whatcha think? looking to deposit a few hundred and have a 40% reload bonus with a 10x rollover, is that worth it? any input? its going to have to rollover 5grand before i can even cash out, is that 100 dollars worth it or should i just deposit regular?

10x rollover is pretty steep, they are banking on most bettors won't make through the rollover before they lose all of their money. I would rather find a 20% bonus with a 4x rollover which is easier to do. It would suck being up and realize you still have to roll it over another 5 times and then lose your money. A better option at some books is to take no bonus but get -105 lines, I did this at betonline.

Whatever book is offering the 10x rollover is f-ing you. Much better options out there. Just check around. GL

Are you going to keep on playing there regularly if you win or are you looking to cashout soon if you win ? If you will keep playing anyway, then take the bonus.

It's hard to find a bonus and low vig combined. Usually you pay full vig when getting a bonus which makes the bonus worthless unless you successfully scalp it out on the 1st or 2nd bet.

You won't get a bonus at a place like 5Dimes very often. Even Phoenix puts you at full vig with a bonus. A bonus at Betjamaica would be great for baseball with their low vig on MLB sides.

A bonus at a shitty book ( like SBG, Oddsmaker, Sportsbook.com, Beted, etc.) should mean you are trying to scalp it out quickly.

40% and 10X isn't good unless the book was a top book. Top books usually don't offer big bonuses. For a 10X rollover a 100% cash bonus isn't out of the question on a few hundred bucks

its at ez..... im depositing 300, and i have a choice of a few different options for my bonus, the lowest one is 20% with 6x rollover, that isnt bad, but i would like to cash out weekly and i dont know if i am gonna accumulate 2grand from 300 bucks, might as well just go in straight up and screw the extra 50-60 bucks

does anyone know if this will work? ? ?

Miami -800, 50 dollar wager to win 6.25

Florida atlantic +600 8 dollars to win 48

that would mean if i wager 58 dollars im automatically gonna have either 56.25 in my account or 56 dollars in my account.. so i am breaking even but i am using up my rollover correct? shit will get boring but if it gets my the extra 100 dollars in my rollover then its worth it no? do books allow you to do that?

i would still play straight wagers but i would do one of these per day to use up the rollover.. so say a 2500 dollar rollover i would have to do that around 20 times, plus all my other wagers would put me at the rollover in about 2 months.....worth it? dumb?

hmm actually its not worth it, id be losing out on the 2 dollar vig each time, but then again i can always calculate it to the exact amount to get the same wager in as im getting paid

ahh nevermind i just thought if i did a straight wager at -110 the vig is 10 bucks, if i bought the bet back on the opposite team id lose 20 bucks every time i did that... my plan failed

Yes without a doubt.

Unless you are looking to turn some cash and run. If youre in it for the longhaul or even a few months, its definitely worth it.

I opened an account at BetPhoenix during Bowl season (received a bonus), added to it before SuperBowl (received another bonus), and after two month managed a 150% gain on my investment and a lot of that can be attributed to the Bonus Plays/bonuses

never bet both sides of a game at the same book when doing a rollover, it gives them a reason to fuck with you.

I'd allow it if I ran a book....your balance would be near zero from the vig after the rollover anyway.
