Lets say you won a $500 Freeplay in a contest with a 5X rollover, and you have no balance at the book.

You put it on a 3-team parlay (6-1), and it wins.

What's the rollover ?

Is it 500 X 5 for 2500, or 3,000 X 5 for 15,000 ?

Should be based on the Win amount, looking like you will have to put 15k in action to withdrawal. Should have made a straight wager with that Bonus Play.

Hell no ! Straight plays are bad on freeplays, always parlay or take the longshot.

I didn't win it yet, just wondering how it might be interpreted. I'll give the 15k in action if I win. I actually picked 5 teams and wheeled it into 10 3 teamers of $50, so I would need to hit all 5 to get the big money.

Well there is nothing wrong with betting the straight play first just to set the smaller rollover amount.

The problem with going the other route is that you could get REALLY hot and actually surpass the maximum that the books allows to be won off of a Bonus Play.


Doug, in order ot establish a rollover on the $500, I would NEVER bet more than a $500 2 team parlay if not a straight bet

Perhaps if it was a SHIT book, I might not play a 3 teamer. This happens to be Betjamaica, so nothing to worry about. I'd get the rollover easily on baseball with their dimeline.

You really need to get nice plus odds to best use a Freeplay. Most places let you break it up anyway you want, so I'd still do 3 teamers at a junk book, just many small ones, instead of trying to get a 3k hit.

I lost the first of my 5 picks, need to hit at least 3 of the remaining 4.

That is a lot of points on Atlanta! I dont care if only 4 players show up for Miami. That has to be the largest spread in quite a few years that Atlanta has seen. I would say that doesnt bode well for you 80% of the time.


Generally with my Bonus Plays, I just consider that money as part of my bankroll and I bet as I usually would. I dont worry about meeting a rollover or anything. I just place my bets as I normally would and take a payout if it gets to $3000 or so. At betjamaica, I guess that I would wait for a higher amount before taking the payout though

but Miami sucks bad ! I rarely lay that kind of chalk in NBA, but will against the Heat.

I'm a believer in parlays or big dogs ML with my FP. There have been plenty of discussions about this already.

I never said that you shouldnt the hell out of the money after you win your first bet.

But I dont want to win a 6:1 or 10:1 on my first play of a Bonus Play. 1:1 is fine for me.

bdgear, I meant that I didnt want the rollover based on $3000 or $5000 thus creating a rollover of either $15,000 or $25,000

I can say this as well. I received $1400 in loyalty rewards last month and all they said was a 4x rollover. It didnt matter what I won on the first bet.


But then again, I bet 2 team parlays with the money, not 5 teamers
