Any your advice is so superior???

[Hareeba!]

Hmm, this is close.. but I think the freeplay is better.
Let's say your unit size is $50, playing straight you can make:
- 7 plays with the cash
- 15 plays with the freeplay

also, let's assume you win every play you make at -110 (1.91 decimal scale):

cash:
7 plays x 1.91 = 13.37 units;
13.37 x $50 = $668.50

freeplay:
15 plays x 1.91 = 28.65 units;
28.65 - 15(freeplay) = 13.65;
13.65 x $50 = $682.50

You are looking at a 2% advantage with the freeplay.

but if you have a FP, that certainly isn't the way to use it
worth far more than a 2% advantage played correctly

far superior to any nonsense you threw in this thread.

i give which is better. its your job to figure out why.

HINT: There are a few reasons in this thread as to why

[pronk]

Turning $50 free play into $750 is piece of cake to me.

Hand some of that cake over then

Your first post in this thread:

freeplay ainec

Your second:

[COLOR=#000000 ! important] let me rephrase: if you have no clue what you are doing, its the cash

if you have a bit of sense, or any clue as to how to use the "search" function or google, then freeplays[/color]

Your third:

[COLOR=#000000 ! important] WOW After my post I woke up to 80 replies. I knew this thread had to be a classic. Did not disappoint[/color]

Your fourth:

these threads pop up once a month or so and its a good way to point out the posters who don't have a clue

Your fifth:

if you dont know what you are talking about, dont talk

Your sixth:

show me where i said how to do it in this thread?

besides if you want to hedge a moneyline bet, the book doesnt know you are doing that.

Your seventh:

and really, if you don't know what you are talking about quit giving shitty advice.

thanks

Your eight:

far superior to any nonsense you threw in this thread.

So what have you even said here? What advice have your really given? What constructive input did you provide? You said so much of absolutely nothing !!!

freeplay:
15 plays x 1.91 = 28.65 units;
28.65 - 15(freeplay) = 13.65;
13.65 x $50 = $682.50

You are looking at a 2% advantage with the freeplay.

Nobody with a clue would ever use their freeplay on a straight at -110 odds. (And the chance of winning 15 bets in a row is slim and none). Thats just throwing money away. Doing the simple (8) 3-team parlays, betting all sides of 3 games = guaranteed 75% cash ($562.50) with no risk whatsoever. Why is it so hard for some people to understand?

Your first post in this threa

so why is it you can't see what everyone else can?
i.e. he's very clearly advised the FP (except if you have NFI how to use it advantageously)

[RudyRuetigger]

nvm

[BChrisB]

so why is it you can't see what everyone else can?
i.e. he's very clearly advised the FP (except if you have NFI how to use it advantageously)

It has nothing to do with the fact that advised the FP. However, rather than constructively state as to why, he acted like an authority without any back-up. Furthermore, attacked others opinions against the FP without any statistical and/or numerical backing.

i wrote it, and i hope you got it because bigdaddy is spot on. i see no need to help people that are too lazy to look for themselves.

if 90% of people say freeplay and you say cash, maybe you should fukkin look into it more deeply instead of going after someone. its not my job to spoon feed you.



i think from now on lets just all say cash

[Bartmeister]

You are looking at a 2% advantage with the freeplay.

Your 2% advantage is TOTALLY WRONG! The guaranteed $562.50 (75% of the $750 FP) is 100% guaranteed. Again, betting (8) 3 team parlays of $93.75 each (ALL SIDES of 3 games) at 6-1 odds pays you $562.50 guaranteed and you can care less who wins or loses, go to sleep, there will be $562.50 cashed placed in your account when the games end.

you asked the question: "what advice have you really given?"

as I stated he gave advice ... and it is the correct advice

statstical or numerical back up????
FFS .. is it necessary to spell out in detail the precise steps to make the smart play every time? There are any number of easy to find references to that including in this thread with plenty of stats and numbers quoted.

as I asked before why is it you can't see what most of the rest of us can?

[HedgeHog]

This entire thread should be moved to the Think Tank. The Geeks deserve a laugh too.

[sportsfun]

probably freepay, like getting double!

[Legions36]

FREEPLay for that amount...but i like cash better

[Cookie Monster]

Really funny thread. A serious point: Check the rollover calculations with the freeplay. Betonline rollover for a FP is the higher amount of FP value and won amount. So, if you split the FP into parlays, the rollover would be the deposit + 7 * $93.75 (for the parlays lost) + $562.50 (for the one won). Still the FP is worth more than the cash, but wort considering.

[yobinad]

Free play it's better.

[dialup_king]

Even if you're limited to 2-team parlays, FP still beats cash easily. Pick any two games (preferably ones that fall on the 1/2 point to avoid pushes) and bet all 4 possibilities equally. In this case, divide your $750 FP into four parlays at $187.50 each. One of them has to win and assuming a standard 2.6:1 payout, nets you $487.50 (187.5 x 2.6 = 487.5). Obviously this is better than $350 cash.

The book can profile you as a sharp if you do this.

[CrimsonQueen]

Wow... this was the greatest laugh I've had in a while.

Just...wow. It's been spelled out a couple times in this thread and yet no one bothers to read before posting.

Pretty obvious answer here... can't believe all the people who not only think this is wrong, but are actually willing to FIGHT and start arguments that cash is better!

Agreed though, that it shouldn't be spelled out any further for the lazy... and let's all just agree that cash is better!

[davidchong]

can you do that?.... does the book permit that?

Nobody with a clue would ever use their freeplay on a straight at -110 odds. (And the chance of winning 15 bets in a row is slim and none). Thats just throwing money away.

[BChrisB]

I know with Bookmaker's platform it won't let you round robin them w/ a FB, but If you put them all in manually I don't see why not.

[Sawyer]

forget $750 FP... even $500 FP is better than 350 cash..

Why Nicky?

[alka07]

cash is the real her, i hate free play when you dont get the money you bet on the game

[gangeriver]

Why Nicky?

C'mon man!

[HedgeHog]

Why Nicky?

$550 FP is worth $375 cash, edging out $350.

[dherd]

i ll take the cash any time.

[AMBlai01]

The fact that this thread has gone on for this long is unreal...

[captrobey]

I think i would take he cash

[20Four7]

Take the free play. Even if you play it badly it will give you the best opportunity to win. PS you don't make 3 $50 straight bets.

[Metanoia]

Freeplay is so obvious

[ejfel01]

Cash play for sure.
