I can't imagine them losing if that's any help. Lima is a AA pitcher at best these days an d the A's are on fire.

Missed last two days but in general they are still on a roll, and Lima still sucks.

I've only used a Bonus Bet once and lost it so i'm not sure how it works. Isn't it the WINNINGS you have to roll over 3/4x, not the bet amount. So by betting and winning on a huge -360 fav you'd only have to place and win 1 more SMALL bet to complete the 3 or 4x rollover. Maybe i'm wrong.

Most books will only count the winning on lines over-300.
Forget the rollover.why would you use a free 50 play to win $15?
There's much more value using it on a long shot.
If you have time do a search on best way to use a Bonus Play.There was some good threads about this topic.

That's about as bad as you can do with a freeplay. Just using that game as an example, you can get $15 for your 50 Bonus Play or you can try for around $170 on KC. Talk about a no-brainer.

Agree with Jerseymike and D2, always use your Bonus Plays/match plays on Ev+ only wagers, as I only use them for two-team parlays or live dogs.

It's irrelevant if the Bonus Play is used as opposed to using cash.

If he is getting the Bonus Play money in addition to the winnings, it would matter. But generally that is not the case. If the wager is a winner, only the winnings are collected.

I never understood why people think otherwise.
