Just a Heads up on a sportbook

Well got all excite that I could have possible won my first contest on a site. Come to find out If did. The contest was for the superbowl at Linesmaker.com. But just found out that the 2900.00 that I will win Has to be rolled over 20times before any withdrawl. Never heard such a thing but will never use them ever agian. Had good contest but I see why now. Stick with BJ. Or any of the other books.

just bet it all, and rid it for a streak.... assuming a 1;1 payout, you have to bet just 5 games, that will get you $92,800...

there's your 20x rollover (nearly 40x) and some extra cash

day one : 2900 to, 5800
day two : 5800 to, 11600
day three : 11600 to, 23200
day four : 23200 to, 46400
day five : 46400 to, 92800

Another sad example of how desperate the industry is getting. Years ago they did not have rollovers as they do now. It was a 1 x rollover. That was the industry standard. Now, the off shore industry is getting so desperate that they do things like that. If you are fortunate enough to win 20x the rollover, look for another excuse from them. It's too bad that many off shore books revert to this tactic and people who wager in good faith and are good enough to win contests have to go through this.

While I agree the rollover is excessive, BD - rollover (more than 1x) has been around forever when it comes to bonuses or contest winnings. Not saying 20x is right, just saying more than 1x.
