Mansion Bases... Hard to Ignore

SportSavant · Apr 5, 2005

-96$ Cash Bonus for anyone who opens an account

-Overnite 'True Dime Line'
-Dime Line Totals (correct me if im wrong, only pinny & Mansion right?)
-Dime Line Run Lines ( " )

Then there is the exchange which often has 'wacky numbers available', today I managed to get all my MLB wagers matched on the exchange by posting Vig 4 cents cheaper than what was available at Pinny ..... It still meant a cheaper price on a favorite for someone else so the plays were easily matched.

***Of course this is a new book, & although they have paid everyone so far in a Flash, they do have a Risky Business Model, It would appear that they are trying to compete head on with Pinnacle for Bases Action, this could spell their demise? My opinion, in case they are reading, is that they need to speed up the software, Pinny's software is quicker & gives the bettor a big advantage)****

Personally, the benefits at this time outweigh the risk, with about a 10K bankroll I am comfortable with around 1k to 1500, there..... I cant pass it up!!!!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Mansion requries faxed in ID before they send payouts to customers.

Does Mansion require any special browser or cookies? I have never had any luck navigating their site. I have managed to register via my laptop but couldn't see the lines I have heard so much about. Any help will be appreciated.

Not sure Randy, but will bump this so others may see and know the answer.

I am posting up at mansion in about 15 mins...will let you guys know how it goes....

SportSavant · Apr 5, 2005

Mansion's website is a little odd...

for some reason it does not work with my 'ROBOFORM' password manager...

other than that, as I mentioned above, the site is a little slow to navigate.......

But I really like it alot....

If 'Security' was not an issue, they would be in my TOP 3 for sure.

Too big of if for me. I tried to open there, but no 1-800 number, off to a bad start. E-mailed back and forth, then they were dropped here, and I heard the exchange is a no go in U.S. Just does not fit my book profile. Also looks like an easy store to scalp. Too easy. Just do not feel warm and fuzzy about them yet. But thanks for the feedback, SS.

and I heard the exchange is a no go in U.S.

not sure about that, although I am from Canada, but I think USA customers can use the Exchange no problem....

No 1 800 # is similar to Pinny...... they are trying to reduce costs in other ways, if you email them with a TIME & phone number, they will call you..... & guess what, their reps speak PERFECT english & sound quite intelligent if I may say so......

Of course the 'IF' is a Big question, you are correct FROG, this is why, I quoted above, it is a RISK vs REWARD thing for me, ill keep about a dime to 1500$ there, & hope for the best....... To me, the Benefit of their Juicy Lines, is worth the 'RISK' of positng up some of my bankroll with them.

Failed to mention that you must risk your own money to get this bonus. Lots of books offer sign up bonuses beyond 100 bucks.

SportSavant · Apr 5, 2005

well.... who gives you a 96$ cash bonus without at least sending them some money?

( remember, you only have to send & bet 96$ to get 96$, who else is offering a 100% bonus?)

all they are asking is that you fund your account, make a Bet, & then they are giving you 96$ free.....

I woudnt view that as a Negative. It is a great promo, especially if you factor in their reduced VIG.... Cheapest in the industry (besides Pinny)

Pinnacle has a 800 toll free number.

Not many, which is why this offer is nothing special.

SportSavant · Apr 5, 2005

WOW!!!!

you think a 96$ Bonus with NO ROLLOVER!!!!!!! is not a Good deal?.... A 100% Bonus? Really???

further to that the reduced vig as I mentioned above with -105 & all those dimelines?

Not a Good deal? Nothing Special?

let me tell you my friend.... if this is what you think.... you have just dropped 30 points in my Intellegince of RX posters ratings.....

i emailed them my number and they called me right back.

their accents were awesome. it was like the movie Snatch.

I am aware of that.... however they do not advertise that number....

they try to do all business through email....

exactly what I mean, it is such a pleasant change to talk to people who clearly understand you, sound professional, & understand what you are talking about....

No disrespect to Bookies that operate from the 'Islands' but I often find their reps have a "I dont give a f*ck about you attitude", do not know the business rules of their own Company....

I need to carry between 5 and 10 dimes in a store to make it worth it to me. I signed up with Canbet and Platinum instead. The 100% match for $96 is nice, but that is it? Tradewinds gave 2 dimes for 10. That is my kind of shop. They would not give me a straight answer on the exchange either. Odds are if they stick, I will get in and get booted, but I will wait and see for now.

I can see Frog's take on this. I was going to wait on Mansion myself, I play less than Frog.

This is basically $96 laying on the floor to be picked up, I'll bend over to pick it up ! Maybe later hassles faxing ID and such, but I can get over it. I could just play it against Pinny until I win. I won't , but I won't overlay my bank at Mansion either.

This deal is doable to me ! I get free money, without much commitment...

Why not test drive Mansion at this price ?

If I find $96 everyday in this fashion, it's 35K yearly. I've worked for 35k a year.

SportSavant · Apr 10, 2005

Forgot to Mention, MANSION allows all PARLAYS, even on their reduced VIG totals etc etc.....

TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR RUN LINES FOLKS!!!

Also the Only Book on the board that currently has PEDRO -105.

(this is how I feel when I think about MANSION, Happy but at the same time confused.... Happy at the Tremendous Value Available, Confusd as to how they can keep this business Model Running).

Ok, I have my first complaint about Mansion bases.

Around 8pm, Pinny has 3k overnight limits. Cris has 2.5k. Oly will take anything I throw. Mansion, if they have them up, has them at $426.82 limits (or some other obscure low limit).

Onthe plus side, Mansion increased the amount you can deposit in one swing with Neteller.
