    Bonus advice for football season.

    I'm sure there are multiple threads around that discuss the optimal freeplay strategies but I'd like to hear some advice on what to do with a 150clam freeplay ladies/gents. Apologies if this has been beaten in the ground but it is almost football season so it won't hurt anyone to refresh on this.

    Typically in the SBR book I throw it on a small parlay or hit a soccer game but is the best strategy 8 3 teamers to ensure some kind of return or is the better option to bet a +200ish dog like Detroit Tigers?

    I don't know if they have an expiration date at most shops but perhaps just saving for a hedge opportunity like a snowball mission leg 24 type of thing??

    What do you guys do?
    Any advice is appreciated.

    it only depends on:

    1. how much you want extra money. gamble vs not

    2. how much you want to do the rollover

    I guess I should have been a little more clear in the OP.

    If allowed would you bet 8 three teamers?
    If not do you bet 1 straight wager?
    Do you throw it on a parlay?
    Do you save it for low balance situations and then take a shot etc?

    I guess this is a tough question in the sense that some are a lil more on the gambler side which is certainly me, others probably a little more risk averse.

    If you gamble, if you parlay it

    If you want to not rollover, you arb it out

    If you want to get cash, you 8 3teamers

    A straight +200 bet is not a good decision. You would need about +250 or so (that is assuming all bets you make at +200 thru +250 are the same)

    Ra77er:

    +230 moneyline

    a 2 team parlay you'd need above +230

    so if you want to gamble, you bet a parlay with atleast +300, or ml atleast +300, arb it out, or see if the book lets you do 8 3teamers

    Whats it to you anyway pal, does it make you feel better if I had 100$ or less on it? does it make it less sick if I only had 10$ on it and he played like that on 18th hole? Never even fuking heard of you but you seem to hound my threads and posts every day.

    Personally, if I get a free play from a book... which is rather rare. I wouldn't do anything weird with that free play. I just typically use it like I normally would on a straight wager.

    It's just not worth the headache to be CUTE.

    For certain things...spreads and a few ML's. Tried to do one with a few MLB ML's and an MMA wager and the free play option disappears. They aren't going to let you take a shot and win a huge amount with a free play.

    For freeplays the devils in the details so always read the rules.

    If you're straight betting at one shop doing 8 3 teamers is always the best use of a FP. BM/DSI don't care if you do it at the same book. If you're using more than one book everything else depends on your goals/book rules.

    Clicked thinking Ra77er had some sort of unique advice on football, not bonus as in free plays or cash.

    Ended seeing a little e-fight and found out Rudy is Billy Batts.

    As far as free plays, I get them for my birthday sometimes and for the most part agree with these posts...

    I usually don't even mess with this kind of stuff. Hadn't taken a bonus or use a freeplay in what seems like years.

    I haven't had to deposit anywhere offering freebies in a very long time.
