Do most books that offer deposit bonuses have a x10 rollover? Secondly it is somewhat cheap, but to make that go by faster could you bet on both sides of a spread - basically breaking even to get through the rollover quicker or will the book most likely notice and do something about it.

So you want to pay the vig twice?Comment -
???Comment -
Did you ever consider that if you did bet both sides and cleared the 10x rollover you would have the same amount you deposited?Comment -
True but it would then be mine. I could withdraw it then. Its not yours till you have cleared the rollover correct?Comment -
Most books wouldn't count betting both sides towards the rollover. Many books would probably be pissed off about both sides of the same game even if bonus rollovers weren't involved.Comment -
True, I believe one guy tried that with BetUs. check the review/complaint/detail section. They only honored the amount of one side....
Technically he might be able to avoid the vig if he can find matches that are 'even' odds...Comment -
You would be begging for account closure and seizure of bonus+proceeds for such blatant abuse of a bonus scheme.
If you must pursue this path, open an account there and one elsewhere and dutch one vs the other for similar effect albeit working a pair of WRs out simultaneously.Comment -
People are not really this dumb, are they?Comment -
Oh yes ... thankfully some of them work setting the odds for various online books (see my play for glaring example)Comment -
I thought it would look shady, but wanted to get an opinion. Do some books have it to where you have to make the bets on certain lines like no bigger than -500 or something like that?Comment -
It varies.
Some books are effective cash credits with WR, some are freeplay/SNR with winnings WR, some are are freeplay/SNR with no WR.
Some limit freeplay / SNR wagers to below +300 or +400 ... others happily allow +4100 outsider shots.
Some require it all be used in one go, others allow piecemeal ...Comment -
Read the "Rules" carefully, vary from book to book.Comment -
if in doubt, ask them and you'll have their answer in writing as it were ...Comment -
Betting both sides of a game on the same account will result in both bets not counting towards RO, a guaranteed 10% loss of the bet amount (vig lost) and possible forfeiture of bonus and/or deposit funds for violation of rules (written or unwritten).
Same logic applies when most books wont count bets on craps, roulette and baccrat towards RO, these games allow you the option of betting against yourself..in theory would be easy to bet through a 30x casino RO on these games.
Scalping works, but need to pay attention. Plenty of nice scalp opportunities out there if you know where to look. Dont both playing both sides at the same book. Heres a tip to start, MATCHBOOK..play it right and you will make the vig work for you, not the other way around. Plenty of other pro's at the scalp game posting here and sharing tips. Read and learn.Comment -
they would notice and probably not pay the rollover bonus because of it. just bet normal and try to do the impossible and roll it over 10 times.Comment -
I don't know why you're the guy is making such a big deal about the rollover. If you were planning on playing at the book anyway, you shouldn't have any problems meeting the requirement with regular betting and nothing out of the ordinary.
Just forget about the bonus and bet as you normally would.Comment -
I get the impression the bonus is moreso the reason for opening the account than actual wagering opportunities ...Comment -
A lot of sites are even 20X rollover (Sportsbook.com)Comment -
Zedbet once had a 100X WR
Comment -
100x WR thats too much I think.
If that is the rollover requirement then probably I will not join to any promotion.Comment
