Free Products (not spam) question

[craig]

If you were brand new at sports betting what kind of free products would you want (even if you aren't new at sports betting actually) in order to signup for a certain sportsbook? LIke if book X said we will give you Y (on top of bonuses) for depositing Z amount of money, what would Y have to be? Or what would you like Y to be? Yes, I am sure we will get a million jokes, but would it be books, gift certificates, an extra cash bonus, etc...?

Maybe something like a match play up to an amount of $. Like a free match play up to $125, so if you bet $110 to win $200, it would be like betting $220 to win $400...

Or strategy books like they do at poker sites. Maybe ever have the people earn points like poker rooms to buy stuff with (like books, hats, shirts, etc.) hell all it does is give that sportsbook more ads to have people walking around wearing their gear.

what about a 1/10 or 1/20 shot of winning a big ticket item?

i.e. rather than offering a $50 bonus if I sign up, pool the $50 from 10-25 people (low number so there's a decent chance of winning) and award it (or a prize worth that amount) to the winner.

I'd rather take a 1/10 shot for $500 (or 1/25 to win a laptop or something) than guarantee a $50 bonus, especially assuming we're talking about a sign-up bonus in addition to the deposit bonus that the book is offering.

That's assuming that the site is paying 100% of the pooled amount and isn't juicing that (i.e. i can take a $50 bonus or a 1/25 shot of winning a grand, obviously the $50 bonus is more +EV). You'd also have to be able to trust the site in question that they'd really award to the ratio advertised and not just 1/100 or etc.

How about Sporting Event Tickets!
I'm not sure the budget you have in mind. If this is to high maybe giving someone a Parlay and if it comes through they get 2 tickets to a Sporting event etc.
Another idea would getting a Sports Package for their cable.
Subsciptions to NBA.com (or something like) to listen to games online would be a lesser cost idea.
