    How do free plays work?
    I just posted up at BetJam and asked if I had any free plays (thanks unluckysob) while I was on the phone. The guy said he would add them. Checking the account now, I have $75 in free plays. But I have no clue how it works. How do I bet this money? Can I break it into any increments I want? If I win a free play bet, what happens?

          if you win a free play the money goes into your account...if you lose...it costs you nothing...just the free play amount wagered...

          You do not have to bet it all at once...will be a little box asking you if you want to use free play money...

            a freeplay is simply a bet one can make and if you win the free play amount you bet will turn into cash. For instance if you had a free play amount of 100 dollars. and you bet 55/50 on a NFL game today. if you won 50 dollars would turn into actual cash in your account. and youd have 45 dollars remaining in freeplay.

              Freeplays are a free bet, you can use it in any increments, if it wins you are credited with the WIN amount, if it loses, its deducted from your free play balance. You do NOT get the freeplay money PLUS the winnings... ONLY the winnings, I only take cash bonuses, free play sucks IMO...

                Thanks guys. I'm placing bets now and I think I've got it down. I found the free play box. Just took me a little while.

                By the way Major, I didn't sign up for free plays. Apparently this is just a hidden bonus at BetJam. Unluckysob mentioned having to ask for it from BetJam in a previous thread so I figured I'd give it a shot. If I hadn't asked the guy it wouldn't have been added. I still got the 15% reload bonus, and a 20% initial deposit bonus when I first opened the account.

                  Also from a thread search I saw it mentioned before that you should use the free play money only for longshots and parlays. Sounds like good advice. Anybody have thoughts on that?

                    I use it for parlays if I get it... My point was a lot of books offer their bonuses as free plays, and I dont like having say a 6X roll over on free play. Cash is 100% better...

                      The reason it is better for dogs with free play is very simple...example you bet (this is just an example not a real line today)

                      yankees -360... so if you bet $36 of your freeplay money to win $10...if you win out of the $36 bet you get only the $10 added.

                      Now if you take pretend again... +360 on a $10 freeplay bet you get $36 added if it wins!

                          I see what you're saying G. You spend $36 free play and that is gone for good win or lose, but you only get $10 real money out of it if you win. It also makes sense to use the free play money on your most risky bets.

                            I popped my free play cherry with a little 2 teamer - ORE +135 and SFG -130. $25 pays about $80 if it wins.
