Phigment: Thank you for trying that--could you let us know what firewall and version number you are using? The tech department has been trying hard to duplicate this problem and are very interested to hear you've found a firewall that doesn't work.
J Hoffa: Exactly right about the exposures. If you bet both sides of the game, you'd be zeroed out and all your cash would be free again. This means you can bet a game early and take a profit whenever the line moves in your direction.

Baseball Guy: The "$100 deposit and bet" requirement was intended to guard against all the people out there with 12 or 13 "cousins" in need of $50 (not to mention the thousands of aforementioned Poles and Estonians). Hope that's understandable and that you had a good experience with the site.
I think I'm starting to get the hang of matchbook, and I must say that I like it A LOT.
I have a question about these "commission credits" though. What do I have to wager to unlock them?
And that 2% that you say you skim off...is that in regards to winnings?
For example, say I bet team A against team B at +100 for $100. Does that mean that you'll take $2 from the $100 and then I'll have $98?
Thanks for the replies.
So far, I am VERY impressed with matchbook. Their live help is good. Only thing I'd change is the ability to adjust the spread if you wanted to.

Good questions, Ensign Lee. Commissions are 2%, so Matchbook would take $2 in the example where you won $100. But note also that we would take *nothing* when you lost your wager. Also, you can bet back and forth on Team A and Team B, and we'll only charge commission based on your net winnings, not on each winning bet. That saves a lot of money during Live Betting, when you can buy and sell your position many times.
Commission credits are our way of making sure customers don't have to pay any transaction costs, which can be significant. If it costs you 2.9% to Neteller money to the site, we'll award you that money in commission credits. These credits will automatically cover any commissions you'd pay on winning wagers until you've used all your credits, at which point you start paying for commissions on your own.

Ah, ok. Thank you for the reply.
I have one more question, then. Since y'all are taking 2% of our winnings should we win, then would it be correct to just subtract two points from whatever odds we will be offering / accepting to gain our "true" odds?
For instance, let's say I took Denver at -3 at +105. Would it be correct to just say that if I won, then it would be at +103 instead?
