You can bet real small, probably under $1 if you want to, and get free transactions.

I offer $700 on something, and $3 of it gets snapped up in an instant ! Not a complaint, just an observation.

Micro bettors should love the exchanges. Ironic that $3 bettors get it !

My +112 on Philly 76'ers is 8 cents better than Pinny's +104 ! Mansion lacks volume, lately !

Does Mansion offer unlimited free Neteller deposits & WDs?

Yep, even instant NT, they pick up the 8.9 %

They pay daily, I guess limit is 50k a day, way over my needs. However I think they are in decline, but would never stiff ( IMO).

I'd actually guide a newbie to Matchbook over Mansion at this point.

I noticed quite low numbers on BKL & FBL compared to Pinny,
like in the max 10G range, & most sides much less.

During MLB season, if i recall, it was common to see 50G on
a side.

I'd have expected higher numbers for NFL & NBA.

Is the lack of volume due to the legislation? Loss of members
from the US of A?

On the other hand w/i the last week i've seen around 100G
available for some UK Futbol sides.

I'll give others a chance to answer first, have to be unavailable for awhile, no time to elaborate, will reply better later on.

My opinion is a (sensible) move from the US to European market. European players generally need smaller (group) limits on US Sports.

No kidding, check this bet out I won yesterday on Matchbook. I have to guess some guy needed to have his bet filled for a penny more, but who knows? Maybe someone was really sweating the game out for a penny!

Doug are u have a successful 2006 gambling campaign?

Not a stellar year so far J. I've avoided the outright losses with book failures costing me money. It's a way down year for me getting bonus money opening accounts, and re-ups. I just can't get re-up money from places like Mansion, Matchbook, Pinny, Skybook, etc. I'm about toast for new account one time bonuses, unless I dig way down to bad books, I know are too risky ( esp. now) !

I have a fair amount of futures, which my accounting methods consider to be a loss as soon as I bet them.

I'm up with all that taken into consideration, but it changes dramatically daily and weekly. I do a lot of parlays on somewhat related things ( don't ask) that can change things a lot in a day.

Overall I'd say it is harder to win now than a year ago, it's getting more generic... beat the 52.38% against -110, or whatever against -105.

Changing methods is always an option, take leads on openers more, for example.

Real time scalping has become harder, you need to lead at least somewhat, IMO.

I should probably work harder and extend more into props.

Guess that answers the minimum querie ? You can literally bet one cent !

Maybe somebody goofing around as a test ?

I can see the NT transaction... send $1 to my NT account after a good month ?

Supposedly Mansion not seeding the market anymore themselves, as if that makes a difference.

Used to be 100k+ on MLB ML's ( clearly from Mansion).

Mansion is pretty much a failure ( not sure why), IMO. I expect they quit within two years, but pay.

Good reminder, Doug. I need to get back in at Mansion or sign up with Matchbook.
Sad to hear Mansion might be on the downslide.

Doug, are you going to give 3VIG a shot, or taking a pass?

I likely pass on3vig, seems too risky for me, to me initial plan needs to be viable, no phone is bad sign, very high risk, IMO. Only do this if you can take being burned, because you stand a good chance of it, IMO.

Doug, which do you prefer mansion or matchbook?

I was using tradesports a couple of years ago but most of my action is with Pinny now.

slight edge to Mansion if goal is absolute best price on something mainstream, but that requires offering, timing, and monitoring.

Most would be better served with Matchbook. Matchbook is built for the long-term, Mansion is a place I consider to be in decline.

It's much like Wildbill said in his recent article. Both "M" exchanges operate "within" Pinny. Pinny is where you look, then you base your offers off of Pinny. Mansion has a clear edge by not charging 2%, but the stuff often doesn't fill, for some reason.

In 5 years Matchbook will be here, but Mansion likely wont be. It's about making money, MB operates like a business trying to charge a reasonable fee and turning a profit, Mansion needs huge volume, and they don't get it, otherwise my offers would fill fast.

Mansion is an unprofitable failure.
