    Mansion
    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Mansion. I realise they are a B+ book. The exhange seems very interesting but I am wondering how they make there dough to keep the site running, Charging 1% for sellers if they win and not charging buyers. It just seems to good to be true because I see incredible lines there sometimes. Any info would be appreciated.

        You're right, the lines are incredible. I'm finding them better than Pinnacle for MLB moneylines these days.

        I have wondered the same thing about how they make money. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

        This is a book where I am putting a lot of blind faith in that SBR rating. But I'll tell you this: it has been extremely profitable to play there for the last year.

          My theory is that Mansion knows the future of online sports betting lies in the "exchanges". Mansion might be giving up a little value now, in hopes of building a big user base and being the #1 exchange in the times to come. I know there is debate whether or not the future of sports betting lies in being an exchange, but some very smart people are quite confident. Plus, Mansion is a dual book, having both an exchange, and a regular sportsbook. Discuss.

          Being a sports bettor, why ask why? Just soak up the nice lines and laugh all the way to the bank. Right?

            I think they plan to ditch the sportsbook part and concentrate solely on the exchange. (The sportsbook is dead in the water - for soccer anyway - crappy lines with very few markets ... makes Hollywood seem like a players paradise for variety!!).

            I kind of hope the exchange takes off because betfair need the competition.

            I think the exchange is good but if you put an offer up be prepared to wait ... and wait .... and wait. Bit like fishing - in real time.

                      The only out I find that usually beats them is 5D if bet overnite.
