    Is this the "right" way to use freeplays
    the sportsbook freeplays you can buy in the SBR store are limited to straight wagers or 3 team parlays (until rolled over). as you all know a 3 team parlay pays 6:1.........so here is two scenarios starting with $110 freeplay

    FREEPLAY STRAIGHT WAGERS
    wager 1: $0 ($110 fp) to make $100
    wager 2: $100 to make $91
    wager 3: $191 to make $173
    total: $364

    3-team $110 freeplay parlay
    $0 ($110 fp) to win $660
    total: $660

    you went 3-0 in both scenarios but because you didnt get the risk money in the first bet of the straight wagers, you brought home half of what you would with cash wagers. so in freeplays parlays are better because inside the parlay the risk money keeps multiplying......so the best thing to do is split your freeplay into a series of 3-team parlays

    its possible to lock in a certain amount on your freeplay by parlaying every possible combo in a 3 game scenario. certain books have no problem with you doing this.

    but of course you drastically reduce the "potential" winnings you could have had on the freeplay.


    I tend to play alot of +105-+200 dogs and do 2-3 team parlays when using my freeplays

      the longer shots you put in the more value you get, if you do not have to win you can put in 8 team parlays to get better odds

            yes they do have different rules. i just checked it, smaller risk 4-team parlays give even better odds.......i just cancelled my freeplay on live chat thanks to your info rm. now im going to save up for a "no crappy restrictions" freeplay

                sportbet, i already have an account there. they also let you parlay NBA props (not in the same game though). i figure that 250 freeplay is equal to about $175 cash if you use it correctly
