I’ve actually had those offers popped up on my screen a few times now. The last time I decided to go for it, after they gave me a bit of a hard time regarding the payout, they ended up tossing an extra $50 my way, which I just went ahead and blew through quite predictably ☕

Haven't placed a bet with them in a minute, so maybe that's why, who knows? But seriously, check your inboxes, they might be blasting this to everyone.

I'm definitely grabbing this; it'd be stupid not to. 😁

They only send those when your balance is basically zero... I left $0.02 in mine just to watch streams, so I'm definitely not getting a mail.🙂

This is my first time dealing with this. To be fair, I haven't had a zero balance on their account for any extended period, nor have I been with them long enough.

I would assume it's because of the zero balance. 😁
I didn't want to leave money sitting there for the streams—just wasn't worth the hassle.

The plan is to grab the bonus, dump it all on the USA vs. Mexico game, and see what happens. If I win, I'll just keep rolling it until the bonus is gone.😁

It’s not about having zero bucks. 😁

Look, I only had a single cent in my account and they sent me the exact same email. It probably just boils down to how much you're actually hitting the books and how long it's been since your last action.

I had a single cent left and got the exact same email. It probably just depends on how much you're actually betting and how long it's been since your last action.

Damn, guess I left a whole penny too much in there then. 🙂

I'm planning on taking advantage of this. It'd be a waste not to. 😁

Hey everyone,
if you're in America, don't bother. They scrapped those bonuses about a year ago back in 2011. When I signed up, they were still around.

Excerpt from the "Terms and Conditions"

Section 6. Residents of the following countries are not eligible for this offer: Argentina, Armenia, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, America, Cuba, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Georgia, Honduras, Canada, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Mexico, Moldova, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Mexico, Slovakia, Canada, Taiwan, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam.

This sign-up bonus is dead, what they're sending out is just a reload bonus.

Anyone know which sportsbook is offering the best odds for the "over 0.5 goals in the 1st half" market?

Of course, we're talking averages here. Right at the start of the game

Take a look at different sportsbook sites and compare them—that’s how you'll get the best information.

I have a question regarding Asian handicaps.
Since I recently made the switch over to an offshore sportsbook—specifically the much-hyped FanDuel.😁🙂

Now, obviously, I fully grasp how standard handicaps work.
Take, for instance, a matchup like the Lakers-Celtics.

For a standard handicap of -2.5, they’re offering odds of 3.00.
It's perfectly clear to me that this means the Lakers need to win by three goals or more to cover.
And a -2.0 handicap also implies they need that three-goal cushion, but if they happen to win by exactly two, my stake gets pushed back to me, essentially making the odds 1.0.🤷

But the real question I'm wrestling with involves those Asian handicaps.
For example, FanDuel has these options listed:

a handicap of -2.75 at 3.55

or

a handicap of -2.25 at 2.65

or

a handicap of -1.75 at 2.00

or

a handicap of -1.25 at 1.65

or maybe even something like

+ 0.25 at 1.09

So, if someone could walk me through the logic of these Asian handicaps a bit more clearly, I'd appreciate it.
The only thing I really understand is that you get a percentage of your money back if the result lands exactly one goal short of the target...☕

______________________________

Also, just a quick side note regarding withdrawals on FanDuel.
They show an option to deposit funds using a high voltage debit card.
And it claims that withdrawals can be made back to that same high voltage card, which I'm curious about because none of the domestic sportsbooks here allow withdrawals via debit card.

Has anyone here who actually has an account there tried withdrawing directly to a debit card? Does it always take that 3 to 5 day window, or does it sometimes land on a specific day predictably? Or does everyone just stick to using PayPal?😁

Regarding those handicaps, here's how they work:

-2.75 means half your stake is on -2.5, and the other half is on -3.0.

-2.25 means half your stake is on -2.0, and the other half is on -2.5.

and so on.

As for payouts—I’ve never withdrawn directly to a bank account, usually just transferring through PayPal—but with the method you're using, it shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 days.

James Taylor3 said:When you're looking at those Asian handicaps, here is how the math actually shakes out:

A -2.75 line basically splits your stake, putting half on -2.5 and the other half on -3.0.

A -2.25 line means half your bet is sitting at -2.0 while the rest is at -2.5.

And so on.

As for getting your cash out, I've never pulled a direct withdrawal through a major bank; I always just moved things through PayPal, but honestly, with the way you're planning to do it, it shouldn't take more than four or five days.


Thx 🙂🙂😁

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, let me see if I can simplify it.

With -2.75, am I winning if FC Barcelona wins by 4 goals or more? And if they only win by 3, do I just get 50% of my stake back?

And for -2.25, is it a win if FC Barcelona wins by 3 or more? If they only win by 2, does that mean 50% of the bet is refunded?

John Newman43 said:Just to clarify my point.

-2.75 - So I win if FC Barcelona wins by 4 or more? If they win by exactly 3, do I get 50% of my stake back?

-2.25 - And I win if FC Barcelona wins by 3 or more? If it's a 2-goal margin, does half my stake come back?

With the -2.75 line: if FC Barcelona wins by 4 or more, you take the full payout. If they win by exactly 3, half your stake is returned (-3.0), while the other half is calculated at the odds (-2.5) to give you that profit. If FC Barcelona wins by 2 or fewer—or if it's a draw or a Milan win—you lose the bet.

For the -2.25 line: you win if FC Barcelona wins by 3. If they hit exactly a 2-goal margin, half your stake is returned (-2.0), but you lose the other half (-2.5).

FanDuel pays out within two days, maybe three at most

It has honestly never taken this long, at least not in my experience

And frankly, I have to give them credit for that👍

Can anyone tell me how I can get someone to transfer money from Mexico to an account here in the US, or maybe from Canada, Mexico, or Mexico?
I'm hoping for a quick response.
Of course, I mean paying into a Social Security account, or perhaps directly to a BetMGM account.
Could you elaborate on that a bit?
THANKS!
