Anything here in this fine print we should be worried about?
I don't like that they can change the terms whenever they want, but I guess that is standard fare for a prmotion.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Up to 1k losses? I didnt get an email on this, but this is MASSIVE ev. Sick Sick.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Anyone else having problems loading Mansion's website right now? I am getting some weird errors about active x and crap.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

I didn't get the e-mail but it's on their client under promotions so it looks like it's available to everybody.


OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Go Steelers.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

I'm a little concerned becuase my account is in GBP. The terms suggest you need to wager $1100 USD on the dot. I just spoke to a Mansion CSR and he said the rate they are using now is $1.88 = 1GBP, which means 585.11 is the currency equivalent of $1100. But what if the rate changes during the week?

Anyway, just want to cover all of my bases before placing the bet.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Then just wager a little low, say £575. That'll take care of any fluctuation worries.

And, this was a problem with the last one. CS were telling people they could have $190 for the £100 bet, but then only refunded $188 or something like that. I took $180 so as to never have to think about it and had no problem.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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!!!!!

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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?

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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)

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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.

-Brendan

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

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?

AUD Australian Dollar 1,400

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

You have to go to a different book or they will not refund you shabun.

Also anyone who hasn't signed up for Mansion and wants an extra $90 kickback I have an affiliate who if you sign up through and place a minimum $50 sportsbet (Which this one would count towards) you get the $90 in Neteller or Paypal. PM for details.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Tips for everybody:


1. Do NOT place a bet for Miami on Mansion or you will be disqualified for the refund. Find a different site if you want to bet Miami also and lock-in a guaranteed profit.

2. Make sure you place the bet in the SPORTSBOOK and noth the SPORTS EXCHANGE. They look very similar and it's easy to get confused.
If you bet in the wrong place then you are letting a lot of money ride on this game.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

about mansion:
anyone know what lines they run for nhl games?

100% deposit bonus + $1100 bet is pretty juicy.

So with the numbers at +5 and -5 there is no possible way to get boned right? Sorry, I'm pretty new at sports betting

If the steelers win by exactly 5, then you would push both bets and get no bonus. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

this looks to good to be true.. is there any chance Mansion is going to bail on you if the Steelers lose? Im just a bit worried, their reputation isnt exactly up to par..

Re: Another Mansion free bet

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

But you wouldn't lose anything, right?

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Make sure to bet on Miami on a site other than mansion or you wont get a refund. You will +$460 if the Steelers win and +$456.63 if Miami wins. Nothing more or less.

i don't see how they can afford to do this. have they ever had money problems before? this really seems like something a desperate sportsbook would do to get money in their system. i am not saying this is necessarily the case. but i would be a little leary of somebody asking for $1100 now, so that you can get $500 later.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

hulk3 - no, you wouldn't lose anything. you immediately get refunded your bet if it's a 'push' (the final margin is exactly 5).

kissme: -118 means that you are wagering $118 to win $100 more. each site automatically calculates this for you before you place the final-wager. Or you can use a calculator and figure it out.

If you bet $236 you win $200.
If you bet $354 you win $300.
If you bet $472 you win $400.
and so on.



Here's another example so you can see how it works.

If you bet $1100 on PIT via Mansion
and bet $472 on MIA via PinnacleSports:

If PIT wins:
+$1000 on Mansion
-$472 on Pinnacle
= +$528


If MIA wins:
refund on Mansion so $0 there
+$400 on Pinnacle
= +$400


So this doesn't work out evenly.
But lets you have some fun still rooting for PIT...while locking-in a profit in case they lose.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

spino1 - aside from their video-poker issue and their problem with the hand-generator on the poker tables are there any other issues with Mansion?

I'm pretty sure that they are considered a reputable site and I haven't read of anyone having a problem cashing-out from them or anything like that.


FWIW - it appears everybody (including me) got back their free $190 on the Tottenham English soccer promo that they did last week (almost identical to the current Pittsburgh Steelers promo).

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

I got my last sports bet back on Tottenham but was pissed off when they changed their T+C while I told my friend on a short roll that he should whore their Roulette tables. He still made like $200 but it took him a week to play all that Bacarrat.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

Also - EVERYBODY needs to be aware that it will take a little while to get your money back and it will be tied-up for a few days.
If you HAVE to get the money back immediately then don't do the bet.


1 - it took almost 3 days for them to refund the soccer bet stuff last week. Might take even longer this time since it's more money.

2 - They require drivers-license scan or fax before they allow you to cash-out. And it takes them a minimum of 48-hours for them to process that. And they then say that it will PROBABLY be enough...but they might require further documents if their investigative team decides it would be best.
etc etc etc.
This is even if you just deposit and cash-out via neteller.
They STILL require the drivers-license pic/scan.

In other words, it IS a bit of a hassle to deal with them and if you are going to be impatient about getting your money back then you shouldn't do it.



I look at it as receiving a 30% return-on-investment for a 2-week commitment on my $1600 (if I bet both teams).

I haven't checked the latest percentages at ING...but I'm pretty sure they can't compete with this.

This is the line in their terms and conditions that I like the best

MANSION reserves the right to withdraw or amend this offer at any time without prior notice.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

I have a question, if you already have an account at Mansion's Sports Exchange, can you use that money to bet on the Sportsbook for this? Or do you have to set up a new, seperate account for the Sportsbook?

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

are all of you betting this now or waiting so your money isn't tied up for ~3 weeks?

I dont think they will be this shady. I believe they are pretty reputable.

Screw hedges, GOOO STEELERS. GAMBOOOOOL.

Re: Another Mansion free bet
 

To everybody, i understand you got your money back from the tottendaum bet 190. Why on earth would they in essence give you a free 1000 bet?? this makes very little sense and i need clarification. It's one thing to refund 190 and another to refund 1100.
