Can you respect a dumb book ?

No names, but you'll get it if you're not dull.

Freeplay can only be used , when using the ML , at -200, to +200.

It's a fucking senseless restriction to start with, few know how to even use it well.

It's never more than 100% to start with.

The real kicker is saying you can't bet a favorite over -200....WTF, I'd want my players using their freeplays on -1000, and higher favs

Hell just let the fucking freeplay play like cash, whatever you want, you get the payout, but not the stake !

It ain't that fucking hard !

I'm sure those they will lighten up on those rules.

Give them a little time to get rolling.......

I have no idea what book you are talking about but understand the problem. This may not apply to your example book either but these days there are risk management bosses or wagering managers (call them what you want) that are under heavy pressure from ownership to win and a certain percentage don't think rules and restrictions on various wager types all the way through. Many also don't care about the average player and his needs. They are worried about their wise guys and heavy bettors.

You can tell a lines manager who is not interested in customer service but is worried about his hold percentage regardless of the damage he can do to the volume of a book by scaring away small time players by over doing it with the limitations. Real experience up on that stage is not something you learn in school, it takes time on the job and someone cool under pressure to be good. Like ST for example..

You are right, let em bet all the 10-1 favorites they want.

Agree with some, but not all.

Agree

Asking for trouble if you do that.

Don't know what book this is but obvious somebody doesn't know something.

bookmaker doesn't allow moneylines for Bonus Plays at all.

skrtelfan · Feb 9, 2010

Better than BetUS who claims the "best bonuses in the business" but you can only use the Bonus Plays on single bets of +140 or less.

maybe they are covering their asses on parlays

betphoenix offers 3 team freeplay parlays// etc. and a -1000 would make the PAR easier to hit.

Yeah,

But a -1000 wouldn't increase the payoff very much. I'd think a book wouldn't mind a player adding a -1000 to a straight or 2 teamer. How material would the increase payoff be. Plus you would have to roll over the added increase 12 times.

I misunderstood the thread title. I thought this was about Sarah Palin.

I'd want my players putting it on the -1000 and higher stuff for sure.

A $100 three teamer with three -1000 lines pays $33, big deal.

Play three regular games and get $600 instead.
