    Are there any "tricks" to freeplays??

    Baseball killed me, so its time to load up for football. Ive been looking around at promos and saw some good freeplay options. Now I don't know if this if "frowned" upon, but I was thinking of the best way to take advantage of freeplay money. Thinking play both sides (one on another book with close odds) to guarantee "unlocking it". Does this make sense, or is common practice? If so, are there any other strategies or anything I can try to get the most out of bonuses?

    You're simply betting against yourself to garantee some cash to play with. I suppose if they both no deposit offers it makes sense to gaurantee yourself some cash but if these are deposit freeplays it's an insane move.

    Roll over can be kinda easy to meet if you're an active bettor, howver most not all aloow you to play the casino(which obviously does not count towards RO) but I like to try to reach the amount need for roll over in the casino. then place some bets.

    Just be careful with the Free Play rules. Some Books(DSI, Bookmaker) have a push as a loss on a Free Play. Only play stuff there where a decision on a game is assured, and there can't be a push.

    Playing the 8x3 teams is a good way to never get a free play from that book again. Just bet something with a high payout, and break into into small pieces if you are concerned about variance.

    This^ And preferably in parlays. You want to go for the biggest payout allowed on the FP (you can offset elsewhere to lock in a profit). You should be able to get 70-80% cash on that FP if you bet and hedge properly.

    You should get closer to 75%. The easiest example has already been given--make a round robin of three teamers with your FP (8 bets at 1 unit each) guarantees that you'll get 6 units back (75%) on the one winner.

    These are the posted rules, for freeplay use, at ***************. I'd assume this is pretty standard

    5.A customer must use all his available free plays before taking a payout. Customers must use all available bonuses before receiving any additional bonus.
    6.Free plays are to be used only for straight bets, teasers and parlays. The maximum number of picks for a free play parlay is 2.
    7.The maximum free play parlay payout is $5,000
    8.Free plays may not be used for props or futures.
    9.Customers may not use free plays to play both sides of a game or contest or the over and under in the same game or contest.

    The only problem with this method is i use a large variety of places Hedge, and places like justbet or easystreet dont even allow u to parlay these things, even BetIslands only allow max 2 teams. But i guess i can do it at places like bookmaker and rebatewager.

    at rebatewager u should be taking advantage of 50% cashback not an upfront bonus imo

    who can beat no bonus and no rollover and if u bust out they hand u 50% cash back with 5X roll.. hard to beat that (but their lines suck)
