Is the old $100 deposit, $100 bonus trick...

Doug · Dec 5, 2005

smart for the book offering it ? I won't mention any books that offer it, but it seems to be offered more and more. I take it, and bet both sides of games just to hopefully get through it in one bet and lose the bet at lesser known place, and win it at real book, repeat if necessary, I've never failed to turn the bonus that way ( yet).

The bonus book always gets the $100, though ! There's usually nothing to keep me at the book offering the promo. None of the books I stay with got me to play there with this offer, with the exception of Mansion.

I use as my core outs Pinny, Mansion, Wagerweb, Olympic, 5D, Hollywood, Skybook,SIA.

I'll occasionally go back to books like Canbet, Bet $3.65, Jamaica,WSEX,WWTS,Bowman's,Grande,Sportsbook.com,Advantage,Sport-
bet, CRIS,ABC, Gameday,Matchbook, and some others !

OK, I lied about not mentioning bonus books ! I don't go back to places like Playerssuperbook ( dumb name),SBG Global and forgotten others with these offers. Beted seems close to this, and places like 777Rock,USsportsbook, Betonstars, I never played at those 4.

I don't see what these places could possibly offer me that's lacking in my primary outs, plus the dozen + of trusted secondary outs., in my established bookie relationships, I'm sure I left some out ! I can get reduced juice, exchanges, free halves, loyalty points, gifts, alternate lines, live betting, enough props, etc.

I'm very leery of new places ( in true Chuck fashion) unless they have something very unique, such as Bedbug's exchange with the $20 fee cap which is cool for the largest players, but nothing special unless you bet huge, Matchbook is new ( but WSEX backed). They have fantastic potential, and I plan to deal with them more.

I don't see what newer books, like a Richcoastsports , Beted, etc. can offer that doesn't already exist. Additionally many books must be earning below expectations on the heavily bet NFL with fav's covering so much this year, if not genuinely bleeding dollars.

This wasn't intended to be this long, sorry !

there is really no bonus that has not yet been offered

everything from Turkeys to 100$ for 100$ ( which my god man if your going to try a book your not risking that much to do so)

I like the Matchplay bonuses personally they are more FUN to use IMO

I don't think it costs them much to do this b/c if they offer $ 100 for $100 deposit and the customer loses they are not out anything - its kind of a breakeven I think. I look at these offers as a " loss leader" like when you go grocery shopping, stores offer several items at a good discount to get you in the store and hopefully you will buy more things at a higher markup. I think the books are doing the same thing here. They are hoping you keep playing there and eventually become a customer. I have tried this at a couple of books and have made several " backup" outs that I will use when their lines are attractive.

i luv the 100 for 100 :103631605

Doug · Dec 5, 2005

Richcoast has one now ! 30 day hold, I believe

mson · Dec 5, 2005

I love the bonuses. Won at RichCoastsports and won with matchbook, I like them and I hope they keep them coming.

Doug · Dec 5, 2005

I'm just playing both sides to hopefully transfer the free hundred to another book, I don't like the hold, and the book is too new for my tastes ! In and out quick, I hope. Good time for caution with these new places.

Doug · Dec 6, 2005

Richcoast has very limited options. NFL lines not up yet, no -1.5 NHL ! They do have -105 on MNF, and -104 NBA thursday I won my bet, so have $390 now, one more shot at early exit, if I win, then I'll have over $700,then I've met about 3X of the 5X rollover, and will finish it over the 30 days and withdraw.I guess I'll wait to Thursday and shoot with -104 against free half for the transfer.

RC didn't grade MNF until the morning, but it doesn't matter since no overnite lines ! They aren't a great fit for me, nothing I can't already get.

I'm concerned about the quality of the books, though ! I only do one of these at a time.

CRIS is good, if you don't already have an account there, I'd reccomend them to anyone wanting a 100/ 100 deal !

Big difference between CRIS and a book that doesn't have NFL lines up on Wednesday.

VaultedTreehouse · Dec 7, 2005

It's a 100 bucks. Why the need to go through this? What about simply betting at reduced juice and forget the bonuses....I can't understand the bonus mentality. Win some games.

wanderer · Dec 8, 2005

Sometimes you can find a permanent book from these offers like No Juice Sports. They offer something noone else does and without a great offer to try them noone probably would.

How long have you been with nojuice? I was thinking of trying them. Have you made any withdrawls yet?

Yes, that's true, you can find a permanent book with these offers. Mansion and Matchbook come immediately to mind for me.

I got myself out of Richcoast, bet balance on Suns under there, and more at 2 other places on over, had a .5 and 1 point side shot, but WAY over. I was getting nervous when I saw they write 100 tickets a day, and 5 of them are mine ! I'll wait and see if they grow a customer base, before thinking about returning. They did have some nice reduced juice specials, but the volume spooked me.
