    20% cash bonus or $100 freeplay?
    I signed up on BetJamaica.com and you can only choose one promotion.. what would you guys go with? the 20% cash bonus ($20 since i deposited $100) or the $100 freeplay? I'm new to the world of betting lol.

    You shouldn't be betting if you can't do a little math and figure out which one is better. But since there's no stopping you now: 100 freeplay!!

    Make sure you bet the biggest dogs or parlays allowable. I think they have a +200 dog limit on betjm.

                    The freeplay is worth like 3.5x as much

                      if you are to back a dog with a $100 fp and the fav elsewhere you will need to have more than $20 on the second site
                      perhaps you can spread the $100 over more than one wager?
                      so take a succession of dogs until your balance at the second site builds up to cover it all?

                        Take the freeplay. If it was $75 cash I would tell you to take the cash.

                            I would take the freeplay, and look for a two outcome bet with as high odds as possible. You must have a decent bankroll for the other side though.

                                for you, I think the cash option is sounding the best way to go

                                  What do you guys think of betting all of the $100 freeplay on the colts (+3.5) over the patriots (-3.5)

                                    I think a good rule of thumb for converting free play value to cash is to half the free play then take off a little.

                                    $100 freeplay = about $45-$48 cash depending on book.

                                          Want to make a 4 dime deposit, should I opt for 33 percent cash from Legends or 50 percent free play from BetOnline? If the 'value' is about half as indicated in the post above, that would mean the cash is the better value?

                                                  Since your new to the online gaming scene..here are a few tips to get you started:

                                                  a. Good choice of a book in BetJm, but there are others you will need to sign up for..Matchbook, BetOnline, BetPhoenix, 5Dimes would be recommended. Also like RebateWager (50% cash on loses) and EzStreet Sports (free payouts and nice sign up offer)

                                                  b. READ THESE BOARDS..there are alot of solid cappers and resources. Don't blindly follow though..trust your own opinions...if solid cappers agree with your play, all the better.

                                                  c. Bonus hunters are not welcome everywhere, but a profitable player knows how to leverage bonus' when they are offered. There are plenty of books still hanging 100% offers..when your first starting, building your roll should be a priority. Theres 2 ways to do this, get lucky or play smartly. Play it smart and a small investment of $600 or so to start can get you an extra $300 or more to play with very quickly. Many shops will give 40% cash to new depositors or 100% free play. Read the reviews/experiences and learn which pay and which to avoid..

                                                  d. finally, pay attention to payout cost (espc if your in the US)..with a small deposit, payout cost are a large profitability killer. Use shops with free payout methods to start.
