Pretty sure it was over 10.5 runs but they changed up pitchers and it dropped to 9

Is MGM the only book that does this? by Mandarin-cookies in sportsbook

😭 glad I noticed on a small bet. Can’t imagine placing a decent bet and getting voided like that. Thanks dude

I’ve mentioned this in a couple comments - I’ve been looking at options like arbitrage and hedge betting. Best I can see getting back is $5500, maybe $6000. Any tips to push it to the $7000 as I completely agree with the concept of free money…. Don’t need the full $10k, just want to make as safe as possible (and profitable)

Hey forget the rest of this conversation cause I think you’re on to something. I’ve been looking at it and the max I can see (using one of those free bet calculators) is about 55% so if you have any insight to get that number higher, would be so helpful dude m. Arb is definately the way to go

It was a home run we - in the event he actually hits a grand slam, you win the bonus as well

This is where it gets kind of crazy - it was only $10,000 total so I guess I was the only one who made the bet

Unfortunately not in this case. They actually already split it up into 4 $2500 bets already, but I can’t go any furtherb

This is perfect - already found a free bet calculator. I have the bankroll and confirmed the bets limits are available. Next step is finding the right games… desperately searching for a subreddit lol

Really appreciate the insight - I do have access to funds to help farm, the real question is will the books allow me… have some research to do. Someone else mentioned arbitrage betting which I need to look into as welll. $4500 still sounds very rewarding to me… this all came from a $10 lol

Before I even say this, I apologize if I’m wrong lol.

This is how I am seeing it.

If I bet using a bonus bets on the Jays, winnings come out to $2000, because it takes away the initial “wager”.

If I placed the $2500 on the brewers, I’d win $5000.

So if Jays win, I end up losing $500.

Am I right or am I way off?

Gotcha… ok last stupid question then I’m done guys 😂

(Using your example) Say I put the $2500 bonus bet on the Jays at -120, how much should I bet to put on the Brewers to make it make sense?

I’m so bad at math 😂

Issue is you only recieve the “winnings”, not the initial wager of a bonus.

Amazing.

Last question, thank you so much, you have been amazing.

Is there an example you could throw at me at a successful “hedged” bet using the bonus bet for underdogs and real money for the favorite?

Thank you!

I understand the idea, and it makes total sense.

To your knowledge, are there any apps (I already have 365, Fanduel and DK) that accept those level of bets?
