matchbook commision? (line shopping)

[BeardedTaco]

Hi,

Just to simplify things for me, when I see for ex:

team X -3.5 -104 on pinnacle

team X -3.5 -101 on matchbook


which one should I take? Do they still take their 2% commision fee on winnings bets and if so how much does that take off the line?

MB no brainer
they charge 1% win or lose if you accept a bet but only 0.5% if you post a bid which is accepted
(note: 1% of amount won if you win)

[QQPALLADIUM]

some say their limit at pinny is 50k...at mb try getting down at those odds for 500 groceries...

so anytime the line is 2 cents in favor of MB I should be placing my wager there?

Gross ignorance at its best!

Even on tennis last night I was able to get on for bets far greater than that.

Currently I have pending NFL bets very much larger than $500

Don't take any notice of this QQ jerk. He has an unjustified hatred of Matchbook and keeps posting nonsense about them.

Yes, that would ensure you're getting a better net price.
Or make an offer only 1c better and you're ahead if it gets matched.

[byronbb]

just take off a cent in your head and its close enough

4 minutes...you are slipping...too bad you can't do this...then maybe we would believe your faux betting...

just soooo ignorant!

you post odds so far ahead of the matches - just meaningless - at least 6 hours before I would even start to look at them and think you are proving some sort of point?

obviously you just have no clue about exchange betting

several of those who do have already confirmed what I've been telling you for months .. you CAN most always obtain better odds at MB than anywhere else at least on major US sports and now I'm also finding that their tennis is getting very competitive - hopefully other sports will soon do the same - I expect that will start happening as soon as they introduce currencies which people are more comfortable to use than USD.

funny how mb won't do that...don't accept us customers but offer no alts to the dollar...way to think it thru mb....

again the challenge is there for you but u ignore it...cut and paste just one of your huge plays...and i will shut up for good.

where have I ever claimed to make "huge" plays?

and that by itself would prove sfa anyway ... the whole point is the relative value you can get at MB .. but you are either just way too ignorant or way too stubborn to believe what I and others who play there keep telling you

[QQPALLADIUM]

And i win again and again...

You bragged about your 50k pinny limit...you bragged about getting down big on tennis at mb..

And you won't post any plays before the games start...

Even if mb had the best odds and amount available you don't bet...

And please stop pm'ing me..i am straight.

I did not "brag" about 50k Pinnacle limits - that was merely a response in a thread querying different limits and people stating theirs. You obviously are incapable of following a conversation.

I didn't brag about getting down "big" on tennis at MB. I merely said your post was just so inaccurate when you said you can't bet $500 there.

Why should I post my plays before games start? This isn't about my betting. It is about MB having the best odds.

WTF does this mean? : "Even if mb had the best odds and amount available you don't bet..."

And finally showing what a nutter you are, I've never sent you a PM.

[QQPALLADIUM]

you bet tennis...but not ncaaf...what a petzaleh

Hareeba and I don't see eye to eye much BUT qqpaladium you are a major tossa! You really are a one of a kind idiot, why would you go out of your way to make that profile? What are you 10?

[lukahh]

i dont understand this duel.
when MB has better prices, why not use it to your advantage? It is true they only have better prices relatively close to kick off time, so if you bet days in advance, you'll be better off with pinny.

Okay! Let's settle this once and for all between you two.
