Do free play wagers just happen to push more than regular bets?????

free plays never push. because you should never choose a single thing that can push!

So are you saying that there is a better chance that a free play will push versus a normal wager???? I don't worry about that scenario when I make a regular bet

you need to start never playing anything that can push

even if the odds are the same regular vs free play (which it is) you dont want to forfeit free play amounts ever on FREE plays. so never choose a game that can push on a free play and your push rate on free plays will be 0%. regular plays do what your doing now who cares if you push a regular play

but free plays should actually if allowed be 2 or 3 team parlays anyway never a straight up play, unless rules only allow straight plays, and if they do then play small money lines above +130 or so.

I think this is my last time ever doing it. Just too random ofa number to miss. If only the lottery was as easy to push as a freeplay

Bet one for bait and middle around it with live play and you will harvest big time or tell me you are playing a free play on an even number and I will middle around it and that will solve your problem because it will never push again and I will never hit the middle.

How often do games push???? I took OSU+5 today. What are the chances that it falls right on 5???? Lesson learned. The randomness of a push on a freeplay is NOT so random.

Freeplay only mathematically correct to take long shot dogs. Choose wisely and take the +EV bet. You lose nothing lost, but if you win you hit the jackpot

Downside is if you win big at a shaky out - someplace it would be hard to collect at. A lot of places have +140, +160, +200 limitations, etc. Let's say it is totally free - free play - all the money in the account is that free play and you are trying to put something in your pocket. In that instance, I wouldn't argue with a point spread bet (even though it is worth about 50 cents on the dollar) though it is poor value I would rather have some real money in my account to try to build up to something I could cash in.
