I disagree with the scalping out premise that has been bantered about here.

I'm pretty sure everyone here just shot down the idea of scalping out.

I suggest vetting the sportsbooks in the first place so that you don't feel like you need to move money out of it. I agree with the notion of having a couple to 3 or 4 books with an account, but there is no need to use a shady book for investment purposes, even if they try attracting you with giant sign up bonuses.

Sometimes there are much more enticing things about a book than the signup bonus.

I think the point is more that say for whatever reason you've ended up with money in a sportsbook that now looks shaky. You could have deposited at WSEX when they were A+ and now they are broke for an example. Should you then try and scalp it out is the question.

I personally say yes. Assuming you have around 5-10 books and have ABOUT 10-20% of your roll at each book. Working on this till it loses should'nt be to far fetched.
 
If there's no chance of getting paid then hedging any bet at that book is exactly like not hedging at all.
 
decent first post
 
I have tried to scalp out of places where withdrawing is a pain. Not worried about getting paid but no Moneybookers etc to assist the process. Rather than wait on the BS I know is going to happen it is easier if you spot a scalp to try and move it out. And if the money ends up there at least then it's worth the BS.
 
Nice work RJ

No tape yet (its been up to 49 degrees celsius down here so even the reptiles are looking to stay in the shade) but i know where he lays (i think) so will try and wrangle him out for a gday in a couple days time.

Problem is they are very shy creatures so will be a challenge. Will leave a meal out for it and see what happens. Fox will probably eat it but oh well can only try...

Take the Afghans at +145 agsinst the Zimbabweans tomorrow.

Game starts around 6am EST...

Anything of note happening with you chief?
