I use Mansion all the time. Betfair & Matchbook too.

The regular books get less and less of my action.

note to newbies: USA players can't use Betfair.

dat why new books no make it. It's goin to be tough enough for books like CRIS/GREEK to stay around with -110 model, let alone anybody new. I've done that talk enough already, but maintain opinion.

Here is my experience with exchanges and MLB

Mansion:

I love Mansion with their 0% buyers and 1% sellers fee (on net winnings). They receive 90% of my action now. The other 10% Pinnacle get.

Matchbook:

Matchbook is good too, but overnight they don`t have the volume like mansion + they have 2% commission on net winnings.

Betfair:

Great exchange, probably the one I use the most, but they are not good at all for MLB. They have too high standard commission on Us-Sports (5%) (which can be reduced by upto 60% if you have been a high roller for several months) and this leads to low activity on these markets. 50000$ matched is considered high on a MLB game and 15-20k$ is the standard. 95% of the time you get better lines at pinnacle,mansion,matchbook on mlb.

same here pags11 .... matchbook and mansion get 80% of my action nowadays...

Mansion just beats Matchbook for me lineswise more often than not. Take a typical day where I may have 5 plays on bases, Mansion line will usually be better on 3-4 of the 5, once commission is considered, but Matchbook is one of the best outs available.

[NewGuy2]

I use them both regularly and often get a line 10 points better than Pinnacle even!
Not difficult to learn and Mansion's commission rate (0.5% on winning markets you made;0% on other markets) is very acceptable.

Exchanges are the future of this industry.

Exchanges are great.

[syddiggers]

Betfair is the greatest invention since sliced bread. Unfortunately they are far more condusive to European sports due to their location and clientele that they cater to. For tennis, soccer, golf etc you can get down for plenty and more importantly, there is usually plenty of volume around so that you can get off your bet whenever you want to.

As stated, exchanges are the wave of the future, and once they can be adapted to the US markets more favourably the more in doubt old school books will be.

You can mess with people when you're bored. I'm offering a price, this moron comes over the top of me and keeps doing it (I keep jumping back to keep the margin decent). In the end I force him to sell at no margin (although he may have just liked that bet) but he still ended up costing himself 6 cents on that one.
