    Is this possible?

    Invest in 2 or more sport books with big bonus payments. Looking at the hockey lines for example one sees over 5 goals at some books and under 5.5 goals at others. Bet the over at one and bet the other at others. Other situations would be lakers-5.5 points at one book and spurs+6.5 at another book. If one keeps betting like this looking for middles and arbitrage and big bonuses could we win on a consistant basis?

    Possible but a lot more difficult than the good old days when generous bonuses were more common.

    These days a big bonus is, more often than not, a red flag.

    First answer would be no.I would imagine it is likely to be -120 on the over and -135 on the under or something like that. I have limited experience betting hockey, but often the lines on the totals look like that. You be better arbitraging the juice on ml.

    With hockey Totals you are going to pay a ton of juice and it probably won't be profitable. As for middling the NBA this is profitable in general but if you are paying -110 a side you are going to need more than 1 point. Check out the half-point calculator for push %, Justin7s book also has some charts, as do others. The best means of trying to do this is to get good at predicting line moves, buying low then selling high at close. The NHL is pretty static with line moves and most books are dealing a 20 cent line, so this is probably best done with MLB, but it is possible to grind with small arbs and bonus whore. Moreover, without access to matchbook/pinnacle this could be tough to pull off.

    maybe it could be an ongoing thread with someone doing this full time?

    Why not you? It'd be a shame to steal your idea.
