VIP offering free bet on bernardini

[scottyy11]

seemed like a ok deal so i took them up on it

I do have a winning account there so i phoned and asked if I qualified, was told that though I had a winning balance I do............so hope I got correct info

If Bernadini wins, the deposit, bonus and winnings must be rolled over 5 times in horses ONLY to be entitled to the bonus.


Sucks you would have to use it in the Horsie racing ONLY.

I got a $30 free bet on any horse race when I signed up and it won. I have to roll $120 3x on horses only which I doubt I will be doing. Maybe a $120 show bet on Bernardini might help

Bernardini is 2/5 morning line in a 4 horse field ... If he wins and he likely will, the payoff will be $2.10 or a nickle on the dollar ... The overall risk or loss for VIP here is squatski.

yep no good unless you play ponies but i generally bet more than a few bucks on the breeders

There won't be any show betting on this race.

yep its basically a match bonus you deposit $100 and probably gonna have $220 or so after the race. Geez you guys are tuff ........personally didnt think it was that bad.....don't know many racebooks that I can get a 100% deposit bonus, maybe you guys do? lmk if so

I'll amend my comment here ... I just thought they let you keep the winnings and not the original bet but now i see that is incorrect ... Yes, basically they are giving you a 100% bonus on a 100 deposit with the rollover and must be played on the horses ... Most horseplayers will turn that into zero in a blink of an eye.

Don't get me wrong Scotty it is a good deal, I just didn't like the fact that you had to use it just in the race book.


I guess it could be decent if you took a couple of hours and bet some ponies.

Cbs sportsline streams quite a few race tracks somedays, so you could even watch the races.

one of the few good moves I've seen by VIP...

So now we've got the money, what's the best way to cash-out? Lay this on a betting exchange?
