negativity
all I've been doing is comparing MB with other books at the same time
early markets aren't always the best
you think I'm so stupid as to be betting when the prime odds are well and truly gone?
if you were right my MB withdrawals + current balance wouldn't exceed my deposits would they?
WRONG WRONG WRONG yet again Mr NegativeComment -
Hareeba will you admit matchbook is not an exchange??
The book puts money on both sides and the players bet the line posted
Has owner admitted almost all money is seeded???
Also so many games have the same money matched all the time meaning no one betting it
In a real exchange different amounts available at all different timesComment
