Any advice on Matchbook.com?

[trmg777]

Thinking of depositing with them because of their attractive lines, however, I'm sure there's a price to pay somehow. Just looking for anyone who has had an account with them and their experiences or any word on the street on payouts? I see their SBR rating keeps going downhill, so that's the only reason I'm hesitant.

Thx in advance.

They are the best place for US sports if you are serious about getting best odds.

But if you are a US resident I understand that there are issues with depositing options. Otherwise no issues at all if you can use Moneybookers or Neteller.

Payouts have always been prompt but limited to $2500 at a time.

One thing to watch is that they will deduct 3.5% of your deposit and place it in a deferred commission account up front and then whatever commissions you incur will be deducted from there before they come off your available balance.

So if you lose your money before you've incurred that level of commission you have most likely lost that too.

I appreciate this. I also have a Greek account and I like that they do interbook transfers so I was thinking of just transferring from GK to MB.

Would it be safe to deposit something small for the 3.5% deduction, that way they don't withhold too much, or is that on EVERY deposit, not just initial?

EVERY deposit

And how long does that take to usually get back. If I deposit a nickel to try out, and I play daily, should I have any concerns?

if u do a book to book trasnfer, they WILL NOT take a percentage out.

[trmg777]

Perfect. So you've never had any issues with them or complaints?

I've been with Matchbook for four years. They have paid me promptly every time, no issuses.

No fees for incoming deposit b2b transfers. 4x rollover. No fees for outgoing b2b transfers. Matchbook is awesome.

The SBR rating drop happened only after Matchbook stopped advertising here.

Chuck, I appreciate my man. I am definitely going to use them.

taken two fedex payouts, both times very fast

Yea, you won't have to bother with the comission credits if you do b2b transfers.
Matchbook is much better than their rating here from my experience, i have always been paid very quick and the b2bs are fast too.
Just make sure you are aware of the rollover requirements, theGreek and some others upped them a bit to 4x i think.

While i took some shots at the liquidity and stuff, it cannot be said often enough that MB is just a great place and very safe.

I think the 3,5% is when using Moneybookers, it´s 2,9% to comission credits with Neteller.

Matchbook is a must have. It's like betting juice free.

Agree. If you make offers instead of taking offers, it is like receiving juice.

[trmg777]

So is it better to MAKE offers instead of accepting the posted lines?

certainly - the general rate is 1% if you accept but you earn 0.2% if you offer but that varies between sports

[trmg777]

But if the offer doesn't get fullfilled, then its a no bet which sucks, right?

that's always the thing with exchange betting
if you want to extract a better price than the prevailing market you are best to be able to constantly monitor it until it is matched or the game is soon to start and reduce your price accordingly
the beauty of it is that if the prevailing market isn't up to what price you need to justify a bet you can put in an offer which may well be matched later ... you can't do that at a bookie

Matchbook is the best since Pinnacle already exited the US market.
