Hmm. A free weekly wager... That sounds almost desperate. What are the conditions?

It says that only one refund is allowed for each member. I'm assuming that this means one refund each week, but it could be explained as one refund total.

It is only one refund per member. If you win your bet on the team of the week, then you can take another shot on the following week's team of the week, and still have that insurance.

But as soon as you have lost one and gotten a refund, you are done for the promotion.

Today's Arsenal game is already gone BTW.

I think its 1 refund of GBP $50 only , so if you place 2 bets = GBP $100 , you only get GBP $50 back

but can someone email to confirm ?

You're right, you would only get the one refund of 50 GBP. That's the max.

I don't think so - I'm 99% sure that you'll be able to have another bash next week despite getting the refund this week.

Here's my story on that: I was originally repeating what I had just been told on the phone by Mansion CS. She seemed quite firm about what she was saying.

I just called them now and was told that my original info was wrong and you are correct, that you can keep dipping as many weeks as you want, regardless of if you're winning your bets, or losing and getting refunds.

This guy I just spoke to seemed far less sure of himself though. I obviously need to get a good reliable contact there. I'll work on that.

And I'll keep monitoring this promotion - because it is a decent one - and try to firm up these details before the next Team of the Week game.

When any book has a new promotion like this one (i.e. a pretty oddball one) then you can bet your last dollar that the CS aren't going to be up to speed on it over the first few days.

Hmmm ..... mansion pull out of sponsoring Man United and then two days later have a promotion to back their opponents....

Did this today ... the Arse lost as predicted ... no sign of a refund yet but we'll see during the week.

They seemed to be having a few probs today ... crashing software etc.

Most CS agents aren't up to speed on what year it is or how to spell their own first name.

Just to update: this week's Team of the Week is Sunderland who, on the Asian Handicap in the SPORTSBOOK are currently +2, +2.5 -122.

The game is at 2:45 EST today.

So get your no risk bets down IN THE SPORTSBOOK NOT THE EXCHANGE if you are so inclined.

I also did re-confirm that those who bet Arsenal last week and lost but had their bets refunded, are eligible for the same insurance today.

Thanks for the info Mud. Didn't realize you could get the refund more than once. Did you guys get your refunds from last week?
