Default Re: Another Mansion free bet

I just made the bet and interestingly enough I had the option to make it 4.5

The live operator said I would make less with this wager. I asked how much less?

He didn't answer the question - he paused, told me I'd make more on the 5 line, but steered me away from the 4.5 bet, which obviously would have been much better and would guarantee the hedge bet, but I didn't push it and took the free bet with the line at 5.

Also, I don't think you are allowed to hedge the bet at Mansion so be sure to do that elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure the 4.5 line isn't free. But I'm not TOTALLY sure.

Here's the promotion details and conversions for those not using USD:

http://www.mansion.com/Portal.aspx?s...romotions.aspx

I'm not affiliated with Mansion in any way - just found out about the offer and signed up, confirmed it with online support when I did it and kept a copy of it.

OK, probably a stupid question. But I just don't understand.

What is Mansion gaining from this? My poker bankroll is only about $1200 so if I threw it onto this game on Sept 6th... I'm not losing anything and I can win $1000? Too good to be true...

I would guess they gain a lot of action and a huge buzz. If they get 50% bet on each team they win and if they don't they can lay off any amount they uncomfortable with.Does that make sense?

EZ if you really did that then wow that was about dumb. You should have placed the free bet at Mansion and then place a weighted bet on Miami at say Pinny. Bet $2300 or whatever on Miami so you would win around $2000 and if Pitt somehow covers you still lose the same.

Best of luck to ya!

No, it isn't free. You will have to lay higher odds to get the bet at -4.5. Probably in the -118 to -121/100 range. It also doesn't meet the promotional requirements of placing a minimum of $1100 on Pittsburgh -5.
