    Thumbs up Ladbrokes for NHL wagering - very good!

    I've been making most of my NHL plays at Ladbrokes this season for a couple of reasons.

    First off, they pay very quickly, as in instantly!

    I deposit using my **** CC and request a withdrawal back to the card for payouts, the request is done online and is processed immediately. After making a Ladbrokes withdrawal my **** gets credited with the funds in about 24 - 36 hours, I check my **** balance online to verify I have been paid.

    Also, when you make an NHL wager on a side and the game goes to a shootout you get a nice gift! If you win you're happy 'cause you are cashing your bet, but if you LOSE in a shootout you are given a freeplay for the amount of your losing wager, NO ROLLOVER required!!, the only stipulation is that you must bet the entire freeplay (ie a $100 freeplay cannot be used to make two $50 bets - you must make a $100 wager).

    You can bet a straight bet or a parlay with your Ladbrokes freeplay but its only good for NHL hockey.

    Plommer,
    I am still having issues with getting my $$$ back from Ladbrokes. It's not much, but the shit they are making me do to get a withdrawal is unreal. I deposited using my ** and asked for a withdrawal back to the card and they said it's not possible. I got fed up and now I am using Pinnacle.

    Matty this is a great promotion Ladbrokes is offering.

    I bet a -1.5 puck line and the game went to a shootout, obviously I couldn't win the bet, but the next day my account was credited with the shootout freeplay as my selection lost the shootout.

    Ahhh, **** and M/C are two very different animals with regard to payouts from sportsbooks.

    There isn't a sportsbook in the world that can payout to a Canadian issued **********, ********** has some rules against it, **** doesn't have any restrictions for Canadian issued cards.

    I know some banks (RBC, Scotia) may not allow gambling transactions but I use a CIBC Dividend **** and it works flawlessly.

    Of the books I use, I can get payouts to my **** card at Canbet/Centrebet/Ladbrokes.

    hmmmmmmmmm.....I am wondering if I should use my CIBC **** card to top up my account then request a withdrawal for the entire amount. What do you think?

    That would probably work, but you'll have to send them "verification" documents for any ************ you use.

    I sent them scans of my passport/CC/utility bill and got "verified", now I can deposit/withdraw with the CIBC **** card online at ladbrokes.com

    So what you're saying is if your team loses in a shootout, you don't actually lose?

    right, you get credited with the fp = to your losing bet.

    Does your CIBC card get charged as a purchase or as a cash advance?

    Thanks for the tip Plom.

    this year and last year, i swear, i have probably lost 150,000 bucks just in shootouts alone, easily 150k.. if not more.. so now you are saying that i could have gotten freeplays for 150k, which i could turn into 120k cash.. so basically, i am only up like 9k in the last 2 yrs in NHL and had I played it at this place, i'd be up 129k??

    Something is not right here. i don't buy this at all.. there must be a cap of 100 or something, cause if i put 1500 on a game at -200 and i lose 3k, no way they give me a 3k free play, which is 2400 cash to me.

    I've explained it to the best of my ability, for clarification contact Ladbrokes yourself.

    Since I've been playing at Ladbrokes I've received the freebet for an NHL shootout loss about a dozen times so far this season.

    Wow. That's pretty awesome. I have to open account there for sure. I checked the site. It says it's up to a £1000 bet. That's over 2G's Canadian.
    Plus it covers ML, PL, first goalscorer and totals!
    Goodbye Pinnacle.

    Matty, I thought it was a mistake when they gave me a freeplay for a losing -1.5 puckline bet, it wasn't a mistake, this is a great feature, 'cause once your -1.5 puckline wager loses due to overtime you can still cheer for the shootout which gives you a chance at a free bet.

    Another advantage for total plays if you bet UNDER 6 and the game is tied at 3-3 and decided by shootout you get the freeplay.

    I'm guessing 2 guys playing together could do some damage.

    Now i have no doubt this is a deal, i'm not sure it's as great a deal as it seems. I'm also not great at math so my reasoning may be flawed but here is how i see it. Somewhere between 12-13% of the games go to a shootout. Though not a certainty, you will on average win half of those games and lose the other half. So lets say you bet $100 a game for 100 games. About 6.5% of the time this will affect you. Which means you will get back $650 in FP money. On NHL hockey i'm guessing that if you scalp out the FP you may only maximize it to about 60% since LB deals 20c lines. And if you just bet the FP you will average 50% of that money back. On those same 100 games betting at a reduced juice shop like Pinnacle, or Matchbook you will gain a substantial amount of that money back just in the better lines you will get. Plus you don't have the option of betting openers. Like i said this thinking may be flawed and feel free to point it out. I guess i'd be inclined to say have LB as one of several outs but i can't see the benefit of having it as your only out or one of a very few outs.

    Your reasoning seems correct - thing is, Ladbrokes is a square book and they have juicy lines in just about every sport. Avs +180 is a nice one right now in the NHL. If you play off numbers and get the occasional FP when you lose in a shootout, it's a great deal overall.

    Its a great deal for rec players such as myself.

    A free bet equal to the amount I just lost? Sounds good to me.

    The lack of a rollover requirement is nice too.

    I have bet NHL lines (early) that were noticeably better than pinnys closing line on many games, I bet openers at Ladbrokes and get good prices, not everytime of course but often enough to make Laddies a book I intend on sticking with.

    Matt, i agree with that. You can factor in price plus the value of the possibility of the shootout to make a play there worthwhile. That's why i believe it could be a sufficient out. But just not one of a very few outs.

    Plommer. I hear what you are saying. I guess just maybe recommending that people don't go the route of putting all their eggs in this basket because of the shootout FP.

    Until they limit you to $5 after 12 bets.

    Tread lightly and you can probably make some change on this, but abuse it and you'll be kicked out fast.

    You'll never hear me tell anyone to use only one book, and I know you aren't saying that, the point of my thread was to inform Canadian hockey bettors of this nice bonus being offered by Ladbrokes.

    That's the plan. I'm not at the 1000GBP-per-bet level just yet anyway.

    The Ladbrokes "NHL – No Losers in Shootouts T&Cs" bonus worked out well for me tonight.

    My NHL plays went 3-2 and the two losers (Islanders & Sabres) lost in a shootout so I'll get my freeplays awarded tomorrow.

    That turned a 3-2 day literally into a 3-0 day in pucks.
    Sweet.
