also if you see the best number or tied at bookmaker it is better than it looks because of the loyalty program, cris is really -108 in reality

Right, the loyalty program adds to the value. It looks like DSI's is also getting a higher breaking 10 cent line.

-108.875 gobbeldy gobbeldy gobbeldy

bet longshots and parlays and you get twice the value

No. gobbledy gobbledy gobbledy

-108.875

Make sure you take into account the value of the free hat.

also remember to order nothing but golf shirts for the best value $175 for just 12000 points. If you have 100000 points do not take the big freeplay, have 8 golf shirts shipped

For the calculations I bet 60k get 5 golf shirts for $875. 60k of vig is 3k. You can easily make $700 off the freeplays, I can make the full amount though with open parlays of hot bets I would play anyway and college dog moneylines. Then you sell the shirts for 5 bucks that is another $40 so really I can get Cris at about -107 but if you just bet a dog moneyline and lay off the other side somewhere else that is about -108

[RickySteve]

Apparently you don't actually bet there much, because they don't allow freeplays on football or basketball MLs anymore.

[rm18]

no I haven't bet there since week 3 of preseason.

still they have true parlay odds on everything though

a) You risked $66,000 to earn those 60,000 points.

b) $5 x 5 = $25, not $40.

c) Betting strictly at CRIS, the best risk-free return you can expect is 77.14%. The days of easy 80+% yields from these are over.

d) I don't see any market for the CRIS merchandise at all on EBay. On what are you basing the value? Even if you profited $5 per shirt and the hat was worth $0, you only improve the line from -107.664 to -107.642 relative to the $150 tier. That is also ignoring the time and hassle associated with selling this crap.

you are calculating it wrong, you get the freeplays win or lose. When you risk 1100/1000 you actually in reality are risking about 1086/1014 when factoring in the value of the points, which is around -107.

I was considering only the case of a loss. Math above has been corrected.

You're still in dreamland about your returns and the merchandise has no value.

Good to heat this, as my main beef with Bookmaker was there awful MLB lines during the season
