Give me an odd sports bet

Postby Pavel Bure » Sun Jul 26, 2020 12:43 pm

After the recent FanDuel debacle. I have $20 in site credit to bet. Your job is to tell me a bet with long odds where I can run that up if it hits. Ping pong, Israeli Basketball, Indian Cricket, I don’t care. Make it bad odds and I’ll bet it. If you have a couple I’ll spit my bets on up to 4.

The baseball parlay is a pretty obvious one...

Maybe look at what they're promoting...if they have a parlay bet boost or something...

FanDuel tried to **** me out of their 25:1 promo from UFC 251. They didn’t have the fine print for the promo posted anywhere. It wasn’t in their ads, it wasn’t on their site, and their own support people didn’t know how it worked.
.
Background: if you were a first time member, you received 25:1 odds on all 3 of the title fights for the card. Max bet for the promo was $5. Only parameter was you had to wager $10 or more dollars for the promo to kick in. I sign up and email support because the promo isn’t shown and it isn’t clearly defined anywhere. They get back and tell me it will be calculated after the fights. So, good to go. I put $5 on all 6 fighters to win. Based on the ads and support’s response this should be a no lose $375 coming my way.
.
Fights happen, next day I haven’t been given the 25:1. On with support, told I’d get $375, the promo was having a system error, and to wait 72 hours. I wait. No payment. On with live chat, same story, escalated to one of their “supervisors.” I save chat log. This happens a couple more times to the point I’m now being a squeaky wheel and they’re getting an email in the AM and a live chat in the PM. Finally get a response from the “supervisor” that the promo was only good for my first bet, which happened to be one of the losers of the fight because I went down the line when betting the 6. Supervisor includes some fine print not seen anywhere else. I respond with my documentation and this is their failure, pay up. FanDuel compromises and gives me a payout for one of the 25:1 for $125.
.
10 days to get that sorted, they didn’t even understand their own promo, and I’ll never wager there again. Only plus is I did make a risk free $95.
TLDR: 25:1 promo for UFC251.Fanduel unclear on bet parameters/rules. Fan duel tries to screw me out of $375. In the end screws me out of $250.

Damn most of the games have started. I’ll do this tomorrow. Lay $5 on four underdogs tomorrow, parlay, ???, profit.

I've found it easier to bet over/under in baseball but you do you. Parlays are a fun way to roll the dice on free bets

Never mind, it still let me place it since I selected before it changed but I had auto refresh on odds up so only got +920

How do they not have live betting...?

Anyhow, I understand it's a free bet...but with an underdog parlay, you seem intent on just throwing that money away for some reason...

If they have a casino, just throw it on 29 black and go for a 36:1 and call it a day...

There's literally a zillion ways for you to lose this money as quickly as possible haha

That’s what I was going to do originally. Unfortunately it’s only for the Sportsbook. I was going to do red, 1st and 2nd 3rd till I either got to $100 or was broke.

They have live betting. Once it hit that +1200 they locked live betting for a couple mins. Probably something to do with possible action it was getting. I don’t know.
