That is great news on someone that that has one with a free play.

Congrats. Nice work

Nice

topgame85 · 10-20-09, 07:01 PM

I'm right around there too trying to get a few more $ before cashing out though

mr. leisure · 10-20-09, 07:01 PM

How much did the withdraw cost ?

congrats fast rollover

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:04 PM

I had it up to 282. I asked them to withdraw the entire account. I got 250, they charged me 30 bucks for the withdrawal but since It was all free I'm fine with that.

Left me with $2.83 and that's on the yankees runline (-1.5) tonight.

I have used money gram quite a bit with bet phoenix they probably took close to thirty bucks but oh well its free money and bet phoenix is great with one day withdrawls if you call by ten a.m. you usually can get your dough by one in the afternoon. It's worth the fee.

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:07 PM

yea well actually I called them up yesterday late afternoon and woke up today and got the money.

I think most of these books tend to send out there payouts in the morning.

Although it seems they will take your money anytime.

cobalt king · 10-20-09, 07:07 PM

who did you deal with on Bet phoenix?

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:10 PM

I needed the money so I was a bit annoying, but I think Drew put the request through.

Reason I was a little annoyed is that it did not show they took the money out of my account, therefore I'm tempted to bet.

I know books do this on purpose, you ask for a payout but they keep the money in your account to see if your tempted to bet with it. I was able to not give in.

cobalt king · 10-20-09, 07:12 PM

Congrats, I have lost that battle of wills once or twice, especially on poker sites where they give you the option to cancel your cash out. Bet phoenix is supposedly making a poker program now I had them disable the casino on there for me but im interested to try there poker.

StraitShooter · 10-20-09, 07:13 PM

Would like to report a payout experience with Bet Phoenix today

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:18 PM

Yea these online casinos really ****ed me. Good thing I only lost like 20 bucks in their casino.

Be careful with the poker sites also. I used to strictly play poker online and not bet on sports at all. I did good for a while but then it was just one bad beat after another. It's very strange stuff, I remember seeing guys in the poker room 24/7 and they would not respond but they would be logged in at a table for 24/7 and still play.

It makes sense that these online books would rig the casinos and poker rooms. It's not like anybody can regulate it.

Nice!!

I will do a $100 freeplay when I reach 300 points!!

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:24 PM

You can just do a 50 dollar freeplay when you reach 165 points. It makes more sense honestly. If you hit something at -110 on a 50 dollar freeplay your gonna be left with 45 and have to do a 8x rollover with them.

It's easier to rollover a smaller amount of money then a larger amount, unless you just keep going all in.

I do think some of the books have different terms on their freeplays and cash from sbr points. For instance if you decide to save up 600 points you can get $50 cash at BetJamaica where you only need to rollover 4 times.

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:28 PM

I also think that if you do happen to get a $100 dollar freeplay you need to bet the entire amount for one bet. That is what I did because I assumed that is the case with a freeplay. I might be wrong though.

i want to do the 8 parlay thingy that assures you $63 in return

I will talk with betpheonix first to see rules and post my live chat later

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 07:53 PM

Terms for the freeplay are that you can't have more then 3 legs with parlays and 2 ways with teasers. or it might be the other way around.

either way you can't do an 8 team parlay and it's not gonna assure you 63 bucks in return anyways.

acarmelo1 · 10-20-09, 07:55 PM

i don not want to do a 8 team parlay

I want to do 8 3 team parlays

smart man

4.) Risking $100 on a 3 team parlay in which every team is involved. The key here is to find the lowest possible lines, i.e 10 cent lines. There are 8 combinations of 3 team parlays: 2^3 or:
Team A vs Team B, Team A vs Team B, Team A vs Team B where the commas denote different games.
The outcomes would either be: AAA, ABA, ABB, AAB, BBB, BBA, BAB, BAA.

To put this is real perspective today for NHL games:
Sharks -110 vs Rangers EV
Kings +128 vs Stars -138
Canucks +107 vs Oilers -117

You would then parlay each of the above scenarios 8 times. Since you have $100, divide that by the number of games (8), and you get the amount you should risk each game, or $12.50

Lets say you get unlucky tonight and all 3 favs win. You would be GUARANTEED $63.83. As in example 3, you went 7-3 and only got $63, this way, you are guaranteed that $63.

Now, what if all 3 underdogs win? You would win $105.49

Any amount to win is possible between $63- $105.

You have absolutely no risk in number 4 and you are guaranteed $63. Why not start your bankroll like this? Even if you gamble up the money, its better to have the cash than the freeplay to start out.

yup , can I do that at betpheonix??

PureGuava · 10-20-09, 08:06 PM

Oh yea, I have done this before but you have to make sure that a profit is returned. You just have to find the right lines.

You can do it with soccer also, but you have to hope that none of the three games draw.

You can do this at most reputable books including Betpho as Tweets just said.[/color]

! important]Guaranteed $63 tonight with a $100 freeplay and as much as $105 if all underdogs win. the $63 is JUST LIKE you going 7-3 with your freeplay money. You would want to do this with the cheapest lines possible

goldseeker · 10-20-09, 09:20 PM
