Re: Size of a scalp needed to be profitable?
[ QUOTE ]
I am a part-time bonus whore with an 11-12K bankroll, and I am looking to break into sportsbook bonuses and scalps as a side opportunity. I found a scalp for an upcoming game at +158 and -155 for the respective sides.
Assuming I can devote 5-6K to scalping ventures, what kind of differential do I need to find in my scalps to make this worth doing?
What kind of proportions would I need to bet on the line mentioned above to lock in max profit?

With 5-6K, you will be making most of your money from bonuses initially. The size of the scalp isn't terribly important as long as it isn't worse than -2c or so (you don't want it to eat too much of your bonus money).
Regarding how much to bet on each game, you don't want to have to ask here each time, as by the time someone answers the scalp will be gone. You definitely need an Arb Calculator. Many exist online, or you may make your own spreadsheet. If you have trouble locating one, let me know.
