As a former professional I can confirm that these opportunities are mostly real and worth taking advantage of if you are confident you will never want to engage in serious sports betting (if you are going to be serious you want to ensure you are using a friendly person’s referral code if possible, so you collect their affiliate payments at least in part, which could be worth more than the bonuses).
Also, you can simply use pinnaclesports.com as a reference ‘fair price’ for all wagers, and assume the middle of their market is the true odds of everything, and you won’t be that wrong.
What do you have to do to have a friendly person’s referral code work? Is it as simple as coordinating with a friend in the moment, or does the person need to have been a member for X time or something? Should groups of people making a trip to do this make sure they’re all using each other’s referral codes (except for one, since someone has to be the first person to join) to get an extra 1% in EV?
Very cool to have a former professional in the thread! I didn’t know that affiliates got uncapped rakeback; it totally stands to reason that with so much opportunity in the US market, one could reach a scale of bets where even 1% of their volume per site would represent more money than the promos offer.
I believe OddsJam weights sharp sites like pinnacle, bookmaker, circa, and betonline to create their “perfect line.” I still think OddsJam is worth getting since they will provide data on all events, even if they have low or no confidence on what the fair price should be. The offshore books like pinnacle don’t always offer the range of bets on US sports that sites like Fanduel and BetMGM do. Sometimes the best odds on offer are obscure alternate lines from a few inefficient books. With OddsJam you’re able to see all the sites’ odds side by side and updated in real time.
