    Most books if not all do not allow moneylines +200 or more or -200 or more to be used on free plays. Pretty standard.

    i'm guessing they want to minimize your profit as much as possible on fp bc on spread you would lose juice in there also. thats just strictly a guess tho..

    well, they dont allow them on ANY moneylines. + or -

    and Heritage, 5dimes, Jamaica all allow freeplay wagers on any moneyline... so im not sure what books you are playing at.

    didnt say i disagreed with you..and maybe other books do offer but i'm just wondering why they wouldnt do it. also maybe if they dont want plus ml to be played, they make it for both just to not cause any confusions...

    Bet Phoenix was for sure the + or - 200 deal. I thought a couple others were too. Maybe I was mistaken on the # of them. But yeah, they don't want you breaking them for big money on a big moneyline.

    profane, also if you use the freeplay on a parlay make sure to buy the half point if the spread is on number because pushes lose.

    good point DL... they are one of the few books who have that rule on freeplays....another horseshit rule that goes against the player... I'm starting to remember why I stopped depositing there...

    it's rare, but there are some books that only allow free plays to be played on -110 only. it MUST be the spread. i know it sucks, but some books do this.. this is stupid.
