Some have criticized the fact that I have gone into many books and later paid the price as in the case of Action Sports and Best Bet Sportsbooks?
And some intelligent replies have answered, "if it seems too good to be true it is."
Well as a fellow who has had a very good year and certainly some of it from "perks", no juice deals or bonuses, how does one know where to draw the line.
A couple of examples: Royal, which I think all agree is one of the most solid books out there, offers -105 juice from Noon to 1:30 p.m. Pacific time every weekday. Does this mean because they offer this is shouldn't play into them.
Also, and this is my favorite example as it totally illustrates my point. Aces Gold offers not only 25% reup bonus (on 20 dime bank wires) but ALSO has NO JUICE on Fridays 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for all of Saturday's basketball card.
Now Aces Gold is one of the strongest books out there and one of my personal favorites, and frankly I have made alot of money by using them (even though they always seem to beat me there).
But if you look at their deal, no one in their right mind would ever play into a book that had a 25% reup bonus AND no juice on certain days.
This is my point. I walk a fine line trying to decide whether the risk is worth the reward. In Aces Gold or Royal's case there is no risk in my mind, only reward as these books are solid as a rock by all accounts.
So I ask the question, what consistutes too much of a bonus or "perk" and how do YOU decide when to accept or decline?
Yes, now that I've gotten burnt I am more cautious now, but I will always welcome the opportunity to partake of some "special" a book offers as an enticement to use them. It's very competitive out there and even rock solid books offer deals some times.
A good case in point was a flyer I got from a "Jazz Sports". As I get alot of these things I just throw them out, but than later I find out that they're owned by Pelican and are on the Don Best feed and I was intending to try them out anyway. Should I not accept the generous bonus they are offering?
I'd like to present this as a point of view that some haven't considered. That everything I do is rated on a risk versus reward ratio, and that many times the reward is so great, its worth the risk.
Yes, even if you get stiffed that one or two times, the reward over repeated implementation of that strategy, far outweighed what it cost you from the money you lost from the one or two "crooks".
