    Bookmaker.eu is no good.. F+

    I know it's a free play but in all my years of betting I've never seen a push get counted as a loss.. Totally unacceptable if you ask me..

    Im going to assume you have not had many freeplays push as Im fairly certain that applies to most shops.

    Plus honestly, you never bet freeplays on things that can push. Parlays, or underdog money line winners. Betting straight up at -110 takes a lot of the value out of the freeplay.

    Well I definitely would have bought a half point.. In all my years I can honestly say I've never seen a push as a loss expect for casino night fundraiser haha

    Sad but true, you will know next time. Hope it was not a big freeplay because with a push you lose your freeplay.

    It would have made no difference even if they had marked it as a win, since there are no winnings when there is a push. The free bet stake is never returned, regardless of the bet type.

    That is standard. Pushed free play is a loss. No Actioned free play usually you get back.

    I find it funny that you went to the effort of giving them an F+

    They have screwed you over but not quite enough for a flat F

    Specifically states in their General Freeplay Rules that ties lose. Standard at most books. Bookmaker is a top tier book.

    Always read the rules before you sign up for any bonus plan

    Tough break but you'll get the next one

    Great shop. Honestly sucks if you didn't know the rules. Next time make sure all freeplays have a half point in the spread. Live and learn.

    Freeplay pushes have NEVER been counted as anything but a loss. I've been betting online as long as paypal has existed and you could use them in the U.S. to deposit offshore and that's how freeplays have always worked.

    I usually like to take guaranteed money. I find a soccer bet and take all sides: Team A, Team B and Draw. The trick is to find a game where every wager is over +150 so you are promised at least 50% of the FP value.

    So for example:

    Team A +190
    Team B +160
    Draw +255

    So if you have a $300 FP, instead of taking the risk of 0 or 330 (+110 dog), you lock up a min of $160.
