    How to Treat Freeplay?? In sportsbook

    I will have 200 in freeplay tomorrow. What should my approach be?

    Fine a risky -Ev line?

    Bet it all into a Confident line?

    Split 150 into a Confident bet, and do 50 on a parlay for backup.(moneyline)

    Because the risk amount is zero, higher odds are always best for freeplays.
    If your book allows it, bet smaller amounts on +500 or higher dogs (or parlays with cumulative odds in that range).

    If you want to be conservative you bet the freeplay at the maximum odds allowable and play the other side at another book (assuming you don't get killed by the juice) or (again if the book allows it) bet all 8 combinations of a three team parlay.

    8 combinations, Would it come out positive for me? lol let say 3 team parlay with 8 combination would only give me 150.... Ill lose 50?

    Im thinking of a Round Robin, I rarely go 0-3 in a parlay always 2-1, a good chance of 3-0? Opinions?

    Some books don't appreciate the eight three-team parlay trick.

    Just do straight three team parlays.

    I think the wises thing to do is parlay 4 times for $50ea. or two parlay and a $100 teaser.

    I think that the safest route.
