Do you think 100% cash bonus is worth a 12X rollover?

**mighty maron** · 02-28-11, 08:19 PM

how is your liquidity? Can it stand a couple of months while you patiently clear it?

**G's pks** · 02-28-11, 08:19 PM

12x??? Thats a lot but it can be done... is there a reduced juice option at this book...might be better...

Given 110 lines, and all things being equal (no +EV advantage on anything), you will lose $100 by taking the bonus. Simply put, you need to bet $12,000 which will net you a $600 loss ($6000 winners vs $6600 losers) from your $1000 balance (your $500 + $500 bonus), leaving you $400 or $100 less than your non-bonus starting point.

But this is assuming I only hit at 50%.

I recently just took 50% cash bonus at EasyStreet on a $600 deposit, rollover is 8x.

They told me they would give me 100% cash bonus, but 12X rollover.

They told me for 40% cash bonus they would do 8X.

I get 100% cash at 10x roll and it really doesn't take long to roll it over.

Yes, that's why I said all things being equal. If you really have an edge, then by all means take the bonus.

And assuming you don't want to actually gamble. The vig is always going to be there fore bettors.

The answer depends what you want to do. For guys using a book with a website they like for a sports season, the rollover doesn't matter really. Other guys will roll 12x in a day of march madness. It depends on the book. Bookmaker will flash a nice half time half the time.

**HedgeHog** · 02-28-11, 09:20 PM

You make a good point, Bill. If you're going to gamble anyway, the bonus money would be the way to go (losing less) as long as the RO isn't an issue.

**bracerman** · 02-28-11, 11:33 PM

The rollover is higher than I like, but with decent lines, I'm all over this.

**mikeanite** · 02-28-11, 11:48 PM

Deposit 500, get 500 cash, start with 1k.

But you gotta wager 12k (and thats the lower of the risk or win amount).

I'm thinking it might be better to just go with no bonus at all, this is honestly a tough one.

Warrior, what book is offering this?

East Street Sports

Rated C+ by SBR, (will most likely improve in the near future)

Talked to them today on the phone and really liked their customer service, it seemed like they would have accomodated any of my requests to get my business

**stikymess** · 03-01-11, 12:02 AM

Warrior,

Did you pull the trigger on this already? I'm assuming there will/should be some sick bonuses coming up with March Madness and baseball arounf the corner.

Weary of a C+ book when there are higher rated options, but will take the time to do some research.

**warriorfan707** · 03-01-11, 12:04 AM

I don't anticipate any payout issues with them at all

I will be depositing with them first thing in the morning. They will match whatever I send in cash, I can't pass that up. 12X rollover shouldn't be an issue.

**mvp123** · 03-01-11, 12:10 AM

id much rather take NO BONUS for reduced betting

jmo tho

What's that?

**mr.inpak** · 03-01-11, 01:30 AM

would never take it unless it is a A rated book

**warriorfan707** · 03-01-11, 01:32 AM

If they were not solid we would have heard about it by now

**LUSabres** · 03-01-11, 01:47 AM

The rating doesn't mean everything; investing in SBR will definitely help that rating go up if its an otherwise sound book.

**Counterfeit Cash** · 03-01-11, 02:34 AM

Let me know how it works out for you, Warrior...I've had my eye on Easy for a while since the have my type of deposit method, but I was weary of the payout process.

**LordVodka** · 03-01-11, 03:32 AM

Sounds like a good deal. Gonna use them next.

**jairocon** · 03-01-11, 04:34 AM

If you're planning on betting with them regularly... then 12x rollover should be no issue. Issue is reliability of the sportsbook, and whether or not they will limit your action.

**pjesnik24** · 03-01-11, 05:53 AM

I took the 20% bonus with 20X rollover at dafabet for a very simply reason. I am going to bet there anyway and if they give me free 400euro I really do not care if it is 10X, 20X or 40X rollover as I will either bust and save myself 400 euro or I will bet more there and finish the rollover in few months and still have 400 euro more. Of course, I do not need that money for bills, loans or anything else that needs to be handled in the next few months so I guess the main decision you have to make is: do you need the money back soon? and, do you plan to bet there even after you finish the rollover or is the bonus the only reason to play there?

**yisman** · 03-01-11, 08:41 AM

20% with 20x rollover!?

**przecinek** · 03-01-11, 09:00 AM

I'm assuming you're talking about BETUS. If so then don't play there unless you have to.

**justonetime** · 03-01-11, 09:34 AM

If you're going to gamble regardless, it's definitely worth it.

**Stallion** · 03-01-11, 09:41 AM

12X is garbage. 4 or 5 would be ok.

**pjesnik24** · 03-01-11, 09:49 AM

yes, and I would even take 10% with 20x rollover. would you do that at pinnacle or even at the bookie which has better odds at pinnacle?

**patswin** · 03-01-11, 10:44 AM

overall not a bad offer i would do it as long as i was comfortable with the shop offering it

**pokerplayer22** · 03-01-11, 10:57 AM

Id be cautious with Easy street. They are run by the same guy that single handedly sent Jazz right down the toilet by slow paying and no paying people every chance he could.

Trust me guys...a leopard doesnt change his spots overnight.

**katstale** · 03-01-11, 11:12 AM

Most places the answer is easy yes. This one requires more gamble than maybe the 12x indicates.
