    Haven't had a funded account this year and am having a great year. They are pretty much worthless to me.

    How do we fund them now w/o *******? I'm not getting my bank involved with a wire or *************** and then find out a week later that the transaction has been canceled due to gambling activity.

    Fund them via book transfer. If you can fund Greek, Bookmaker, BetJam, or 5Dimes, you can fund Matchbook. Transfers are usually completed within a few hours with no maximum limit (as far as I know).

    Shocked you can't find any +EV opportunities at MB.

    They require a rollover to be met first, don't they?

    Usually 1x rollover.. But ask to see how your book functions.

    So far, I've tried 5 Dimes, MB, and BJM. Couldn't get a deposit through at any. Right now I can only use *************. 5D said I could use this with prior authorization, but my acct would be limited.

    I don't know why these books aren't working harder on a way to make it easier for people to give them money.

    That seems odd to me. Why would they censor the name of a payment processor?

    Matchbook continues to blow away the juice charging sportsbooks.

    I have the Saints -1 -101 for a $1,000. Trying to match some more at that price. If anyone wants the Steelers + 1 +101, go get some.

    Are you saying Matchbook had the best price on the Saints -1 -101?

    What exactly does this mean - scalping against another book?

    Thanks.

    Say he gets a 20% bonus with a 3x rollover from another book. He cleared the rollover (bet 3x his deposit) by only betting -110 at the bonus-giving book when he could get +110 from MB.

    So he made 20% on his deposit, with no risk, by using MB to "scalp against" the bonus-giving book.
