"Keep in mind that we are a book for recreational players. Recreational players are welcome to play and win and cash out as much as they want. However, we are not interested in bonusing professional gamblers.

Being a professional gambler has nothing to do with winning or losing. It has to do with what you are playing. If you are playing all line moves and stale lines in obscure sports with week lines, we will pay you but not bonus your transactions.

I get that being from Vegas does make you a pro gambler. But most of our professional gamblers come in from Vegas and they generally come in for a couple to a few thousand dollars and always in crypto. So when I see those 3 things I like to be upfront."
That's fascinating. I play a lot of partial game bets -- 1st half, 1st period, 1st quarter.

My residence address is not in Vegas. I can understand the suspicion of Vegas residents, but I would have thought most sports pros are residing in wide-open legal states rather than Nevada.

I do use crypto because what else can you do? But if it helps, I hate it. This was my last withdrawal:

On podcasts, they always talk about pros having good CLV - closing line value. But I've never tried to gauge my own CLV.
Hey, I feel your pain. I don't convert to cash that often, but it kinda sucks when I make large deposits into online casinos and suddenly BTC goes way up then when I cash out it goes down. Confirmation bias of course as I dont really notice when the opposite is happening. Nowadays I do not even think about it as it is what it is.

Use Thether when possible if you don't want the fluctuation.
