Mansion "Team of the Week" Promotion

Duckstabber · Apr 11, 2006

This week's team is Sunderland and the line is currently:

Sunderland +2.25 -111 v Manchester United

I don't think it's a coincidence that Mansion go against ManUre again. :icon_conf

MANSION will be selecting one Premiership team per week to be the MANSION Team of the Week from now until the end of the season.

Simply visit the MANSION Sportsbook and place an Asian Handicap bet on the selected Team of the Week. If your bet is not a winner, MANSION will refund your stake, up to GBP 50 (or currency equivalent), within 48 hours.

i dont use mansion, but besides that a line of 2,2.5.. i ll be all over sunderland...as i had it 3 time in Bundesliga this season: to get 2 or more goals in one of the big leagues is always great value..if they beat them by 3 i gladly take the loss.

did anyone do this promo last week? what is the conversion rate and was the loser a refund no problems of did you have to call, and emails and ask and wait etc.

Santo · Apr 11, 2006

£50 was = $88 last week, not sure if they use a moving rate.

Loser was refunded late Monday night GMT I believe

I got refunded $87 no problem, even bet the other side with them too, I wasn't going to, but did anyway.

Santo · Apr 11, 2006

Doug went with the Matador approach, go in waving a red flag and see what happens

I'm confused, for those who used last week's promotion and got a refund, can we do it again this week? :icon_conf

You should try Mansion, Chris - they're great for Bundesliga football too. I haven't looked at the game yet but +2.25 does indeed look like a lot - even for the miserable Black Cats.

I figure the book and exchange are different,right ? They'd lead you to believe so. Therefore I bet Arsenol with Mansion book, and Man U with some unknown punter on the exchange, and Mansion collected a fee from him/her. That's how it works in theory, although I have a hunch Mansion was the punter. They can't say much about it.

This week I guess I'll listen to Chriscol and keep the side.

Where in the account history can you see that the bet was refunded?

Guys,

I placed a wager on the exchange instead of sportsbook and received an e-mail stating that I needed to place the wager at ths sportsbook in order to get the refund. Did you guys place the wager on the exchange?

Why even have the sportsbook when all the prices are higher on it. I don't get it.

Nice if they told you in advance. I warned about that, also, as I foresaw that condition. One might want the book if playing a parlay or future, they sometimes have good futures on the book side. For regular game bets, no need to look.

It's clearly statet in the email from Mansion the the wager must be placed in the sportsbook. Both this week and last week.

Its a very good offer and a shrewd move by Mansion to have it on the opponents of the team with the biggest mug punter following in Europe, coincidentally the most in-form team in England which means that even more mug punters than usual will be backing Man U.

My advice is do not hedge this one.

Note that some very high volume Mansion customers have been refused a refund on the Arsenal Bonus Bet on the grounds of being "professionals". But for a risk of $90 its got to be worth it.

Just took this offer again. Hope it hits this time

D2bets · Apr 12, 2006

Can someone summarize what the exact bet in $ that we're supposed to be placing this week.

Doug · Apr 12, 2006

I don't think it's a problem if you go over, I did $90. Seems like it was $87 or $88 last week, I believe you get back the equivelant of L50 if you go over, or whatever you bet if you go under. I bet $87 last time, and got it back.
