    Does Anyone Play At More Than 1 or 2 Books Anymore??

    I seem to fund one and wait till I go broke and cash out and then try another one.

    No reason to scatter much money around anymore and with wild bitcoin swings could be costly

    Lines basically all the same now unless your a specialty bettor

    I have 3. Lines differ as far as the juice on point spreads and they can differ by a half a point in spreads in football. 5Dimes and Betonline still offer the best baseball numbers, DSi will compete when football hits.

    No I'm not betting 10k a bet so no point in line shopping. Waste of time unless one is approaching 100 bets or more a week

    This is comical, guys would rather use offshore accounts than just pay or get paid every week via paypal. No interest or fee, tip at ur discretion. It's that easy but let's go and over complicate things and waste time

    Probably ignorant of me to assume everyone has a setup similar but there has to be others here that use locals and understand the simplicity of it

    Have accounts at 5D, Heritage,bookmaker,bet phoe, and SBG global .....but use 5D 90% Of the time.Over the years,I have found out,using more than 2 books is inefficient ! Missing prices and too much time....but then again that is just how I see it.

    A dozen books for me... Spreading out the wagering allows you to not be cut off over time on any one book.. Lines do vary between books to your advantage, props especially..... Also when all books are full of money you can cash out on all of them at once and you really don't worry about being cut off on one book and never getting paid period.. Money starts pouring in from everywhere and that's a great feeling..

    If you go bust on all books then that's the worst.. You then have to fund and re-up on all the books and that costs money.. I'd say only sign on to 10 or more books if you are a winning gambler and you know it... If not a winning gambler then just stick to one book, you'll never get cut off if you are losing on a consistent bases...

    I will probably join a few more by the end of the year.. Next time I cash out I will...

    With bitcoin, so easy to switch between sportsbooks. No reason to keep money in any sports book, follow the bonuses.

    anyone knows you gotta have more than 1 line unless you're only betting small amounts or just don't give a shit. Next time you lose a game by a half point you'll realize this. I use about 4-5 books myself

    I would much rather bet offshore than use a local now that bitcoin has been developed and has separated the men from the boys offshore. The first month of the season lines will move 4-8 points from the opener - if you are not in vegas and you don't use an offshore book that has early openers like bet online you will be betting shitty lines the entire first month of the season. And paypal blows - you can't even transfer more than 5k in short amount of times.

    I've only lost more than 5k in a week a handful of times. PayPal not the only way to move money, it's just the most convenient. Hated physically walking in the banks to withdraw or move money bc of getting bent over chasing

    Dude, bitcoin has been widely used by most sportsbooks for nearly a year - it takes me 2 days to transfer from a sportsbook to a bitcoin wallet and then to my bank account. Who the fuckk is walking into banks any more to make deposits or withdrawals.

    Bitcoin makes depositing 500 to 1k at smaller but reputable bonus books like betmania and GT bets worthwhile - you can use these accounts to bet without the juice and still bet a couple hundred dollars a game. They will kick you out quickly if you win - but you will still get paid.

    I grind out bonuses through 2 main payout books, Heritage and 5d. I'm currently getting bonuses at 7 others but try to stick to 2 or 3 funded at any one time.

    Impossible I tried it, I can hammer out live betting on two books at most maybe if I'm quick and have the windows open and ready to refresh and go....

    I only live bet on 5dimes for MMA.. For all other sports mostly just Bookmaker and Bovada.. Betonline and Heritage, and Mybookie on rare occasions as well..

    If anyone has experience with live betting and best odds, book speed please share, chances are I'm on that book???

    If I was a good enough programmer Id know how to make a simple program thats linked to all my accounts, when I make one bet it bets at every book I want according to that specific bet, Im sure thats simple actually for a good programmer, but I hated coding and never understood why I had to take it.
