    Don't forget that that pending future money will come out of your 20% balance boost bonus when the leagues start back up. I'm not saying you shouldn't bet on futures, but you need to think your EV is > 20% in order for a wager to make fiscal sense.

    ????

    What?

    The bonus for Betonline is based upon your Highest amount in the book on any given day.

    So this statement I don’t believe is correct.

    i think that balance boost goes based on the HIGHEST daily balance? so it wouldn't matter

    i didn't opt-in to that boost anyway... under the thought that hopefully ufc/golf/etc that i like to bet on come back first

    All situations are different. It might not matter to you, but it does matter to someone like me who has a LOT of future bets and therefore a large pending balance. So I need to refrain from adding many more futures while I'm waiting for older ones to gradually fall off into my available balance. Otherwise, my HIGHEST daily balance will not be optimized during this period. For this reason, I'm focusing on only short term wagers now.

    Yeah, mine will because they aren't all dependent on suspended sports league play (NFL draft, politics, etc.). Sorry for adding confusion. It's a legit concern for me and others, but very specific to individual player circumstances.

    hey no worries thanks for the input... and these aren't necessarily "that good" where any of them are an auto-bet

    They have will Rickie Fowler will play in the Ryder Cup as today's even money odds. Same $100 limit. I think these are the ones with high odds as a means of trying to get deposits that'll likely pay (hence the low limit).
