Another Mansion free bet

[briton]

I just got the following email. This one seems to good to be true!!!


Dear Member,

Simply visit the MANSION Sportsbook and place a minimum Point Spread (Handicap)
bet of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent) to win USD 1,000 on the Pittsburgh Steelers
for their game on Thursday 7 Sept 2006. If your bet is not a winner, MANSION will
refund your losses of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent) within 3 working days of the
result.

This deal is too good to miss. There’s no better way to kick off the NFL season and
no better place than at MANSION

Don’t miss out

The MANSION Team.

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.

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

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

Go Steelers.

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.

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.
