    Getting Close to $100 Free Play: BetPhoenix or SportBet?

    I'm going to use my points for a $100 free play as soon as I acquire enough but I was wondering whether I should go with the BetPhoenix one, or the SportBet?

    -BetPhoenix is 375 points while SportBet is 410.
    -But SportBet has a 7x rollover on the amount of the free play ($100-->$700), whereas BetPhoenix has an 8x rollover on the amount you win from the free play (So if I won $200 I'd have to risk $1600)

    Obviously the SportBet seems like a better deal but I was just wondering if BetPhoenix may just be better than SportBet, and was looking for some input.

    Thanks!

    sportbet will allow money lines up to +500 phoenix will allow them up to +200. Phoenix has moved away from the low juice so that isn't an incentive anymore. I've taken all my sbr free plays at sportbet and not regretted it.

    Thanks for the info! That's basically all I needed to hear.

    I just had a good experience with Sportbet. Now they are backed by 5dimes, so I'd go with them. Phoenix has not been too reliable as far as server uptime lately.

    I love what the Jets have done, and I've enjoyed the Rex ryan show, but the ride comes to an end next week. That isn't hothead Rivers and moron Turner on the sidelines -- the Colts are a real team.

    I got 4 days to raise 60 points if I wanted to play that game (since they say there's a possible 2 day wait period for the money to show up), so I don't think it's gonna happen.

    I like the way you think though!

    @mtneer: I actually read your post on cashing out... didn't sound like you had a problem with it. I think SportBet is my choice. Just need about 60 more points.

    I should add, while I think the Colts will win, I like the Jets to cover an 8 point spread. They have only lost twice by more than 8 points and their defense is unbelievable. 19 touchdowns allowed all season!

    Save up and buy the cadilac,bj,there is a reason why they're more exspensive.

    Now that they are under the 5Dimes umbrella, I'd definitely say SportBet over BetPhoenix.....

    Sportbet. I cashed mine there a while ago, with no problems. Just be aware that if the bet is cancelled (eg. euro soccer and bad weather) or otherwise void/pushes, you don't get the free play back to bet again.
