Betting 2 different teams on the same site for a profit is an easy way to get banned from that sportsbook.

True true. Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't mean to imply that to be a practice... was more of mumbling in how you "HAVE to scalp via different books" since it's already very rare to see one book offering drastic line changes.

or, you can do what i did which is wager as follows:
$1250 ($1000 deposit + $250 freeplay)on Tex at BOS
$1780.50 on NYY at pinny

if texas wins, i only win $32 and have to do 3x rollover before i can withdraw.
if yankees win, i win $290.

here, the worst that can happen is i make $32 and i have to burn thru 3x wager requirement. but if the favorite wins, i win $290 and i can go back tomorrow to BOS and get the same reload. so go yankshere, the worst that can happen is i make $32 and i have to burn thru 3x wager requirement. but if the favorite wins, i win $290 and i can go back tomorrow to BOS and get the same reload. so go yanks

Thanks for taking the time to share your arb thinking & explaining how you applied it to today's arb opportunity. This was explained clear as crystal. Just looked at BOS's site.. 20% reload bonuses with 3x rollover as you said, no matter which day or whether if u already have a balance in account?? Nice. Sooner than later, I gotta hit up more bonuses at more books, mainly for better line shopping for my normal picks anyway. Thanks again!
