    If I have a $300 freeplay, I wager it all and lose, will I still need to complete the 20x rollover to withdrawl te $300 in actual money inu account? This is the betdsi 100% bonus

    Yes. Better to lose it all, that way you won't have to withdraw.

          Well..let me ask you this, Have tou ever heard of freerolling?

          That is exactly what you would be doing if not required to play through with your posted up funds...ie. I deposit 300 and get the 300 free play..I bet only my freeplay, do you think the book would just let me walk with my original stake back and no further action?

          Take it a step further..I have a strong play on side a over b...a is-150 tonight, b is +130...so why wouldnt I bet my post up funds 300 to receive 450 back..then hedge with a 300 freeplay on b- 300 to receive 390..either way I win..and without a roll if A wins..its a free 150 cash betting a fave. Worst case I'd be up 90 with a roll to complete.

            Not a dumb question, as many novice bettors dont understand free play.

            Also, keep in mind many free plays (including DSI/CRIS) are 1 time use only..ie you bet on the RedSox, they get rained out...you lose the free play or you bet football and its a push..same thing.

            Freeplay should only be used on events that are certain to occur and where a push ia not possible(IE half point spread or total)

                  Another dumb question if I may. Does the freeplay money become actual money in my account? For example, if I bet my 300 freeplay, and win 300, does 300 get added to my balance, or 600?

                    it's just whatever you won off the freeplay. you should also know that you don't have to bet the freeplay all on one game. you could select 6 teams enter amount 50 and select freeplay. I used think you always had to bet the freeplay on one play.

                        The smart way to cash a free play is to bet (16) four team round robin parlays. Guaranteed to hit one for 76% profit. If a game gets rained out, you won't lose the free play. It will simply be knocked down to a three team parlay.

                          Where would I find more detail of the maths behind this? Thanks

                            Another piece of advice is to make sure you don't waste your freeplay on something that might end in a tie. Say a first 5 inning line, or if it was a point spread on a whole number (eg. -2, -3, +3, +2).

                              That's why they give em out. I usually turn down any bonus. There not fiscally prudent. There for suckers and losers.
