i dont want anymore bonus money.

i dont want to have to roll my deposit + bonus 5 or 7 times .

i am just going to deposit , decline any bonus , win and withdrawl whenever i want..

$ 1500 deposit
30 % bonus
7 time rollover

$ 13650.00 in action before taking a withdrawl .

not for me anymore..

biggest reason is that i might put 500 bucks a week into play at any given place. thats 27 weeks of playing before i can get my hands on any money .

i know some have a different opinion but i think i'm done with bonuses.

Not at all, brother. I am with you, totally. I may try betmaker's 100% bonus up to $100, but little incentives like that are it for me. I love the top shelf books, and love being able to make a bet and cash out whenever I want. Collecting bonuses and then having the headache of rollover just inhibits succes in wagering. You make bets that you shouldn't, and you always feel the need to wager, as it hangs over your head. BTW, you wanna meet me in Vegas next Friday for U2?

i guess picking up 10 or 20 % and having possibly a 1 , 2 or 3 time rollover would be tolerable.

but i wouldnt send more than 500 bucks and just try and pick up some little bonuses ..

no more 5 , 6 or 7 time rollovers .. thats rediculous..

bodog , who i'm not a big fan of had a good deal when i first signed up.

15 % and a 1 time roll .. it may have been 10 % .. been awhile .

I love bonuses. I take em' at shops that offer good lines then only wager at each place if they have the best line while I'm line shopping. Its free money. Unless you are quiting gambling altogether a roll over means nothing.

I love bonuses, but I'm Really strong on how to maximize bonuses ! Few are better than me at this angle ! I learned this stuff from the best... Dr. Sean at Wong's site !

when you are going to deposit money anyway and play a ton of games anyway, if you don't use the bonuses you are making a big mistake.

If you need the cash in an instant then maybe the bonuses arent for you. but if the money would just be sitting in a bank account anyway, i dont see the problem with getting as many bonuses as possible.

I certainly dont think players should just play for a bonus.

If quality books like Olympic, WWTS, Hollywood, WSEX, etc. offer a bonus and you have the money available you should take advantage of it. But you have to have the bankroll. I don't mind having my money sit offshore to earn 10-20% per year, it's more than the stock market makes these days. To top it off I may make 50% on my money at the books too. You have to have a nice bankroll so you aren't sweating seeing the money every time you have a winning week. But the bonuses help make up for a losing streak. I am going to bet lots of money anyway, and the rollover is too easy to make, so might as well take the free money.
Most of my bets are with Pinnacle and the reduced juice, but they suck for teasers and you can often find better lines on bets at other shops by shopping around. I look at the bonus and then I get extra value from having multiple solid shops to shop at which even adds more value to the overall portfolio.

Bonuses are easy to roll through, if done right ! Bet both sides 100% in particular with MLB and Pinny/ Mansion as the takeback.You make bets you wouldn't make normally, but you roll right through it, or transfer the money +bonus to Pinny, Grande, etc. in one or two bets, then you're done with the shop offering bonus, or rolled over partially. Bonus play is an art, as is properly using matchplay !
