    You'd take $150 cash bonus over a $250 free play bonus, right?

    Would you?

    More than likely no I'd take the 250 and blow it like most the money I put in here. Guess thats why I'm a degenerate gambler though.

    Gotta go 150 cash here. With a 250 fp you need to hit a -165 game to just get to 150 cash.

    rule of thumb... FP has a cash value of 75%... so a $250 FP = 187.50 cash

    One would need to factor in the rollover as well. In this case the rollover would be based on $187

    Rollover only matters if the book will toss you, or give you ridiculous limits. Every book out there offers some value, some where. As long as they don't jerk you around (with limits or bonus cancellations), the book offers value.

    The rollover for the $150 cash bonus is 5x so $750.
    The rollover for the $250 free play bonus is 6x, the lesser of the win/risk amount.

    I would rather take 250$ freeplay, it is worth more than 150$ cash.

    I'd take the freeplay and bet it on a big dog ML.

    Cash is better. One less risky bet you have to roll over.

    It's kind of on the borderline, to get a 75% return on the original amount of the FP you'd have to hit parlays, not +200 dogs (while arbing the other side), plenty of variance in hitting parlays.

    if you like to bet sriaght up, cash is better... you like to mix up with parlays, FP is better.

    CORRECT

    The 250 FREEPLAY IS BETTER THAN 150 CASH........it certain situations, the freeplay is worth even more than this.

    I never understand why someone would ever say this in this scenario, yet they do it all the time. If someone were to offer you $150, or $187 both with an 8x rollover, which one would you choose? You drunk, kid?

    I think it would be based on what type of bets you normally make. If you are doing parlays then the free play is worth more.
