Best strategy for 99% of guys

[Shonner]

Bet exactly the same amount each game.

Use multiple SAFE books to get virtually unlimited bonuses

Compare lines to Pinny/Matchbook, try to find values. Only bet values.

Posters wouldn't go broke and should make money if this is done properly.

Some good advice here, Shonner. Checking out lines from Pinny and Matchbook is a must.

I only have 2 size of bets , and never vary.

85% are 1 unit and the rest are 2 units.

Shonner, elaborate on the 'virtually' unlimited bonuses. I've only been offshore betting for a couple months now and using 3 books... but I still don't pay alot of attention to getting bonuses. Is there a certain tactic to always get bonuses?

Hey bud, what I am saying is that there are at least 15-20 pretty solid books out there and if you utilize a lot of them you can be a bonus whore. You can win and still get bonuses by getting sign up and reload (if you're down at one one particular book) bonuses and create a system where you are virtually getting a bonus on every dime you fund.

Another important thing to do would be eliminate fees. Make sure you deposit the minimum amount needed to have fees reimbursed, and don't pay for a payout - if you have to, don't get ** or ** - get a check. Almost all top books have at least one free payout a month.

By doing all these things there is a very high % that you can be profitable in the long term, but it takes a lot of discipline (no gut plays, no varying wager amounts, etc.)

But guys should take this advice.

Good call Shonner. That was my plan once my back got big enough. Play the bonus game. Good luck to all.

what advice do you have on funding all those books?....do u mostly use bank wires..book to book transfers?

[Monte]

this is like telling a smoker to chew bubblegum, your advice is for semi-sharp ppl and not compulsive gamblers who will find this boring.
You could as well tell them to bonus whore and scalp it out, but this is not gambling.

[pavyracer]

Actually the best advice it to pick winners at a high rate. When you perfect this you offset any mathematical deficiencies you may have.

I never said everyone would follow it.

shonner this was easier back in the day with neteller but still works

most people don't realize they should just bet the whole amount of deposit+bonus (and i usually like to do this on +175 or so nhl), that way you only have to roll it over a small % of the time
then just keep making more deposits and keep getting more bonuses

easy money playing the game this way, but many here would prefer to go the old fashioned route of attempting to predict outcomes (fool's game)

Yeah, that's how I do it, I just wager the whole thing when I get a bonus. Plus, I don't want a lot of money sitting around in these accounts, I don't trust anyone these days.

i wish i could do this, but it's extremely difficult for me to deposit (and safely withdraw) at many books. my deposit methods were shut off at pinny, i can only play at 5D and Matchbook for the time being.

The best strategy for 99% of gamblers is to do what a dealer at Foxwoods told me once. Just roll down their car window, drop $20 out of it, and go home. Saves on bigger losses.

some books will pocket your bonus if u beat them claiming you arent a recreational player
