    Reduced Juice or Cashback program?
    Over at 5dimes, what do you think?

    Keep in mind, I am a SMALL player.

    Reduced Juice (doesn't make THAT big of a deal) or cash back program?

    What would you choose?

    Reduced juice, definitely. It adds up a lot, and I would assume that the savings would probably be more than what you would get under the cash back program.

      What If I deposited 500$ and I can get some cash back for it, then would your mind be changed?

      I am just confused right now.

        Basically I would receive a nice chunk back, and would lose reduced juice, again I am a small, small player..

            I play at 5dimes and I like the reduced juice! It really does add up! Also, never have to worry about the rollover when I want to take cash out. Just pay me!

              That is true, but the cashback has no rollover either.

                    youve asked this question multiple times.. reduced juice is best but it is apparent you want the cash so take that.

                      Okay, let's put some real numbers to it then. Let's say you take reduced juice, and you get a line for -103, that you would normally get for -110. You put $100 down. Now let's say this pick loses. You saved yourself $7 - which would be 7% "cash back". Now, let's say you did this 4 more times, and all 4 picks lose. The reduced juice savings definitely add up. What cash back percentage is the book offering you?

                        Well it would be $60 on a $400 deposit.

                        I don't bet 100$ often on reduced juice tho. Small player.

                            I understand the if you bet a 100 at -103, you save yourself 7$ right there if it was -110.

                            I probably make a 100$ wager once a week tho, not too much.

                              unless you plan on losing your money and never depositing again, its pretty easy to see over time.. 1 week, 1 month, 1 year you will easily save more money with reduced juice

                              Everyone keeps telling you this and you keep on your cashback ways so get the cash back then

                                  take the 20% cash back. if you win, you wont givva fukk about what juice you laid but if you lose, and bust, you will have a nice chunk of change coming back your way to keep you in the game.

                                    depends on how good of a gambler you are. reduced juice doesn't matter if you suck cause you'll lose it all anyway. but same can go for cash back. if you suck at picking games its irrelevant

                                      Like I mentioned I am not a heavy better, don't put much on each game, so I guess cash back is the way to go.

                                      On the other hand, the poster who mentioned the -103 lines, compared to the -110 lines made a great point.

                                      Will think this over, still have until like 3 EST to decide.

                                            Reduced juice I would think is the way as a "small" player. I think if you play larger amounts, cashback is a better option as the law of averages would dictate you'll probably re-deposit enough times to get a nice chunk of change.

                                            In all honesty, I think you just sit down and figure out how much money you deposit into a book during a year. Do the simple math on your cashback percentage and it'll make sense for you to do one of the other. I started with the reduced juice and switched to cash back in August.

                                                    In long run ash back on loses is much better, books do not offer bonuses all the time.

                                                      Reduced juice would be best, even for a small player.

                                                        Keep in mind, I am a SMALL player.

                                                        Reduced Juice (doesn't make THAT big of a deal) or cash back program?

                                                        What would you choose?


                                                        Reduced juice, long term, assuming you can hit 50%+, = the difference between being up or down, between being up a lot or up a little, between being down a lot or down a little

                                                        Only problem with it is reduced football lines for Sat/Sun don't come up until like 12 hours before kick-off, so you risk getting a bad line after movement and have to lay standard -110 if you want to make early picks.

                                                        If you usually wait to bet football late, or you like to bet baseball or basketball (don't have to wait for reduced juice on these), then most definitely take reduced.

                                                            They have a new option there so you can buy points cheaper but i think i will stay with reduced juice as it covers a lot more sports like golf matchups and tennis as well as all the American sports.So the answer is reduced juice

                                                              If you're going to be playing over a long time, reduced juice is the way to go. No rollover to worry about. Once you take a bonus it will be hard to get reduced juice. As long you're not using BP, the reduced juice will stay with you.
