    cant remember where I used to see those cases where itd be made of wood and there would be like 7 or 8 small tv screens on different channels, would be nice to have something like that but instead of tvs, little lcd computer screens.

      Yeah, I'd rather rely on some guy at the bar named Joey to pay me out on my big win instead of books that have been in business 20 years. What could possibly go wrong?

        Don't limit your outs unless you have no choice. Give your outs more outs, if you can.

        Spread strategy and money around and a winning bettor can get away with a lot in today's environment.

          You have no idea what else these guys are into either, or who they are answering to, I'll keep taking my chances with online books, haven't been burned yet and keep the risk to a manageable minimum.

            Yep, I use to have a 3 computer set up for live betting, 2 laps and a desktop.. I'd even split screens.. I gave it up.. Too much work.. I do get a few no brainer MMA live bets that I'd love hammer out at times but can only get it on 5dimes.. I just shake my head and wish I could have live bet on all my other books and clean up..

            As you know 5dimes does have limits with their live betting.. So I lose out money when that happens every now and then. .

              Yeah who the fuckk wants to chase some sleazy bookie down when you go on a big run instead of putting in a bitcoin cashout and waiting an hour for it to hit your account.

                  I use BetOnline, 5Dimes and Bookmaker. Was thinking about adding Heritage when football starts but I think I'm good with just 3 especially since I'm just a recreational sports bettor.

                    Serious gamblers have a min of two screens going at once

                    Most of us have a large desktop one plus a laptop going

                      Joey and carmine from Benson Hurst love it when I try to tell them their math is wrong at the end of the week

                                Imagine this - You have just signed up to 30 new online sports books.. Deposited just enough in each account to open them. $30 to $50.. You get small initiation bonuses as well... You've invested around $1500 now..

                                You take your time and bet slowly and methodically to get each book to $100. $3 to $5 bets to begin... You continue and slowly increase your bets according to your balance with each book.. Then you reach $500 on each book, continue on betting cautiously and you finally get to $5500 in 6 months to a years time... You have gambled carefully and picked your spots.. You protected your bank roll on each book.. A year later now you are ready to cash out $5000 on each book... Total money expected to come in is $150,000.. ...

                                How fun is that?

                                I know you can just stick to one book and bet large amounts instead with that one book and build up that one big balance. The problems you will face though is that one account you will get limited and cashing out $150,000 on that one book gets very dicey.. If you make regular smaller monthly drawls instead you can get cut off..

                                More books the better I say if you are good disciplined sports gambler..

                                      And even bet both sides here and there to move money over. Say you get all 30 books to $100. You can find lines that equal out and bet both sides, it effectively moves that $100 from one book to another and eliminates that balance. That book see's your balance go to zero and offers you another bonus. I just did that with todays Nats game, 5d had the -1.5 line at -130 and one of my bonus books had the +1.5 line at +135. I bet the bonus amount and will effectively move that money over to my 5d book for withdraw without having to run the bonus. And If the game went the other way I made a little money, it's risk free. That is why some books continue to give me 100%-200% bonuses every month, because all they see is me losing money every time.

                                            They are out there.. Do some research..

                                            We all know the big name books like Bovada, Betonline, BetDSI, Bookmaker, Mybookie, Bovada, 5dimes, Pinnacle, BoDog, Sportbetting.ag, Gtbets, Bet365, Betnow, Intertops, Topbet, etc.. etc.. That's just 15 I named off the top of my head quickly.. You can google all active online sports books and that list is long and keeps going..

                                                    The only problem with having so many books is after you figure out your bets for the day you then have to go from book to book to place those bets, see which lines are doable and not.. That takes time..

                                                                The only reason to not have multiple accounts at multiple books that offer bonuses is if your betting several thousand a game and its not worth your time - these bonuses are ridiculous and the new and smaller books have to offer them because of how established the bigger books have become over the last decade. Bitcoin ensures that you are likely to get paid even at these smaller books as long as you are smart and don't run your balance over 5-10k.

                                                                  I just don't need them and the books I rely on more heavily don't offer them to me. I suppose if I wanted to do a branching out campaign, I could probably sprinkle some deposits with some of those books offering bonuses, but the more I think about, the more it's just a pain.

                                                                  I've played that game would only do it if I was suddenly limited in choices. Being able to get down in Nevada is a bit more expensive, but a good alternative when necessary. It also helps in keeping some plays out of the online books.

                                                                  I just don't want to swim around in that pool of books, legit or not, trying to hustle...and the feeling is probably mutual.

Takes too long to scan the best lines and I found myself using pen and paper also. I made money but it was too labor intensive to do both. I used 1vice, bookmaker, YouWager, BetDSI, 5dimes, wagerweb, betonline, Bovada, and got the best line the majority of the time. 1Vice very seldom had the best lines, Bovada Never had the best lines. This year I will find a new book with a good bonus and return to heritagesports. I could not deposit into heritage because I didn't have BTC, but I'm going to drop Bovada and BetDsi out of the rotation. I don't like the changes BetDsi made to their website. But I will still use multiple books. YouWager had -105 lines on Friday nights that none of the books can compete.
