Questions on Freeplays...Info Needed

[awhitejackson]

I might buy a 100 dollar freeplay from the store....Have a few questions here...


What is a Free Play?
Free-play money is the amount a player can wager where only winnings can be returned. For example, if you win a $100 free-play bet on a +105 wager, you will net $105. Unlike a cash bet where $205 would be returned to your balance, the amount of free-play risked will not accompany the winnings credited to your account.
1. Say you hit the $105 in the example above and put all of that again on another bet, does it now becomes a cash bet because you are using the winnings from the earlier freeplay???

2. Do 3-4 team parleys count with freeplay????

Any other information would help...thanks

Make sure you read carefully the free play rules at which ever site you use. Different sites have different rules at to what plays are allowed. Besides that you got it right. Once you win the free play it plays as cash.

The rules for rollovers are listed for each book...If the software lets parlay, it should be good. At a few books you have to rollover the winnings which makes +money bets such as parlays undesirable.

Be careful about this... With Phoenix, in the fine print rules it states no odds higher than +200 for a straight wager free play. I made one at +300 and then saw that rule . I called and asked why the software would allow it ----- I was told they had no way to stop it...... I then asked if it wins would the software also allow the +300 payoff.... I was told "no -- the payoff would be +200" They were kind enough to let me cancel the bet, but I think it's strange that they let you make the bet and do not even give a warning because of the software, but the same software is good enough to limit the payoff to +200.

Oh they can give you a warning that your bet is no good, they just don't.

When it comes to the actual betting they need to leave it up to the software. WagerChief has rules that you can't parlay FPs over 3 teams but they'll probably end up having to honor them all.

I didn't try to fight the system.. The system allowed the bet with no warning . It wasn't until after the bet was made and accepted that I found the fine print rule on another page of the site.
