    How many book accounts ....
    would you recommend to have 2...3...4...5....15??

    This question comes mainly because I see that line shopping is the best way to go (according to many of you here) ... therefore, stats and new events just help ease the thought of your wager (nothing else) ... so what is it boys ... how many book accounts do you need in order to wager like a pro?

    Also many of the boys in here I would doubt would have $1000 balance in there accounts, therefore, lets put $100 balance on them, what would be the proper amount to wager on a determined game?? I've read many saying you should wager 1% - 5% - 10% ... what would be the proper percentage of a bankroll?? This is strictly based on WISE gambling.

    All of the safe books you can afford with your bankroll, some books are must haves for MLB (MB, Pinny, Wsex f.e.) and some are just nice to have.
    If you find out one of your books never has a good line..drop it and keep looking somewhere else

    Depends a lot on deposit/cashout methods and speed these days thou, sadly.
    As book to book transfers are the easiest way, shops that are connected like MB + Wsex are a big + for me.

      For football i plan on using 4, each for its seperate reason.... 5 Dimes (best lines for ML sports, many wagering options), BetOnline (only if there software problems are worked out soon, mostly for -105 lines) Bookmaker (for the early lines and loyalty program), and whichever book above B- that has the best bonuses for me.

        I don't mean to burst your dreams here but with either amount ($100 or $1,000) it's not going to be enough for several exceptional seasons if one follows the 1-5% rule. I'll add that one should go with Matchbook with that little start up. Good luck to you.

            Understood. I happen to see things in a way many others don't. No offense was meant. Carry on.
