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.

Jesus Christ, the odds on Caesars is +1400 you got robbed my guy

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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
