need advice, won skybook 5 prop nba contest

stale · Jun 7, 2005

I won $150. Now don't laugh, I bet $13, to win 14 on the nationals tonight, which was a winner. My new acct balance at sb is $137 Bonus Play money, and $14 in my actual acct. It's seems that with the Bonus Play money, you don't get back your stake if you win. My question is, how best should I use my Bonus Play money? Thank you

ur best bet is to take a shot on the pistons at +200 or more in game 1, or a nice baseball doggie perhaps....

Find a big dog, say +320 and a favorite of -340 and scalp it out for a nice 70% profit(roughly). that would net you about $110.

If you have several outs, this should not be a problem.

I'm no expert at scalping and may look stupid here but I thought dog had to be more than the favorite.

ex. dog +320 and fav -315, means you make 5 cents.

am I wrong here?

I think it has a 2x rollover ?

stale · Jun 7, 2005

correct

bigbet1234 · Jun 7, 2005

You are correct in your thinking, but this is a FREEPLAY, is hedged differently, sorry, used the wrong termanology, hedge, not scalp.

are you sure? I've won like 5 of these things and I always got back the stake money

To clarify: When using a Bonus Play, you are risking $0 to win whatever the wager payoff should be. The winnings on Bonus Play funds become real money, and are accredited to your cash balance. In the event of a PUSH, or Cancelled game, the Bonus Play RISK funds are reimbursed.

Bonus Plays must be used over the Internet. You can break a $150 prize, like the one STALE received today, into as many wagers of lesser denomination as you wish. :103631605

Bonus Play, no risk. You can't get paid for a risk that was free. If you want to play it, vs. scalp out of the rest, or you want to shoot high, it is your call. Congrats on the win.

Best Wishes...OF:howdy:
