    Default Why Do Players Have So Many Books When They........

    Only use 2 or 3 95% of the time? Does that tell you something? Yes it tells me you only need 3 books.

    JJGOLD, you gotta chase more bonuses. It's a pain in the ass and barely worth it, but that doesn't stop most of us.

    Slacker I am a straight bettor only and never once collected a bonus. I do not beleive in them. If most of you analyzed your bets I would bet 90% of your plays are at the same 3 books.

    sometimes having that fifth books helps you with that extra half point going your way on a big game...definitely worth it to have more than a couple...

    Analyzing...

    My top 3 books this MLB season...
    72% of my total action.

    Here's the real shocker...
    Pinnacle: 4th place.

    Good guesses.

    #1 Mansion
    #2 Matchbook
    #3 WSEX (I was very suprised by this one)

    Mansion got almost twice as much action from me as the next closest book.

    Matchbook, WSEX, and Pinnacle were all in the same neighborhood.

    I won the most, by far, at Pinnacle and did the worst at Matchbook. For the second year in a row I got very little action in at Canbet, but when they did have the best line, the bet lost at a staggering percentage. Maybe we need to start talking about the 'Canbet Lean'!

    They sure do.

    I originally thought their limits were $2500 on MLB sides which was a little low. After I realized that you could bet bet multiple times on the same side, they became a great MLB book for me.
