Matchbook "sports exchange"?

Anyone here use Matchbook? I am pretty sure I have seen someone post lines from there. Seems like a good idea, eliminate the bookie, it's like ebay for sports betting etc etc.

I am thinking about dropping some cash in there and playing with it. They make it sound like it's pretty easy to bet both sides and make guaranteed $$$. Only downside is they take 2% of your profit off the top for commision.

matchbook is a crazy site for watching money sway in and out....it gives u a real life betting view of who is on what...last nite for instance, the phx -5.5 line was being charged -350 around 5 mins prior to game before tip.


kinda weird, but i guess alot of LATE money was flying in...jus watch it , its kinda cool!!

my opinion..i only delt with sportsbooks that other guys i know real well used them and a certain watchdog company..i never ever got beat or had a problem in my life..I can say honestly i never ever heard of matchbook till the contest started..Not saying there good or bad just my opinion..

for me i'd stay away from them..but that's me bud..

I have been watching it and it doesn't seem like the market is big enough. There are only a few people offering wack-ass lines and all the good lines usually have a max wager of like $20-100. I am sure there are some good spots for future bettors but I don't really play those so I think I will stick with Pinny and put that $$$ I was going to put in matchbook in my bank acct. instead
