I don think you understand his question. I believe he is referring to an online Sportsbook which gives out these free bets like they are going out of style. If it is a ‘free bet’ like the one I’m talking about, you DON’T get to keep the $100 whether you win or lose. Only the winnings the bet generates. There has been much discussion on another thread, but to maximize EV you want to bet underdogs. The longer the odds the less impact not getting the $100 stake is. I’ve been betting two or three team parlays that pay at least 4-1. I’ve done well so far…

yeah, I didn't understand it at first but i think soopoo is right, it's the mis-named 'risk free bet'. there is definite risk of losing it all.

the best return is to pick a big underdog, with a caveat or two. I think it needs to seem a good bet, not "just anything". The other caveat is that even a good bet on an underdog has variance. The bigger the underdogs, the bigger the variance you will experience even though the player advantage has grown bigger.
