Default Need a little advice

Hey all,

So I decided to jump into the world of sports betting; baseball money lines, to be more specific. I think I have a pretty good method (don't we all?) but I'm curious about something, and I hope this question makes sense. Is there a point at which the "juice" is too high for a reasonable profit? Much like in blackjack where certain rules make the house edge too high? The reason I ask is that I opened an account at BetOnLine.com after a recommendation on here. After some quick division and addition, I see that the average juice for today is 3.7%. Is that about normal for online sites? I hope I didn't screw myself since there are all kinds of crazy restrictions and fees for payouts.

And by the way, I only bet on two games today, both underdogs:

Oak +106
Was +122


Thanks

I can't really answer your question on juice. But 5 dimes and betjamaica do have slightly better baseball juice. Some people I have talked to on other sites use the mentioned sites for bases and other sites for football. I myself use Betonline for several different reasons. One being the customer service is excellent and the operators speak fluent english. Funny, I just made my deposit for foots season yesterday.
As for restrictions or fees on payouts I don't understand? I took the option of them reimbersing the western union fees, and low juice option, instead of bonus play ( scam ).
I do like the layout of their website, clean, easy to navigate, and easy on the eyes.
Enjoy

Have you used this service before?? What's not to understand about payout fees. Betonline has 3 options for making a withdrawl. All of them come with fees associated with them, from $75 for bank wire to $50 for a check to a undetermined varying amount for wire transfers. They want you to pay to get your own money.

That would be great, however, I don't see that under the withdrawl options on their website. I'm a bit suspicious as to why they would tell you one thing and list another on the website.

Like 727 said, Betonline has 1 free withdrawl every 30 days. Which is'nt a problem for me as I look to make 1 withdrawl after foots season. That is why I questioned the post about fees.

The "one free withdrawal" is listed on the site somewhere; I remember seeing it. Although it says you have to call it in on a Friday between 9 and 1 or something like that.

Now I just have to figure out exactly how the "freeplay" bonus works. I'm not sure if I have to bet it all on one day or not. As for my first day of sports betting, I won one and lost one putting me up $5.50 (betting $25). And yes, I'm actually happy with that. I don't plan on posting my picks here each day unless anyone is actually interested in them.
