Best way to use a freeplay

[djefferis]

Curious - what’s the best way to use a free play with a RO tied to it based on the amount won ?

Normally - I’d know how to play it with a straight forward RO tied to the risk - I/E get $100 FP with 10x RO = 1k in action required win or lose.

But when there’s a RO based solely on the amount won - that changes things to me. Can’t just throw it on a huge dog and scalp - if you “win” the free play - you have a huge number to make up in action with 10x the amount of a big win. Likewise - obviously not effective to use playing heavy fave.

My thought is best way of dealing with it is small dogs only and multiple small scalps of larger dog plays - hoping to win most - losing 1-2 won’t kill me profit wise nor bury me in a huge number to make up.

Edit to add - not playing multiple parlays to convert to cash as book is clearly is smart enough to recognize this as “bonus abuse”.

If allowed a round robin

I like to use it on +100 to +190 bets if allowed

Some only allow -150 to +150

It’s allowed on anything

Issue with taking something over say +300 in a scalp though is you have a huge RO to make up unless you bet a lot of $50-100 bets.

First things first - get my “base” (the deposit) out of a bonus book. That’s on Stanford right now - I did hedge a little of the free play onto Denver - just in case.

Presuming I walk out with my deposit back following this game - I’m thinking tossing free play on a couple of dogs tonight:

-Detroit Pistons
- Milwaukee Bucks
- TB Bucs

One of those 3 have to hit - right ? If 2 hit it’s a nice payday.

Matter of fact - might just do as JJ suggested and round robin them - worst case - I lose all 3 and book thinks they found a sucker. Best - I hit 2 or 3 and have a nice pile of cash to work through a rollover with. It’s possible - managed to run through a 27k roll in 6 days last year after slipping and getting caught with 5k in a bonus book.

Well - that was exciting for a minute.

Bucs lose in OT - Bucks lose by a bucket after a last second block and LeBrons beaten on the road AGAIN.

Put what I have left on tennis - Rublev and Iga 2 teamer.

If it hits - will bet that all in on Trump -160

If it loses - rinse and repeat tonight.

Thinking the smartest way to play these is clear deposit first - then bet free plays on reasonable prices to convert to cash - then worry about scalping out the cash.

I've never had to deal with this type of RO. I try to avoid them in general unless the offer is exceptional.

So, for example, if you had $100 FP and bet it at +120 and hit --> $120. The RO would be different than the amount requried if you took the FP $100 at +500 and hit --> $500?????

Is that how this rollover works?

I'm curious, what is the RO levels for the various amounts won?

 

[djefferis]

Yep - if you put it all on a +500 dog and hit - you would have a RO of 6000 for every $100 of free play risk.

Conversely - if you put it all on a big favorite and won - your roll would be much smaller - but of course there’s little fun in that as the point of a free play is to take risk for bigger reward - otherwise take cash.

It’s nice they let you play it on any line and parlay/teasers (think limited to 3 teams) - so definite value there. But think the way to play is to get it into cash and maybe even play that through a time or 2 before beginning a scalp strategy.

Wow.... Kind of a creative way to rope you in for a while.

If you hit, your money is tied up for even longer that what seems like a typical RO.
If you lose, well then the book is happy.
