The Value of Higher Limits
The value of chasing a book with higher betting limits is becoming abundantly clear as I enter my fifth week of not busting out of a single book. Quite simply when fewer bets are required, bustouts become more likely. If I can get the whole thing in on one bet, that would be optimal. If I can get the whole thing in on a dog, that would be the penultimate. Of course, then I'd need a book with an even larger limit to be able to bet against that bet on a dog.
I rolled over at Bodog again last night, splitting my bets there 1-1. My $900 deposit is now looking like $1650 or so. About 75% of the WR met. That's the one place I don't mind rolling over. I have a slight grudge against Bodog because they have twice refused to affiliate me. I also have had crap luck against their blackjack dealer, so having them pay off my sports betting tab never bothers me.
I decided to give up on trying to wager out my Bodog chase with BetJamaica. The lines were just too scarce. I re-entered Pinney last night, and gott all my money in right away. Not even a challenge. I requested a cashout from Betjamaica, and it was in my account in under an hour. I was pretty pleased with that. Can't ask for much more.
After a good discussion in the forum on the risks of betting on MLB sides for "action", I screwed up again yesterday and took an action bet at Bodog. I realized it right after I hit "enter". Fortunately no harm was done, but that's going to cost me money one of these days. Bodog defaults to "action" and if yo only want to bet if the listed pitchers start, then you have to stiipulate before you bet. I forgot to do this, and ended up betting the game "listed". I'll slow down and pay more attention in the future.
