Matchplay BONUS, whats the best way to use it?

[lurkerforages]

OK 65% but i always want a large edge, i hate to actually gamble with my money.

These guys have outbid me. I only pay 50% of face. Same on food stamps too.

Of course they are "worth" more to some but not to me. I am holding out at 50%.

I would offer 70% for all your matchplays! I don't think you guys understand how to effectively use a matchplay. Anyone using a matchplay to bet on a game at -110 should be shot! haha well not shot but they need to go and learn a little math cause they are costing themselves money.

a good MP user shoudl be able to get in excess of 90% of the value out of the MP

My goal has always been 70%. It's hard to get more than that unless they let you bet it on anything. You need to use it on a big dog and play the other side at another book. A lot of books make you use it on straight bets, so you want to use it on the biggest ML baseball dog and not wait until football where they will make you take a side or a total.
If you ever use one at OMNI/Little Nasa-you can kiss the money good bye if you win. Believe that.

If you use your match play on a side at -110 you are getting 45.45%. The odds of winning are 50/50. If you bet $100 match play twice this way the odds are you will one of them which pays $90.90. $90.90/$200= 45.45 %

IF you use it on a 3 team parlay then it's 75%. Say you had 8 match play bonuses of $100 each. Odds are that you will win one of them which pays $600. $600/$800= 75%.

There are ways to get more you just have to play around with the numbers.

I used mine on (2) 2-team parlays:

2 Team Parlay risking 222 to win 868 using Match Play Funds
0913 COL ROCKIES (+155) [Action] on MLB Unknown
0916 SFO GIANTS (-108) [Action] on MLB Unknown
$ 222.00 $ 868.00

2 Team Parlay risking 222 to win 989 using Match Play Funds
0913 COL ROCKIES (+155) [Action] on MLB Unknown
0930 SEA MARINERS (+114) [Action] on MLB Unknown
$ 222.00 $ 989.00

I ain't complaining at all! I love matchplay!
444MP into 1857.00 (Of course, I can say now I should of put it all on a 3-teamer instead, lol)

First time I ever used matchplay, always had books that gave 10-20% cash bonus.
Thanks GamblersAvenue!

I ALWAYS bet my matchplay bonus using 3 team parlays! I dont see how you guys have the time to even scalp and some of the guys around here do it for like a profit of $50 or so! Not worth them time to me
