If you push on a Bonus Play do you really lose now? I have never seen this before, but that is what I am being told.

Yeah, that's how it works. Whatever you win from the Bonus Play is what you get. In this case you won $0 so you get that.

Must be a new thing. I know it use to not be that way. Guess I should have known not to refer my brother in law to some chicken shit book like EZ. I know he has been happy, but this one has him pissed and I don't blame him.

Some places will refund it as another FP but you have to go to chat and ask about it. That's been my experience.

All Books are the same on a Bonus Play Push. unless there is one or two out there that I don't know about.

Really Mike? That is a new one for me. I guess if everyone is doing it now, then fuck it I guess. I will tell the pain in the ass to forget about it or just stop bitching to me about it anyways.

Like I said most that I know of ... but what harry said makes sense too. That use to be what some Books did. So give it a try.

Try contacting Hache ... he's off until Sunday, but shot him a PM. He deals with EZ
also there is a EZ rep around here ... I would PM him/Her too ... I'll have to find the user name

I think you are confusing Bonus Play with a bonus.
if it was a bonus the money would be returned but since it's a Bonus Play there is no money risked for you to get back.


if you would have won the bet you would have only gotten back about 63 bucks depending on the juice instead of approximately $133 if it was bonus money.


i would not hold that against the sportsbook. Every book in the history of earth had always done it that way since the beginning of time.

always make sure all your Bonus Plays have a hook

imo Bonus Play money should be returned to the FP bank on a push. or half the win amount (in this case like $30 of the $70 FP) in the account.

but rules are rules and FP rules have always been this way.

Yep, Pushes have always lost on Freeplay.
I don't play them unless in parlay or + moneyline.

Are you serious? In my 14 years working in this business I have NEVER heard of a Bonus Play being a push and getting the money back.

Although it has never really made sense to me, unfortunately a Bonus Play is usually not returned on a push.

The only book I ever recall with a different rule was Bet Jamaica who would return the Bonus Play if it pushed but let's face it, they were different (in a good way) than every other book in history...

Thanks for the input guys. I have let him know that this is the policy at almost all books now. When he first told me, I added fuel to the fire by telling him that it was fucked up. He is still pissed and won't play there again, but so be it.
