I was also a credit player up until about a year ago. Going post-up is so much better in my opinion. No one knows your business and you can put in your plays whenever you want. That's what I like most about it. There is no you can call between this hour and this hour bullshit.
Credit Wagering I guess has changed since you played....LOL JK
You're talking more about a Old-time Local.
Any reall good Credit Shop is online, and they have been for Years
The "real" good credit shop near me that had an online book was busted a few years back ago for also having a shop in the Borgata. Here is the link: http://www.tightpoker.com/news/illegal-sportsbook-busted-at-borgata-265/
When the Story first came out, I was like NO Shock there....
That shit was out in the open and Everyone knew about it.
You Just can't Operate like that.
I have two friends that play professionally in the Borgata (poker) who had nothing to do with the sportsbook and because they hung around and were always seen on camera bullshitting with the guys who were in charge of it they were banned from the Borgata for life.
I'm going to be harshly straight forward with you. When playing with a credit shop, you have to have good discipline because you have to settle every Monday and then you start out with a new line of credit. The problem is with a credit shop is if you don't have control, you can build up a substantial balance in a week and then blow it before you have to settle. You always know in the back of your mind that you are going to have new credit available on Monday.
With post up, not only do you get a better menu with shops like 5Dimes and Betonline, as you well know, but because you don't want to keep loading in funds, you tend to manage what you have in your account much better and take payouts once your bankroll has grown and you can still keep any necessary working balance in your account.
