lol He charges you to pay for his PPH fees. I have never heard of that and its probably a sign that if you hit him big he wont pay
I was about to say the same thing, that's insane.
If you don't even know where to start in the offshore world, go to SBR, they have a full list of offshore books. Take their ratings with a large grain of salt because those books pay for their good ratings, but it gives you a general idea.
I'm guessing doing Moneygram or Western Union transfers would be equivalent to taking a trip to the moon, so you can contact these places and see which ones take credit cards. You are really really going to have a tough time winning when you are limited to having to take the closing line on every game you bet.
You do have a few things going for you. Scores and Odds takes their numbers from the Jazette books, the group that owns Sportsbook. They have several off numbers, so there's a decent chance you can find some value even at first pitch.
Also, if this guy is letting you bet up to 5 minutes after first pitch, I wouldn't use this window to bet 1st inning props because that would be kind of obvious, but you can certainly use it to bet 5 inning play.
If the home team gets the first two guys out in the top of first, they increase their chances of winning the game by 4%. That means it's at the very minimum 8% for the first 5 innings and possible more. You could play these blind.
Home team gets two quick outs, bet the home team for 5 innings.
Yes, it's past posting and taking a shot, but this guy is both cheap and lazy so I wouldn't feel too bad. If he cuts ties with you, no big loss.
