I have joined Matchbook(not bad), and Mansion(excellent). How does Bet Fair compare?

I am not 100% but I dont think you can join if you live in the US - I could be wrong though...

No US players, I've heard of people getting around it somehow, not sure the method. I'd be afraid of funds being confiscated myself, but there is some way to do it.

Tradebetx is not bad. Prefer Matchbook and Mansion but tradebet always has some unusual lines. For instance they never line an NFL game at 3 always -2.5 or +3.5. Tonight they held SIU at 2.5 and let the juice float. Also good for in game.

Compared with Matchbook and Mansion, Betfair offers so many markets it would make your head spin. For example while Mansion is offering Australian open tennis match betting you can bet match, set and game on Betfair and you can play it all live, in running.

Agreed, Betfair is the nuts. That is why I think one day they will come into the US market and cause a MAJOR shakeout. Matchbook and Mansion are just hitting the tip of the iceberg. Pinny and a few others might be fine, but others using -110 pricing are going to get smoked in time and probably have to fall at least in line with -105 pricing, if not better. The US market is so used to bargain vig, the rest of the world is not, so what they have done to soccer and horse betting has been revolutionary. In the US market we already have better pricing so they will eventually drive it to near zero margin to get the desired financial result.
