BETTING WITH MORE THAN ONE SPORTSBOOK!
Here are six reasons why you MUST have more than one
sportsbook account:
Value
- You need to shop multiple books to find the line you
need, and the only way you can do that is to have accounts
open with various sportsbooks. Having more than one 'out'
helps to improve the chances of finding variances in a
particular line.
Diversification
- Just as in the investment world, you need to diversify
and not put all your eggs in one basket. In the past few
years, various sportsbooks have gone under, and taken many
a gamblers' money with them.
Bonuses
- Every sportsbook offers various types of bonuses,
depending on the type of gambler they are looking to
attract. All sportsbooks offer the same signup bonuses,
with the focus on the initial deposit varying from 10% -
20%. Others have great deposit bonuses
during key times throughout the year.
Product Variety
- Some books specialize in providing a type of bet on
various sports or sporting events, depending on the
strength of the software and the expertise of that
sportsbook's bookmaker. Again, you need to shop around and
find out what sportsbooks offer what type of bets on what
sports, and the type of lines they run (especially for
hockey and baseball).
Phone vs Internet - Some sportsbooks are better at
running its business over the phone, while others that
have very good software, and loads of servers do a better
job taking bets via the Internet. However, the Internet
focused books usually have lower limits in place than
those taking bets by phone. Again, you need to find out
whether or not the limits in place by a specific
sportsbook fits your money management system.
Cut Down on Account Limits or Closures - You can do
this by setting up accounts with multiple sportsbooks.
When you want to play a bet of $5,000 for example, you
might want to play $1,000 at five different books. This
helps to keep a low profile for yourself, as all
sportsbooks have key indicators that throw up red flags
for weeding out "wise guys" or "sharpies." When that
happens, you get the "VIP" treatment by having your limits
reduced, access to certain sports limited, or simply
having your account closed. But by winning at multiple
books, you can more easily stay under the radar.
