Best way to maximize free match bet?

[DJK]

If a sportsbook is giving you a free bet up to $500, then is there a way to bet your own $500 cash with the free bet so that you come out ahead no matter what happens?

If you bet on one team with your $500 and bet free $500 on the opposite team, then you are guaranteed winning only if your own money bet wins. If the free bet wins, then you are losing the juice as it only protects the loss of your own money bet.

Is there a better way to bet, so you come out ahead no matter what happens to the game?

do they let you parlay the freebet?

if so that is the way to go. always parlay freeplays

I will have to look it up if they allow a parlay, but can you please give an example?

I think what you've suggested is the best possible way to do it, but I am interested to see if anyone else has idea

long story short

$100 freeplay straight wagers. if you go 3-0:

$100 to end up with $100
$100 to end up with $200
$200 to end up with $400



$100 freebet 3 team parlay

$100 to end up with $600



same 3 picks. parlayed pays much more

If they allow it you parlay it 3 teams/totals with half point lines in all combos. SBR used to allow it not sure they still do. You get 75% of your free play back. If they do not allow that which they might not then just parlay your free play and try to max out the profits.

But if you get all three picks wrong, then you win nothing.

If you also lose your original bet of $500 of your own money, then you are out $500.

I'm thinking there must be a way to bet to guarantee a winning no matter what happens to any of the games.

See post #7. SBR used to allow not sure if your book does. Probably not have not been offshore in a while. Only way to guarantee a certain profit that I know of.

Ok, doing the 3 team parlays with the half point lines to guarantee that there are no pushes will win 75% of the free bet amount.

However, doing the same with your own money will guarantee $125 loss, so the net win is $250 which is guaranteed.

That is actually a very good idea.

match bet or free play?

If it's a free play and they allow parlays, then betting three teamers all ways is correct. There are 6 teams and 8 betting combinations. Make sure they are NOT whole numbers - you need to bet 7.5 vs 8 for this to work. Divide the stake up into 8 equal bets and place them all. 1 will win the rest will lose. https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...ay-method.html

This is the only sure way to turn your free play into cash.

Now if it's a match bet - I would just play blackjack. That's just me though.

I think this is what you are looking for.

It was mentioned above but here is a clear explanation.

Pick 3 games, and make 8 parlays covering every combination of winners. You'll be guaranteed to win on one of the parlays.

If you get 6 to 1 on three team parlays, you would turn your $50 freeplay into $37.50 cash.

If you want to have a greater risk and potentially greater reward, don't use games with -110 lines. go with hockey games and play the money lines. If the dog wins in all 3 games, you'll end up with more cash than the initial freeplay value. If all favs win, you'll have less. A combination of Fav/Dog wins, will net you about the same as if they were -110.

It's a free bet up to $500 and not a match bet option.

Thanks everyone for your input. It's so nice to have keen minds to help out fellow SBR'ers.
