thanks doug...i bet at canbet all the time and i never even realized that!
oh, by the way, i've been using that little trick at ussportsbook over the last week or so...
i've made over $300 in free money! it would have been more but i did win one of those dogs plays, so i had to risk it all the next day (and hedge the other side somewhere else) to lose all my money back at ussportsbook to keep going.
thanks again!

yeah, of the six times i've done it, i did win one, unfortunately. but the next day, i just bet it all (it was $420) on a +205 dog i "knew" would lose...
then i hedged the other side at pinnacle at -225...which i ended up winning. so, for the day, i lost $37.33 but it got me back to $0 at the USSportsbook to keep going.
so it works out. even if i win one of those dog plays every now and then, i'll risk it all and lose it back.
if i do this trick every day, and i lose 4-5 times per week at ussportsbook, i'll make about $80/day profit. if i unfortunately win 2-3 times per week, the buy back it'll cost me to get back to $0 will cost me about -$40/day loss.
it could work out to about $40/day over the long-run (as long as they continue the promotion).
hey, i'll do 5 minutes of work on the laptop for a free $40/day!
oh, i should add...obviously the day will come where i'll win a couple dogs back to back days...but eventually i will lose it all back. and those days of "lost time" will be balanced out by those inevitable days when i win the favorites (and make the $80 avg. profit) on back to back days (if not more).

absolutely. great point. with early east coast and late west coast MLB games, this could be a great money-maker, almost every single day.
my biggest worry is that they'll end the promotion...but the more i think about it...they have absolutely no reason to.
guys like us who are doing this are betting only dogs and losing far more than winning. i've already lost about $600 there in a week! they'd be crazy to end the promo.
I posted up there 8 days ago and bet a couple of baseball futures for the whole amount. I called today and asked why I didn't get the Bonus Play. They said I didn't get the $20fp because my bets were not resolved(and of course won't be for 6 months). While the letter of the rule somewhere on their site(they say), it seemed pretty chintsy not to just give me the fp. After all, they got my money. Nothing to get too riled up about but kind of leaves a bad impression of them when it comes time to maybe post up again with them.
