Back to The Books
I took a few days off from sports betting. I don't know why, as it has been consistently profitable for me to chase the books. And lately I have been doing very well in busting out bonuses from one book to another without having to complete the wagering requirement. Thus my earn rate has been higher than normal as I can proceed from one bonus to the next in short order.
I spent the 'off' time playing a bit of poker, researching a few new poker sites, and working on my website. It is somewhat time consuming to research a book, its bonus terms and then deposit and hunt for lines, and it just sort of fell by the wayside. Probably because I have to wait until the evening to do it, and by then most of the games have been played for the day, so there's smaller chance to hunt up some good arbs.
But I made the plunge last night. I researched Linesmaker and found that they are part of the Sportingbet Group (who also owns Paradise Poker). They don't have a great reputation on many forums, but I get the sense its because they have a very low toleration for sharps and steam players, and have stiffed a few Polish players as well. I am taking a bit of a risk playing them, but I think it's probably worth it. At least, I hope so!
After depositing $1K for a $200 bonus, I was able to find 3 lines right away that appealed to me. I was able to get all my money in on 3 bets, and two of them have already busted. The third is on the Clippers / Nuggets game Saturday night, so I'll have to wait until Sunday morning to see if it was a clean sweep. That would be swell! (Go Clippers!)
