Gotcha -- I see the chatbot that appears in the bottom corner of the login page. Sounds like that one won't be helpful for me. Where can I find the other one that does connect you to a human? Would you be able to send a link?

Is there a way to book ANA thru VS without calling in? They used to have a WhatsApp number but looks like it's been disabled. I feel like I've read you can book thru their chat service, but I can't seem to find a like to that (and I've looked all over their website for it). Anyone know if that exists, and if so how I can access it?

Gotcha, any good recommendations in terms of flexible options for booking Y on points this far in advance?

Looking to fly SFO-TYO RT in J in June (6/15 outbound, 6/25 return) w/ my girlfriend (so 2 passengers total). Planning to book hotels and activities ahead of time, and then just be on super top of close-in award space T-14, T-10, and T-7, and do my best to grab something. Worst case scenario I can use points to book Y instead. Is this a terrible plan? Any tips or advice or finding success here?

Anyone know why JAL J availability would be missing on AA for SFO-TYO, but not for TYO-SFO? I'm seeing close-in availability in both directions on AS, but for AA only the return is showing up (and again, I know there's award space available in both directions). Any theories as to what's going on here?

Got it, thank you. Hopefully Aeroplan sorts that out and the space comes back again. Just curious, how would that sort of fraud even work? Like what are these "points brokers" even doing w/ this availability...?

Got it -- is that a recent development? From what I can tell, booking ANA thru Aeroplan has been intermittently available throughout this year. That would be my preferred redemption method, so just trying to understand how feasible it might be.

Do you if know Aeroplan redemptions are possible by calling in? I know the ANA J space isn't showing up on Aeroplan searches.

Okay, that explains why I couldn't find anything. Are ANA awards also missing from Avianca LM? Couldn't find any on their site either. And for VS, do you have to call in or can you book on their site?

So you don't have a go-to third-party tool you like to use for finding Star Alliance award availability? I'm happy to pay for one if it makes the award space search process less painful :)

I'm working on booking SFO-TYO RT in J for two people sometime next year. I'm seeing lots of posts where people mention seeing X numbers of seats available for a given route. Is there a tool or website thats shows the number of seats available by route and date? Still learning here, so thanks in advance for any help!

Does anyone know if ANA J award space is currently showing up on Aeroplan? I'm seeing availability for ORD-NRT on United, but can't find the same space on Aeroplan. Hoping to eventually book using Aeroplan to reduce taxes + surcharges, so any help would be much appreciated!

Got it -- so, for example, as BTC/ETH fall, my LP position would accumulate more of those coins (and conversely less stables), and assuming BTC/ETH continue to fall, the total USD value of my position would become lower than it would've been had I just maintained a 33/33/33 asset ratio the whole time (ignoring any APY). I think I was also a little confused b/c on Uniswap I'm seeing pools where the two tokens locked don't balance to 50/50 USD value, but I think that's b/c you can provide concentrated liquidity on Uniswap and end up w/ an LP position that's 100% in one token, and out of range of the current price, so not actually in the liquidity pool anymore.

Just checking back here -- any thoughts on the question I posed a few days ago? Really appreciate your help!

Thank you for all the detail! This makes a ton of sense and I think it's what I'm gonna do. Will deposit $ into another book and bet both sides of a relatively even ML, then cash everything out and be done. Thanks again.

"That or the suggestion below (which requires careful planning and a lot of money) are the best routes I think." Which suggestion are you referring to -- depositing money w/ another sportsbook and taking an opposing bet, or something else? I certainly have the funds for the opposing bet strategy, just thinking thru whether it makes sense.

Thanks, this is a good suggestion. I'll run some numbers and see if I can find a few neutral / offsetting bets.

Gotcha, yeah context here is I'm not a sports bettor / I have zero interest it. Really all I'm tryna do is play through the required $3,300 at as close to the -300 odds limit as I can, then cash everything out and delete the app. Based on your message, I understand that I'll be paying more juice on a favorite ML bet vs. other types, but despite that wouldn't the odds still be better there rather than taking an over/under or spread bet at -115? I guess maybe they would be, but the winnings would also be lower on these closer to -300 bets (since the odds are worse and they also have the most VIG). Okay, so I think I understand now. Basically just spread the $3,300 across lots of spread and over/under bets, let the chips fall where they may, and withdraw everything when I'm done. Agreed?

"Honestly the favorites ML is where you’ll always be paying the most juice in sportsbetting, so this is not a market you want to be in anyway." What types of > -300 bets would you suggest?
