does matchbook really charge you to make a deposit?

Not technically BLUE

The fees are reimbursed to the player with commission credits.

A SMALL pain in the ass, but no biggie once one understands the simple concept.......trust me.

With free withdrawls and consistantly GREAT value, think most punters can take this very, very small inconvenience in stride.

Yes, the commission is 2% on WINNNG wagers.

So if one has $2O in credits, one has $1000 in commission free winning wagers.

Matchbook has 2 cent spreads on most MLB games though - you really cant beat that....

I think they change that format a bit, too confusing to many, can't be good for business.

I wish they would not deduct the initial money from your deposit. If you are going to give free payouts just give free payouts. Other than that, they are a great out.

I actually emailed them last week regarding this and got a lengthy email back...it appears as though they are entertaining changing this, but also may limit the number of free withdrawals we get each month...I'm all for it, as I think many people are scared off by the commission credits...

I'm all against it. Currently deposits ARE free and withdrawals are free. How can you be all for a change that will make you pay for getting your money out?
Anybody who thinks he's paying for a deposit is simply not used to paying comission.

Echo Z's thoughts above. Pulling for a change is madness and doing yourself a dis-service.

I just decided to re-up there, I never really played there before, except for the free $50 account. I sent $100 to test them, they charged 2.9 % for the deposit. I was going to bet NYY over 10 -112, even though Pinny's -113 was really better, by the time I deposited it was close to -130, so I didn't bet it there.

The system of commission credits will work OK since I'll get the deposit "fee" refunded eventually in the form of a commission I don't have to pay, works for me !

I'm sure I'll find some lines there.

Doug, if you don't like MB, I will be totally in shock.

Not saying you will like them better than Mansion, even though I personally do, but cannot imagine you not having them for an out and enjoying them.

I expect them to be an important out for me, I've been delaying going there for some unknown reason. Hell MB is even Chuck approved !

Of course, think WSEX.
