Or do I only get the winnings?

You only get the winnings from a free bet.

That's why the "risk free bets" where they give you a free bet if you lose aren't worth it for me.

On another app, bet $65 on Maryland (-150). win $108.33 (profit = $43.33)
throw a $50 free bet on Penn St (+130). win $65 to cover your $65 bet.

There might be better odds out there to do this.


Edit: took me a few times to get this right. Put the free bet on the underdog, bet the free bet winnings on the favorite.

Any special promo for barstool upon signup other than free $10?

I think they have a $5 promo to customize your profile (all you have to do is pick a favorite team/sport).

Also up to $1000 in bonus cash if your first bet loses. Only counts for your first cash wager after your first deposit.

Oh, free hockey advice for everyone over the next week or two - look at betting against the Dallas Stars. They're as streaky of a team as they get and it's usually a 4 or 5 game streak at a time. Didn't score a goal in regulation against Chicago, only put in one against Arizona. One goal against two really bad teams that were both playing on back/backs. The slide back down the standings has arrived - I'm not guaranteeing that they'll lose at home to the Jets on Wednesday, but all I'm saying is I know my money will be on the Jets and they likely will be the underdog. From now until the trade deadline over 75% of their games are against playoff teams and teams fighting for it. I have zero faith in them to keep it together over this stretch.

On BetRivers, you get your bet amount back plus the winnings as withdrawable cash when you use your bonus money of $250.

Speaking from experience. We did all last week.

It was very nice.

Yes. Bonus cash is different than "free bets". It is cash, you just can't withdraw until you bet the full amount of bonus cash.

That can be one $250 bet, 10 $25 bets, or a $200 bet & a $50 bet.

All tied up 5-5 in the 3rd set.

It's all hg's fault if he loses. Because that's how it works.

Of course it's my fault for including him in an 8-leg morning favorites tennis parlay.

Juan Ignacio Londero gets the break. Live odds just shifted to -1600.

Londero gets the win after a very long last game. Thanks for the pick hg!

Now I just need Andy Murray over Chris O'Connell and Novak Djokovic to not have a complete meltdown.

Horse how do you feel about the Avalanche tonight In TD gardens. Took myself out of betting time out and ready to lay a kidney on the avalanche moneyline tonight.
