Bonus Play Clarification

rjmole · Nov 13, 2005

I Had A Free Paly Coming And Used It On The Redskins Which Ended As A Push. THe Money Was Taken Out Of My Acct.. Ater Talking To CS They Said Normally On A Push You Lose The Freeplay Money. They Said They Would Make An Exception And They Put The Money Back Again As A Freeplay
Which Now Makes It The Same # As When The Bet Was Placed
Is It The Norm To Lose The Money On A FreePlay On A Push?

Have had that happen as well.....

Seems that since you really had no "money" on the wager, if it isnt a winner, you are done....

Seems odd, but not out of the norm.....

Basically on a Bonus Play, you are getting one shot at a win, if u dont get it, you're done

I don't think that is normal no...

And Shut The Hell Up
Thanks

You should get another play, or bet something with a hook.

FreePLay

THis Is Why I Originally Asked The Question
IF I Had Originally Known I Would Have Waited For A Game Which Fell On A Half Point That I Liked. Although They Put The Money Back In And I Am Satisfied I Guess My Own Ignorance Almost Got Me Screwed (I Should Have Won Anyway That 2 Point Conversation Was Bogus)

It's Far better to use a freeplay on a big ML dog or a 2-3 team parlay, it's been discussed many times here.

Bonus Play

Excellent Advice
This Is What I Will Do
As Long As I Have Been Following This Forum I Probably Never Paid Much Attention To It
I Am Primarily A Horse Player And They Will Not Let Me Use It On A Horse Bet
I Rarely Bet Any Other Sports Except Very Small Wagers On Football.
Once Again I Appreciate All Those For Replying To My Question

Another way is take big dog ML for Bonus Play ( say +400) and bet fav ( -500 ?) elsewhere, you guarantee a return, but best is something you were going to play anyway that is a longshot.
