"Freeplay" Strategy

TopDawg24 · Sep 10, 2009

at bet phoenix I got $200 freeplay...but rollover is 8x of winnings + deposit

so how does that work...meaning do i have two seperate accounts for Bonus Play and real money

like do i have to bet all my initial $200 before I can bet my freeplay account

or can i just bet my $200 freeplay first to see what i win and then find out my rollover requirements and then start with real money next week?

Thanks

You can do what you want.

You have One account ! But it will show you Two amounts...
One with Real Money, the other with your Bonus Play Money.

You can bet whatever you want. Bet Only Real money, or Only Your Bonus Play Money.. OR...a little of Both.

BOL ! :toast:

you can bet your freeplay 1st if you want. When you enter your wager there should be a box in the confirmation screen somewhere that says "use Bonus Play". If you check that box the money for that play should not come out of your cash balance. Its up to you if you want to bet it first or later on. Best way to use a freeplay is parlay money line underdogs.

I'd just make the bet (s), then whatever you win from it ( X8), is your rollover amount.

Any bets after that settles ( if you win the FP), should count towards the rollover.

JMO, but I think it is correct.

You should call BP to verify this info, BTW.

I suggest using the FP on ML longshots or small ( 2-3 team) parlays.

I'd use it all within a few days also, so the rollover ( if you win), can start.

Not positive but pretty sure BP has a +200 ML is the highest team you can have in a parlay.Also believe on the freeplay 3 team parlay is the most teams you can do on a freeplay.Be sure and read their rules it is on there

Doug · Sep 10, 2009

both restrictions are fine, you want some chance of winning the Bonus Bet anyway, yet get at least +400 on it.

can you do teasers with freeplay?

I would bet it all on one game cause if you start spliting it up 20 here 20 there then you will probably just break even on it

They have live chat if you need help

thanks

btw betphoenix is awesome for anyone wondering

they gave me $25 freeplay additional due to the fact that my WU took an hour to process since it was busy

nothing wrong with breaking even on FP, same as converting it to 100% cash, which is a solid result.

just use it on longshots or parlays, anything about +400 or better.

Breaking even on free money ... is free money. The more you split it up, the more likely you are to walk away with something rather than nothing. Usually the only correct answer is to treat exactly the same as you would any other currency in your gambling budget

nope, you need to play high odds stuff with it, that you might likely choose not to do with deposited cash.

no argument against splitting it into multiple tickets.

Inotice some references on the forums to a 3 team parlay for freeplay that gets you 75% of your money back

any truth to that or how does that strategy go

and is it allowed?

you need to do a search on how to use freeplay
there is a classic thread where doug explains it in detail

the thread can be tough to find coz in the title the word match play is used, so I searched for it:

daing just found this on betphoenix

"In the event that a customer or group of customers breaches the terms and conditions of any promotion offered by Betphoenix or if there is evidence that wagers have been placed using funds from a promotional offer by a client or group of clients which result in guaranteed customer profits for the client irrespective of the outcome of the event, Betphoenix reserves the right to revoke the bonus, reverse any winnings from the bonus or void any wager placed with promotional money."

LOL

I might just try to use it on some teasers or something
