Just finished my VIP showcase and am fresh in VIP this week, just got this today:

EARN UP TO $1,400 IN FREE BETS

Opt-in and place qualifying NFL bets between 01/14/2022 and 01/17/2022. Earn a free bet for hitting each of the following:

$500 FREE BET $3,000 in NFL Same Game Parlay (SGP) bets
$300 FREE BET $3,000 in settled NFL Parlay bets
$300 FREE BET $3,000 in settled Single NFL Live bets
$300 FREE BET $3,000 in settled Single NFL Pregame bets

The parlay requirement is absurd and likely will not do the live betting portion but the $3k in pregame bets was easily done for $0 cost and the $3k in SGP bets I 3-way arbed for like -$70. So $70 for $800 in free bets

I love free bets. They had some insane promos this year. Every Monday/Thursday night during like the first 9 weeks of the NFL season it would be something like Monday play 25K in blackjack for 10 $100 free bets and then thursday would be $10K on roulette for the same bets. I ran super hot as well, I probably cleared over 10K on those promos alone. Sadly most of the good ones have stopped. I just want free money dammit.

I’ve always loved the Chiefs

Can you explain how you did this? I get a ton of sgp offers that I never use because I don’t ever bet them.

Was so close last night on that promo.

Chiefs -19.5
Pringle to score TD
Roethlisberger Under 225.5 pass yards

And

Tyreek Over 70.5 rec yds (he had 57)

Its pretty wild to me that they let you put those all in the same parley. Do we know how they derive the lines on these SGPs or is this a black box?

Black box. And the variance between books on SGP lines is insane. Yesterday I built Hill TD, Hardman TD, over 46.5, Mahomes over 280.5 passing. On DK amd MGM it was +1000. On FD it was +1977.

Ouch, no wonder these guys are giving away so much promo money. They must be milking people dry with these parleys. I hope some of you guys are finding the holes in these lines. I’m too old to try to figure this stuff out. I think.

Exactly. There’s a reason these SGPs are promoted non-stop. They are incredibly juiced. I’m not sure the DK promo of $3 free bet for every $10 SGP is even worth it. FD usually has the best odds for SGPs, but not always.

At least FD will give you the odds for every bet you place in the SGP, DK just gives you the option to add the bet to the SGP and then tells you the total odds of the SGP, not the individual bet…lol

Yea the books clean up on parlays and SGPs, and they are by far the most popular among casual bettors. An article from November had this stat:

That’s also why they’re so profitable for sportsbooks. Here’s the breakdown on New Jersey’s year-to-date profits via the state’s figures though October:

Parlay $335,232,531
Other $105,343,521
Basketball $75,282,173
Baseball $53,555,836
Football $38,600,964

Just an insane volume coming in on highly juiced bets.

Atrocious. So the states will take the skim off all these sucker bets but will still let the betting sites dump any customers who can figure out how to win? Nice system.

Also got my FD SGP on this game. Chiefs -16.5, over 46.5 total points. Over 9.5 Q3 points

Never a doubt

Yeah that’s how it works.

There’s still some clear +EV things in SGP’s from time to time but yeah they crush casual donks seeking that big payout. The wind game being the most obvious and greatest thing ever and hope it happens again.

Only a sucker bet if you lose!

who we like tonight, brothers and sisters?

other than Hopkins, who’s seemed to be way underutilized with Az. did they suffer any other significant injury losses? they beat LA’s ass in LA really early in the season iirc
