Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

For one I was trying to find out exactly what the hell it was, the FAQ said it's not an actual sports book, they kept mentioning offers like your betting against actual people one on one almost. Secondly, is there an option besides couriered checks for payouts?

You are betting against someone else thats what makes the lines so good. Say most sportsbooks have Hendo/Shields -400/+300 Now if you want Shields +350 would suit you ,if you want Hendo -310 would suit you.
Right now the line at matchbook is -350/+310 meaning when you bet Hendo -350 or Shields +310 someone else is getting+350 on Shields or -310 on Hendo.

Understand? If you dont like the current odds you can put your own up.Say you want Hendo -320 you put it up and Shields +320 pops up .Once someone bets Shields +320 for the amount you want your bet is complete.

As for withdraws the only thing I have ever used is regualr mail check which costs 9 bucks

The withdraw page says they use:Moneybrookers,Gold-Pay or interbook transfers to :bookmaker,5dimes,betjamica,olympic or pinnacle

Great info, thanks Luke. I'll probably pop some money into a Matchbook account asap and see how it goes.

Once you put money in only put up offers with 10 cents until you understand and see how it works.That is if you plan on put offers up.


One more thing they charge I think 4% on your deposit that goes into commission credits.Its been a while since I've made a deposit but I think it 4%.So if you deposit 100 you get 96 in your account and 4 in your commision credit account. Matchbook makes there money off commission on the bets. They take 1% of your bet.So if you make a bet on a -110 line your really laying -111 after commission.

This is where putting up offers helps.If you put an offer up and someone takes it they pay you .02% commission instead of you having to pay the 1%

So putting up offers instead of taking someone elses saves you money

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I 'spose they have to make their money somehow, and I really don't mind paying 1% when it's all said and done, or 4% on deposits. Again, thanks for the info, Luke. I appreciate it.

No problem man,just trying to help get us all the best lines possible.


The 4% you pay on deposits goes toward the 1% they take so you're only paying the 1% not both.

example :

desposit 100

4 goes into commision credits

96 into your account

you make 400 dollars in bets and instead of owing 4 dollars in commission the commission credits in your account cover it.Then once you are out of commission credits they take the 1% off your bets

I took Tim Stout at +700. .07u to win .5u. Hes gonna lose, but this fight was on short notice and maybe mayhem will take him lightly. you never know.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I want to take Mousasi @-225. He SHOULD win. But this is such a toss up. With my 3.37 unit loss at 112, I am being a pussy.. I don't want to lose anymore, but I know Strikeforce could make me so money this weekend.

Anyone who says "motherfuckers" is okay in my book.

You're easily amused arent you?

Keep posting around here and prove you can keep saying meaningful shit and I'm sure we'll start paying attention to you pretty soon

Keep posting and we'll pay attention to you.LOL you're kidding right?

His write up was good I am already paying attention to his posts.Anyone that gives reasons for his bets it ok in my book

What about those of us to never give reasons (besides "gut feeling") but do drop serious Washingtons on fights? Occasionally, I"ll put a Lincoln or a Hamilton on a fight - if I feel daring enough. .

Oh yeah... that's how I roll.

Took Melendez 3.1u to win 2u. He should keep this upright for the most part and be able to dominate Aoki in the standup, and if it does get to the ground he should be good enough to avoid subs.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

Aoki is upto +140 now.(I'm not taking him)

[Thewiseman]

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

Took King Mo .5U to win 1u.
I think his wrestling alone makes him a live dog.
