    Back In The Game Boys! Soccer Play Is First Up..

    Finally got ahead of the game and was able to make a deposit. Dropped $200 into BetIslands this morning and ready to go! Very nice offer they gave: 100% FP (9x rollover), free 1/2 point NFL/NCAA Mon-Fri and covered the $10 ** fees.

    I think I'm going to let the FP ride on a soccer total that I really like in Holland (Breda vs.Nijmegan).


    STRAIGHT BET SEP 16 SOC [87441] ALT1 -NAC BREDA O2 1/2 -137 $200.00 / $146.00 10823946

    Yes, I am. When I see one on the first 2-3 pages of PT, I mark it down. Right now, there are 40 total plays and I'm going thru the newest posts now.

    GL VI with the play but you wasted money taking a -137 on a free play... only play FP with Ev or + money plays.

    A lot. It's one of the highest scoring domestic leagues (if not THE highest) in the world. A lot of shops have this total at 2.75 or 3. Laying -137 actually isn't that bad for O2.5 here

    $200 FP - max you win with your bet is $146, so $54 was just wasted because unlike a cash play where you get both risk+win back you only get win with FPs. Some that don't agree might say its only a FP and you never had the $200 to begin with anyways but why not get the max value out of it with a + money play or at least Ev play.

    Just my thoughts on FPs, good luck with the play, hope you hit.

    Took the under 3.5 Live because I'm sucker so your bet should be good.

    Nice early score.

    That makes sense, miners. Never really thought about it that way. I always just thought it's "free" so why not take something that you're really confident that's going to hit. I guess there's two schools of thought about the topic. Thanks for the insight, next freeplay I get, I might think of it your way.

    Something to consider for future free plays is to play 3 or six draws on soccer. You hit one or two and you get your money back.
