Yes if they are 50$ to withdraw..

Mammon has a point. I always wondered how people can be playing $10 plays offshore. They have to go on some kind of roll to compensate for the funding/withdrawl costs. I don't see how it is even possible to cover those costs and win at the $10 per play rate.

I bet about $25-$50 a game, sometimes more and the w/d fees do add up to some degree.. There are a few places that give you free payouts once a month..

Most books won't compensate for funding fees also unless you deposit $300, correct? That's a lot of fees.

Never heard of a book charging a funding fee.. Thats new to me.

I mean if you were to deposit say $300 by mneygram or westernunion, boks would pay for the fees. If it is under $300, then they don't. So, say a $10 bettor sends in $150, he is also out the what $20 for the fees to send. Then should they win, the book would charge to withdraw also. That's a lot t make up for if you are betting $10 a game.
 
Re: Do you believe $10 bettors are nitwits?

There are ways to deposit that don't involve Moneygram or Western Union. I've not had to leave the chair in front of my computer to deposit in the last three years or so. . .And it's always free. . .

Oh you meant like that.. My bad.

Well someone who is planning on depositing less than $300 shouldn't be depositing via MG or WU.. They should be using NetSpend or their CC's.

All great bettors start out as 10 dollar bettors at some point in their lives. Who's to say that this current 10 dollar bettor isn't some guy who's great and its just a matter of time when he's betting FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A GAME!

the amount you bet does not make you a nitwit.

I've seen $500 nitwits too.

Re: Do you believe $10 bettors are nitwits?

Well, where exactly does it end? Are people who wager $100k a game any better than someone who only wagers $1k a game? If the answer is no, then what is the difference between someone wagering $1k and $10?

For the most part, yes. There are obviously exceptions to the rule.

Nitwits are what made offshore industry so profitable....not the so called whales....

I have seen many 20-50 dollar players turn into 100 dollar players and up...

Rather be a $10 bettor that can pay than a $50 bettor that can't.


Helps avoid your agent outing your business on the internet over 300 bucks. :cocktail

I know a guy who bets $10.00 games and he's also a nitwit. So, yes...

Re: Do you believe $10 bettors are nitwits?

No, not at all. You see a guy playing $10 a hand in BJ or using $10 as a base wager at the crap table, not at all. Same guy goes to the book and bets $10 bucks, why is he a nitwit. The argument about the MG or WU is not a valid comparison based upon the question presented.

Truth be told is that a nitwit doesn't even bet but has many selections and opinons on a gambling forum....you know who you are.....

At the casino, we sometimes see a millionaire playing $10-$25 a hand blackjack and people ask why is he playing for peanuts compared to his net worth. But we see many more middle class people playing $300-500 or more a hand. If both are non-counters, the nit wit could be the $300-500 a hand guy, but to each his own.

Have to start somewhere...but continuing to bet $10 requires discipline...maybe a good start - like those poker players who started playing with pennies, heh.

Re: Do you believe $10 bettors are nitwits?

No way you can classify anyone by how much they bet, in sportsbetting or anything else. I can tell you first hand of a poker room where the $1-2 is WAY tougher to beat than the $20-40 game. Believe me the fish/nits whatever were in the big game. Whales without a clue are often the worst, or the best if you are on the recieving end. Sometimes $10 bettors will be the sharpest guys on a sheet. Maybe they are just starting out, have little disposable income and so on but it's not the size of the wager that is all inclusive. BTW the absolute bread and butter for us in the old days was the $10-$50 dollar bettors. Most always lost and they never went bust, a books dream.
