Am I the only one who hopes to lose on freeplays?

[HarryCaray]

If I win I'm just pissed I didn't make a regular wager and save the Bonus Play balance :think2:

 

[rwjr]

Yes .... your the only 1 :hahahahah

 

[Willie99]

I have to be honest Harry, I never want to lose


FWIW

 

[HarryCaray]

I feel like these are best used to avoid losses. Cause if you really think a bet is gonna win, why are you wasting a Bonus Play on it?
Maybe I'll just use them to hedge futures.

Back in my whoring days it was most profitable to lose them

 

[CHOPTALK]

I usually just add them to a game I’m already betting with real money

 

[CHOPTALK]

And I don’t reduce the amount of money I was gonna put on the play without the Bonus Play

So if I was gonna bet a game -110 for $100 with a $50 Bonus Play I would just bet $110 real many and $50 Bonus Play

Yeah its kinda like when you drop your bet in black jack to the table min. and get black jack

Well yeah, but you had the other side somewhere with real money I assume

Use to be great to win when yuo could do parlays

 

[SgtLanquel]

I always view Bonus Plays as the spot to take a shot on a two or three way parlay

I was in a bad streak once, but got a Bonus Play from Bookmaker for $1500... huge rollover though. Ended up turning it into about $38,000. I was hitting that rollover religiously, betting 24/7 for 2 weeks to hit it. Was fun though, I like to go all out on Bonus Plays.

Not mine anyway
Bookmaker gives cash bonus and betpoints turn to cash. Still have Bonus Play in the section but I have never gotten one or heard of people getting the,m
Sportsbetting freeplay you can only do straight bet
Think most are that way

 

[Mr_Mark]

lose the Bonus Plays = due to win the money plays @)

 

[PoundFoolish]

I understand your thoughts, but no never have hoped to lose a wager.

 

[REDEYE]

I try to keep it out of my mind during a football or hoops weekend. So when I tally everything up at the end of the weekend , when I see that my Bonus Play lost , I look at it as a win..

OK maybe I worded it poorly, I guess I don't truly hope to lose it. I'm just a little pissed when it wins, like, "well that was a waste".
I have a large Bonus Play at one book. I'm just sprinkling it on "player to score the first touchdown" in every primetime NFL game.

I understood what you meant. Good luck on hitting some of that FP action!

I like this approach. Any dogs I'm playing ATS I am putting real $ on ATS and sprinkling a little Bonus Play on the ML. Free bonus if they win outright, if not I still won my "real" bet.
