                  I think its like a box bet for a trifecta concept. You cover every possible bet, one has to win

                    You find three different games that each have a half-point spread on them.

                    And then you make eight different three-team parlays including each possible scenario.

                    In this scenario, you would make each parlay $50. ($400/8)

                    Hopefully that makes sense.

                      Yeah that does make sense... I'm trying to do the math in my head but hurting my head... It would take 8 parlays to cover all possibilities, right? And it would give you approximately 75-80% of your free play money back to you?

                        It depends of what is allowed by book.

                        The eight 3-legs parlay is OK. It works even better on MLB when 10 cents lines are used, but you must balance each parlay to payout the same. Easy to do with a little math. OTOH, some books may flag you as sharp if you use that stunt.

                        Using a moneyline dog usually gives you slightly better value if hedged at good price (matchbook is great for that). Patience and line shopping is important here.

                        Splitting the freeplay into many moneylines +400 or higher with no hedge is theoretically better, but high variance. Also must shop for good value on dog moneylines, and may take a while to bet it all.

                        You should also check the rules and rollover requirements. Some books use higher of FP amount and won amount for rollover, another caps the freeplay amount to be won, etc.

                          Bingo.

                          There is no risk involved.

                          Here is an example of how it would look:

                          First find three games with a half point spread each. Raiders +10.5 versus Chiefs. Bengals +1.5 versus Browns. Vikings +7.5 versus Lions.

                          Now just put them all in three-game parlays.

                          Raiders/Bengals/Vikings.

                          Raiders/Bengals/Lions.

                          Raiders/Browns/Vikings

                          Raiders/Browns/Lions

                          Chiefs/Bengals/Vikings

                          Chiefs/Bengals/Lions

                          Chiefs/Browns/Vikings

                          Chiefs/Browns/Lions

                            Got it... I'm close to winning a $500 freeplay and I feel like this is probably the smartest way to use that money, right? Could try and go big and parlay a spread and over game and make like $1200, but getting the sure $375 or whatever seems like it might be smarter

                              Do whatever best suits you. All I ask for is a two point donation.

                                  I recently had a $1500 freeplay at Bookmaker.

                                  It worked fine.
