y do ppl from on bonus whoring. I guess its wrong a lil if you never use site again. Seems like a good way to try a site and see if you like it before you commit to them. But if you shop at a store and 1 store gives you buy 1 get 1 free and then next week another store gives buy 1 get 1 free. why would you stay at the first store and not get the free 1 lol(just curious of peoples opinions)

Somebody bumped this thread yesterday. You should read it.
Taking a bonus on legitimate deposits at multiple shops is not considered bad business but it should also not be viewed as a profitable strategy either.

It used to be a lot more profitable back in the day. Like mid to late 90's. You could always find a scalp or at least an even line. Usually in the props. and bonuses were bigger then because as we found out there were a lot of desperate books trying to get deposit money by any means necessary.

just to keep it simple, say you would open 2 accounts send each $500 and get 40% cash bonus ( easy to get back then ). So now you have $700 in each book.

Look in props. Often you would find

Total Runs, Hits, and Errors on Seattle/Texas game

Book 1
Over 29 - -125
Under 29 + 105

Book 2

Over 29 +105
Under 29 -125

So you put $1435 in 1 book, whichever play wins then you could usually withdraw $735 from that account next day. Back then most books rules were that you had to keep the $700 ( dep + bonus) in account until rollover made but you could take winnings.

Then you would call the book you lost at, and get some manager on the line and tell them you lost the whole $500 and you want a chance to get it back. What kind of deal can they give you. They would think you are a degenerate loser and usually offer you up a good deal. You tell them, look XYZ book is offering a 50% bonus but since I am already signed with you guys I wanna reup with you, what can you do for me. They would pretty much always match XYZ book or better it. So now, you do it again and then you find 2 more books and do the same.

This shit was very profitable until books starting getting rid of the common scalps, tightening up their bonus rules, lowering bonuses, crying that you cheated them every time you win a big size bet, and just flat out not paying.

Those were the days.
