How to maximize a free play bonus.
Note: This is only beneficial for free plays and you must
have the ability to place more than one wager with your
bonus.
Step 1: Pick one side (or total) you like. In order to collect
this must win (or push).
Step 2: Find another game (side or total) where the line is such that it can't push (e.g. 6-1/2)
Step 3: Play 2 parlays using the selection from step #1 in both and put one side from step #2 in one parlay and the other side from step #2 in the 2nd parlay. Play these for half the bonus amount each.
If your selection from step #1 wins, one parlay will win while the other parlay loses.
Here's an an actual example:
The other day I had a $200 free play. I liked Georgia Tech getting 9 points at Wake Forest. GTech covered the game. If I used the free play as a straight wager on GTech, I would have collected $181.82
Instead, I found another game (Buffalo/Ohio U) where the line was 3-1/2 and played two $100 parlays:
GTech +9
Buffalo +3-1/2
GTech +9
Ohio U -3-1/2
Each parlay was $100 to win $260
Since Gtech covered, I collected $260 (as opposed to $181.82 on a straight wager)
It's actually more profitable to break the bonus up into four
3 team parlays (for reasons I won't go into, I was unable to do
this) For the 3 teamer, pick another game that can't be a push.
Each parlay in this example would be $50 to make $300
If your team (in this case GTech) gets the money, you collect
$300 (as opposed to $181.82 or $260)
If GTech had pushed, a straight wager would have yielded no return and the free play would be gone. With parlays, you're guaranteed some return.
