It's really the same kind of deal as regards Fezzik and the parlay card angles -- everybody who was anybody was doing it (even before I got there in '82, in fact). It's hideously obvious.

I'll do the video after I return from Las Vegas. I'll hire a professional. I need a good spot to shoot it. I do have an idea, but it may require guerrilla filming.
So how much experience do you have working casino promotions? You should at least list your experience before you go advising how to do it. Quit being chickenshit and answer some questions.

Do I think "APs" should go recruiting family and friends and then put up the bankroll and keep the lion's share of profits from sports betting sign-up bonuses?

No, I do not. It's crass, selfish, short-sighted, and smacks of desperation. Anybody can do the sports betting bonus exploitation after an hour of explanation. Why someone wouldn't simply tell their family and friends how to do it, and if necessary loan them the bankroll to do it, is beyond me.

This isn't some complex machine play or likely-to-expire-next-week promo. These sports betting promos can be exploited by anyone with an IQ over 40, and they are going to exist next season, next year, and probably next decade. Just tell your family and friends how to do it. That's why most people call them "family and friends." Because "family and friends" help each other out as we make our way through the world.

One guy bragged on making 28K exploiting the bonuses while using the names of family and friends and -- get this -- tipped them 2K. LOL. If anything, reverse it. Maybe family and friends tip the AP the 2K for showing the way. Don't exploit family and friends with some schtick about sports betting bonuses requiring some AP expertise. Anybody with a working brain, who can order off a McDonald's menu, can exploit the sports betting bonuses.
Redietz doesn't understand the human philosophy involved in asking family members if they're OK with their names etc. being used to make money from the at times very lucrative sports betting bonuses, because he has no family--and he comes up with these weird scenarios that only a mother could love....if in fact he ever really had one of them! Martian genealogy study is more adequately aligned with Elon Musk.

But here's a teachable moment for red: when I asked my children and their spouses if they'd have any issues with what I wanted to do, none of them had a problem with it. Was it because of some tip? No--they neither asked for or expected a cut. What they DID say was they trusted me, likely because of how generous I've been with them before due to my gambling successes. I doled out $2k each just because I don't feel comfortable not sharing a little something that none of them expected from my using their info for gambling.

As for it being "cheap" when I pocketed $20k from the effort--that's hardly the word they'd use. Especially after what they've all received from me in the past (that the squad can't handle).
