Reducing Vigorish and Scalping

In Response To: Question to Kim Lee from a novice?? (big nguyen)

Send $100 to Carib and Millenium and get a 10% signing bonus. Give them my account numbers and I'll split my 10% referral bonus with you.

Then on Tuesday watch the Don Best screen until Carib is at 6.5 when most books are at 7. Bet everything at Carib on the favorite during their -102 special. Then wait until Friday when the favorite has probably risen to a solid 7 or more. Bet everything at Millenium on the underdog with a free half point +7.5 -110.

You might lose $2 vigorish at Carib or $10 at Millenium. The bonuses will cover it. You even have a roughly 5% chance of "siding" or "middling" if the game lands on 7. You can search other opportunities from the web or local bookmakers. If you are really patient you could play picks only when your bonuses and free half points eliminate all the vigorish.

Of course maybe the favorite loses a quarterback on Thursday and the line falls to 5. Now the half point isn't worth the vigorish and you need to decide whether to hedge. Even if you do hedge you could lose both bets when the favorite wins by 6. To avoid the risk you can use only books with slow lines (not Carib or Millenium). But then one might go out of business and screw you. So you subscribe to Don Best's expensive real-time lines to bet within seconds. Carib kicks you out for steam play, and now you have an expensive line service without benefits. Most likely you make a couple bucks on bonuses and spend it on bank fees for certified checks. But it keeps you busy and stops you from betting bad picks from expensive touts. Next season you can open up 10 accounts and use your profits to pay interest expense.
