Anyone try to lose at one book and win at another

Iceman · May 22, 2008

I want to lose at one book for a few diferent reasons (long w/d methods and would like to "fly under the radar" there for a little longer). I think one more w/d and I am gone from a book I like.

Has anyone did this before? I assume betting high ML dogs would be the smartest way to go about this but finding numbers that scalp out isnt easy.

Might just do a all or nothing bet there (have about 2k there) and maybe 2k on the other side at another book but knowing my luck I would win at the wrong book. Seems like in the long run this is the smartest way to go as trying lose it slowly isnt easy and would be more likely expensive.

yes i do it all the time, either to meet rollovers or other reasons. All or nothing is the way to go but like you said if you lose you're screwed. Its a little tougher with bases but depends on how quick they move their lines. I've been able to reduce balances at a couple of sportsbook clones with equal matches at bet jam and matchbook

what is about the highest you will bet on a side doing this? Just curious.

No more than 2k

I assume you will get paid if you win at this book, it will just take awhile.

Do it all at once, if they will take a 2k bet, and you can easily cover it elsewhere. Maybe leave a few hundred behind, if that is what you want left there.

I'd look to a baseball dog at the iffy book, and the fav at Matchbook, on the ML.

Be prepared to lose some vig.
