    When is a rollover bonus worth it? Please weight in
    I have not had to deposit in sometime.

    Looking at an NFL game this week that I want to go large on a wonder what rollover makes it worth it.

    Please give me some insight here. I know LT Profits has multiple books and shops his lines, at that point would it be worth it grab a bonus or is it a wash.

      I have never taken a bonus....not worth it as they want you to bet 78X your deposit to do anything.

          Like BOOYA said... never take a Bonus from a sportsbook..... they tie you up and you will never get a withdraw when you want it... bonus are just another game they play to keep your money.....

            Yeah I got a 500 bonus at bookmaker but my rollovers like 26k. I bet 1500 to win 100 trying to get rollover down and I didn’t realize they only credit you 100 unless you lose the bet.

              Don't take the bonus. If you are good player you will build your bankroll. If you are a bad player you will lose it all anyway so it wouldn't matter if you take bonus or not. But a lot of books will stiffarm you to get your money out if you take a bonus.

                Everyone here with the same good advice. Experienced gamblers will never take the bonus

                  Picks, u have to do the math. If u think the Bonus value is > the EXPECTED losses you'll incur, then it's worth it.

                  Not trying to be trite. It's a good question. Just need to figure out if it's worth your time + effort.

                    If you’re a professional it’s free money what are you do is bet the other side at low juice books to complete the rollover

                      I take bonuses at most of my shops. Pretty easy rollover and no hold on funds. Shops like Bookmaker show you the rollover calculator and updates after every wager is graded so you can see how much rollover remains.

                      never take bonuses from places like betonline. They hold your funds for 30 days. No withdrawals allowed. I like to withdraw when I win

                        You're even dumber than I thought, and that's saying a lot.
