    Freeplay clearing in a book...how do the react?

    I have a freeplay in a book and was wondering how these book react if you do these 3-team parlays that guarantee you a 74% payoff...is that ok for them or will they be pissed?

    I have put in parlays using freeplays from 5 dimes as well. Don't worry about it. If you win, there's always someone else losing more money.

    Sportbet doesn't care. I've done it a few times there. And payoff is prob going to be in 60%ish range.

    With 5dimes you can bet huge dogs and do better than the 75% that you can realize using the 3-team parlay method ( which can guarantee a 75% return, mrmarket ). If I am clearing a free play at a site that does not allow moneylines on free plays, I will play 4 of the 8 parlays using one team in all four. Then I will cover the opposite team at 5-dimes making sure that the odds on this team are about +100. So, 4 three-team parlays at $100 free play each will bring in $600 if one of them wins. Minus the $300 loss at 5dimes equals a $300 net win for the $400 in free plays that got used. If all 4 parlays lose, then 5dimes wins $300. Either way, you end up with $300 out of a $400 free play. And now, the free play sportsbook sees you putting up bets with a 50% chance of winning or losing.

    Branch, this might even be the best idea to do it since they wont feel like you try a cheap shot, thanks for the info!

    And losing the freeplays would even be the best case since you dont have to worry about any kind of rollover then !

    The books are not dumb. They know about this practice and most have stopped allowing it.

    If you have a book that still allow you to do it, go for it.

    So I should probably test it with some change first and see how it goes right?

    Similar question I think.

    I did a $1000 deposit at Bkmr with a 20% bonus requiring a 5x roll. I show $200 freeplay which I haven't used. I've currently wagered $3800. When I reach $5000 will my account be funded or is it still a freeplay. I don't recall seeing anything about "freeplay" when I signed up.

    I imagine they figure most will lose the deposit before they have to pay on a 5x roll. I think they still pay if you bust but I hope to not find out in that manner.

    Thx and GL.

    Do it they dont give 2 sh-its. Not a place u really have to worry about u have a lot of freedom there. But Blanch said u could bet heavy dogs which would give u more percentage back if u could find them and the NBA and NCAA should have plenty of them.

    It sounds as if you are operating under the assumption that your free play will turn into cash when you have completed your roll-over? That is not how it works. The free plays must be wagered. If you win, the winnings are added to your account. Take note however, that BM does not return free plays that push -- so it is best to put them on something with a half point if you don't use moneylines. Also, Bookmaker allows parlays for free plays, but not moneylines ( although in baseball and hockey you can bet the moneylines for free plays since they somehow are not considered moneylines - but the odds do not get high enough to do better than the parlay method).

    Actually, free plays do not count in roll-overs, but any cash won and then used will -- if that is what you mean.

    I wouldn't play all 8 possibilities on 3 teams. Better to play random 3-teamers (or bet ones that are slightly off-market). You might have a bit more variance, but you're also more likely to keep getting freeplays at the book if you bust out.
