    Advise needed: free $250 bet
    I have a free bet from my book of $250. I am looking to take advantage if this by playing a big + $$$$ underdog. What are some good money kind dogs to play in the next few days? Any sport....this bet amt is much higher then my typical unit size. So let's bust the book!

      Do you have to use it all at once? I'd make sure you get at least 5/1 on the bet and the best way to do that is a 3 team parlay or a 2 teamer with dogs. Better to break it up into smaller bets more in line with your typical units if possible.

      Baseball will be up soon and that's the best place to find your dogs with the highest win probability.

          I'm not sure about using it all at once. I can do a parlay. But I'm looking for something real juicy. 5/1 or 5/1 sounds good to me!

              ARIZONA to win NCAA +500

              At this point if you're looking for something with 5:1 or better you're going to have to parlay to get it. Otherwise lay on a futures bet.

                  Thats good advise thanks. But that could lead to a conflict of interest Saturday night.

                    I would do a 2 or 3 team parley as well. It's basically a free shot...

                      Make 50 bets of $5 each on draws in soccer paying no more than +250.

                            This is one way to go about it if you want some guaranteed money.

                            Also, some books won't let you parlay underdogs on the ML, or even let you bet them straight.

                              In gambling there are no "conflicts of interest"...you bet with your wallet...not your heart....or you're finished

                                The first thing to do is get the rules printed out on "exactly" how you can use the free play so you are not frustrated by the book not accepting the bet because they only take money lines up to 140-180-220, etc. kind of thing. No props - no half times - no parlays - no teasers - no futures can all be there.
