Default $50 Free from BetOnUsa....Best Way to Clear

WR is 10X, so I have to wager $500, can't use it in the pokeroom...Casino, Book or OTB only. What's the best or highest EV way to clear this?

I'm bored between basketball games right now, so I was thinking of blackjack, but who knows. Maybe I'll throw up some cash on the games tonite...but then again I suck at sports wagering unless I get a hot baseball tip from someone like Gabbbyyyyy to wager opposite of.

Theres been some talk of this over the last couple days. People in the know seem to consider it a waste of time, if not a scam.

decided to do this too. why not? nothing to lose but THEIR money. but yes- barely worth it cause you need to turn 50 into 1000. i bet against duke tonight and am now up to 95ish. sorry, don't know good EV, but since it's barely worth it, i thought i wouldn't waste much time, bet 50, now i'll try to double again on one bet.

Don't ever deposit any $$ with them. There is a good chance you will never see it again.

think they'll pay us if the $50 they gave us reaches 1000?

i would not be suprised if people turned their $50 into a $1000 and betonusa.com still didn't pay. they really are a horrible book.

Thanks for that tip, I've read enough about online Sportsbooks to know it's a bad idea in general. If I get in the mood I put money in on Intertops (I can transfer it to Pokerroom), WSEX or VIPSports.

It doesn't have to reach $1000, you just have to wager $1000, there is a difference.

Yeah, That's probably the only way to go.

Btw- I just checked SBR for poohs and giggles, BenonUSA has achieved the highly coveted rating of D-

are you sure Stew? If you are right then it isn't a horrible deal (if they pay). But, I have heard from several people that you need to turn it into 1000 in order to cash out.
