      I don't have a problem forfeiting a bonus. I just don't think I will win as much as I will give back. Capping has been hard this football season.

            that 613 has to come out at some point. there is no rollover for the above poster.

            I believe the only good way to use those sticky bonuses is to make an all in bet right off the bat, then withdraw if you win, cuz you get used to that sticky money and you feel like you are LOSING funds if you keep it in there for a while

              that is what is happening to me. Had 3600.00, now down to 3000.00. So that is why I am withdrawing 2500.00

                if u have 3000 which iincludes a sticky of 613 you wont be able to withdraw 2500. they will deduct sticky bonus first which will leave you with 2387

                  I have 3600 dollars with the sticky bonus, so I will get a full 2500.00 and leave in 500.00

                          it means it comes out of your account upon cashout...and there is no rollover

                          deposit 1000
                          sticky bonus of 200

                          1200 total balance, 200 comes off balance if you withdrawal

                            Correct. If you get your sticky bonus you have lost all of your money to get it. I can't use mine until I am under a 50 dollars cash balance.

                                    Hi Q, a review of your account shows a total of $613.00 is on credit. As per the rules of the bonus, once your balance and or active wagers fall below $50, the credit is cleared or expires upon a cash-out. ($3479.48 - $613.00 = $2866.48) so the amount to be withdrawn is $2866.48. You are welcome Click Here to further review the rules of the bonus. Always at your service, Marlenie

                                    Just as I thought.

                                          Leave it or lose it. Sounds easy to me.

                                                        How to Scalp a better price on your MLB favorites

                                                        I was examining the daily baseball lines today and noticed an interesting situation that I thought was worth speaking about. I noticed that one of my betting outlets was listing a higher price on the underdog than most other shops. I thought that this would present a great opportunity for some free money with a scalp. Let me explain quickly what a scalp in sports betting is for those that are unfamiliar with this tactic and then we will see if there is an even better way to use this to our advantage.

                                                        The basic concept of a scalp is to find an underdog that will pay off a higher amount than the price it costs for a losing wager on the favorite. Here are the lines for our example:

                                                        Sportsbook A had listed the Atlanta/Chicago game as:

                                                        Atlanta +170
                                                        Chicago -190

                                                        Sportsbook B had listed this offering:

                                                        Atlanta +145
                                                        Chicago –155

                                                        This provides a chance to win money in with no risk by betting the following:

                                                        At Sportsbook A you would place a wager on Atlanta at +170 in the amount of $100 to win $170. Wager #2 would be a bet at Sportsbook B on Chicago at a price of -155 in the amount of $155 to win $145. If Atlanta wins you will collect $170 from Sportsbook A and lose $155 to Sportsbook B for a profit of $15. If Chicago wins you will lose $100 to Sportsbook A and win $100 from Sportsbook B for a break even result.

                                                        In order to win this bet you will need to have an underdog win if you are betting an equal amount. However, let’s say you like Chicago in this game and you want to bet them. Let’s see how we can use these line differentials to our advantage.

                                                        Let’s assume that my normal wager is $50/unit. If I wanted to bet Chicago and I was a diligent line shopper I would bet at Sportsbook B and would have to lay $77.50 to win $50. However, if I want to use these line differences I can decrease my risk. The 1st bet we will make is to bet $100 at Sportsbook A on Atlanta to win $170.

                                                        Our 2nd wager will be at Sportsbook B on Chicago in the amount of $232.50 to win $150. If Chicago wins we will lose $100 to Sportsbook A and collect $150 from Sportsbook B for a net win of $50. If Atlanta wins we will collect $170 from Sportsbook A and lose $232.50 to Sportsbook B for a net loss of $62.50.

                                                        What we have done is lower our intial risk to where we are risking $62.50 to win $50 at a price of -124. This allows us to play the favorite at a reduced price.

                                                        This process is also commonly known at sports arbitrage.

                                                          yes, you cold try it. if carib accepts all your balance on one wager, you then make opposite wager on matchbook. manipulate it so that either way you end up w/ more money, which is surely doable as you have high % of useless bonus sitting there.
