Best way to use a Bookmaker Freeplay?

**SKiLLsSoLoN** · 06-13-10, 12:09 AM

I always think the best way to use free play is to take underdogs.

Putting up money and getting it back and some profit is the way to go I think.

Ummmm make a +E.V. play. What else

**rm18** · 06-13-10, 02:05 AM

parlaying a bunch of +ev plays, like risk $10 to win 3k

Hint: Suppose you have a $200 freeplay.

Option A: Bet it at -200.

Expected value: (2/3)*100 = 66

Option B: Bet it at +200.

Expected value: (1/3)*400 = 133

Option C: Bet it at +400

Expected value: (1/5)*800 = 160

Avoid taking any favorite in baseball would be a good start. Bookmaker's baseball lines on favorites are ridiculous. Always at least 10 points more juiced than any other book, sometimes as much as 40 points higher than any other book on big favorites.

I always use FP's on 2 team parlays

2-Team parlay is a good way to use your FP.

I would say avoid baseball all together at bookmaker. If you can find a +ev baseball bet at bookmaker you are guaranteed to find a much higher +ev offer for the same bet at another book. Their baseball lines are crap.

Best +ev bet at bookmaker world cup round 1 draws. Most teams play not to lose in the first round and draws happen at high rate. If you can find the right draws you are golden. I reccommend:

DRAW portugal/ivory coast june 15
DRAW SA/Uruguay june 16
DRAw france/mexico june 17
DRAW S Korea/Argentina june 17

Why not just find the biggest underdog play they allow you to use your freeplay on, at betphoenix it is +200, not sure what it is at bookmaker, and scalp the other side at Matchbook, that way there is a good chance you wont have to complete the extra rollover but still gain the bonus money.

bet brazil and a even money spread at +100 on each side. Pending a brazil victory you will win the amount of your free bet after hedging the second.
