    Free Plays vs Money

    What exactly is a free play compared to just having normal money in a betting account?

    A free play is worth roughly half of cash for the avg bettor because if you wager it you end up with cash as a result and the free play amount is gone. What is left is cash from the wager if it wins. A cash bonus is just like a deposit credit but it comes with requirements such as betting the deposit+bonus 4x. Bodog is the only 1x bonus right now. Freeplays also have play-through requirements.

    Ohhh I see. But if you get a free play and win it, you get real cash?

    Yep. Say you get a $100 freeplay and you wager it on a -200 favorite. If the favorite wins you end up with $50 credited to your account that you must "rollover" (bet) a couple of times and then you can withdraw it for cash

    I agree with Kabee, use your free plays for dogs or risky wagers to protect your roll.

    As everyone suggest, using a free-play on your dog picks is the way to go, however, if you do not have a balance and you just received a free play and that is your only balance, then of course you would want to use it for a favorite or whoever you think has the best chance to win the bet so that you could turn that free play to cash.

    Best of luck,
