Party Bonus (NSFA (mericans)
 

This isn't gloat, so if you're American stop reading now.

I think the non-Americans should know the terms of the latest Party reload.

Surely a mistake, if not I have a new fave sports site.

Do you have to deposit for that one?

Re: Party Bonus (NSFA (mericans)
 

PS, yes I am sure it is $3000.

Yes, got the email today. Think it's 20% on $500. It didn't show in the 'my bonuses' section though.
I'm probably just going to play the hands for if/when they work out it's a stupid requirement, but I'm undecided so far.

The $10 free bet recently was $30. So it might just be that the person didn't know the difference between a small sweetner bet that only gets paid 50% of the time, and an actual bonus.

Lori - what do you think of PartyBets? I hadn´t even seen that it existed until just now when I saw the banner on my Party account.
How does it compare to your regular, favoutite, sports betting sites?


EDIT: also, regarding the bonus deposit, I think it´s just up to 100. I might be wrong, but I think that´s what the email said. Threw it out though so I can´t check to confirm.

I would say it's similar to Bodog. Pretty poor odds but sometimes a little slow and occasionally seem to just offer a price that's out of line without minding too much.
I wouldn't go there if I didn't play poker there, but as I do play poker there, it's a useful extra book.

It is just $100, I likely worded it badly [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Ok, thx for reply.
I do play poker there and I´ve been planning for some time to start getting into betting sports and when I saw this I took it as...well not a sign maybe but like you said - it´s pretty comfortable when I already have a Party account.
But if the odds are "pretty poor" I guess it´s not as fortunate as I initially thought that they started this...seing as how I will prolly make the occasional bet there anyway coz I´m a lazy bastard.

However. When you say they´re sometimes a bit slow (Party Poker support kinda comes to mind, L-O-L) do you mean that they´re not changing odds like they should as fast as they should?
So like if a star player gets injured or something, they might not change their lines (err..lines IS the word no?) accordingly?
What about live betting? Say I´m watching a soccer game, biggest scorer of the season freaks out and gets a red card for his troubles, them Party people may be slow in reacting?

Re: Party Bonus (NSFA (mericans)
 

I havent seen any live betting there yet. I was more on about line changes. When I say they're a bit slow, they're faster than VIP sports, they probably take 30-60 seconds to adjust their lines, they're not slow like you're thinking, just slow compared to the industry standard. They're also far from the slowest.

I do have some hope though, their points system seems to be worth at least 9 cents for every $100 staked and a lot more on some sports, although I don't recall which at the moment.

Why?
Cause u don´t like Party or because u DO like Party and would like to place bets there but can´t?

Re: Party Bonus (NSFA (mericans)
 

cause i can't imagine the partypoker bookmaker being sharp.

lori says it's not as slow as vip, which puts it in perspective, but you know there are going to be some stale numbers to be had.

Well I like the sound of that.
Now all I have to do is to actually learn how to bet sports.

Re: Party Bonus (NSFA (mericans)
 

PartyBets is the same as Gamebookers. Party bought Gamebookers and either changed the name from Gamebookers to PartyBets or started offering the Gamebookers lines also as PartyBets. (I can't check for myself as Gamebookers blocks access to American IP addresses.)

Gamebookers still exists. So its option #2.

Can't wait until I move abroad.

A 20 percent, 0.6xD bonus. Very nice party. Their software looks horrid, though.

Yeah, I'm still jealous.

Canada needs to invade Michigan already.
