Anyone who chooses the cash bonus is a moron, unless the book only lets you bet the FP at -110 or something like that.

Anyone who takes Cash Bonus is a retard

so basically you have $25 x 5x= $125 wagered to be released
You can take the free play and at the least bet it on a -110 and if you win you now have $46 cash vs the $25.

You can't just look at what you get if you win the FP pal.

FP = 0.70*(Cash Bonus) if you're lazy, maybe 0.75(Cash Bonus) if you shop a lot.
So 50% freeplay = 35% cash bonus.

The only difference is the rollover will be slightly higher on the freeplay option. If you deposit $1000, your rollover is 1500x5 = 7500. As opposed to the cash bonus where rollover is 1250x5 = 6250.

The extra bonus % is worth it pal.

obviously free play, then use free play calculator if they don't allow 3 team parlay 8 ways.

I Just had a brain fart, i was considering when the rollover starts. IE when the freeplay becomes cash.

Mikail · 05-10-10, 11:07 PM

freeplay

When was last time you saw a baseball total push on 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, or a team lose by exactly 3.5 points?

eidolon · 05-10-10, 11:56 PM

under 7.5, 9.5, over 8.5. GO!

DwightShrute · 05-11-10, 12:08 AM

Because only about half the people on this forum know what the hell they're talking about.

The 50% freeplay is far and away the better choice.

Fishhead, Any intricate plan on what to do once you get the free play?

$50 cash
$100 freeplay

Scalp it out and your $100 freeplay INSTANTLY turns into $70-$100 cash.

Thus, would you rather have the $50 cash bonus or $70-100 cash???????????

I like these threads because it makes it clear who on the forum has a clue and who doesn't.

1] They do not have the same rollover.
2] Even if they had the same rollover, why are you taking the cash??

Fishhead · 05-11-10, 08:54 AM

$100 FREEPLAY

100 FP @+320...........0 to win 320

$230 @ -320.............224 to win 70

In the above scenario, one just turned their $100 freeplay into $96 or $70

Thus, if offered a $100 freeplay or $50 cash, which would you prefer??????????

How would that work with 5X rollover?

Sorry, I must have had one too many and read it wrong

I read it as 25% cash or 25% free play and both a 5X rollover and thus the No brainer comment

Thanks for calling me on that. I have been taking care of accounts for players for many years and adding these bonuses all the time.

They are both about equal then IMO, I prefer the free play bonus even though you only get the winnings from the free play bet, you still have more to work with.

Best to check the rules of the cash and Free play where they are offered. Some places limits the types of bets you can make with the bonus monies. If you are a parlay bettor only, then the cash bonus will be a better option because most books don't allow parlays on free plays.

In short, there is no clear cut winner here, it depends on you and your betting style.

Personally, I take the 50% free play

Unicorn7 · 05-11-10, 10:52 AM

50% free play

this rake is a peculiar fella

sometimes disappears when tending to multiple ghost but a good poster to consider an sbr brother

thats all I have to say- now have a great day!

stealthyburrito · 05-11-10, 10:55 AM

of course the 50% freeplay
