    What ganch says is in that post is 100% accurate assuming that one is able to read and do basic arithmetic.

      5 solid cappers that haven't been mentioned are: cocknocker, dexter, roasthawg, shoebox, and wangichu.
      All 5 have consistently capped well, and contribute a lot of good info.

            That post analyzed the value of "small bet" bonus hunting, which is to say, the act of running through a rollover by placing arbitrarily small bets. The idea was to demonstrate that in many cases recreational players hoping to make their deposits last as long as possible would be better off playing at low juice without a bonus than taking a bonus at a full-juice book.

            In that respect my usage of the specific term "bonus whoring" was perhaps somewhat inappropriate.

            For a spreadsheet comparing the values of playing out bonuses with small bets versus large bets see this thread.

                            The thread itself is flawed by limiting the rankings to just a handful of posters. Several +ev bettors post in SI and TT and aren't considered here.

                              Ganch,

                              It's not downloading for me, but if it also assumes that you're laying -110 on each side, then there's no point in even looking at it.

                                Is that as bad as laying -700 on a woman's tennis match when fair value is -920?

                                  Monkey, you are a bona fide internet tough guy

                                  I bet you walk down the street like you're John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, thinking you are hot stuff, but then end up going back home because no one looks at you except to laugh, no one talks to you because you're uptight/boring/anti-social, and no one shows you the copious amounts of respect you think that you're due.

                                  And you sleep with a teddy bear, you pussy

                                      It does not. Payout odds and vig (or edge as the case may be) are both user-defined parameters.

                                      And as I mentioned the point of the original post had been to demonstrate that in many cases recreational players hoping to make their deposits last as long as possible would be better off playing bonus-free at a low-juice book than taking a bonus at a full-juice book (hence the focus on -110 lines).

                                        Wrong. As usual. I only treat people like this when they deserve zero respect from me, which includes you and the storytelling crowd at SBR. You might want to ask some of the posters that I've met here how accurate your assumptions are. I don't like pieces of shit. And you, ma'am, are a presumptive, ignorant, storytelling piece of shit.

                                          I think any solution would be to ask people to keep ROI numbers ,and find out who is making money but it seems impossible to really take a scientific or mathematical approach in an analysis of peoples success rates in this line of investing.

                                          In the stock boards I inhabit or any in any other line of investing, you always ask to see some proof. But in gambling, especially sports gambling, its all conjecture.

                                          Does anybody even really know the lifetime numbers of Billy Walters, who is a truly great sports gambler ? I can tell you Peter Lynch's numbers, I could analyze Berkshire Hathaway numbers from the past twenty years,go over aggressive oil and commodity funds like black rock and their roi numbers but sports wagering is not a field where you can do that . Even in Poker, you can know who is successful that year,exempting the online guys, by looking at yearly earnings from tournaments , endorsements etc...

                                          In sports gambling ,who is making money? Syndicates, the whole mythical sharp money crowd,the stanford wong sharp sports betting cadre, walters, fezzik,the hilton contest guys,these phantom sharps you hear about moving lines? I have read every book from wongs to sharp money to even Wayne Roots books,lol, and its still hard to verify. Who is making money on a consistent basis and willing to talk about how they are doing it ?


                                          How can you verify peoples success? Poker, even Horses, is light years ahead in terms of giving you numbers and of knowing who is successful.
