Matchbook Funding?

**bigboydan** · 01-28-08, 05:29 PM

Matchbook picks up your fees in a form of commission credits.

You need to call MB up and get their Moneygram info, and then call them up and give them you the info the people at ** gave you. (usually takes about an hour before you account is credited)

Thanks for the info. So basically if the Moneygram fees are 40 dollars, I will receive 40 dollars in credits at matchbook?

To my knowledge that is correct sir.

I know you're not customer service, but I figured I could get quicker answers on the forum than by emailing them, didn't see a live chat on the site. Final question: Do they only pick up moneygrams certain hours of the day?

Now that I do not know off hand sir. That would be a question you would have to ask them directly.

Matchbook has a online chat customer service button

Thanks.

Rake, saw a recent post of yours about matchbook, how is matchbook working out for you? I saw someone mention also that they don't understand who wouldn't make 90% of their bets on matchbook. From looking at it, it seems like you can't always get the line you really want, though. I'll have to spend some more time looking at it, but from a first glance I don't quite understand the 90% comment. You might get favorable odds, but not the spread you want. What has your guys' experience been?

Really excited to deposit some money in here and see how it works out for me.

It pays off in the long run. They take a commission on each game you win, which some may not realize...

But still it typically works out to be better than compared to -110 at the sportsbooks

**bigugly** · 01-28-08, 06:22 PM

I thought the commission was probably built-in to the lines! Thanks for the heads up!

**rake922** · 01-28-08, 06:27 PM

It's 2% .... If you win 100 bucks, they'll take 2 bucks

But i mean If you're getting +101 on a line, thats way better even with the commision than -110 at lets say TheGreek

**bigugly** · 01-28-08, 06:36 PM

Well I decided to chat...and the guy just left me in the middle of our conversation...hmm...

**rake922** · 01-28-08, 06:37 PM

I think it disconnects sometimes..

I deposited via Moneygram. In case anyone is wondering: there is a 10 dollar fee you pay to Moneygram, and the fee that MB pays to Moneygram is 3.2%, which they give you back in the form of commission credits credits. (Not even the customer service could clearly explain this.)

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll see you on the exchange.
