Which is better: $350 Cash or $750 Freeplay

[Garland Baseball]

Hey smart guy, do all eight scenarios of a 3-team parlay and convert $750 to $562 with no risk.

So you think turning a $750 free play into $562 cash is better than you can do with a cash bankroll of $350???

LMAO....You're better off playing the lotto pal, I'll stick to picking winners.

Damn, you are an idiot. Is 562 more than 350? Maybe not in your world. Dipshit.

[ayuntalo]

**** you guy's are stupid...

15 straight $50 winners on a FP nets you $750

15 straight $50 winners on top of your $350 cash bonus nets you 1,050

1,050 >750

Do you guys even gamble or just watch JJ videos?

dont preach your ignorance sir, leave something for yourself

I cannot believe someone could be that stupid. He needs to ditch this name and re-register a new one because he will forever be a joke here.

I heard this place was full of 12yr olds and know I'm convinced...

Same bets that it takes you and your Dad to turn $750 into $562, and play that on a $350 cash acct. and then see which bank is bigger...

Don't tell me you made x-amount of bets on one account and now your 562 is bigger than 350 when the 350 hasn't been played

[ayuntalo]

late night laugh haha..
love it when someone call others stupid when he is the one looking real real stupid

[mtneer1212]

Does the freeplay winning count in the rollover?

[ayuntalo]

garlic baseball let me explain it to you before you continue talking nonsense..
i'll try to speak in your language so that you may perhaps understand..

what albert pujols is saying here is bet 8 all possible results of a 3 team parlay and you will come away with 562 cash no matter what happens..

so what will you prefer to start with.. 562 lollipops or 350 lollipops?

You couldn't find your ass in a phone booth, sir. Carry on.

Your bookie is one lucky mf'er.

rollover goes like this...

FREEPLAY WINNINGS x the roll over amount
[again free play winnings, not the actual free play given]

You have to remember that this $562 is made with no risk whatsoever- without caring who wins, betting all sides of 3 games in (8) 3-team parlays. So your starting point is this $562, before you make your very first decision based bet.

[Ace_of_Spades]

I'm siding with the 750 FP.

I've seen some nonsense posted in this forum but really this bloke surely can't be for real?

or can he ?

[The Bet Master]

It depends what restrictions there is on the freeplay.

[iQon]

**** you guy's are stupid...
15 straight $50 winners on a FP nets you $750
15 straight $50 winners on top of your $350 cash bonus nets you 1,050 1,050 >750 Do you guys even gamble or just watch JJ videos?

And what are the odds on this happening?

[Wulfman14]

i would take the free play. actually i am dealing with a dilemma myself right now. this one is at the sbr store. 250 dollar cash at five dimes or 750 dollar free play at bet phoenix. the variety at five dimes is amazing though and i do not consider myself sharp as this fellow rudy does. although it seems idiotic i think i would fare better with the cash at five dimes.

if both were available to me from five dimes then obviouslly the free play. taking the cash is stupid then .

[Nicky Santoro]

Wow....Surprised at the reply's.

3 - $50 bets

All win 3-0

$350 cash bonus is now $500 cash..

$750 Free play is now $600 FP and cash in hand is now $150

$500 > $150

I'll take the cash every time...

sorry kiddo, but it was tough to read this without laughing. btw, is this the new math? lol

well, we can officially rule out that Garland Baseball is a mathematician..

Sadly, as i`m sure you know from your time here, he can be.

[Wreckloose]

This was a funny thread. Bravo.

[Hareeba!]

I think we might have been somewhat unkind to Garland B
Clearly the poor chap just hasn't understood what has been said as I'm quite sure that he would agree that $562 is greater than $350.
So for the benefit of Garland and anyone else who might be similarly confused here it is in the simplest form:

Garland chooses the $350 cash option.
I choose the $750 free play.
Garland hangs back a bit as I use my free play on the no-risk parlay strategy as advised and lose 25% of it as I get a return of only $562.
Now my free play is gone. But my account has been boosted by the $562 return.
So Garland is back now and we both are ready for our next plays.
Garland has $350 to play with and no free play.
I have $562 to play with but no remaining free play.
So which strategy is better?

Very nice.

Of course, there is the matter of the rollover. Garland has a $2,800 rollover requirement and you have a $6,000 rollover requirement. That is always nullified with proper money management (and avoiding a nasty losing streak)

[kingdom]

Do most books allow you to break up a fp into 8 individual wagers?

[Hareeba!]

Very nice.

hmmm, fair point but is that totally accurate?
not familiar with what rules apply at each book but I thought generally only the return from a FP has to be rolled over?
so that would make it $4496 rather than $6000

[Mattn3236]

$750 roll over. You will lose the $350 and wish you had the other $400. Speaking like a real degenerate.

Not sure as I have really only played at two books in my life and one of them is BoDog and, well, LOL at getting a bonus there.

the FP is still a better deal. if you roll over 2800, at 4.54% losing, you'd give back 127$ of the 350$, thus leaving you with 223$ clear.

if you cleared 562$ and you roll over 6,000$, at 4.54% giving the book, you'd give back 272$, thus leaving you with 290$ clear..

still the FP is a better deal. 290$>223$

[nenad]

750 freeplay better

[lukahh]

be careful with the book - if it's no name, don't take the gift in exchange for deposit.

[RonPaul2008]

**** you guy's are stupid...

15 straight $50 winners on a FP nets you $750

15 straight $50 winners on top of your $350 cash bonus nets you 1,050

1,050 >750

Do you guys even gamble or just watch JJ videos?

You would be unwise to use a free play on a straight -110 bet.
If you use it right it is really easy to get 70% or more of the free play value.

For instance... take the 750 free play and put it on a +500 moneyline.
Then play the other side at Matchbook or something and get something like -525.

so... the free play to win $3750
then @ -525... $3150 to win 600

Bang, you have $600 instead of $350.

In this case you got 80% and if you wait for the best opportunities you might be able to get this or better...
In my experience about 70% is easy to obtain.

[Augustus]

That depends on the sportsbook you are using. If you are using the Bookmaker family, your freeplays are not allowed on the same team twice. Bet 8 all possible results of a 3 team parlay, you are smart. But, the sportsbooks are not idiot. Check with them before they give you trouble.

Wrong. I just read Bookmaker's rules on freeplays, and DSI as well. Nothing at all wrong with doing this.

[Greekbet]

It is almost the same amount for me.
I think cash is better,cause you have money not just a free play.

so which part of the free play strategy which gives you more than $350 do you not agree with?

[Czu81]

This thread was a funny one.

Did you read the part at DSI where ties lose?Just a heads up from expierience.
