So i am about to open an acct with mansion

You are obviously familiar with exchange betting so there is no need to get into that. Be prepared for some great lines on MLB.

They will need a copy of your driver's licence if/when you want to do a withdrawal so you might want to take care of that right away.

I don't know what to tell you. Make sure you are using the exchange, not the sportsbook. The sportsbook is pretty much pointless (except for the Team of the Week soccer promo they were running on Asian Handicap bets in the sportsbook).

No commission if you are buying on the exchange. Just a fantastic out.

Mansion has some higher limts if that's your bag, like up to 50K available sometimes at exchange to divide with players jumping on the line. Very fast payouts.

Be aware that it can take four (working) days for them to satisy themselves you arent a fraud. I gather the wait is usually three days (God knows what they do that takes so long...)

As mudcat says mansion can be good ... 0% commision and keenly priced if static exchange offers (either nothing or $2,500 exactly!!).

However, I think youll find the offers (allegedly direct from the tycoon owner in Indonesia) mostly just mirror pinnacle ... as if the guy is blindly following pinnacle prices with his own 'exchange'.

Hopefully it will get busier and more 'independent'.

My experience totally contradicts this. I had no wait at all. I signed up, deposited with Neteller and started playing instantly.

When I wanted a payout for the first time, I didn't know they would want photo ID. But I sent it in, called them and said, "Hey did you get it?" - they said, "Yep," - and I was ready to withdraw.

I also don't find the lines mirror Pinnacle. Just the opposite; I find the lines pleasantly staggered. If I'm focusing on scalping, the first thing I do is compare Pinnacle lines to Mansion and I'll find straddles of 2 cents or less all the time.

**natrass** · 05-19-06, 12:41 PM

Our experiences differ then.

As a point of information, i have been waiting four days to hear if they have concluded i am not a fraud. From other forums it seems I am yet to reach the average wait.

But, glad you got it done in seconds.

Surely this is an exaggeration... "I also don't find the lines mirror Pinnacle. Just the opposite" ... you may think they differ slighlty sometimes or not, but the opposite??

If the best scalping you are getting is Pinnacle and Mansion then, well, you must be a very patient man IMHO.

But, whatever, the differing experiences/views, Mansion are good though noit a poor mans betfair (for Europeans anyway).

**joe blow** · 05-19-06, 02:51 PM

I mailed them my info yesderday,but today i received a e-mail from them today telling me my id i faxed to them was ok,so i am good to go!!!

Wish me luck

**natrass** · 05-20-06, 04:42 PM

Glasd for you joe. For me I emailed them and they cannot locate my identity documents and that I should allow TEN days for a letter to go from the UK to Gibraltar.

Ten days??? A letter to Australia arrives in five FFS. They also ahd the nerve to ask if I had put the correct postage on it.

Incomopetent is a word that comes to mind.
