    If you have a good idea how many bets you will average a week, and when you think you may want to be able to withdraw by, calculate a maximum rollover that will suit you and start from there.

    if you make 10 x $100 football bets per week and want the option to withdraw by Xmas. That's 16 weeks, so about 16k rollover maximum. That should be your starting point to decide what suits best.

    If you are just a regular bettor and wont be round robin parlaying the freeplay, or hedging it against another book etc, just treat it like being worth half as much as cash.

    Im sorta struggling with should I take the 150% Free Play
    or the 100% Cash. Maybe like you are saying it comes down
    to a rollover you can live with. Maybe some of the other bonus
    players have some thoughts

    If the freeplay deal does not include rollover based on winnings from it. Then it looks like the best deal on those numbers.

    As long as the book allows you to bet the freeplay in the way you want to bet anyway.

    I just called and asked and none of the rollover is based on the winnings from the free play.

    $1,000 deposit & 1,500 in free play 2,500 x 10 (25,000 in rollover)

    Sounds like the best math choice for you.

    40k rollover for a $2000 cash balance v 25k rollover with ~ $1750 balance equivalent going with freeplay.

    I'd go freeplay too.

    I like cash better if the bonus amount is larger then my average bet size. Free play forces you to gamble on one bet.

    Having said that I usually don't mess with bonuses. However I did accept a 50% at 5x rollover from GTBets after losing most of my balance.

    I don't care about ROs so I would take the 100% cash. But if you are worried about meeting the RO than take the 150% FP. 150% FP is equivalent to about 80-90% cash bonus if used correctly.
    BTW, who are these 3 books that are offering these bonuses. It would help us in giving advice...
