    Bonuses-What do you think?
    I would like your points of view on this.

    Bonuses are they worth it for rec. players? It seems like they are just a hassle for people like me who only like to bet 20-50 $ per game.

    Every month I make about a $500 deposit into my sportsbetting account. Lets say I get a 25% reload with a 10x rollover on the deposit + bonus is would have to wager $6250 before cashing out seems like more of a good thing for the book rather then the player if you ask me.

    What do you think?

    Bonus w/ more then 3X rollover are not worth it in my opimion. I would rather look for free or low cost payouts and horse rebates w/ no roll over like BetOnline has.

          I like the free bets that books like Will Hill offer

          Ok only £10 snr freebies but they do mount up

          Unfortunately they seem to have dried up now but I reckon I have had over £1500 in free bets from this book over the last 8 months or so

          Also no rollover on any winnings you might make from them.

            They're only bad if you have a problem rolling over. I have never had that problem. If your rollover is 6250 and you're betting 50 a day then that might take awhile.

                i used to decline any bonus.., bonus makes you lost your money very often..., right now, due to economy, i ask for bonus just in case i want to wager in more games..., but usually i stay away from them... as you said, they're a hassle.

                Also depends on the rollover requirements.., 10x sounds a lot to me...

                Great avatar by the way!!!

                    Bunch of fools in this thread.

                    If you're constantly reloading your account, it means your balance has fallen to zero. If you took the bonus you would have to reload less often. Rollover doesn't mean anything unless you're picking winners.

                      I rarely if ever take bonuses. The fewer the restriction on my $ the better. I don't blame anyone for taking a bonus this is what works for me.

                      Just want to add find a reduced juice book/s this is the "bonus" that keeps on giving.

                                I guess it all depends on what kind of player you are.

                                  From what I gathered the only people that have problems with the shadier books are the ones generally who take their bonuses. I guess I don't need a "bonus" to win long term, but I can see it does help some.

                                  My "bonus" is a reputable reduced juice shop.

                                  I usually don't withdraw until after seasons end, however I like to have the option if I want to move it around when I want to move it around etc.. As spoken some make their money grindin' out bonuses each to their own.

                                      Here in europe bonuses are better that americans bookies, and for me are very very important. I don´t try to win too many money for year so with the money of the bonuses i am happy. The day i´ll try to win the bookies odds will be more important for me than bonuses, i hope that day comes soon.
