Is there any point of playing anywhere else but Matchbook?

    Or perhaps they bet in Vegas casinos and can't access Matchbook via their mobile phone. Matchbook gives me the most problems by far on mobile phones.

      Several reasons:

      2nd half lines
      Not able to get the line you want (MB at +6, you want +7 and there is no liquidity)
      Security of not having all funds in one place.

        Does anyone recall if matchbook always had the best line in NFL spreads and totals compared to the other books? I recalled last year and the year before that the lines were single cent. Like +105/-106 etc. I think the totals were similar but did anyone recall any game where it did not have liquidity?

        Also, i recalled last year in many NBA games, there were less liquidity in nba totals and sides as well.

        I know matchbook is the best for MLB in terms of the odds but i see many games where there is real little liquidity on totals. Any thoughts on that?

            You live in a casino?

            God bless you



            Vegas is the one place where MB is even MORE VALUABLE to have.

                As usual, you miss the point.

                  If I'm hauling around an IPad I might as well just carry a Netbook.

                    Which is fine, to each their own.
                    The gap between how much you actually know and how much you think you know is astounding.

                      Bodog is only good for underdogs until you start betting them.

                        MB is great for sides close to gametime. It isn't much good for anything else ever.

                          Matchbook has the best juice by far. NFL, NBA, MLB. NFL moneylines will save you a ton more than any juice charging sportsbook. Liquidty is strong. Totals not as much.

                          Other outs a must also for teasers, parlays, and opening lines.

                            excuse my ignorance, can you briefly explain the liquidity as referred to mb and just in general, i'm looking to open a few books for fb season, have on bodog before but just don't trust them much anymore

                            i usually deposit with a VC gift card, will i be able to do that with other sites, 5dimes, mb and receive a check back, or what are better options, bank wire? appreciate the help i am a us player

                                Liquidity is determined by the bettors. Make an offer on a game you want to bet or accept an offer you see being offered. On game day, the liquidity is huge. During the week it varies.

                                Contact Matchbook via live chat and they will explain all their deposit options.

                                  No one ever answers the live chat. Do they take **?

                                    I just spoke with them yesterday via live chat. I've read they do not take **. Bank wire is one option.

                                      so is the liquidity referring to regular ats/ml/total bets, or is this a separate type of bet that individuals can do amongst themselves, like offer their own lines? thanks
