100% freeplay or 50% cash bonus

[midnight777]

which one is best to go with>??

[gangeriver]

it's depend on the your odds choice...if you prefer to -110 and dog sides (for exp +100 and over) Free Play is better for you.
if you often prefer to favorites cash is better for you.

which book offered? Betus??

[djefferis]

Depends on many variables..as mentioned, if you play dogs, Free Play is better..

Can you turn the free play into cash via playing 3 parlays w/no possibility of push method..yield is somewhere around 78% cash I think. Of course certain books consider this cheating.

If the book in questions is Phoenix/Mania/WagerChief then the FP only requires a roll if you win..but then 8x on the win amount. Also has restrictions to 3 team parlay/teasers and +/- 200 or less only, no putting it all on the Pirates to win the WS futures.

Depends on the book, conditions but all things being equal, cash of 60% or better beats 100% FP in most cases to me. Unless there is a good reason to take the cash, take the FP.

Forget the parlay bullcrap

Just scalp the freeplay out with another book(matchbook) by betting a very large underdog of at least +370

The freeplay will net one 78% at worst

[franky]

do not...

Do not take the freeplay bonus, take the cash bonus, it is smaller but it is simple ti use. Please believe me.

Wrong

[PureGuava]

freeplay usually has more rollover

[mtneer1212]

BetPhoenix will not only you to use a freeplay for dogs higher than +200 or favs bigger than -200

[yobinad]

Diamond

[Ace_of_Spades]

Cash is better. FP are twice the risk.

[rm18]

Freeplay and put in the 3 team parlays. Phoenix offered me $150 cash bonus or $200 freeplay, they were surprised I wanted the freeplay but then I hit one and made $311 off of it

[vitalyo]

Diamond

[trixtrix]

read the fine print on the freeplay bonus, for example justbet fp bonus is worth at most 50c on the dollar, you are much better off taking a cash bonus for less playthru

[Fishhead]

I'm glad many of you believe that taking cash is better.............


Makes my life a whole lot better.


Thanks,
FH


ps- Freeplay is far better

[vitalyo]

The freeplay will net one 78% at worst

And what if the dog wins ? He will lose his own money .Just few backs but it's loss instead of guaranteed 50% cash .

[jackkkk2009]

I will always prefer cash bonus than freeplay. BC when freeplay wager is push, then you will get nothing and also have to rollover for it. that's not worth.

[Btgorilla]

i always prefer Freeplay personally because i could lose half my games and still turn half into cash. i really don't care about rollovers, most of the time i leave my money in the book for at least 30 or 60 days anyways but if your like some of my friends and want to drop as fast as they can and pull the money out in like 2 weeks or less then i'd go with cash.

[Fishhead]

WRONG!

Your betting the DOG with the freeplay!

AGAIN, A $100 FREEPLAY IS EQUAL TO $75-$80 CASH IF ONE IS ALLOWED TO WAGER LARGE UNDERDOGS WITH IT.


IF one is taking 50 bucks cash instead of a 100 freeplay, they are making a huge mistake.

What a rule? Good for Diamond, very bad for their customers.
Thanks for your post.

[Santo]

Freeplays are the better choice, but it's always worth reading the books specific rules so you can maximise their value.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Freeplay and put in the 3 team parlays. Phoenix offered me $150 cash bonus or $200 freeplay, they were surprised I wanted the freeplay but then I hit one and made $311 off of it

Would have taken the cash, would have won the entire wager, not just the winnings.

which reputable books allow +370 dogs on free plays?

[Hareeba!]

which reputable books allow +370 dogs on free plays?

not as many as used to it seems, unfortunately, as what Fishhead and Santo have said is dead right

I have one at present with CRIS but it is limited to specific sports and lines up to +300 I think, so I am looking for an opportunity to back a +300 dog with them and invest the potential profit on the other side elsewhere and hopefully turn most of the freeplay into cash if the favourite wins.

To my mind that is a far better strategy than taking a 50% cash bonus with rollover attached.

[Fishhead]

Many


BETJAM for starters

i have always been given cash bonuses at bet jm, didn't even know you could get free play. what percentage fps do they offer? as a proffesional gambler, like yourself, how do you get bonuses??? do you lose on purpose at rec books and scalp, realize all your profits at matchbook? multiple accounts? thanks for the info.

scalp the freeplay using matchbook buddy

[michalis]

sorry to sound like a newbie, but what exactly is scalping?

[LUCKYCHUCK]

if you with cash bonus then your bets arent limited

[Hareeba!]

if you with cash bonus then your bets arent limited

but your profit is

[uva3021]

sorry to sound like a newbie, but what exactly is scalping?

playing both sides and guaranteeing profit

freeplay is only worth more to those worried about losing the cash, cash is better if you pick winners

[Hareeba!]

sorry to sound like a newbie, but what exactly is scalping?

refer my previous post for an example

since then to follow up on it, I have placed my freebet at +279 and put the potential profit on the other side at -278

if the favourite wins I've turned by freebet into cash at 100%+

if the dog wins I break even

more often than not the favourite wins so the strategy easily beats taking a 50% cash bonus

Even under a +/-200 Limit; you can convert into $70 or even hedge and gaurentee 50-60 -
