american idol: intertops sportsbook has 2 straight bets and a bonus

astroglide · #1 03-08-2005, 06:32 PM

any male to win pays 1.4:1. max bet it allowed was $275.

carrie underwood to be the last female standing (doesn't have to win) pays 3.5:1. max bet it allowed was $110.

they've also got a 10% bonus on neteller deposits up to $250!

If you deposit for the bonus, I hope you don't mind betting on sports. I wanted to bet on the superbowl so I deposited $1250 because they were giving a 20% bonus up to $250. I figured if anything I just withdraw x - 250. Nope, they make you play through deposit and bonus 8x before you can withdraw a cent. I busted betting on picks from the sports betting forum.

If you just want to bet on American Idol, deposit and send them an e-mail saying you want to forfit the bonus BEFORE YOU PLACE ANY BETS. If you place a bet, they make you play through.

lorinda found this at almost even money 4 weeks ago at paddy, but they did not allow yanks.

regardless, i would put the $275 up in a second.

btw, i'm assuming this means you have to LAY 1.4 to win 1, and 3.5 to win 1. it can't be the other way around.

Yes, that means bet $140 to win $100. Otherwise known as -140.

$110 (max allowed, i would have refinanced the double wide if they accepted bigger bets)
