    Betonline starts -105 today on fridays

    Fab Five 5% Fridays

    Coming Soon! On select Fridays starting in October, we'll have five hours of 50% reduced juice on College and Pro football between the hours of 13:00 through 18:00 EST. Meaning you get -105 instead of the regular -110!


    I checked on this last week and it wasn't available, but on chat got it verified that this will begin today.

    Chat informed me that any losing straight placed on NCAA sides or NFL sides or totals place between 1pm-6pm today: Friday will receive a 5% cash rebate after Monday night's final whistle.

    Cool deal if the software is actually working during that time period. I wouldn't bet on it though.

    It works somewhat different as I expected, it is not a straight -105, but a -110 with rebate. You bet $110 to win $100, if it wins it gets paid as usual; if it losses you get 5% rebate ($5 or $5.50?). So, the player only risked $105 (or $104.50), as it would get the rebate if the bet losses, thusly -105 (or -104.5). Rebates are credited after monday night, so they will not be available to bet again in the weekend.

    Bets allowed: NCAAF sides, NFL sides and NFL totals.

    I like BetOnline but if they want to do a reduced juice deal, they should just have reduced juice. Taking a bet at regular juice then doing a rebate is unnecessarily complicated.

    This! AND, fix the software before you add twists.

    I think they're just doing it this way until they can fix the software, so it's better than nothing.

    We're told it's being aggressively worked on. Poster feedback probably helped get it going faster than it would have.

    How do you know which select Fridays these reduced juice days are? I would not take a bonus with this book do to really long roll over. I would ask if Betonline considers reduced juice a bonus. Sometimes Bo has some good lines, but their bonus practices really boggle my mind.

    Is rebate thing applied to all players or only a selected few? Don't want to see a betfair surprise.

    Was just going to come back and post what I found out but others have obviously already found out the same thing.

    Clerk qouted me this: The reduce juice just makes reference to the 5% cash rebate you get on your losses on Monday .

    I asked why the promo was listed differently on the website but didn't get much of an answer to that.

    For a bonus I took a 14X rollover on 100% freeplay. Probably not a very good option. After winning my freeplays I have to rollover 20K.

    haha... whats the point of 5% back? why not just put -105 lines? It can't be that hard to do, can it?

    They haven't had a functioning website for 3 months, I'd imagine many things are quite challenging.

    I had a losing wager of 330 for 300 and received a 15 credit to account this afternoon. You do not get anything on winning bets obviously.
