    Bet365

    I started to like bet365. And they do pay on time from hours to a day. Of the sports books - Pinny, bet365, BM - I do like B365, though their odds are not great. So far I made $20k on MLB betting. What you guys think about bet365? They will limit me if I have $50k winnings? Thanks!

    bhoor, props on your winnings. Be smart, take it easy.

    A few things about Bet365:
    1) Pay attention to the juice. Are you always getting the best odds?

    2) Bet365 is amazing for the action-junkie. Look at all the sports they offer. Pretty amazing.

    3) I used to joke. Bet365 has so many offerings. You make a deposit at 6am Friday morning. Go on a 72-hour bender. You're tapped out by Sunday @ midnite.

    "The Sun never sets on the B365 world empire."

    Chucky, thanks for your input. I am not an action junky. When the # I see, I really go for it.

    Then I'd say that it's like any book. If you win too much, they might limit you.

    Ask around. Maybe Opti knows, or someone else who has played at B365. Not sure they take Americans.

    When I bet now, it takes few minutes to appear. Previously, my bets will show right away.

    It's hard to tell with them.

    I thought they were a lot more winner friendly these days but when I said that got replies from several people who had been limited fast and/or to low levels. I have heard from more than a couple of people up 100k or more and still not heavily limited as well.

    It's probably based on what and how you bet as much as how much you win.

    There was a list of metrics they use "leaked" 10 or 15 years ago. If that was real there over 100 factors considered back then, so could be a lot more by now.

    bhoor, I'm curious. What markets have you had the most success on?

    I'm very particular on this. In my experience, the most popular markets = sharpest lines.

    *NFL: It's fun to bet. But WOW, the #s are sharp. Hard to find much of an edge.

    *MLB: There are so many baseball stats. Can't imagine baseball lines are too far off.

    *NBA: Mostly sharp. I have my own opinion on Player reviews. So, maybe a window to an edge.

    *More obscure the betting mkt, better chance to identify off-lines. My best success has been on smaller markets like CFL, Womens Coll Bask, International Basketball. Markets that not too many people are following closely.

    Chucky, I'm not a professional sports better to understand all the details of betting numbers. And I do not watch any games on TV. What the edge I have is finding patterns comparing with Teams' gematria #s. And it works 9 out 10 times. Since MLB has 162 games, you would find tons of games to bet. As for other leagues like NFL, NBA and NHL, you have opportunities not like MLB. Let's say, if I bet $1000 per game, I would had made $150k. I started with small bankroll. My finding is that sports knowledge alone won't help you to win bets, in fact, you may become losing better. Cheers!

    For example, I would use 'Rays' with closing odds with opponents closing odds and its team gematria #.

    If it works anywhere close to 9 out of 10 times it would be interesting to see your calcs as you bet for a bit.

    I am sure some people will laugh at you for the idea, but if you can take that I would be interested to see how it works for a bit.

    Personally I think up to the moment metrics is an area math cappers can greatly benefit from. And the only "easy" way to do that is using unusual metrics.

    Props, bhoor. Best wishes.

    I'll be honest. I had to look up the meaning of GEMATRIA.

    That tells me you're doing some sort of coding. Effectively, you are handicapping. In the sense that you're generating a projection and comparing it to the market line.

    I'm a big believer that the BEST mlb bettor is more advanced than the market. Yes, a lot of stats to digest. The MLB stats are so much more advanced than 20 years ago.

    Chucky, sports books will eat you alive if you do not have your edge. I'm not looking for any spot-light here.

    That's good stuff, bhoor. Read some of my commentaries. They very much mirror your statements.

    I've been preaching Contrarian logic for a few years. I think the State sports-betting added fuel to this idea that one could read a few articles and then start churning profits. Au contraire.

    Any edge that I'm shooting for normally plays against the Public bias. The Sports-talk radio shows are AWFUL. Except for the fact that they sometimes provides some nice Fades.

    good thing about them is they will.never confiscate funds. If you have family friends that will allow you to use ID you can make multiple accounts sure they eventually will all be limited but u can get some extra bets in before they do. Back in the day I would have 6-7 accounts going at a time and only betting on the smaller ITF tournies... Never got funds confiscated only accounts limited.

    You should look into rollbit or tg.casino if you main focus is MLB live betting. I usually find odds are about the same or better the bet365 and u can get down much bigger amounts.

    Years ago(2010-13 in particular) I dreamed of having a Bet365 account. The amount of soccer action they had was unmatched. Loved the commercials too. Love the green layout as well! Last I saw they are not available to us Tennessee Folk, so I still don't have my Bet365 account, oh well still got plenty other betting accounts.

    Bet365 portal is actually nice, you can watch the games, too.
