Way higher limits at Pinny and long term Pinny beats their numbers

Why go through hassle at Matchbook?

[Mudcat]

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.

Mudder the big difference is money available

Pinny you can get more down on the number

[tacomax]

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.

[JimL04]

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.

I will see how book develops and maybe post up there

Without the hassles I am guessing.

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.

JJ just bashes all books that do not pay sbr money to advertise here.

Pinnacle is light years ahead of Matchbook

Pinny an A+
Matchbook C+

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.

[Marrowhine]

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.

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.

Actually after factoring in commission (win or lose) I think you'll find that there's bugger all in that particular price differential.

Lol, Cheers fella was trying to sound smart up against you lads with thousands of posts guess that means that Matchbook is just as competitive then if not better in certain spots.

[jjgold]

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 month

[brettels]

I'd chose Betfair

The sock puppet shilling, continues!

Lets see how angry he gets, because he is guilty.

[jjgold]

Compare matchbook and betfair advertising dpts

game over

[brettels]

Pinny doesn't even have a phone

Now that is both insulting and a damned lie.

I am perfectly entitled to take exception to such.

About half my betting turnover is on racing. Let me know when Pinnacle offers betting on all Australian races will ya?

[Hareeba!]

So?

I've been using them for a decade and never found the necessity to 'phone them.
They are excellent email responders.

Well obviously I'm doing something very wrong.

A large percentage of my betting turnover is at Betfair but I rarely ever bet on live events.

[jjgold]

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 line

What's "big" in your language?

Where have I ever claimed to be a big punter?

That is absolute and utter crap about Pinnacle if you're talking about tennis. Early odds are only available for $250.

Hi Mudcat.

[dj_destroyer]

Pinny takes 90% of my action... I love it there.

what do you bet on?

[Monte]

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.

[TheMoneyShot]

Who bumped this crap?

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 Negative

[jjgold]

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 times
