scalp available on tcu/wisconsin

[milwaukee mike]

bodog has tcu -3 +115
plenty of shops have wisc +3 -110, Sportbet has wisc +3 -107, pinnacle has wisc +3 -101

only $500 limit at bodog but that's still good for an easy $20 or so + if you have a rollover to meet somewhere all the better

nice find

Is it really worth it to tie up $1,000 of your bankroll for a week to make $25???

It is if one has 40,000+ offshore..........

i'm with you fishhead, nobody else is going to pay me 2% interest for a year, let alone a week...

for people with smaller rolls, scalps like this are only good to meet a bonus rollover somewhere

If one has $40,000 offshore and max limit is $500 it would benefit you more to just bet the weak side of the line.

$500 bet has an expected profit of $48

Arb has a profit of $25

Once your bankroll grows so large that you run into problems with max wagers it is more profitable not to arb, if your roll is small it is not worth tying your funds up for 1 week.

Just my opinion of course

agree with sharpcat, better off just betting the "off line" at bodog and letting that ride if your bankroll can afford to lose $500

Not enough information to make such a statement. IE wtf his net worth is and how much of his bankroll he is getting in play.

even if you have $40k offshore at a time you might primarily have that money from bonus offers that aren't rolled over yet and might not be comfortable betting $500/game.
and i think i for one am in the camp that the "off line" isn't the one at bodog, wisconsin +3 -107 looks pretty good to me...

I'm curious. Which side do you want to win when you make these scalps? For me, i would want the book with the lesser money in my account to win. The best scenario for me is say you find a total of 4 scalps in bodog and another book for example in 2 months to be reasonable, you win 2 bets on bodog and 2 bets on the other book. That way you don't have more money on one book and both books have an equal balance. I hate having all/majority of one book win because that way, i have no money to put in other book. Thoughts on this?

[milwaukee mike]

my thoughts (since i'm a bonus whore) are that i always want to lose on the side with biggest reload bonuses and/or less money left to roll over.
there are also other considerations if you're playing with smaller amounts like 1 free withdrawal per month at bodog and many other sites

anything less than a top rated book and i always want to lose on that side for fear of being slow paid, and they usually give bigger reload bonuses
