There's about a dime available for OSU -102 and about a dime available for NU at -112, which basically means if I like OSU and want to play more than a dime, I have to post offers and keep checking back to see if they get matched. If I like NU for any amount, I'd do better laying -110 elsewhere or also have to keep posting offers until they get matched. The K-State/KU game is similar. If I like a bunch of games and want to play them before I head out for the day, Matchbook doesn't really present many more options than other books. So I don't get when Fishhead or others say it's a MUST HAVE out...for the most part, it can be helpful if you have the time to continuously monitor your offers and adjust accordingly at your other outs. But it's far from being comparable to a -105 or -107 shop like it used to be. Maybe I'm missing something though and I'm open to hearing others' opinions. I don't consider myself an expert at this stuff and would like to learn.
