What is the better bonus?

MAGAking1 · Sep 18, 2006

I am going to make a $1000 deposit this week and here are the bonus offers at one established book

30% cash bonus 6x rollover=$7800 in required action
or
75% Bonus Play bonus 8x rollover=$14000 in required action

I usually fiqure a Bonus Play to be worth about 50% of a cash bonus.
So to me Im getting about an extra 7.5% bonus in return for almost double the wagering.

The first option seems like a much better deal to me.
Am I looking at this the right way?
What if it were a 100% Bonus Play bonus?

Appreciate input of an experienced whore:toast:

If you wager a +200 or more ML dog with your freeplay(s), they are worth much more than 50% of their face value.

Some shops however do not allow wagers of underdogs(or limit the amount up to a certain amount) with their freeplays, so please check beforehand.

to properly whore it out and get the most out of it get the 75% Bonus Play and try to lose it to another book where as luck might have it you are also wagering to get a bonus. Make big bets and grab the other side. Bet it all on one shot if you can. Take the big dog at the biggest bonus book and lose it to the other book taking the fav.

which book is offering this?

thanks

Sounds like Heritage new account deal. 75% FP is superior. Bet it all on both sides once, is my way.

BAUS · Sep 19, 2006

Take the 75% FP.

It's a Heritage promo for selected recipients of a postcard they sent out.

BAUS

which they send after you open an account, then are ineligible to use, at least that's how I got the card.

MAGAking1 · Sep 19, 2006

Thanks for input guys.

Yes it is Heitage as per BAUS described.

Can anyone explain to me why the 75% fp is better when you have to wager almost twice as much?

Is is because of the big payout potential of taking a juicy dog?

Pitumbo · Sep 19, 2006

Thanks for the clarification guys...Looking to open a few new accounts.

Dante · Sep 19, 2006

which one is the 30% ??

I got the postcard for the 75% still debating wether to do it

Doug · Sep 19, 2006

Jump on it, great bonus, good reputation.

MAGAking1 · Sep 19, 2006

The 30% is from the Lem Banker schedules.

Also the schedules have the two $500 Monday nite and Sunday nite football
specials. ONe where you can double down at halftime and one where you can get out of a bet a halftime.

Talked to Tim in CS a few minutes ago and was told I could take either bonus and still use both coupons during season.

There was a long thread on this about a month ago.

Has anyone used one of these coupons yet?

what BOOK is giving the 30%?

WVU · Sep 19, 2006

the 75% bonus is better because it gives you more betting money. No one says you have to wager twice as much for it. Like Doug and I both said, bet it all and play the other side and hope you lose to the book with the lower wagering requirements.

Doug · Sep 19, 2006

Do it something like this :

Send $500, get 75% freeplay

Bet everything on a +400 CFB dog at the bonus book.

500 to win 2000
FP to win 1400

500 to 3400 ( +680)

Bet 2900 on the fav -450 ( Pinnacle or Mansion best)

that pays 644.44

fav wins, you are up 144.44, no rollovers it's cash
dog wins you are even, complete rollover.

about 80% the fav wins, and you are done

find next deal

of course you need the 2900 available to do it. You really can't do it bonus book to bonus book because you need the good lines lacking at most places, and higher limits.

First Fidelity group I believe will give a 30% freeplay on $500 or more, and has a dimeline to 190, +100 teasers, 14-5 two-teamers
