How does it not work like that?


if you take that deal, you cannot just pull it back out after the lsu game. you will have to wager a certain amount of money and cycle it through before you can get a pay out. If this plans on being your book for the year then it will not be an issue but you cant bet one game and pull it out, i know from experience

SportsBook has changed the way they do free bets. In the past you would correct, however, now you just get credit for a free bet. You don't have to cycle any money through to use it. You can use the free bet, in its entirety without cycling a nickel of your own money through. I wouldn't just pull it out the next day, but I am pretty sure the money could subsequently be pulled out a month or so later without an issue, which is when I would pull it out. I already have a bank roll with them anyway, so I will be betting with them with the money I have already put in there.

I know for certain you used to have to cycle money through because they gave you a bonus pool and a cash pool and they would only take a dollar out of your bonus pool for every so many dollars out of your cash pool.

Yeah I like the way they do it...I put in a few hundred to start the season and they were doing 25% when I deposited originally. I got the 25% in the form of a free bet that had to be used within 1 week and all at one time. When you place a bet, you just click a box that says "use free bet" and it just uses whatever free bet SportsBook has awarded you. I used that first and then placed my plays for the weekend from my cash account. Pretty awesome.

damn. I guess things have changed with competition. I used to reject the promotions and match money because I didn't want the ball and chain that they applied to it

Not pulling the trigger, but I don't see the Utes losing to USU again. Especially at home

Ole Miss might've brought 20k to Nashville. A lot of red downtown

My one teaser is Utah St. +7.5 and Vandy +9.5

Kinda pissed USU has jumped back to +2.5 this afternoon from a few days ago.

For me, the best bet of the night is Ole Miss -3.

Not touching UCSe because I just don't know about the offense.

I also like USU but I don't think I'll play.

Ole Miss -3.


Lot of people gonna be mad when they don't cover.

Ole Miss has been overly hyped this entire off season. Bowl win last year, great. How does that affect 2013?

Dynamite recruiting class? Wonderful. All those true freshman aren't going to win the game for Ole Miss, on the road, in the SEC.

Prime example of overhyped, public backed line.

I'm sure no one will give any weight to my opinion after my insanely bad luck last year, but I don't believe Ole Miss covering 3 is a lock.

Loaded the account. Popped in Ole Miss -3 to start off the season.

Well, they return most of their starters from that team so that helps.

They have a QB with SEC experience that has played well in tough road environments (see LSU game 2012) and Vandy is breaking in a transfer at QB that has never taken a snap in the SEC.

They won't be playing many true freshman, so that isn't really relevant to this ball game tonight.
