Default Re: Best Online Sportsbook For One Bet

[ QUOTE ]
Would it be possible to bet my $1500 on the game and if I won, put $750 on both sides of the same line, accepting the vig loss in an attempt to secure a bonus?

first of all, you'll probably have to get through the deposit and bonus amounts combined at least 3 times before being able to withdraw with the bonus.

assuming VIP has their usual deal of 20% (up to $200) with 3x rollover, that's an 18xB structure which gives you a 5.55% cushion to start with. but going against the 20-cent lines with a house advantage of 4.54%, by the time you've cleared the WR you only have about a 1% gross profit left over. in addition, if VIP catches on to what you're doing and don't like it, they may yank your bonus and ban you.

first you said you just want to bet one game, which is fine. don't start getting crafty at the sportsbook's expense though. there are ways to legitimately take advantage of sportsbook bonuses, but what you're suggesting isn't it. if you're going to play, play right.
