    Betting HeaVY ML Faves

    Even though I've been a gambler now for well over 8 years and successfully, I got a noob question thats probably as stupid as they get

    I'v been a member of several different sportsbooks over the last few years but currently BetUs.Com has been my sportsbook of choice. Their variety of sports to choose from is just never ending. Recently I discovered though, just betting these Heavy ML's in Tennis has been profitable as fuk. I've nailed 18 straight heavy ML's already banking me over 7 Grand. Now that's pretty sick but the money I'm laying down is a hell of alot bigger then what I'm winning. I understand the risks involved and how people are gonna say its not worth it to play such a pricey heavy favorite for a payout that isn't worth it, but my question is whether or not my sportsbooks gonna suspend my account or fuk wit my account in any way due to this..

    I'v been to successfull on this, and I think they can see this is a cheap way to get easy $$ off them their at BetUS.. I just wanna make sure there won't be no problems.

    I think it depends more on how you are betting than how much you are winning.
    Are you regularly beating the final odds? or chasing steam?
    The book knows you're luck won't keep running hot and you'll suffer some losses and they'll get most or all of their money back if you are just taking their "square" lines.

    Any sportsbook should love you and welcome your action with open arms.

    These are pretty much -250 - 500 ML's I'm taking. Now this is in Tennis where wins and losses are dependent on 1 individuals performance/experience/skills/record etc, not basketball or baseball where its all about team effort and upsets happen regularly. Like I'v said, I'v nailed 18 straight ML's straight up which have tallied me over 7 grand. Basically, I'm beating the bookie at their own game and I aint chasing (never was known to do that)... This is just my way of makin fast $$.. BetUS has excellent Tennis games to bet on where the favorites always seem to pull through..

    If you're thinking these short priced favs don't lose matches you are fooling yourself big time.
    I've been betting on tennis for a decade now and I've seen it all happen.
    Essentially no difference between a tennis -500 play and a -500 MLB/NBA play in the long term - both are <83.3% likely to win.

    Not saying I'm going to go undefeated betting these pricey favorites because clearly I won't. I'm bound to lose a big game here or there but the chances of me winnning are very, very high. The risk factor is something I'll worry about, I'm just concerned as to whether or not my sportsbook will fuk wit my account due to my consistent winning and ability to win large amounts in such a short period of time.

    I´d say there´s absolutely no way you will win long term with this strategy. And since the strategy should be quite easy for BetUs to figure out (probably they even monitor threads at this forum where they´re mentioned...) they would be crazy to give you problems...

    As others have pointed out, you will not win consistently (i.e. in the long run) with this strategy, which is why any book should welcome your action with open arms.

    18 straight is wonderful, but it's the exception, not the rule.

    What would happen to your balance if the odds hold true long term and you lost 3 straight...

    Books love squares, and playing -500 or greater ml's is generally a square move

    You are on a lucky run.

    If you are not beating the Pinnacle/Betfair closing Moneyline then you have lucked out and should stop this before you lose everything AND YOU WILL using this strategy.

    If you are taking good lines than continue but I would be careful at BetUS.

    The market is far more efficient in MLB/NBA.

    They're not worried. Come payout day you'll get an email reading "Dear Mr Bossx5000, We're sorry but your payout cannot be processed at this time. After careful review we have determined you are a professional gambler and Betus being a recreational book does not allow this. Unfortunately we have to close down and confiscate all funds in account # ending in xxxx. Have a nice day, sincerely yours, slutty shelly"

    yes, I'd agree on that but I was talking in principle

    it appears to me from what's he's posted to date that the OP isn't being too selective in his choice of plays but simply betting on the shortest priced favourites and the tennis markets he's betting into probably have a good deal more juice in them than MLB and NBA markets

    Lol before I even get back to the heavy priced ML favorites, whats the deal with BetUS?? I thought that was a very reputable sportsbook. I know it's certainly not at the bottom of the bunch, but people have problems with this book?

    Bangthebook.com ranks BetUS as #8 in the top 10 sportsbooks. I just did some background research on them and I see alot of bad shit about this book so fuk knows. All I know is when I make a withdrawal from my account, it better come thru or theres guna be hell to pay for these fukers. I currently got like 3 other books so I'm prolly jus gonna go nd stick with 1 of those. I liked BetUS though because of its wide variety of sports to choose from..

    Besides TheGreek.Com and BetEd.Com, any recommendations on a very reputable sportsbook that is very fast and trustworthy in payouts? I'm registered at both the above books, looking to ditch BetUS and add a 3rd and final book.. but 1 with a good reputation.

    presumably you're in the US so can't use any of the genuine A books ?

    If so then I would think Greek, BetJam and 5Dimes (assuming you haven't worn out your welcome and been limited there) are your best bets.

    I wouldn't know about a couple of the others which seem to get good posts because they won't let me in to try them out because they haven't gotten around to sending me an invitation.

    Appreciate the feedback. Not a big fan of 5Dimes but have not heard of BetJam so I'm actually gonna review that book right after this post. Ehh what do you mean worn out my welcome and been limited though? I'v heard stories of several gamblers who have had their limits decreased because of their ability to beat the book so if thats what you are referring to, thats exactly what I'm trying to avoid in a sportsbook...

    Pretty impressed with what I see regarding BetJamaica Hareeba. I checked out the website, and did a little background research on them real quick and according to what I see, payouts don't seem to be a problem at all whatsoever... I think I'm gonna register, just got to see if they accept *************** for deposit. I hate using debit.

    they'd be as safe as any in that part of the world but I doubt you'll find the same variety of sports on offer (including tennis) as where you're coming from ... 5Dimes would be best on that score I reckon
