    Question Poll: risk assessment

    I am just curious how would you guys use freeplays. A freeplay is basically a free bet. For example, a free play of 100 usd means you can use it as a wager and you get to keep whatever you win with it but you can only use free play once.

    Here are 3 events to pick from:

    1) baseball team 1 vs baseball team 2
    ML odds: -110 -110

    2) USA soccer team vs UK soccer team (regulation time)
    USA -1/2: +400
    UK -1/2: -300
    Draw: +200

    3) prop: will i roll a seven if i roll two die twice?
    YES: +150
    NO: -180

    how would you use 100 dollars worth of free play?

    I'd just use is as a normal bet. Doesn't make any difference that the play is free. So the MLB play for me.

    This would be ill-advised.

    Check out my Freeplay Value Calculator to compare hedged freeplay outcomes.

    Remember that you can always receive a risk-free 75% of the notional value of the freeplay by betting equal amounts on every outcome of a 3-team parlay at +600, or a sure 76.77% of notional betting equal amounts on every outcome of a 4-team parlay at +1228.3 (true parlay odds).

    wow thanks. i think i wasted my free bet of 100 dollars by splitting 50-50 bet on copa america soccer game argintina vs paraguay 1st half. i risked 50 free play on argintina 1st half -0.5 at +107 and risked draw 1st half at +125. i don't think paraguay can be ahead by halftime (the odds for that is +300 i think). So i would win either 107 dollars or 125 dollars or 0, which is unlikely.

    I picked from the three available choices.

    But I almost forgot that little nugget of wisdom.

    I like to save them for a risky underdog that I would have wagered from my bankroll but get to use the freeroll instead.
