        I'd turn around and go home.

        Anyway, this is another troll thread brought to you by illfuuptn. Hopefully he'll be banned soon like his "roommate" was.

        I made one here.

        Since I'm not sure why someone would be buying freeplays, let's use sportsbook cash, at the current pro prices (they go up next month):

        5855 gets you about $500 in 5 Dimes cash or about $300 in gift cards.

          if you're not sure why someone would be buying freeplays you're not taking full advantage

          i just bought a $100 betphoenix freeplay for 466, $50 cash is 508 and the freeplay is worth more if you put it on a moneyline dog

          example:
          want edmonton in nhl +190
          1) use points to buy $50 cash, bet it on edmonton and you have 145 if it hits
          2) use less points to buy $100 freeplay, bet it on edmonton and you have 190 if it hits

          and when you're using smaller numbers like this the 8x rollover shouldn't matter

            freeplays have a lot of extra terms related to them, aside from the additional rollover.

                like what?
                from what i know (which often times isn't much) the only additional restriction on the betphoenix freeplay vs cash is that moneylines more than +200 or more than -200 don't count toward the rollover.

                  mike, ties losing at some books and much more.

                  Many books also only allow freeplays on certain things (like sides/totals only for football/basketball, ML/total for baseball, and no soccer or props).

                        fair enough yisman

                        as long as you only bet moneylines or spreads/totals with a hook for your freeplay it shouldn't matter if ties lose. if you have money elsewhere to bet against it, then a $100 freeplay is worth $60+ while $50 in cash is worth a little less than $50 (because of the rollover).

                            No, I said I couldn't be bothered with points. I was against the idea when SBR came out with it. I qualified to be "Pro" from the onset but chose not to give my personal info to get an extra 6 points/day. 12, 6 or zero points/day, makes no difference to me.

                            And not a math genius, don't know where you got that idea.

                                          who cares if you dont have 200 bucks in a sports book. so f*ckin what??!?!?! who cares what some random fruitcakes on the internet think about you....use this site for whatever you wanna use it for....so many people lose at this that it can commonly be looked at as a good thing to not have 200$ in a sportsbook

                                          i was worried about the personal info at first too but then sbrjohn reassured me they are very classy and responsible with the information. that plus we already give them the info in any contest we enter- as to what our account info is etc...no brainer. extra benefits...dont have to pay anything for it....if you dont quality you dont qualify...who cares?? thats fine ya kno.

                                              exactly why I don't enter any of them, I tend to be very careful on the net, but glitch, you will never find a site that says that they are careless with your personal info

                                                  this is true. but this sbrjohn guy. i believe him. hes really forthcoming and trustworthy. im not kissing ass either- he is.

                                                  honestly i was scared to become an sbrpro for a couple weeks because of the info disclosure but i came around. too many benefits and a semi-unfounded fear (for contest enterers anyway)...i have accounts at maybe 25 books and not one of them have knocked on my door with a baseball bat yet.....yet.
