500 free play no rollover or 250 dollars cash?

[seaborneq]

Which would you take? Do you chance making more with the 500 dollar free play or take the sure thing? I'm leaning towards the 250 cash

You're here because you're a gambler....you know what to do

LOL. Yep. During football season its a no brainer. Basketball season give me the cash

[reigle9]

FP. I don't know how to do it. Ask opti, he knows everything. But there's some formula where you can parlay everything and get like 2/3's back.

I don't take the cash too but I never have taken bonuses.

Nevermind I think I read that wrong

[Don_Omarion]

at this case with free play no rollover, I would take the FB because sooner or later you will bet with $250 real so why not make it $500 with nothing to lose ?

You can easily extract 300 guaranteed out of that free play.

Wow pretty sharp

Think they might ban you for this though?

not sure, probably depends on the book..I doubt you would get banned, maybe limits lowered or them keeping a closer eye on you?

honestly, I rarely if ever do it. I feel like I can make more by simply parlaying teams that I like/think will win.

[5918mike]

I lean cash but like the parlay system as well for 60%.

Actually 75%, do the FP!

Good post.

If the book has rules against it, just bet a dog at +300 or something and hedge the fave at another book for -350 for a guaranteed ~70-80% of the free play value.

Free play +300 = $500 to win $1.5k
Favorite -350 = $1,150 to win $328.5

You'll profit either $328.5 or $350 no matter what

Thanks. Everyone else just disregarded the only answer.

If the books allows you to parlay it the way Jake described, you can get around 70% back... so the $500 freeplay is worth around $350 cash.

You wont get banned for doing it if the book allows it.



If you have plenty of money in another book, you can also use the SBR Freeplay Calculator to work out what you can make hedging the freeplay against another book with real dollars.

If you have the money on another book, you can make 85% or a little better guaranteed... so the $500 freeplay would be worth $425 cash.


*Beware Of Freeplay Terms. If your book calculates rollover based on winnings from the freeplay you probably want to go the hedge route and not the round robin parlays*

There is another thread from yesterday about this subject with a bit more simple detail: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...nus-types.html

Multiple books is the way to take advantage of FP bonuses.

That's why I like him, despite his irrational Trump hate.

yep, the Aussie is a sharp punter and all around great guy

[seaborneq]

Some books won't allow parlays with free plays. I don't remember which ones off hand but it's a no go at some books. 2 teams at the most.

[pilebuck13]

Bookmaker wont

LOL... you mistake my pragmatism for hate, or even a preference either way.

If Trump makes a dumb call (as I think he did with the TPP total pullout) I can say that without hating him or being a supporter of the other side. It's only you yanks that insist 'you are either with us, or against us' on every damn issue. ;-)

Had wrong link in the post above to the Freeplay Calculator: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/pick...ue-calculator/

[reigle9]

Not me, dude. I'm on whatever side makes sense.

Plus, I just really wanted to post the roo with gloves on lol.

[seaborneq]

Bookmaker wont

BetDSI probably won't either. Can't even do an if win bet with free play

[downsouth]

Some books won't allow parlays with free plays. I don't remember which ones off hand but it's a no go at some books. 2 teams at the most.

Even at two teams 4 ways its 65%, If you are worried about book being upset by it use two different books.

I think I invented this many moons ago with the 2 teamers and 3 teamers. (kidding but it has been around for what seems like forever)

And unless something has changed recently with DSI, Bookmaker and CRIS group this has always been allowed at these shops.

[seaborneq]

I should be able to hit 3 out 5 100 dollar wagers. That's 270 versus 250. Still a big risk. 1 500 dollar bet is 450, 2 250 dollar bets requires least 1 hit.
