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).
