Serious Post.. Why Do Some Keep Enormous Amounts

In their offshore accounts??


To me considering what is going on recently, it really makes sense to keep minimal amounts in ANY sportsbook account located offshores.

I know some books like Pinny charge after the first free withdrawal per month. BUT, dont u think its worth the trouble, small fee and inconvenience to withdraw as much needed.

Good question. Well one point is what is small to you? Small to big bettors might be big to someone else. Also big time Gamblers need money at the books to work and bet. Of course you have a good point and nobody wants to lose any of their money.

I am not a pro.. Ask Pasco.. He claims to be the pro of the syndicate.

BUT

I am not keeping more than 2k in my Pinny account for a week.. Withdrawing once a week now instead of once a month from them..

I have unloaded everything from The Greek, Cris and BODOG.. I can reload there with a bonus later.. Probably for football.

I am utilizing 2,000 a week at Pinny.. My goal at the end of the week is to make around a 500-1000 after 1 entire full week.. When it comes to bases, it is recreational for me.. I have more during football and bb season.

I dont mind paying the fee of $15 per withdrawal through the E-Check process. I think its well worth it..

You have 2k at Pinny and your goal is to make 500 to 1k...there is something a little unrealistic about that. If people could make that % in a week, many would be rich and books out of business.

IN 1 way I feel really bad for all these MVP/BOS members, but I keep thinking WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY KEEPING AMOUNTS THAT are enormous, knowing what has happened in the last month.. Once I saw the House voting, I decided then and there to keep an amount that wouldnt bother me so much if I had to eat it.

No not unrealistic at all.. Athough this week has been the pits for me.. So I know I cant accomplish this this week.

I do it in hoops and football.. I had a really bad college bb season, but in the NBA I was pulling a good 2k a week net..

Just quietly no books name mentioned (they have since corrected to error anyway) they posted a 7.5 point dog in rugby as the -7.5 fav.

Pounded it, they have not refunded, bet stands, about to hedge some later......

Football and hoops are where the sharp bettors make their money so you are right on there.

John.. I can gauge an NBA game really well. I got my nuts stomped in the Det-Miami series.. But before that I had a great NBA season..

Then in the finals, I threw in the towel after game 2...

I always try to meet some realistic goas before the season starts.

ALSO

I dont BS like some folks here.. I think record keeping and accuracy are important.
There are some rotten apples in this forum and some unfortunately lie or exaggerate about all the bets they make or win.

The rotten apples are everywhere with this. You HAVE TO judge and see for yourself. NBA is great for some people. I concentrate on college and barely look at the NBA in full season. Congrats on the NBA season...
