$20 commision cap with unique lines.

Id rather get charged a cap figure than a % like the other exchanges.

Ive made about 3 bets in my life that size. It would be very hard to make a $2000 bet at that place with there volume. I have never even bothered to deposit over there. I just download the software every once in a while to take a peak.

It's because Matchbook at 2% and Mansion at 0%/1% are way better than Betbug's 5%. No reason to go to Betbug, unless you are a very high roller and can get other high rollers to match your offers and cap your commissions at $20. Not very realistic.

Do their operating expenses make them unprofitable ?

Mansion is at 0% on taking offers & 0.5% on ones made, if accepted.
They recently reduced the latter from 1%.

It bleeds the little guy. I think this bug is a mosquito, sucking the blood out of you. Unless you have a base of little guys, the big guys will not show. I always wanted to sign up with an exchange and pay 10X commissions because they have a clever name.

Best Wishes...OF :howdy:
