I live in kentucky, and just noticed a spate of ads for online sports books popping up all over the place...hadn't even been aware that the commonwealth, following neighbors like west Virginia, has legalized sports betting starting in September.

Having only dabbled in sports betting before now (oftentimes putting a couple dollars down against the bucks just so I could find SOME solace if they lost, God forbid), I'm considering taking advantage of what seem like potentially lucrative sign up bonuses at each of these sites.

I was wondering if anyone has gone down this road, or has any advice on how to maximize profits through the use of bonus bets and the like...thoughts?
