#1 Posted: 2/14/2012 6:44:35 PM Please excuse my ignorance here but im a little lost on why this is a prohibited practice. How is this considered cheating? This is how one sportsbook describes it.
Bonus Pyramiding
Taking deposited funds plus bonus and wagering the entire amount on
a single event. Upon winning, taking your entire balance and wagering
on a single event. This being repeated until meeting rollover
requirements and withdrawing the money. Upon withdrawal, you will
receive your deposited money and winnings on the deposited money.
Example:
|
| 1,150 to win 1,150 |
| 2nd wager |
2,300 to win 2,300 |
| 3rd wager |
4,600 to win 4,600 |
| New balance |
9,200 |

#2 Posted: 2/14/2012 8:10:47 PM It's prohibited because they want more chances at your money. IE they have a better chance of beating you over a larger number of plays.
Which site is doing that by the way?

#4 Posted: 2/15/2012 3:03:22 AM Hey shooter... was that bonus cash. Freeplay is treated like a coupon. If you lay the whole amount of freeplay on a single play you will only have the winnings converted to your cash account. The original freeplay monies are negated... I cant see how your cash action can be restricted so unless they consider you sharp or steam... |

#6 Posted: 2/15/2012 10:34:58 AM At the end of the day, bonuses are a crock and not even worth consideration.
YES I know that many will argue telling me it's free money you should max your bonus.... nonsense. A lifetime of experience has taught me there is no free lunch.
Go with a rock solid book, and ignore any bonus action. The more they market the bonuses, the less of a legit book they actually are. Pinny never pushed any bonuses as I recall. |

I've made a living from reload bonuses & loyalty cash, allowing me the luxury to retire from my job. I'm fortunate enough to have four trustworthy friends who have gr8 jobs, earn big $, & like to gamble. I take all their action & place it with 2 solid A+ sportsbooks. They have lost more than $100,000 over the years, I rake in all the reload bonuses & loyalty cash basicly risk free, as these are trustworthy friends I've known for over 35 years & we always pay each other. But not many people can do this, as you need trustworthy friends who won't screw you when they lose.
