Freeplay rules that doesn't make sense.

[hazliam]

Some sites limits your freeplay to -200/+140 or +125 at Bol and SG. The upper limit of the +makes sense because the higher it goes, the closer to actual cash value it becomes. Since even on a win you don't get the freeplay back. But why limit the lower limits (not that I ever go for it). Like -200, if I take that line, even if I win, I only get 33% of the freeplay. Hell, as a sportsbook I would love for you to use your freeplay on -1000. Win/lose I dont' care, you are only getting 10% of your freeplay value even if you win! Just weird they limit the lower limits.

Lol

agree

 

[Wagerallsports]

It's also BS on rollovers that they always count the lower of the two between the risked amount vs the win amount

Here's why it's total bullshit!t....

I bet -200 to win 100, they count the $100 toward the rollover

If they are going to credit the winning amount, they need to be consistent and when I bet 100 on +200, and win $200, that winning amount should also go towards the rollover too

Not as big of a bullshit as mybookie $1 betting limit on a $2 min bet lol!

 

[Pimike]

Don’t agree there.

You bet 100 towards the bet. That is all you should be credited for.

you didn’t risk 200

However if you bet 1000 to win 100 I can see why they wouldn’t count that. I see you point as well however you risked that amount.

 

[Pimike]

Betus however even worse. You bet 550 to win 500 in baseball they only credit half 250

that is BS

 

[keithrichard]

GTbets gives you 50% credit on major sports. MLB credited 20%. 100% bonuses with 5 or 6x rollovers seem great but actually a bit deceptive. Rollovers take me forever. Still I know this and I enjoy playing there.

 

[keithrichard]

Betnow I have gotten 100% bonus usually 10x rollover. Full credit on everything you bet including live casino.No BS hidden rules like Betus. I think Heritage is pretty straightforward too but not sure about that.

What happened to the days when you picked 3 teams with 1/2 spreads and did the eight parlays !

I hate where if a you use a freeplay and it’s a push/tie it’s considered a loss you don’t get the freeplay back

Yeah , just make sure every bet has 1/2 point but it still sucks.

I agree, if you have the option buy the half a point. Or don't bet on ML for quarters and half.

I like Sportsbetting alright but they do have this rule with there FPs you have to make sure you don’t play any lines that can push .

I have a hard time beating Bol and Sportsbetting freeplay. I am happy if I get anywhere near 50% EV on their freeplays. They got soooo freaking many rules. Just finding something +120 to buy is hard.

Yessir mike that's my point it needs to be one way or the other not flip flop both ways to what's convenient for them

Back in the day don’t know currently I quit taking free play bonuses a long time ago but call them and they will credit back to your account. The bot graded that as a lose.

 

[Pimike]

Cash bonuses are king and straight forward

thanks Heritage as well as other books that give cash without doubling the roll

Ya some books will give it back but I think it’s bol and justbet when I used the freeplay and it was push and when I contacted them they said sorry but ties/push are considered losses now I always look at the rules to double check

 

[Hunch]

Some books they lose and some refund on a push, gotta check the T&C in advance.

If you are hedging the freeplays you can profit multiple times on them if they are refunded on a push so that's probably why a lot of books grade it a loss.
