Bonus clearing question (stupid)

[HinesWard86]

These minor inconveniences are worth the extra effort you have to put into these books. Many of these books offer ridiculous bonuses, 100% fps, 25% cash bonuses, etc. If you know what you're doing, not that hard to deal with this stuff.

True, but maybe a Limit could be put in place.

Nothing more than -110 and nothing higher than +120
Would it make that much of a Difference ?

I could see the point with +200, +250, etc

In that scenario then, you would basically fuck your customers who wanted to bet MLB/NHL sides/run lines. The vast majority of those are outside the -110/+120 mark.

No. It's the money put into play.

You wagered it, you bet it that counts towards the rollover.

welcome to 2009. Money put into play was 2003.

Ok, Point understood.

I myself couldn't do it, after betting Credit for 35 years.
But I guess a great deal for most.

WVU knows what he is talkin about. The best way to satisfy a rollover is to scalp or middle it away. I don't have the time to fool with it much but you can still get 20% cash bonuses and bet it all on a 1' point middle. Thats money even in the gambling 101 course.

Five years ago, 80-90% of the books used the Risk amount when calculating the rollover, whether it was a +500 line or a -500 line.

Nowadays, it's shifted dramatically in the other direction ... probably 1/2 of the books today use the lower of the Risk amount and the Win amount ... and as mentioned earlier, some shops now don't even count bets made on heavy favourites.
