    Default freeplay bonuses

    I know of one book, WagerWeb, that tries to use freeplay bonuses to justify stealing. What I mean is, if you use freeplays on large moneyline underdogs, they use that to take free shots at you.

    What I mean is, they say that betting a freeplay that way automatically means you are a professional. So if you go on to win money and try to withdraw, they keep your winnings saying you are breaking their rules that don't allow professionals. If you eventually lose your balance they don't mind of course. Free shot.

    So the obvious conclusion is don't use Wager Web. That is goods advice for a few reasons.

    I didn't mean to turn this into a rant about Wager Web. I'm just wondering if this is going on anywhere else. Are other books doing that kind of thing to watch out for?

    I've personally never understood the logic behind betting big dogs with freeplays, I mean the payout is greater but the odds are worse so what advantage is it?

    Why would you even send a penny of your money to Wagerweb - they are the worst sportsbook out there?

    Just do a search in the SBR database and you will see plenty of people who have been screwed by this outfit.

    If any of you guys want a 100$ free play at the book of your choice, please contact me or flyingillini to schedule an appointment for an evaluation session.

    I just got off the phone with him Diogee. The guy is in desperate need of some counseling. I set him up with a 11:00 meeting with Dr. Illini on Monday.
