@MaxRhino Bovada seems like a good suggestion. I would have said 5Dimes if it wasn't for reliability issues (sometimes lag and sometimes downtime).

Does any non-americans take advantage of the bookmaker and ****** bonuses? I know many just play at pinnacle but how does one take advantage of their bonuses if bookmaker/****** doesn't allow moneybooker as a deposit/withdraw option if they want a huge bonus? For example you could deposit 10k and get a 2500 bonus with 5x rollover but how does even a nonamerican do this if moneybooker isn't an option? What other options are there?

anyone know if bitbook.biz offers lines on college football? I see lines for the NFL, but not NCAA

edit by PropPlayer: They responded saying yes, with a post that looked otherwise spammy and was deleted.

Main concerns are accessibility, usability, and some reasonable expectation of being able to cash out if I ever bink.
Bovada has sort of a bad reputation but Ive been paid every cent I ever won there. The checks might take a couple weeks and theyll bounce now and then, but for as good as their lines are, they're more than worth it.

I mean how does a non-usa sports bettor take advantage of these bonuses if they cannot use moneybooker/neteller as an option. Yes i know they are using non usa banks but if one person wants to keep depositing every week just to get the bonuses, how does one do so without those e-wallets.

I'm an affiliate with them and have plenty of non-US players getting bonuses.

Bookmaker will often allow those eligible to use NETELLER and still get the bonus. For BetCRIS even more true. There are several other deposit options too. Also some allow credit card deposits and if need be WU and MG can be used all over. So not sure what's the problem or need for the question.

I'm an American, but am in Canada. Want to bet football & basketball point spread, over/under, moneyline (mainly NCAA, some pro). Don't want sites that won't post a line until right before gametime or don't take action on obscure Sunbelt/MAC games. Only looking to deposit $1000 or so right now. Have both CAD & USD bank accounts at a Canadian bank.

Going to open a Pinnacle account and going to take advantage of the first deposit bonus at Bet365. Where else should I be looking?

Thanks

I know BCP, ACR and True Poker are on the winning poker network. I know 5dimes is on the winning network and so is bookmaker for poker. As many of you know, 5dimes sportsbook has reduced juice in their sportsbook and the only way to view their lines is by logging into your account. Thus if you don't have a 5dimes account, you can't view the lines at all.


I didn't know BCP, ACR and True Poker had a sportsbook, i had thought it was just a poker room. I would like to know for those of you who have accounts there, does the sportsbook lines look exactly like 5dimes? Does it have reduced juice? Or are the odds/lines the same as 5dimes except for the reduced juice. Or does it not have all the sports to wager on such as 5dimes.

@CrestFox - the winning poker network is owned by Bookmaker which brands include BetCRIS, TruePoker, and America's CardRoom. They also are partners with and back ****** and JustBet where software is the same and lines are very similar. These are full juice. There are differences between them. ACR has lesser parlay odds. DSI and Bookmaker have slight differences in odds etc.

5Dimes is completely different. Software is not the same, bets offered are not the same, and odds are not similar.

@BigPoppa - 5Dimes as a 3rd.

Then I suggest after Bet365 is cleared make the rounds with other bonuses.

Is American Football good for Sports Arbitrage?

I mean do many Sportsbooks have conflicting rules creating possible open bets?

Is American Football money line safe for arbitrage (because of the draw possibility)?

Any other suggestion of safe sports line for arbitrage would be greatly appreciated.

Under Current overtime rules, draws are very very very uncommon.

lol at the mention of the **** bitcoin book 'bitbook' - anyone seriously betting with bitcoins uses btcsportsmatch: true vig-free, 1% fee on won amounts only. Been playing there over a year now, there are some other 2+2 guys on there too.

I thought so but wasn't certain.

I also think NHL, NBA, WNBA are pretty safe for arbing.

Tennis offers some good arbs but you gotta have a list for the site's rules to avoid open bets.

Boxing, MMA and Soccer have obvious draws so it's not that good for arbing.

I don't arb that often but when there's a good occasion I'll do it.

Does anyone know what are bovada current limits for nfl props? They have a whole section on it such as receiving yards and a whole bunch of nfl props.


Do certain accounts have a lower limit than others?

Those season long player props with 30-cent lines, most have a limit of to win $100 (ex: $115 to win $100) for a fresh non-limited account. I'm not sure if Bovada has personal limits but the Canadian Bodog does, so probably.

Yes i mean those 30 cent lines with mostly -115 for each prop. Hmmm why is the prop limit that low? I mean its for a season long bet so shouldn't it be at least 250?

Also which book does not charge a premium or allows you to bet wong teasers?


5dimes and pinnacle does this where you cannot get +2.5 and tease it up to +8.5 and they make the line +1 instead.


The only book that i researched that allows this is youwager. I think bovada is the other one?

+1
Coinbase for bitcoins, deposit on this site is the nuts for US players for NFL sides and other major sports.
