    market maker feature in matchbook
    could someone that knows, please tell me; when on the market maker feature in matchbook, there's a box that one must fill in order to create odds that says "base Value", what exactly should you type there...like a reference odd ???

    It´s the base value for the first team, if you want to get +105 on both sides you put in +100. That´s how it is explained, i guess if you want +108 for the first team and +102 for the second, you put in +103?

        My understanding is that it reflects how you would cap the game, where the line would be for you without any vig.

          i see...interesting, so if a game is being traded at +160 but i think it should be +180 then just type that in there along with the juice and the market maker will create the odds automatically based on my estimation.....

                The market makers always copy Pinny´s odds, so all you can do is offer lower vig... Iam not sure if i would recommend that thou, would think most of the times you get banged on line moves.

                  well my interest on all of this is for the soccer section of matchbook....i don't deal with any other sport...so i haven't come out with offers yet until i feel i understand completely the meaning of this "base value" option....

                    maybe you should just play around with small amounts?

                      no doubt about it....i don't really know how much volume matchbook moves on soccer anyway, i have notice that most of market makers there use a system called "seeding" which is commonly use by people when opening a fresh line....so there are some factors that i still need to figure out....
