    Would you deposit $1500 to get a $3000 deposit bonus with a 100x roll?

    Not match play, cash bonus 100x roll. I get these custom deals emailed to me once in a while. I don't know if the books want my action to know the sharp side or think I'm a square.

    This is a square A range euro book. I figure this could be my BR through hoops. Take it or Pass?

    200% cash bonus at 100x?

    Hell no.

    Got to put 300k in action to collect from a 3k bonus

    Not even close to being a good idea

    Take it. Easy roll if you picks winners.

    Absolutely not. 100x is ridiculous.

    You could find 15-20X on the same bonus elsewhere.

    Most definitely I would do it. It's free money. I'm not some degenerate that needs to cash out to pay rent, so I let my money sit in the sportsbooks (and skrill) anyway.

    Anybody that says they wouldn't do it is just some small-time chump who regularly has to re-up.

    100x. Too high. Like the china man said you can get 20-25x at solid books that pay .

    I would do it under the following conditions:

    1. Book is reputable. Pinnacle, CRIS, Greek type of reputation.
    2. Fees on withdrawals is reasonable.
    3. No risk of having my limits cut mid-rollover and getting screwed around the way the GTBets, Phoenix and other books do things.
    4. Reasonable juice. Many of these Euro books deal -130 type lines.

    If the book is truly a "square" book, then chances are you would be limited in a hurry if you are even remotely sharp. Most Euro books are VERY quick to cut limits (Will Hill, Bet365, etc.)

    John, can you name the book?

    I'm a post up Pinny, euro book guy these days and only play from CR. Too busy to play with anyone that might have funds transfer issues.

    It's WillHill. I played there before. Pretty nice book overall. The only book to ever limit me was 365 during their roll out of live betting like 10 years ago. I think I helped them figure out their NFL feed was 8 seconds slow in the US. We have since kissed and made up.

    I like William Hill. They have a good affiliate program, and their affiliate managers stay on top of things. I also use them to bet whenever every once in awhile they give me a better (or slower) line than elsewhere. No limiting issues yet.

    $3000 bonus with a 100x roll

    this is like $300,000 in action

    I suppose if you decide to leave your wife and kids and concentrate on betting everyday for the next 6 months or more you can roll it over but by the time you roll it over you will get sick of gambling and quit all together.

    Pass on the bonus, if you think you can pick enough winners to roll over 300,000 then you dont need the bonus

    never take any bonus with rollover...the max I would ever go is x2, but no one ever offered this to me...play with your own money, so you can get access to it anytime you need to.

    What are the max limits? Do it only if the limit is like 100k or something like that.

    Bet the $4,500 on a 70-1 parlay, or bet the $4,500 all on one play and then bet it all on several plays until you get to 300k. If you win the parlay, then it's easy to rollover fast or just bet it all on 1-3 plays.

    By getting $4,500 to do this with rather than $1,500 you're basically getting 200-1 odds on a 70-1 prop.

    $300,000 is an insane amount to be forced to wager before getting access to your money. You'd have a $4.5k bankroll on there, and betting $90 (2%) at once means you'd need to bet on 3,333 games. I'd have to go back to the year 2010 to have placed 3333 bets.

    That being said... I'd take it. I'd put $1500 in other investments (ie the stock market) if you told me in 4 years it'd be worth 4.5k, so why not?

    I wouldn't worry about WillHill's ability to pay, as you probably know. Book has been around forever and pays like clockwork. However, if you start beating them (especially to slow numbers), they WILL limit you (first they will send you to TRADER, then you will soon realize that your limits are around $25-$50 per game, even for NFL).

    So, in conclusion, I would do the promo as long as they would be willing to pro-rate the bonus in the event that they choose to cut limits. For example, if they limit you after you've completed 20% of the rollover but they allow you to withdraw your entire balance minus $2400, then I would do this promo in a heartbeat. If, however, they force you to complete the enormous rollover while betting $50 per game, I wouldn't do the promo.

    Why not then send the $1500 to St Jude's Children Hospital as a charity donation? If you always lose in gambling then why do you keep doing it?

    If you have the time to place 3333 bets in one year then do it. The average gambler here can't keep up with the time and work effort involved to achieve this.

    Its good if you dont need the money

    Its basically a free year of gambling for a $50 bettor

    Now your going to lose 4% on your volume so whats that?? 12K??

    Most likely it will be a bust out scenario

    It's a matter of your perspective IMO.

    If you are a player that knows a deposit is just a form of entertainment and you just bet for the hell of it, then yes, take the bonus. This will give you more entertainment plays and let the book know you are probably a square that just wants to have a good time, not that there is anything wrong with that.

    If you are a player that deposits to make a true profit and takes each play very seriously, then no, don't take the bonus , simply make your plays and kick their ass, especially if they are a square book. This too will let the book know who you are.

    That's my take.

    Why would he have to do that? He can use this for a big parlay or to press his bets each play. He'll either lose fast or win big fast. If he puts all $4,500 on a big parlay and wins he'll have plenty to work with to roll it fast. If he loses, he loses. No need to mess around with 3000 bets.

    Why only bet 2%. This is fun money. You go all in and keep pressing. You'll end up with $600k or nothing. Use it like a lottery ticket. IN this case, the lottery ticket has great odds because you have a $4,500 lottery ticket that you only paid $1,500 for.

    Id do it because like Chili said, i don't need access to the funds. Being WillHill, I wouldn't mind letting it sit. You probably can't negotiate getting your limits cut but maybe you can negotiate lowing the rollover proportionately if they do
