Let me start by saying I dont know the finanacial shape of Mansion myself but I do find most of the comments on these boards comical. I love the guys who think they can tell you if a book wins or loses by the lines they use, NOBODY KNOWS UNLESS THEY KNOW THE CUSTOMERS!!! I run a book I can use Duke -3 when the world is -1 AND STILL NEED THE DOG!!!!!!!!!! Experts would think I was taking a gamble on Duke because I was 2pts off the "screen" and I must have loved the favorite and got buried with Dog $$, the simple fact is I know my customers and I know I will write 5 to 1 on Duke no matter what line I hang. When the Dog Covers I read "Shoebox got killed last night, he hung a 3 on Duke all night long and the dog won outright, shoebox got crushed" Meanwhile I needed the dog. I also love the comparisons of Mansion to BetPanam, NAB or Alladins Gold. Those 3 books were "Forum" books with very litte start up cash, I knew it, most insiders knew it, they throw thier name out there on these boards, with the same 50 sharps looking to pick them apart, none of those books spent money in other area's for advertising. Mansion is spending huge money all over Europe in adverting, I didnt see NAB, Panam, Alladins doing that, you know why??? THEY DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY TO BEGIN WITH!!!!! They needed new postup money just to pay the bills! I am not recommending Mansion to anyone who cant afford to lose thier deposit but I do currently play there and will for a while but I know and manage my risk. Many of the cheap shots and rumors are comming from other Sportsbook operators that cant compete with the -105 and also refuse to use a -105 line themselves, I have never seen so many rumors and speculation about a book that HASNT slow paid a single customer and is spending money by the boatload. The last thing that I laugh at is: "they book with opinionated lines, they have to go broke" So every book should just make a program to mirror every line move Olympic, Grande and Cris make??? Guess what guys, whats may be a good line for BetCris isnt always a good line for everyone else, YOU DONT HAVE CRIS'S CUSTOMERS AND VOLUME!!!! 2 of the most succesful and respected books off all time, book with opinionated lines PINNACLE and DELMAR and between those 2 books they probably have more money then 10-20 books combined. I dont know the truth behind Mansion but neither do the people on these boards that write like they know the truth. Good Luck everyone and I hope nobody gets stiffed by anybody this year!
