the Bucks -1.5 over the Heat tonight looks like to me like a great bet
better yet the Bucks at -125 and give up just 12% of the profit compared to the spread - so something ugly doesn't happen
the Heat have a losing record on the road while the Bucks are 24-5 at home
the Bucks have won 12 in a row - no guarantees of course

when the legal sports book opened in Mass. i opened up an account online the week of the superbowl.. i bet the winner in person at the casino. then i proceeded to bet online. after 2 days my bets were limited from $500 all the way down to $2.00 for online betting, i was still allowed to go to the casino and able to walk up to the window and bet a game as long as they chose to accept it.

so i decided to open up an account at a sports exchange. in order to open the account i had to deposit the money in crypto currency. to get the crypto i had to open up an account with an exchange, i went to Coinbase. they charge 1 1/2% to do the transaction.

so i started to post bets on the site. i might post up 5 or 6 games daily. as it turns out every game that got matched i lost my money on. the others all either won or tied, i might have had 3 times the amount of winners than losers, but i never got a bet on the winners. after 10 days i was out $8000 trying to beat these games because i thought it was easy. i had to pay 1% pn the games that won, i never had a winner! the remainder of my money i took out of there and sent it back to Coinbase, paying another 1 1/2%. for what ever reason i forgot i had all that money in Coinbase. today i got a statement from Coinbase that my account has almost increased 50%. i overcame the money i lost and made to the deal, i transfered the Coinbase money into my bank account this morning!

i think i am going to bet $5 or $10 a game with the site, and then bet against my games that get matched with a bookmaker.

I believe with all the competition for the gambler's sports betting $$$ it's pretty easy to win by opening multiple accounts and getting all of those promos, bonuses, and boosts

and playing one book against the other on match bets and also arbitrage

but only for small $$$ I think - they're not going to let anybody beat them for big bucks using promos

and then there is the limiting thing which really sucks big time

when i signed up with Bet Openly, i thought i was going to take down all the money in sports with the 1% juice. i learned fast that other people have the same idea as myself and they are on the site 24 hours a day and a lot faster to the draw than myself. what i am going to try is put up my plays for short money, then bet against my plays that get matched, and maybe go with the plays that don't get matched. but i am going to be up against big juice or bad points, so i am going to paper trade most of it except for the smaller bets and see how it goes. i doubt i can win at this no matter what i do.

i bet sports a long time ago and took down the money, today i think its impossible.
