10% signup, -05 sides and totals, 10 cent bases.......

bhbookie · Dec 17, 2003

is what BHB is considering. Any thoughts?

bhbookie · Dec 17, 2003

No reup bonuses at all. only picking up the fees on deposits of $200 or more.

Max bet of 2k.

Bases goes to sliding scale after -170.

Nothing in stone yet, just sent them the proposed idea. They seemed interested.

SSI · Dec 17, 2003

this would be great, -.05 would be great but the 10cent bases wins me.. -.08 would be very acceptable.. this is exactly what you guys need to do.. no crappy bonuses, they hurt you now days, people are leery of them.. a hockey ML is also needed, even if its 20 cents..

Looking to improve the business model is great Scott. All the best. I think using the forum for suggestions is a great tool as well buddy.

Get serious BHB. You will get killed like no book has ever been killed before.

Slash · Dec 17, 2003

But this post is a joke, right?

bhbookie · Dec 17, 2003

I just come up with the ideas. They have to decise whethere or not they are the right choice for the business.

I will keep you guys posted with what they say. So you guys think 20 cent hockey, and -08 sides and total would be just as great?

SSI · Dec 17, 2003

i think -.05 may get you hammered,, -.08 is still very attractive.. id like to see a 10cent line in nhl but you have to start somewhere, you currently do not have the ML option for NHL action..

i think you would attract a whole different client base. not sure if thats what you want or not...

SSI · Dec 17, 2003

you will be headed for the big leagues,, be careful with the reduced vig. the 10cent mlb line up to -1.70 is a good step forward, push this hard when football is over.

Well said RPM.

You will get a *hitload of post-ups!

SSI · Dec 17, 2003

i hope you guys make it, you have put up with a lot of crap here, you have weathered some storms, you have graciously sponsored contests here, and you have always paid me very quickly, just as quick as OLY or Pinny, and i can only speak of my personal experience with you..

I'd say a minimum of -107 juice, 10c bases, hockey ML and greater options in other sports (i.e. tennis, soccer perhaps) would lead me to play at your book far more. Appreciate your consideration.

Tekari · Dec 17, 2003

-108 wouldn't be anything special because there are already alot of -105 and -107 now that at -108 you wouldn't really have anything to offer. I posted up with you guys for the football season for the +6 even money teasers and I would be looking forward to staying if you turn to a reduced shop but I think at -108 I would just be losing vig because there are so many more choices for cheaper shops.

Here's another option BHB:

-107 Juice max 2k

-105 juice max $500

Currently IIS is doing this and I hear they are having good success with the -105 for the recreational players.

Just something to consider.

Tekari · Dec 17, 2003

Just to clarify further those that want the -105 have to call up and get that changed on their account and they can have -105 on wagers of $500 or less. So it is good for people who wager small amounts and the sharps who bet 2k will not be able to pound you at -105.

D2bets · Dec 17, 2003

How about the option for a free half point in hoops and foots ('cept 3 and 7) at -110 instead of -105?

SportSavant · Dec 17, 2003

7 cent sides
7 cent totals
dime Bases (& base run lines!!!!)
dime hockey puck/totals (ala Pinny...)

is gotbookie.com same company as BHB?

are there any concerns with BHB?

How many active Cx's at BHB? (with balance in their account)

Tekari · Dec 17, 2003

If they are able to get away with dime puck and baseball lines then they definetly could do -105 sides.. the real issue is the max wager and also when their lines would go up.

If they aren't going to be having overnight lines then they are alot safer.

Guest · Dec 17, 2003

Dime bases and pucks would be heaven for me and I'm not concerned with nickel limits for web based wagers if you decided to go that route.

I agree 10000000 percent with SSI on puck moneylines. Books that put these up are tops on my list.
