What to do in the off-season

I consider May-August to be the down-time for sportsbook bonus arbitrage. The only American sport you can really bet on is baseball. This is the time to really work through as many of the signup bonuses as possible. In August and September, most of the sites will offer you a nice reload bonus for the upcoming NFL season. Many of the special reloads can be as good (or better) than the signup bonus.

Really focus on sportsbooks that offer dimeline pricing on baseball (ex. -110/+100). You will have a lot of success here since the sportsbooks only have a small gap between prices, it'll be easy to find some solid arbitrage opportunities.

5dimes offers nickel pricing on overnight lines (ex. -105/+100). This is a very good deal if you are looking to get in on a good line early. Otherwise, 5dimes has dimeline moneyline pricing during the day.

But be ready in September, because you are going to get more reload offers than you can even handle. Baseball and football will be in full swing, with hockey and basketball right around the corner. Sharpen your sportsbook bonus arbitrage skills now, so you will be ready when the real fun begins.
