Another Mansion free bet

[136913691369]

OMG just got the e-mail as well. I think I just creamed my pants. I will not be hedging this bet so lets go steelers!!!!!

I'm new to sports betting, but this looks too good to be true.

Need some help -

You bet $1100 on the Steelers v's Miami using the -5 on the dropdown box. If you lose you get your money back, but I assume if you win you get your stake back plus $1000.

Sorry for being new to this, but I can't see how its possible to lose. Can any of you guys help me understand?

USD Qualifying Currency Equivalents: GBP580

ok i don't know exaclty which game i'm supposed to put a bet on.

is it this one:

-5 / 1.91 Pittsburgh steelers?
(i use decimal)

It looks like it has to be $1100 on the dot.
But I really suspect it's UP TO $1100 for the refund.


If it's $1100 on the dot then I could see this being a real issue for non-Americans with fluxuating currencies.

But I think we need to confirm that it's not "UP TO $1100" like it was for the soccer-bet last week.

Ok, so what's the best way to hedge the bet on another site and ensure a profit? I have no idea about this sportsbetting business.

Pinny has the Dolphins at +5 -118. Who can do the math for the perfect hedge bet on this one with the above info? Steelers are -110 at -5 on Mansion.

Bet $540 on Miami +5, -118
Bet $1100 on Steelers, -5, -110

If Steelers win, you win $460, if not you win $457.63 after the rebate from Mansion. That's as close to perfect as I'm gonna get on a quick trial and error calculation, and I took long enough that I'm sure someone else already beat me to it with something actually perfect.

Okay, just read the terms, you have to bet a MINIMUM of $1100, and if you lose they will refund $1100 of your total. They list specific currency equivalents, so don't worry about fluctuations, if your betting in GBP, it's a 580 refund if you bet 580 or more and lose.

Obviously if you're hedging you want to bet the minimum since anything more than that won't be refunded, but betting less means you don't qualify.

I think I'm getting the hang of this. Can you place a bet on Mansion for Miami as a hedge or do you have to go to a different site?
