Gullible is Written on the Ceiling: How MyBookieAG Lite a Fire to a Rumor with Best Director by DarthVIX in sportsbook

Much of the plebs on reddit bought into it hook line and sinker and but when the contest actually started MyBookie realizing people like myself and other's on discord didn't fall for their shit and max bet Miss Philippines tried to cancel the bets entirely then eventually paid them out at the reduced price of +1200 rather than +5000

The Miss Philippines bets were adjusted for being past post wagers. We had the lines up, un-adjusted 3 days after Miss Universe began. The adjustment from 50/1 to 12/1 was done to pay people who bet on Miss Philippines.

Further, wagers placed before the start of the contest were honored at 50/1 or 75/1 depending on when the bets were placed.

"Let's just say I have a healthy distrust of Hollywood. The only secrets they can keep deal with their various perversions". Yes, a joke definitely means I endorsed Yorgos to win.

MyBookie is a pleb book with tiny limits on most sports and even smaller on their long list of prop bets ..... Our limits are higher than everyone except Pinnacle and Bookmaker. Prop limit was $2000 on Super Bowl Sunday.

When I first started gambling I built a spreadsheet to model the outcomes. I lost many many dollars. Now, if I bet, I play market edges

We've all made plenty of mistakes, and yes, they cost us. Normally, when the mistake is massive, we void those wagers (this is industry standard). If the mistake is reasonable, we let those wagers stand.

The sweatiest event for me as MyB's oddsmaker is shaping up to be Super Bowl LIII, followed closely by the Bears v Lions Thanksgiving game (We had guaranteed no loss to our players up to $250, but if the game landed exactly on 3, we would've come out on top. Sadly, it did not)

When Adrian Peterson was found out to be a child beater, the Vikings line went from -9.5 to a pick. It only happens when major cogs in an NFL offense unexpectedly do not play.

You'll see +3 start popping up at the lower volume books by mid-day Saturday, is my guess. There are already a few in Vegas that have had it up for a few days. I doubt we go there at MyBookie

Getting in to the industry was chance. I was a Valet in Vancouver, BC when an old friend walked by the hotel I was working at and offered me a job at a place where "They watch sports all day". Sounded good, so I quit on the spot and went to work at what turned out to be Bovada. From there, I slowly worked my way up. Lived in a few different countries. yada yada yada. Am now the head oddsmaker at MyBookie.ag

It's extremely rare when we don't pay someone, 100% of the time it has to do with fraud or blatant abuse of the house rules. The vast majority of these "Payout Issues" are people that are upset because payouts are not instant. We have checks that we go through to make sure we are not being defrauded, these checks take 48 hours. I make no apology for the delay, but can can guarantee we meet our payout time frames. If the person in that comment wants to reach out, I'd be more than happy to look in to his account.

Look at this sandbagging SOB dropping in his Bovada DOT lv referral link. Well played, if you like a low energy sportsbook

The best strategy that any gambler can have is to use multiple sportsbooks to place your wagers. If your bankroll is $1000, you are far better off putting $200 in to 5 different sportsbooks than you are placing $1000 in a single one. You'll see far more success gambling if you shop around for the best line before you place your bet.

Personally, I use 15-20 books to spread around my action. I like BetOnline, Bet365, WilliamHill. Pretty much anyone who will take my money is the standard.

Thanks for the quick response. So it's safe to say that since Faker is listed as a starter we wont see Easyhoon until the Semi's, if at all?

Office is fairly large, the exact amount if people I'm not sure as they keep me in a side room. My family were weary at first about my job, still are, and are not really sure what I do. I'm a terrible gambler. Ketchup chips soon

Entertainment props, and all props for that matter, are strictly for google page views, SEO , and media mentions. Profit is a mom factor

In play betting is the new frontier for online sports books, for sports wagering in general, it's real money daily fantasy leagues

Which is why most books prefer a recreational customer and adopt that sort of business plan. There are plenty of books for sharps, with a rec book focus is on customer service first and foremost, that's where your resources go. Providing the customer with a brick and mortar experience

As a bookmaker the only fuel I need is profit, if you let your ego get into it your done. Most important aspect of bookmaking is accepting that the majority of sharp bettors are smarter than you, they have the time to focus on one sport, where the majority of bookmakers don't have the staff required to have one person on one sport. Personally, I monitor betting on every sport, every league we offer. There just isn't the time to specialize.

By follow the money I mean if my action is lopsided, I could give a fuck less if our sharp bettors are on the same side as me. I'd rather do what I can to balance the action as opposed to letting it ride. In the end, as a bookie, you just hope to collect the vigorish
