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.

They were basically giving away free money at the beginning, you could bet up to $50  with +100 odds on 1+ shots on goal in Rangers Vs Hurricanes, also Hornets Vs Pistons 1+ total points scored in the game.

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.

      RBA Contract Extension Pulled

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Multiple sports media outlets reporting the contract extension for RBA might be off the table. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2904953

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      Yea we easily win 6-7 games with Dalton but prefer the way it played out in getting the HC and GM fired

      By hepcat · Posted

      Hypothetical offseason question. If the Panthers sat Bryce in 2023 and played Dalton instead, where would the Panthers be going into 2024? One thing is certain, things would be VERY different.  1) Frank Reich doesn’t get fired. Dalton is a veteran and operated Frank’s offense far more effectively in the one game he started than Bryce did. The Panthers likely look a lot more competent early on and Frank doesn’t get fired mid-season. Caveat - It’s also been quietly mentioned in some media outlets that Frank and the staff preferred to draft CJ Stroud and might have tanked the season intentionally to get fired, all speculation. But the vanilla offensive scheme might have been a coincidence due to lack of talent and competence, or perhaps malicious compliance.  2) The Panthers wouldn’t have been the worst team in the NFL. The defense was fairly good in 2023 despite the fact the offense was the worst in the NFL with Young under center. With a veteran starting at QB, the offense would possess the ball for longer periods of time and could have lead to even better performances from the defense.  3) Scott Fitterer doesn’t get fired. A move I think was needed either way, but if the Panthers resembled anything in the way of competency in 2023, Fitterer doesn’t get the axe especially because they hadn’t seen what Bryce can do on the field yet.  4) David Tepper doesn’t throw a drink at a fan. I think we’re all tired of the owner of this franchise embarrassing the fans with his immature behavior but hey, I have to imagine that his rage wouldn’t have been at level 10 if they hadn’t had the disaster of a season they did in 2023. 5) Bryce has a good 2024? Biggest leap I can make in this speculation but I think if Bryce sat in 2024, and the team makes similar moves to build the offense around him, he would come into a much better situation after having a chance to learn on the bench behind a veteran instead of the situation he was thrust into.    We will never know how this would have played out but it is fun to speculate!
