keep your pants on... wasn't my money.  Fanduel new sportsbook gave me $250 bonus bets.  Carolina to win the south is +1000.  South isn't exactly great.  Crazier stuff has happened.  I'll take the free money if they do.

Why would anyone give you money to place a bet with them?

Had you been betting before but stopped for a while? If so, that's a great way to get you back into their cash flow plans.

Had you signed up for the service but never used it? Then it's a powerful way to motivate you to start betting. 

Just tiny little hooks to keep you dancing on the line for them. 

Sports booking/betting outfits really don't care if you win or lose, they are balancing bets against each other to keep the books straight. They make their money off of the vigorish or placement fees. They are interested in volume, keeping the number of people active and involved. Free money for bets, comped rooms, "VIP" bettor status, whatever it takes to keep the action rolling.

Gambling has always had a parasitic relationship with society. And man, it's on steroids now.

LOL credit card companies and even banks do this now. If you are disciplined its called Churning and its zero risk as long as you're not a moron.

Unfortunately, 49.5% of the population is below average intelligence which is already the intelligence of a soap dish.... soooo gambling companies make a lot of cash off of them.

Just because someone is stupid doesn't make it ethical to take advantage of them, even though it seems that's the way the world works.

Nah it’s a ‘bonus’. All casinos have crazy bonuses. 

My guess is he didn’t read the terms. Probably a stupid rollover where he’ll need to spend 500x what he wins to ever cash out lol

Or did read them and didn’t care. I guess it is just a bunch play money for entertainment I guess.

Maybe the "I'm up 1300" guy can chime in, but yeah as far as I've heard you have to "win" a certain amount before you can "collect" anything from them. You can't simply sign up, get $250 for free, bet, win, and then cash out and say bye.

You sure can. Most books will let you cash out into your bank account with as little as $10 in winnings. If you do it right you're playing with house money.

Has it always been that way? I don't bet but I swore I saw somewhere that you have to win a certain amount before you're allowed to withdraw the money.

You can cash out anytime you want.  You can't cash out the $250 they give you, but you can cash out your winnings whenever you like.

Like Sir Purr said above, you can't cash out the bonus bets they give you but anything you win from those is yours to keep. It has always been that way as far as I know.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
