Semi-Meaningful Contribution

For those betting March Madness and with a BetOnline or affiliate account, here's a heads up. If you opt in, you can bet up to $100 today or tomorrow on any three seed or higher using the spread. If the three seed or higher loses the game outright, you get your wager back as free play.

That's not the unusual aspect of the promotion. What's unusual is that, for the first time in my memory, two of the three seeds are underdogs to the six seeds. TTech, a six seed, is a two-point fave vs. Arkansas. USC a six seed, is -1 vs. Kansas, which really surprises me.

I have never seen two sixes favored over two threes.

So, anyway, don't say I never gave you anything.

This was a little disappointing. I pointed out two free rolls on hoops games at BetOnline and didn't get so much as a thank you. The games were auto-profit.

I’m unable to take advantage. Don’t have account.

Looks like two, "Thank You's."

Despite the advertising, many frequenters of this site aren't hugely into sports betting and many others are wary of online casinos---even in some cases in which the online casino is legalized through a particular state. Of course, some of the ones through the states are actually powered (software/platform) by the same entities who were operating offshore as little as two or three years ago.

Anyway, it's just a question of target market. Also, not to question the creation of a new thread, but it might have caught more eyes in the March Madness thread or General Sports Talk thread. With all due respect, the title doesn't exactly give any specific indication of what the OP is about.

You're right, Mission. Instead of relying on people having some respect for my name or an interesting but non-specific thread title, I should have just titled it, "Free Money!!"

But wait....might that not have been confused with an MDawg thread?

Or, more likely, Shackleford would have seen the "Free Money!!" title, labeled it a "parody," and suspended me. He doesn't seem to really be into that whole "reading" thing.

.......................

I used to bet with betonline.ag
many times there would be a line for example...... - 2.5
I would click to bet it........................then a message would come up..................line not available
went back to the main screen - the line was now..........- 3

if it happened just once or twice okay
but it happened a lot of times

I'll never go back there

Mission gave some solid advice. You can lead a horse to water . . .

I don’t mean to actually bet. I mean if you think there’s a software algorithm that randomly, with some probability, moves the lines against the way you click to bet. Then outsmart the algorithm by clicking the opposite. If it happens, then go back and bet the other way and enjoy your free half point. If it doesn’t happen then go back and bet the unmoved line with no movement.

Or, maybe, it’s confirmation bias. This has happened to me many times but about half the time the line moves in my favor.
