Another Mansion free bet

[dc_publius]

Will signing up for Mansion sportbook (someone please send me kickback offer for Mansion and another good sportbook to hedge) disqualify me from poker bonus on the site?

T&C at Pinnacle where you can't withdraw via Neteller MORE than originally deposited via Neteller.

Not true. If you deposited with Neteller and want to withdraw THROUGH A DIFFERENT SERVICE they'll pay back to Neteller up to your original deposit, then via check or whatever for the difference. If you win and cash it all out via Neteller, no prob.

Ok ... so I've seen two referral offers. Has anyone gone through either of them and are the reputable?

Here's hoping I can empty enough accounts to get my Neteller up to $1,100 within a day or two.

Enticing, but placing the bet plus hedge would eat up my whole reserve BR and I'm a chicken.

I am pulling for you all, though.

Hi. Here is the text of the promo:

"Simply visit the MANSION Sportsbook and place a minimum Point Spread (Handicap) bet of USD 1,100 to win USD 1,000 (or currency equivalent) on the Pittsburgh Steelers for their game on Thursday 7 Sep 2006. (00:30 GMT 8 Sep 2006)

If your bet is not a winner, MANSION will refund your losses of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent)."

Is there any reason I have to take the -5 line? If there is an option for a different line, is it OK to take it? Or is the -5 line the only $1,100/$1,000 bet?

Thanks!

Me neither. Could anyone suggest a sportsbook where I can deposit using Neteller / Moneybookers? Pinnacle does not accept degenerate gamblers from the Netherlands .. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As a stand alone decision it is rarely correct to buy points (the juice the sportsbooks charge is usually far in excess of the EV gained by purchasing the points). Buying points is simply a side wager that the game will end with a certain score differential. So for those with low risk tolerance, who want a sure thing, you are going to lose a lot more EV if you have to buy points.

Historically a push on 5 happens only about 2% of the time in the NFL. From that information you can determine how much extra your sportsbooks are charging you to buy the 1/2 point to or off of five.

So for those hedging:
buying from +4.5 to +5 you will sacrifice EV but sleep better
buying from +5 to +5.5 you are almost always paying to much for a side wager that the game will end exactly with the steelers winning by 5 points

I just deposited my money and found they changed the lines at Mansion. I can now only choose for Pittsburgh Steelers:

-4 -120
-4.5 -110

According to this site: http://bet2k.com/mansionhedge.html, the previous line was -5 -110. That would mean the offer is now even better, right? Since the difference with which the Steelers have to win has decreased by 0.5 points. I'm a sportsbetting rookie and would appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me.

What is the deal if you have never had an account with Mansion before. Are first time users allowed to take this bet. Hope so, this sounds like a great bet.

Yes you are allowed
