Betting on Sports

big game on wednesday against the bucks, finally get them at home

think I’m gonna hit something and do ok no matter what, I got crazy bets on them everywhere. as long as they stay here or improve I’m pretty good. 4/5 is okay, 1/2 seed with a div title is raining $

I don’t bet a lot in sports and my ROI ended up stupid last year thanks to the wind game, would like a repeat year that’s for sure

I went to NY this weekend to take advantage of the launch promos. Hit CZR, MGM, and BetRivers. Net just over $4300 of risk free profit. Pretty decent day. Louisiana seems to be the next state to launch but I think the books may nerf the promos soon.

I already told the wife we are flying to newO if this is happening again. She was cool with driving to NY for 3300 each

Yea I’m likely flying there as well if its the same promos. CZR changed the NY promo a few days ago to just $1500 in freebets I think. If they do that for LA then it’s not going to be worth the effort.

You’re allowed to do the new user promos on the same book in multiple states?

CZR, MGM, BetRivers, and maybe some others are separate account for every state. FD and DK are the same account so you can’t double dip.

Wow that’s wild! Seriously makes traveling to states just to open a sportsbook account +EV

Yea people were flying to NY to do it. I drove up and stayed 2 nights. Was well worth the trip. I’d have to imagine the books will stop this loophole though. CZR can’t just give out $3300 to everybody 50 times.

how does this happen without an address in the state lmao

BetMGM has been up and running in NY for 1 week and they have already offered me a 2nd deposit bonus lol.

I think it’s great that they all have these sign up bonuses where the right strategy is to make your first couple of bets longshots of 1000+ and then they profile you as some kind of whale. You made me do that!

Wife and I drove from Detroit metro area to NY. 10 miles from the PA border. Stopped around 12:30p on Saturday. She bet on like every NCAAB game for 50 and I bet on other stuff. Then we went to Niagara Falls for the night

Just need to be physically located in the state to bet. Can sign up and deposit from out of state, go to NY to place the bets, go home and cash out.

I did NY CZR over the weekend too but all my bets cashed on there and now I have 10k tied up in their seemingly long af withdrawal process.

Feel like an idiot for missing out on CZR free $3.3K or whatever it was. Granted, the initial terms said it would be available until Jan 31. Going to hold tight to see if they roll out anything lucrative for Super Bowl.

Got a 1099-K from PayPal which was an absurd amount due to the number of sportsbook transactions run through PayPal. Reading online, it seems like this is just informational, and I’ll likely be good just filing my gambling winnings, but any of you have experience with this or in a similar position?

Can you give us a range of what your 1099 was

DK has a promo of placing SGP’s at just $10

I tried one at +310

allowed max bet $3

I’m not up much on your site guys ffs

lmao I put $5 in some stupid odds booster just to see if it would throttle that too

max bet allowed 2.5

rip me on draftkings

seriously what jerks, now Cavs have to get there or I’m throttled with not a lot to show for it

not even 5 figures man :frowning:

if I was raking you all then I’d get it

High five figures. My actual profit from 2021 was around 20k.

One change I’m making is not using PayPal for withdrawals anymore, and using bank transfers instead.

Do you have any guess as to why you got limited on DK? They don’t seem to be one of the sites that is quick to limit people.

Are you using their site to arb? I’m up like 30K on DK although most of that is casino bonuses, and I can still hammer their sportsbook. It’s possible they can sniff out arb behavior and throttle you even if you aren’t a huge winner.

I went through a phase last fall when I was winning a ton at their sportsbook where they started sending a lot of my wagers for review. It felt like maybe that was the first step towards a throttling but eventually they stopped.
