    Utilize all three, of course, to always get your best price.

    Heritage most times has the sharpest lines but more limited max wagers.

    for the average player, a bigger bonus is usually the best route
    for someone that likes to line shop, or bet props, they probably should have a balance at all 3

    Well said, but the truth of the matter is that 95% of the people in here who actually wager do NOT have enough money to adequately finance a three book operation.

    Depends on the amount you bet and when you bet. If you bet $50-$250 on game day=BAS. IF you bet 1k at anytime=Heritage. If you are a heavy hitter=Bookmaker. All three are solid and have their advantages. Try them all out at see what one matches your style of play. Not a fan of Bet Online but that's just me.

    I have Heritage, good book and all but I was rather surprised the other night when they wouldn't allow my Middleton prop (under 25.5 pts scored which won easily) with a Buck money line wager.

    In my opinion that's not a correlated wager.

    If anything that is inversely correlated. But I can't think of any offshore that lets you do that kind of parlay

    No, it shouldn't be a correlated play, but a lot of books just keep it simple and disallow any same game parlays so they don't have to go through the mental exercise of deciding which combinations to allow and then configuring that into the software. Easier just to say "no".

    what book would allow that parlay?

    i would argue that it had negative correlation... chances of bucks winning are greater when they score a lot of points, and that has a correlation to middleton scoring a bunch of points.
    not a huge correlation though

    He said under + Bucks win. Yes, inverse correlation, so the book should be okay with it, right?

    yeah but if it's correlated i can't see why they would take either side of it

    if alabama is -41 with a total of 47, books wouldn't let you parlay alabama with the over OR with the under

    I'm OK with the decision, it wasn't an angle shoot on my part, my analysis of the game going in was that if the Bucks were going to win the Greek was going to take over and that nobody else had a shot pf scoring over 26 points.

    I see Heritage's point of view, I still don't see how a 50 dollar two spot parlay is going to hurt them though.
    Not upset at all, I sent in as a stand alone single prop bet instead.

    Assuming these aren't individually reviewed and the software kicks them out automatically.

    we can agree to disagree, but when betmgm gives an initial bonus of $600 1x rollover ,then just for playing they offer number bonuses throughout week(1x roollover), then unibet $500 initial bonus (1x rollover, )and thats just to name some, please enlighten me what makes offshore better?

    Because you say so? Obviously Fishhead and you are getting paid from these sportsbooks to promote then, but atleast come up with some reasons why.. Does BAS and Heritage offer
    15-40% freeplays if u win on 4 team -7 team parlays, mgm does. And I have no stock in any of these US books
    But atleast advise the players correctly.

    MGM has limited several 'sharps' around here to $500 max win on everything quickly.

    They do have super attractive promotional offers though. So definitely one for the recreational bettors.

    US Books will always limit sharp players. I've heard draftkings has limited some to 50 -100. This is why offshores, like BM, that take high limits will always be around and thrive.

    To be fair, you are trying to compare BetMGM Bubblegum bookie to serious bookmakers.

    JJ isn't always right, but he is 100% correct here.

    I was comparing FanDuel DraftKings
    All us books not just BetMGM( was an example). As for the moron JJ who knows zero about sports( he thinks people actually listen to him), and only only promotes books that pay him to do so, is telling players to play at books that limit players and can’t put serious money down atleast from
    what I read. I was referring to the bonuses that all these US books offer and their rollovers and promos they offer All fatboy says each day is reduced juice which is not as an big advantage compared to some of the us books. And for what it’s worth some of these US books have their issues also.

    I love the legal offerings.

    I love the bonuses and promos.

    No use trying to compare them to serious bookies though.


    If you love maninstream licensed books too, then you are probably a very normal rec bettor like most of us here. The guys you are arguing with think differently.

    Offshore would be my preference but you have to use bitcoin and the fees are complete effing bullsh!t.

    You will get hit 3 F*CKEN TIMES IN FEES to deposit and twice to withdraw..

    1. Buying bitcoin from exchange (MASSIVE FEES / SCALES HIGHER DEPENDING ON AMOUNT)
    2. Move bitcoin to a wallet (MORE FEES / AGAIN SCALES HIGHER WITH AMOUNT)
    3. Move bitcoin from wallet to sportsbook (FEES AGAIN / ONCE AGAIN SCALES HIGHER DEPENDING ON AMOUNT)

    - GET HIT TWICE WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A WITHDRAWAL. At least sportsbooks will cover the first fee associated with a withdrawal, you have to pay the last two.

    This is what ruined offshore for most of us and why if you're lucky enough to be in a legal state, a gazillion times better.

    Fees are incredibly low right now. And there are strategies you can implement to greatly reduce the number of fees you have to pay. Bitcoin is a godsend since it eliminates all of the BS issues you have to deal with with other transaction methods. With bitcoin, everything is under your control.

    bitcoin isn't as good as the old neteller days, but still much better than the check/*********** days

    what ruined offshore for me wasn't bitcoin fees, it was sportsbooks becoming more and more shitty... the #1 thing that killed my ability to make money was betonline cancelling live bets so often that it's heads they win, tails you lose

    A post on some of the ways you keep all the bitcoin fees down would be very helpful. Bitcoin network fees are nothing, but I still haven't found an optimal way of using the exchanges and personal wallets to not lose a decent chunk of money in the process. Especially when transacting $ xx,000 amounts.
