How much of your bankroll would you risk on a new sportsbook?

TheOldBallgame · May 15, 2003

I would post up no more than 5% at a new place. In relation, I don't have more than 20% anywhere else either, the 20% being at Pinnacle because of their lower lines which makes them the most frequent place I bet at.

5/20 is good advice.

Thanks for posting & welcome to The Rx.

Damian, you count my man, you just dont post very often, why is that?......Or are you under another I.D. also?

Zero.
The risk is to great when there are other options out there. If the book turns out to be good, then fine, what have a lost by waiting? A bonus, wh0 cares (my $80 bonis at PTS cost me $900). An opportunity for slightly unique lines, I'll catch them next time.

I may be an idiot, but I learning. Fool me once shame on you (ok shame on me for not heading the warnings), fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 3x, call me old friend.

5 by 5

I think that trying a brand new book is senseless too. But books will be tried, so 5% is a healthy suggestion atleast. Players will always try new books, either for they do not know better or they are shopping for a break.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I wouldnt put a penny into a new sportsbook until they were established and considered legit, which is where the rest of you suckers come in to test it before I do!........

Just joking!.......

I suppose I could risk 5% on a new book, but really... how much of a bonus would I get for a $5 deposit?

acw · May 15, 2003

If it is a book that does not appear that solid to me, I will never deposit more than U$1000. I will then try to build my balance (maybe through multiple deposits after a loss) up to some US$5000, then I ask for a payout.

AND THEN THE FUN STARTS!

i wouldnt play at a new book right now because theres way too many things going on right now in the offshore gamming world.

stick with your blue chippers

Be careful and do your research before joining a new book, there are many reputable books that have earned your business by having a history of paying people and paying their bills!

Senor Ballgame. The most important part is how large you let the balance run to befor you can or do request a payout.

Let's say you start with a dime but run it to 5 dimes and then get slow paid - That sucks and the 5 dimes might exceed your 5% rule.

New books are risky, but remember every book was new at one time! If a book is starting up now, in baseball season then they are asking for trouble! Most books stay open during baseball for their loyal customers! Starting during bases is stupid!
