So I don't expect to get my points back, but here's what happened. I had several freeplay points from BTP. I wanted to secure some guaranteed points from it to feed myself with pizzas, so I did the ol' 3-team parlay in 8 combinations. By betting all 8 possible combinations of a 3-team parlay you guarantee that you turn freeplay points into some real points, at the risk of a % of the freeplay. I started betting 300 freeplay pts into each of the 8 possibilities within the 3-team parlay. Midway through it tells me that I can't bet anymore because apparently 1000 is the most you can do total on these kinds of combinations. Even though there is literally no way I could ever know this because there is no warning or statement otherwise. So I'm stuck with points riding on half of a side that I didn't even want to bet -- I only wanted to bet every side and secure getting some of my points back.

Over 6 hours before the games even start I PM both SBR Forum and SBRAdmin3 explaining the above and asking them to please cancel my bets. Obviously didn't get a reply before or since. The half of the bets I was able to make lost. Makes me wonder if they would have replied and canceled afterwards if my side had won.

This just annoys the hell out of me. I find it hard to believe neither are there to respond to my PM for over 6 hours. And again, I have no way of knowing there's a limit on these bets so I get completely screwed without having any way of knowing I wouldn't be able to make the full combination bet I wanted to. Sucks pretty bad, and I don't really see what I was supposed to do differently since I can't magically know it's going to stop me at 1000 pts total. Glad I know now, but that's complete garbage.

I do the 8 parlays with free plays as well, didn't know about the 1,000pt cutoff though. I usually wait until my free play balance hits at least 500. Thanks for posting so the rest of us are aware, unfortunately at your expense.

Bobby you cheap mother rooster_eater!!! Do you always have to angle-shoot everything???

do get a chuckle with playersonly calling out another poster for "angle shooting" on the forums.

[playersonly69]

trytrytry, you are the ORIGINAL angle shooter!!


But hey, all gamblers are angle shooters!!! Hell if I came up to you at the bash and asked for change for $1, you would give .90 cents back

I'll do whatever the fukk I want with my freeplays asswipe, what rule is it breaking? Obviously I'm not the only one who does it, there's a few other intelligent folks on this otherwise degenerate forum.

Coming from a dickhead who gets penalized for playing extra tournies, & still getting his ass kicked in our challenge. Cough up the 100 chump, you're mathematically eliminated.

Why are you assuming that Bobby ha s a job?

Valid point, stated several times I'm retired. Apparently he meant when I was a working stiff...like him.

Easiest way to turn free play points into real points is to bet draws in soccer between +200 and +250.

And when your draw doesn't come in, your free play is lost...When you do the 8 parlays, one never loses.

You only need to hit 2 out of 5 to roll over even, 3 out of 10 70-75% return. I usually bet 5 FP points on 100 draws each week.

Percentages ay 3 out of 10 would be the norm for hitting draws, same return as the 8 parlays.

But you don't have a 1000 limit like parlays because they are individual bets.

True, but parlay limit was never a problem for me. I always did parlays b4 hitting 1,000 free play balance.

To each their own, whatever works for ya.

that is why you test it

same way at all books

say you have 2400 pts

well

try to bet the 1st 3 team parlay for 2400 pts

just dont confirm the play

if it lets you

you know you can do it

if you cant it will tell you max limit

1000 etc


lesson learned

you know better the next time.

But realistically how many people would do this or think it was necessary for 1000 pts? I had no reason to know or think that there'd be a limit at 1000. And my problem isn't just that there's a limit with no warning, but that I messaged 2 SBR people literally 6 hours before the games explaining everything and didn't get a response before or since. Would be nice if they would even acknowledge me. While 1000 freeplay pts is literally nothing to them, it means something to me, but if they don't give a crap about their members, oh well, whatever

If you don't want to flip, don't sit at my Omaha table. Pretty simple solution. To call it "weak" when my balance is 987x more than you, is totally laughable.

I'll tell you what's "weak," soliciting a 66pt loan because you can't generate your own pts: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...oon-poker.html

Hahaha, now I try it again keeping in mind the limit of 1000 on combination bets. Get screwed over AGAIN, because they've changed the limit to 500!! Thanks SBR, freaking jokers

Thanks for update, my free play balance is 480. Time to cash in 348, with 8 parlays.
