    HedgeHog, many people are negative nancies such as yourself. Some benefit from the motivational speeches, but in your case I would recommend some form of self medication. Cheer up and have a drink on me. Send me a bitcoin address, I'll ship $10 your way.

    Motivational speakers are scammers. People that go to them are weak and prime for fleecing. Have you been attending their seminars for overeaters? And how's that working for you?

    Show me a pro gambler who doesn't overeat.

    That's how I'm convinced Holzhauer was a small time bettor.

    There is 0 correlation for pro gamblers and obesity. If anything pro gamblers would have restraint in both their wagering and dietary regime. This proves to me that you are not a pro gambler. Your local casino may consider you a "whale", but it is not a reflection on your wager size.

    Very good point, especially since he's insulting 95% of posters in the process by calling you fat.

    Hedger: if you had faith in the merits of your argument, you wouldn't be stooping to the lows of attacking the body composition of a poster.

    Be better than that.

    Restraint in one domain doesn't transfer into another. I cannot help myself from a decadent dessert after a good day (and I always have a good day). However I do not seek action for the sake of action and never chase. I also cannot even remember the last time I went to a "local casino". I wear sweat pants all day and rarely leave my pad. Just because you choose to eat lean and earn lean doesn't make your statement true, not to mention you're clearly not a pro. Anyone not pounding BOL right now is a MEGA SQUARE.

    Actually it does, so you're wrong again. Compulsive disorder can lead to excessive gambling, over eating, alcoholism and heightened sexuality. You can be afflicted by one or more of these. Or none of these as this is the internet and you may be looking for sympathy for a condition you don't have.

    I agree; are there any other sites you feel the same about (other than sportsbetting.ag obviously)? I'd appreciate your feedback... I'm trying to find some good bonuses out there. Currently the only other site that I've found to have decent bonuses with good rollovers on a relatively regular basis is Betus.

    Youbetonit has a 107% sign up bonus. Typically limits are based on deposit. I deposited $1000 before the football season and received $500 limits. After 4 payouts my limits have been cut to $250, but they do pay quickly (same or next day by BTC). Good recreational book IMO.

    Pass on bonuses. You go on a hot streak while under bonus and can't touch your monies. Also if you follow true to 1-3% of bankroll per wager, you are in for a very long time to complete bonus ( even if you play out your 'real' bonus money to expand your bankroll.) I could care less about bonuses really, because they suck

    Betonline Freeplay?

    Looks like they are capping the maximum risk on freeplay to $250.

    Max odds remain +125 on hockey.

    They must not have a cap on spread bets then. For money line hockey bets it’s capped at $250.

    I am new to SBR and I can say that I am a big fan and will try to be a big supporter. However(you knew this was coming) I do not see any value in the childish name-calling and ridiculing of other people. Hedge dude was just saying that the value of a proposition was diminished in value. It was a true statement that could be helpful to many people who are trying to learn and improve. That was where things went in the crapper. Yes, some of you have more talent than others and it still represents strong value and there is no obligation to participate but the value of the offer is diminished by the new rules. More importantly, calling people names and then schooling people on the finer points of restraint is a bit of hypocrisy. This forum helps protect us from unscrupulous individuals and if we choose to share information with others. It would be nice if we made the decision to be respectful of each other. If you feel like I am overreaching based on my level of input to this point I respect that. thx for listening.

    Good post. I got caught up retaliating with some ugly comments of my own. Apologies to Deep Pockets and Fishhead. We can disagree w/o being disagreeable.

    In your experience, does front line customer service usually know everything that's going on in the organization? Or do they just try to answer your questions the best they can with the limited knowledge they have?

    My experience is the latter.

    Lol. BOL is a great book in many ways but CS efficiency is not one of them.

    Go ahead and try setting up a hockey bet for $255 using FP. It will give you an error message. Then try $250. Error message will be gone.

    The $250 max on hockey and baseball is in the sportsbetting.ag rules now but not yet on Bol. But yes it's a thing.... And a frustrating one at that.

    In your experience, is it okay to ask questions and get clarification? Obviously I didn't take CS at their word, that's why I was asking. Moron.

    I don't currently have any FP, so can't test it out. But if that's true it's really a shame. I don't know why they keep diminishing the value of their bonuses.

    BOL doesn’t limit anyone on hockey. They take 6k on sides and totals. (Well, with cash they do.)

    He's been around the block a few times. I'm pretty sure he can tell the difference between being limited and not being allowed to bet over $240 on a FP. Huge difference.

    Any guesses why they have been doing this to the FP

    Betonline used to have the best freeplays that could be bet on all sports regardless of ML. Now it has slowly become one of the worst FP around with so many limitations.

    Makes it less fun for sure.

    More bad news with Betonline freeplays new rules were posted a week ago:

    Baseball and Hockey handle will only contribute 50% towards bonus rollover, due to our industry-leading Baseball dime lines and reduced juice on Hockey.
