can't remember which other one also gave 500 and I believe two had 250. plus rivers and sugar has a NFL contest that cost 125 for an entry and then increased to 150. just pick the winners in all the Sunday games. I bought 6 three from each and hit on two of them and like I already wrote it ended up about at a push. however with three weeks left I was in the $3000 category at Rivers, had a bad couple of weeks and dropped but it was fun because the possibility of big money is there. top prizes were high.
free bets are given out with a one time roll compare that to offshore. plus you don't have to listen to bs from people who don't give a shit, you don't need to be concerned about getting paid or a joint simply closing, how many times did that happen?
IMO it is a great deal and it will be even better because these shops have a limited amount of potential customers. think about it 7 shops right now competing for the business in PA. use your head it is simple economics.
also I think it is just a matter of time until one of these books decides to place a 108 or lower vig, that is what will move people to their shop. and the limits are high.
