On top of handicapping, you can always make money by bonus whoring and getting bonuses by signing up through affiliate links.

The bonus whoring requires a bit of work and might require a large sum of money being dumped at one site. Basically what you have to do is sign up to get a deposit bonus from the site. Most site requires the deposit + bonus amount to be rolled over a few times over before allowing a withdraw.

Now the key to the whole whoring is to find an identical lines that pays about even money or better for each team of the wager on two different sportsbook.

Eg. Site X gives the line Team A -3 vs Team B Pays Even
Site Y gives the line Team B +3 vs Team A Pays Even

Now you can make two large equal size bet on both sites and clear a large portion of the bonus. Continue to do so until the bonuses are cleared.

Clever.

I guess the key is finding even money...

sounds like you do very well with sports betting. good to hear hat you have a system and the discipline to stick with it whatever the situation.

the only sports betting that i have done was on a very small basis. i had a friend living in vegas during the football season last year, and just for kicks i would play a parlay or two every sunday. this was really just for fun, with the max i bet in a weekend around $15. i never won any of the parlays, but i didnt really expect to either. it just added a bit of excitement to the weekend.

unfortunately i think my sports betting days are over. i work for a pro sports franchise, and i really have no interest in risking anyting that i have gained by putting a couple of bucks down on a game here and there.

currently i work for the cincinnati reds in baseball operations. there might be a change of positions/organizations in the near future, but for the time being i am in cincinnati.

i know that the risk of any type of sports betting coming back to bite me is small, but i dont really see the need to take any risks. especially seeing that my position puts me in direct daily contact with the manager and field staff, any sort of bets could put me in a very precarious position.

Just make a friendly wager weather Pete Rose makes the hall of fame. That has nothing to do with sports

Eddo, unless you are player personnel or in charge of it, I don't think any legal ramifications would follow if you placed bets.
