    Alright, let's talk sportsbook bonus surfing

    So, my position is this.

    As many of you know, poker has long time been my side hustle. Mainly did that and not many real money bets for a long time. Well, all the local live rooms are closed now and as has been discussed the online climate mostly blows now - most of the good live players have taken it online, etc.

    When I did bet, I was not horrible but not sharp - mostly chasing based on trends of favorite teams (which I still occasionally do) - and most importantly not chasing bonuses.

    What I want - books that pay out quick, no bullshit. If it takes a little time but it's a sweet bonus that's cool as well. I see some guys here (Nucker, Milwaukee Mike and many more) talking big bonus and btc profits. I want to learn the game and for it to be my new side hustle.

    What's your go to spot and why? The more the merrier, but please only straight shooters.

    Casino bonuses are cool as well and of course poker bonuses.

    Peace.

    if you can still get bookmaker bonuses/betpoints that would be #1

    they won't limit your bet size if you go on a run... they will take away bonuses/betpoints though

    #2 is betonline they also won't limit you, and you can keep getting bonuses

    #3 is anywhere else

    Cincy Doug Polk will tell you that he got started essentially setmining multiple tables online, which is what I do.

    You saying he's wrong?

    Agreed, if you're repeatedly playing the same player pool.

    You're the only one so far to actually give me advice and I really appreciate it man.

    Can I have a link or links to threads where you're posted advice/strategy? I'm a total noob at btc., books.

    Show us pics of the trades & I’ll shut the fukk up real quick. You act like you’ve never lost on a trade this calendar year.

    well i'm most certainly down on the stuff i bought at 38,400 and 36,400 and 34,400 on the last trip back down and also the most recent 32,400... never pretended to be ahead on those

    but hopefully i will be up on those at some point

    i got lucky that btc has been in a range here, but i was way too dumb to hold any from $10 to $40,000

    Thanks again for the suggestions MM. I will be moving forward with both, along with Fanduel's bonus. I owe you one.

    Giving this one bump in case anyone else feels like hooking a brother up.

    There are not a not of juicy promos after you get your initial bonuses

    Small odds boosts here and there with $25 caps..no re up bonuses sportsbetting like offshore

    Offshore has so many juicy offers its unreal and lower juice

    The promos get glorified USA but I have accounts every book and rarely get an odds boost that is worth it

    i would go for bookmaker and the betpoints. bookmaker gives you 10% on reloads at 4 x RO. i think their initial bonus is 50% cash, not sure of roll.

    i do wager web and their "1% freeplay cash" back weekly but only get 10% cash/15% freeplay with 8 x RO on deposits. all of their roll overs are higher than other books and they limit your bet size at certain tiers of bonuses.

    betnow gives cash bonuses and rollovers are 5 X on the initial 50% bonus and 25% reloads. only thing is the variety of bets is not as much as the A+ books.

    It can still be done but its not nearly as lucrative as it was in early 2000's. Many more outs and lower rollovers and bigger bonuses. You can still make money but you will probably be playing in some places where you might get stiffed. Risk vs reward.
