Professional Sportsbetting

[mickeycrimm]

I could see, maybe 20 or 30 years from now, when sports betting is in every state, some virgin bettor setting up shop in two or three states, using the bonuses and promos for a year or two until dry, then pulling up stakes and setting up shop in two or three other states, then doing it in perpetuity -- that person might be able to claim to be a "winning professional sports bettor" without knowing what they're doing, but we're aways from that.

Are we aways from that? How many states have sports betting now? And that isn't really even necessary now with the explosion of online sports books. Add in multiple accounts from friends and family members (sort of the online sportsbook version of the ever-popular multi-carding) and there are endless opportunities for someone who wants to do that. And they never have to leave home.

No, for most you have to be in-state to bet. You could set up people in multiple states (kind of how we tried to recruit Egyptians and Brits so we could use Pinnacle -- LOL -- didn't work out) and go from there. But the promos and parlay boosts are gimmicks. They won't sustain. And your accounts will be cross-referenced and data-mined. You have no control over what account info is shared with whom.

You're not going to be able to hide what you're doing. Then you'll be shut down.

"What are you going to do when the bonus whore money runs out and you can't win anymore?" said the grizzled old handicapper.

"Who gives a fuck. I'm just taking the bonus whore money while it lasts" said the AP.
