  • Is this LEGIT?

    This is an email I got from a buddy, he has been around the block a few times...so I think he knows what he is talking about.

    OK...don't think I'm crazy, but if any of you have an extra $1,100 laying around, you have the opportunity to make a free $1000.
    Mansion Poker is offering a no-lose bet. You bet $1,100 on Pittsburgh Thursday night. If they cover, you win $1000. If they don't cover, they will refund your $1,100 bet. You can withdrawl your winnings, or if they don't cover, your original $1,100 without any strings attached (i.e. you don't have to bet 10x the deposit or anything).

    http://www.mansion.com

    I've looked at this this for a few days now, and it is legit (as far as I can tell). It truly is risk free.
    The only 'downside' is that they need photo id proof before you can withdrawl. This can be either a fax or e-mail of your drivers license, and then I think it takes 3 days or so to validate. It all seems legit to me.

    But wait...want more free stuff? Sign up at PokerSavvy:
    http://www.pokersavvy.com/
    And download the Mansion link from them. By entering promo code 'SAVVY', you will be eligible for their bonus once you make the bet. I believe this will give you either $75 cash, or $75 Amazon Card or something. I haven't done that yet to know for sure, but it will give you 900 'savvy' points. Please use ***** as a referral if you do sign up this way. If you decide to do the Mansion Poker bet, there is no reason not to do it through Poker Savvy. I'm not sure if there is a referral for Mansion (other than the place where you enter 'SAVVY', but if there is, my Mansion name is ***** as well. If you don't do the poker savvy, please use my referral there.

    The hard part is that you have to be able to fund $1,100. Fortunately, for me, I was able to withdrawl from another site to Neteller, and deposit direct into Mansion. However, if you don't have $1,100 anywhere, or in your neteller or firepay account, I believe there is an option that they will take what you have in your Neteller account, and then take the rest from the corresponding bank account (Direct/Accept Instacash?) that you signed up with. I guess other people are using credit cards to fund, and it is working, though supposedly there is a $400 limit, so you have to do it on 3 different cards. Might be a lot of work if you don't have the money accessible, but for $1000 risk free, it might be worth it. There are other funding options, but I'll let you guys explore those on your own (bank transfer, money order, etc).

    Another thing to think about, if you have the funds, is to bet $550 on Miami...then whoever wins, will leave you with $450-$500. Pittsburgh covers, you win $1000, but lose $550 for $450 profit. If Miami covers, you win $500, and are refunded your $1000 bet at Mansion. This is likely the route I will go, but my other sportsbook has the game off the board right now due to Roethlisbergers injury.
    IMPORTANT: You HAVE to do the hedge on Miami at a SEPERATE sportsbook. You cannot bet the free bet on Pittsburgh at Mansion, and also bet on Miami at Mansion. This will invalidate the free bet. If you need/want a referral to another sportsbook, let me know and I'll pass along an invite.

    Some say they are doing this, and making it such a high bet to keep out the riff-raff. I'm not exactly sure, but supposedly they did this a few weeks back with a soccer bet, and it worked out just fine.

    Oh well....if you want to give it a shot, go for it. I just wanted to pass this on and let you know. If you know anyone that you think might have this money around and be interested, feel free to let them know. According to Mansion, this offer may not remain until gametime if they get too overwhelming of a response, so you may want to act quickly. If you want, we could explore the options of me 'sharing' some funds and spliting the wager and winnings, but I'm not sure how much I have available, that I would be able to switch around in accounts, but if you're interested in doing this for $550 or $330, maybe we could create 'shares'. Just thinking...

    Any questions, let me know and I can try and answer them. Sometimes Neteller takes a few days, and the game is this Thursday night, so we'd need to get working on this soon if interested.


    Again, is this LEGIT?

              I would be suspect of any site that requires a copy of your drivers license for withdrawl. That is why sites like neteller exist.

              Sending your full name, address, b-day, drivers license number and possibly credit card information out of the country could be trouble.

              If the deal sounds too good to be true.................

              Just my thoughts, good luck and be careful.

                Oh, it is legit. Been using them over a year and had no trouble with withdrawls. Easily the most helpful customer service I have ever experienced.

                  Santa Claus just told me he got off the phone with the Easter Bunny who spoke to the Tooth Fairy and it was all legit.

                    Personally I think it is legit and is just a ploy to get their name out there to the masses, which they have clearly done.

                      can't be true. They would lose too much. Reading the terms and conditons it say's nothing about a rollover.

                      They won't just let people walk away with their money that easily. Its a sportsbook remember that. There is no such thing as free money.

                        Maybe they have some inside info on this game. Maybe the Dolphins are a 100% lock in this one!!!

                          Line is a pick/Pitt -1 anyway, not to much of a cover.

                          I personally like Miami in the game

                              I heard someone else talking at the poker table at bodog last night about that.. I guess it's true but with Roth out now is it still the same bet? Sounds kind of fishy though.
