"Seven Days Without Gambling Makes One Weak"
Popularity & favoritism continues to grow with MATCHBOOK as one of the leading Offshore Books to players. Since MATCHBOOK differs from common sportsbooks, here's some tips to get you started so you're prepared to roll come football season!
Placing a Bet
Placing a bet at Matchbook is no different than at a regular sportsbook-just click on the blue box showing the best odds available, enter your stake, and press submit. The dollar value in the blue box shows the current amount available at
that price.
SmartBalance
SmartBalance keeps track of your total position and reserves funds based on your largest potential loss. If you've bet $1,000 on each side of a game at even money, SmartBalance will realize that you have no potential loss, and it won't tie up any of your funds. Thanks to SmartBalance, you can trade both sides of a game continually without eating into your account balance. You can also "cash out" of your position on Team A at any time by buying Team B, thus increasing your available funds.
Live Betting
A
icon indicates that a game's main markets will be kept open for live betting (the icon will light up once the game starts). The specific markets that will trade live are listed daily on the home page. Shortly before gametime, we'll also list the exact pointspreads the markets will trade at. During live betting, Matchbook imposes a 1.5-second countdown to ensure that everyone is betting based on the same information.
Remember, you can trade back and forth as much as you like during the game: our unique SmartBalance function makes sure that we never hold more of your funds in reserve than your maximum possible loss in a market. So even if you have a $0 balance because you bet $1,000 on Team A, feel free to bet Team B: we only monitor your maximum loss in the market, not the total amount you have bet.
Commissions
At Matchbook, there are no fees charged per trade or per winnning bet; we only apply commission based on your final profit in a market. If you lose or break even in a market, you pay no commissions at all, so it's possible to generate tens of thousands of dollars in trading activity completely free of charge
