Opinions on Mansion?

BostonBettor · Nov 28, 2006

I recently opened an account with Matchbook, and I've been very happy. At this point I'm pretty much using it as a sportsbook rather than an exchange but given the decent lines it's a great out even if I'm not yet using it to full advantage. Is it worth also opening an account with Mansion? Are they stable?? Thanks for the help.

I love Mansion. The fees are only .5% instead of 2% at Matchbook.

I loved them. They were too good to be true when they 1st opened. I dont feel comfortable there right now. That's just me.

or 0% if buying. Just use both.

Any reason why you don't feel comfortable Sam? They are my #1 out and consistently beat Matchbook for me. Everything I've read says they're solid as a rock. The recent changes for U.S. players made me scratch my head, but I'm not too concerned. Any specifics on your discomfort? Thanks.

Just because of the way the Offshore atmosphere is today. I prefer older books and ones I've had a longer relationship. If they are still around taking USA action next baseball season I will re-up.

My experience is positive.

I can log in for the whole day with no time outs. Exchange updates automaticly.

Lines often better than Pinnacle.

Casino offers a game called War that i haven't seen anywhere else
and enjoyed in high school.

Deposits & WDs virtually instant, & CC limits higher than Piny.

do credit cards process and go through at this place? i thought CC transactions were a thing of the past with damn near every site declining them even when funds are obviously available.

Yes. Just 3wks ago I took advantage of a CC only bonus w/them. I scalped out.

That's not my experience.

Mansion even claims to do CC WDs.

The best price is usually at Mansion exchange for a NFL game.

On the Sunday before kick off, there is volume there and it is very active market.

What is odd is all the complaints against Mansion, not necessarily from the players but just observers. Every month, there is a thread bad mouthing Mansion on the gambling forums, usually with unsubstainated claims.

If you want to bet a game, this is the place I would recommend above all others. Would not recommend anyone else.

However, if you are into teasers Mansion does not have these for US citizens, and no in game betting. Mansion is great but not prefect.

do places like matchbook and mansion have 2nd half lines? i have to admit, im intrigued by these exchanges but have absolutely no clue how easy or difficult they are to learn, nor what the fundamental differences are between such places and traditional sportsbooks.

There is some degree of 2H lines @ Mansion.

Mansion is very good for something like a hockey ML with a pretty big dog, for example Fla/ Montreal.

Pinny had it -230/ +210, with Mansion it settles at around 220, giving backers of either team a good savings.

Sometimes I do see 2nd halve lines at Mansion when it's a TV game.
(tha'ts just NFL)

I saw a line for a CBB 2H recently. Florida-Kansas -4/+4? TV game?
