Wacky Matchplay Question
Why on earth do they do this?
Lots of casinos do that.
Kinda silly if you ask me. It's not like you're gonna take a day and make the trip, score that guaranteed one hit and go home....
If it were me, I'd simply make it that you could one use one at a time.
Quote: dlevinelawIf you take a bus to Mohegan Sun from Boston or New York, you get $50 in Matchplay (2X$15, 1X$20 coupons). In Roulette, these are good for RED or EVEN bets only, not BLACK or ODD. I thought this was a typo, but when I asked, they confirmed.

That is a good one. I was thinking it would be to avoid you betting against yourself to cut loss probability to 5.25% but after I thought on it you could still do that. Possibly they did that just to get you to read the coupon?

Still makes sense though...I never even thought of that, but the coupon also says you can only use one at a time. Maybe this stops you from colluding with someone else there with you...

Now that makes sense. $10 profit each with an expected loss of $2.10 total.
