I tried Matchbook about a month ago and I think it is (mostly) awesome.
Here is one thing I would like to point out though.....in the hopes of making the service even MORE awesome.
When a game is slated to have live action and the line changes, it would be nice to see ALL of the lines on that game remain active after the game begins. What happens now is that if you end up in a position on a game that you intended to get out of after it started (hoping that your team looked good early), and the "main" line changes before game time, you end up locked into a position that you thought you could have sold off after the game began. This has happened more than once.....in face it happens more often than not, or so it seems.
For example............
I ended up having action tonight on Troy (vs Rice). Troy took an early 14-0 lead and I logged in to sell my position for a profit. Problem was that I have Troy +5 and the live line is Troy +5.5....and I am therefore locked into the play, since there is no trading on the line at 5. It wasn't my intention to hold a position through the end of the game when I took the position initially.
But even with that quirk, I am still hugely impressed with Matchbook. Hopefully they will keep working to improve even more !!
