Im going to give out my biggest secret that I have been using the last year.

This does not work all the time, but you would be shocked how many times you can get someone to call your offer by doing this.

The volume and action during the overnights is extremely low at night.
In fact, its almost dead.

Most games in college hoops dont even have any offers.

What I have been doing is picking a game that I like, with no offers and making a crazy offer. If a game is -5 -110 somewhere else, I will go to MB and make a -5 +114 or so at matchbook.

By the time I wake up, my order is filled almost 80% of the time.

There are people where MATCHBOOK is there only out. If someone wants to bet a team bad enough, and they are going out of town, or going to be away from the computer all day, and you are the only offer in town. Sometimes you will get some awesome bites.

By the time you wake up, you have an automatic scalp, once the volume picks up and the numbers get normal.

One should have an array of offers listed 24/7 that are all going to be bad numbers if somebody takes them.

You have just released one of the many unique ways one can profit by using Matchbook.

I would venture to say you have made much more money than me by doing this Choptalk..........very good strategy and even better the more time you devote to it.

Of course if one's not careful, a good offer can rapidly become a disaster.

I've tried that a couple of times never got a bite. It would be great if they could work it like Mansion where you can offer many times your actual balance, if on different games.

The key is to make the offers before the competition shows up.

Make your offers in games with no offers.

There are going to be people who log in to MATCHBOOK with the intention of making a bet on game A VS B no matter what the line. Not everyone is like us with 5 outs, watching numbers. If you are the only offer, guess what? You just reeled in a fish.

I have had the most success with making bad offers in early games that are on TV.

WEST VIRGINA VS MARQUETTE is a good example.

My tip of the day about matchbook, is with live betting.

When a Dog scores first in a football game, take the favorite (the better team), about 20 secs after the TD is scored. The # will be around +180.

Once the dog kicks off, and the favorite comes up to the line of scrimage, 70% of the time, you will be able to sell off at -140, what you just bought at +180 (these numbers are aprox).

If you have the notion to take a chance ,allow the favorite who is now behind in the game and has the ball to try and mount a drive. If they are able to get 2-3 first downs, and look good on the drive , the number will go to +-100 in a few mins.

Buy low, sell high.

I need to start live betting in NBA games, I bet it is a gold mine.

Live betting is awesome.

By the 2nd quarter I almost always have a good profit locked up , no matter who wins.

MATCHBOOK is so much better than PINNY its not funny.

Of course im not a 10K per play better.

I have the colts +4 +109 right now, and this is an order I got filled less than 12 hours ago.

You find me another place on the plannet where I can get that number.

I wonder how many people out there are sharp enough to discover and use the Exchange at Matchbook but naive enough to only have one out ???

Just look around the forum.

I have seen at least 4 post from people saying now that PINNY is gone(My only out) I guess I will go try out Matchbook now.

I have seen that several times in the last 2 days.

I only wager at matchbook.

why any where else?

If I need an "out" I simply offer enough juice at matchbook, and I can lay off a bet in just a few mins.

I am a very small time player.

FYI:

You can get BALT -3.5 +100 @ Heritage now for a scalp/middle since your already sitting on +4 +104.

Also a nice line for BALT backers (can get -3 (-120) too on the buy).

Ok, I believe I am understanding how MB works. Now I have a question. Say the Eagles are + 5.5 and I believe they will go up to + 6. MB has the Eagles at 5.5. Can I make a offer at + 6 for -110?

you can NOT offer spread. All you can offer is the vig/juice.

If the spread is 5.5.........you can offer 5.5 at -103/+115/-110/+101 any number you want, but you are unable to offer 6 pts, unless matchbook has that number listed.

I just joined Matchbook today, I see you can save a bundle on the juice there. Lower than what any sportsbook is offering even Pinny.
