Heritage Cancel Bet at Half Promo: NC State vs. Cincy

[rad]

From what I understand the rules are you have to bet on a side either against the spread or ML. You can't bet on the total and the maximum is $300.

Two so-and-so teams, and I'm not really sure who to go with, but I'll definitely be playing this game. Can't pass up a almost freeplay opportunity like this. My initial lean is $300 on the Cincy ML to win ~$100.

Any thoughts? Any Heritage players out there familiar with this promo? This is my first one, so I may not even have to rules down.

Why not NC State moneyline and if they have a lead at half, you hedge?

Good idea

[PaperTrail07]

i didnt get any offer like this!!

[rad]

D3 - That is a good idea. I just read the fine print though, and unfortunately, they don't allow ML bets on this...just bets ATS

Paper - I think its for all Heritage players (could be wrong). When I log in, the banner thing in the middle is a link to the info about this promo.

then i think this would be a good game to take the points.

i still am not comforted by the fact that i can get out at halftime though. weird shit happens.

[BigdaddyQH]

they are hoping for a close first half. This is just another gimmick from another desperate book to get action.

[yisman]

Obviously you can't pass it up.

Everyone with enough money should bet the max $300 on it.

They've had a banner up on the site about it for several days, and it was mentioned in their newsletter.

They've been doing it for quite a while and I wish every book had "gimmicks" like this.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Plz explain this promotion to me.

Let's say I bet $220/200 on team A.

I then have the option to eliminate $110 risk at halftime (if I so desire)? Is that correct??

[rad]

Chuck- You bet $220, you have the option of cancelling the entire $220 from kickoff up until (and including) halftime. You get the full $220 back if you cancel.

[yisman]

It's free money. There was a thread last year discussing how to maximize profit from this promo.

[goldengreek]

This promotion applies to straight wagers only. You can not place wagers on both sides of the game.
Maximum wager amount is $300. Money Lines, Totals, Parlays, Teasers, If-Bets and Props are not eligible for this promotion.

If depositing without a bonus with the sole intention of just betting the "Get Out of Your Bet at Halftime" a 3X rollover will apply on any amount bet on the bailout.

This promotion only applies to the College Football game between NC State and Cincinnati on September 22nd, 2011.

Make a second half bet. Take NC State for the second half if Cinci is covering by halftime, Take Cinci for second half if NC State covering by halftime.

Exactly. It's better than not offering it at all. I would hate to have the option of getting out of a bet that my team is losing by 28pts at the half

[jcubs55]

This is my first time doing this promo, is the following allowed?

I want to bet Side A to win $200, and then Side A again to win $100. This way, at halftime I can choose to eliminate either nothing (keep $300 on it), eliminate the $100 bet (keep $200 on it), or eliminate the $200 bet (keep $100 on it).

Is this allowed or will I have to be cancelling all or none of it?

[Darkside Magick]

yes you can do that way...if you want to cancel one or more bets

[Chuck Sims]

Heritage

This is a great promo. Up til last year Heritage allowed $500 max wager. I middled one game with $500 on one side and took the other side for $300 at halftime. Won both bets. I made $2500 with this promo with little risk.

Two big thumbs up for Heritage.

Especially given the way NC State plays. There's a good chance that they'll be down at half then come back and at least cover, causing the State bettors to cancel and the Cincy bettors to lose.

[yisman]

I wish I could find the old thread where people discussed the best way to take advantage of this promo.

[Outhouse Tim]

Agree

This was my question, exactly. I would rather place 2 bets on team A as long as I have the option at halftime to cancel just one or cancel both if necessary.

[yisman]

OK, what you do is bet the other side 2H at a different book if you want to go for a middle.


Obviously Heritage isn't interested in allowing people to do that, but I assume any semi-serious bettor has money at more than one sportsbook.

[Pivotpoint]

jcubs55,
Sorry, read your post to quickly. You can cancel up to $300. Heritage advises to make multiple wagers if you want to bet over $300. Say your putting a nickle on the game, enter a straight bet for $300 and another for $200. This would allow you to cancel the max wager since you can't do a partial cancelation of a single ticket.
Splitting tickets is allowable and $200 and $100 is fine. Gives you options to reduce risk at the half, if you so choose. I like that you can cancel online now vs having to call at the half. Good luck tonight.

[BernardMadoff]

Exactly and everyone knows that, this is just a ploy to suck in new customers.

[yisman]

lol at people saying ploy and gimmick. Again, they've been doing it for quite a while, and no other book is so generous with these giveaways.

Name me one other book that allows you to cancel bets you made at halftime?

[rm18]

Is it $300 base or risk? and can I buy points?

[rad]

Also, just in case anyone was wondering if you're allowed to cancel multiple bets (as long as its $300 or less):

[Maria] Thank you for contacting Heritage Sports, how may I help you today?
[xxxxxx] Question regarding tonight's promo...If I make three bets tonight for $100 each (total of $300)...can I cancel all of them? or just one?
[Maria] correct
[xxxxxx] which is correct?
[Maria] you can cancel all of them if you want
[xxxxxx] ok, thanks a lot
[Maria] You're welcome and have a great evening

This is useful just in case you want to leave an open bet after half who's amount is dependent on what the score is

[KGambler]

Is it $300 base or risk?

This is what I want to know too. Is the max base or risk?

[KGambler]

The max is "to win" $300.

[broadway6]

so you have to bet ATS... great promotion. Tony needs to do this over at 5dimes.

[yisman]

I think I'm going to do three $100 wagers and then decide at halftime what to do.

I could also do 5 $60.

[jcubs55]

So now that we have the logistics figured out... what side is everyone taking?

I'm going with Cincinnati -7, just for the equity of a blowout. IMO if NC State has the game close at half or is even winning outright, that bet would be somewhat unsafe, since Cincy has such a potent offense and can score a lot of points in one half... especially the second half with the crowd behind you at home. I think there is much more equity hoping for a Cincy blowout, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.

I am also on Cincy 1H TT o17 and full game TT o33, gl all.
