LOW JUICE Or BONUS

El Guapo · 03-10-06, 04:21 PM

It seem to me that low juice is better but I am still new to this.

Low Juice is way better to me!! Especially If you are a good capper.
I myself win everyday selling points @ pinny.

It depends. If the question is, if I could only have one book would I want a bonus or low juice?, I would say low juice.

If the question is about adding a new book to what I've already got, I would say bonus.

I'll assume we're talking about the latter and vote bonus.

How often can you open an account with a new book
before you run out of books.

about 600 or more time if the lists on s.b.r. are correct.

Yeah but how many can you trust?

You can't trust any of them no matter what anybody tells you. The key is quantifying your risk to properly assess how many additional books you are willing to take on.

low juice/no juice/ positive juice is the way to go...meeting rollovers sucks...

bigboydan · 03-11-06, 02:34 AM

no doubt about it... it's low vig.

The lower the juice, the better. So the vote is low juice.

I agree with mudcat. Otherwise everyone would just have an account with Pinnacle and a couple of others full stop. So, you need both to maximise the potential if you are smart.

I don't want to question anybody's sincerity but I can't help but wonder how much the old "Bonus Whore" prejudice might be factoring into a poll like this.

There is that thing in some parts of the posting forum culture that using bonuses is automatically dishonorable. In extreme cases some posters are almost like racists; they can't rationally discuss the subject, they just throw epithets.

I just laugh at people like that and cheerfully continue to use bonuses to maximize my income. But I think some people actually get intimidated and don't want to admit they want anything to do with bonuses.

Maybe that should be a new subject of it's own.

Anyway I'm not necessarily saying that's what's happening here. Just thinking out loud.

I never really care for bonus or boner. I like to wager my way and not how many times I need to rollover or active days.

But if they offer me a bonus, I wouldn't mind.

Mudcat answer this?

I agree with Freebie, I really don't like bonuses and being tied to any rollover, backfips you need to do to meet your bonus requirements. Low Juice is my choice.

img, basicly it all depends on how long it takes a book to profile you.

mookie? I have lost by a 1/2pt 5 times in 5 days. I understand
your sig.

mrmookie · 03-11-06, 04:12 PM

Sorry to hear that IMGV94. I went through a very bad time over a couple of weeks losing by a half point, thus my signature. ! Hang in there, you never know when you might start winnings those babies by a half point.

I would much rather have the reduced juice.

I don't know yet.

I remember Fishhead saying awhile back that he had used 150 books. I'm nowhere near that. So far I have stuck mainly with higher rated books and have probably used about 40.

That averages out to about 1 new book per month in the time I have been doing this full-time. Decent new books pop up - or existing books get upgraded to a decent level - almost that fast so I should be able to continue at that rate indefinitely.

The more I follow the goings-on in the industry, the more I am coming to believe that I have been too fussy and that it is financially sensible to take more risk on some lower rated books. I'm not recommending this for anyone else but when I look at the risk/reward as it applies to my situation, I think I can handle more risk and make it pay.
