Where are the best bonuses?

[KaMiKazE]

What up? I posted a couple of weeks ago asking for advice on best books to read to get into the sportsbetting game. You guys hooked me up with some great advice and I read a ton of books/online articles/etc... Now I'm ready to jump in and do this. I will be an initial depositer on all sites. What do you guys think would be the best strategy here? Where are the best bonuses? Thanks again for your help!

How much are you planning on depositing?

My starting bankroll is $1000.

OK this is what I would do.

www.biggerbonus.com and Sign up for Bet Jamaica. Deposit 500 and get 100 cash from bet jamaica, 50 free play from bet jamaica, and 50 cash from bigger bonus.

Signup up for SKybook and max out their 100% free play bonus with the rest of your roll, and get 50 cash from biggerbonus.

That gives you a total of 1200 Cash and 550 in free play for your 1000 starting roll. This also gives you 2 books to look for slightly better lines at. Skybook also moves the line on football games .5 points every day ( not including the 3 and 7 though) and basketball lines.5 on fridays.

Your WR at Bet jamaica will be 2600.

Not sure at skybook since I didnt sign up under the current offer.

Skybook - From now until the 31st, they are offering $500 deposit, $500 freeplay (+ rakeback), 8x rollover ($8000).

SIA - $1000 deposit, $100 bonus (+ rakeback), 3x rollover ($3300).

Sportbet - $500 deposit, $250 bonus, 7x rollover ($5250).

I would start at one of these, most likely SIA due to the lower rollover, then Skybook, then Sportbet. I would choose Sportbet 2nd if they didn't have a 30-day hold.

Put money in Pinnacle and Bodog. Don't bother chasing bonuses at sites where the money you are spending in taking their crappier line just negates the bonus you are getting from them.

Pinnacle will typically offer you the best lines on any given game. If you want to sample some bonuses and still get some decent lines in the process, signup at Bodog or SIA. If you are just trying to familiarize yourself, signup at Pinnacle and see the difference in how much vig you pay in each bet.

PM me if you want some good referral sites to signup at, since I don't shill out a site name (aka biggerbonus) in every post I make regarding the issue.

Are you talking about rakeback on sports wagers? If so where do you get it? I know your site offers it for Pinacle, but I've never heard about this being an option for SIA and Skybook.

Sorry, I use cashback and rakeback interchangeably, which I shouldn't do. There are a bunch of one-time payment deals for SIA and Skybook, but I've never heard of "rakeback" deals for those books.

I would take the bonus at one of the sites with the crappy lines and put the other half of the money into a site with good lines. Then start trying to move the money to the better book. You'll avoid the high rollover and you'll learn a lot of handicapping as you find out it's not always easy to purposely lose bets. The bonus will give you a nice cushion through the learning process and a tidy profit.
