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.
