i haven't seen anyone bring up that Diddy wanted to buy this team.

I'm flattered you remembered that comment.

Most of you people need to live a little.   Deposit 5 bucks, place a bet,  then use their $250 50 bucks at a time on some yolo parlays.   If you win, walk.  It's not hard.

keep your pants on... wasn't my money.  Fanduel new sportsbook gave me $250 bonus bets.  Carolina to win the south is +1000.  South isn't exactly great.  Crazier stuff has happened.  I'll take the free money if they do.

Jesus Christ, the odds on Caesars is +1400 you got robbed my guy

Why would anyone give you money to place a bet with them?

Had you been betting before but stopped for a while? If so, that's a great way to get you back into their cash flow plans.

Had you signed up for the service but never used it? Then it's a powerful way to motivate you to start betting. 

Just tiny little hooks to keep you dancing on the line for them. 

Sports booking/betting outfits really don't care if you win or lose, they are balancing bets against each other to keep the books straight. They make their money off of the vigorish or placement fees. They are interested in volume, keeping the number of people active and involved. Free money for bets, comped rooms, "VIP" bettor status, whatever it takes to keep the action rolling.

Gambling has always had a parasitic relationship with society. And man, it's on steroids now.

LOL credit card companies and even banks do this now. If you are disciplined its called Churning and its zero risk as long as you're not a moron.

Unfortunately, 49.5% of the population is below average intelligence which is already the intelligence of a soap dish.... soooo gambling companies make a lot of cash off of them.

Just because someone is stupid doesn't make it ethical to take advantage of them, even though it seems that's the way the world works.

Nah it’s a ‘bonus’. All casinos have crazy bonuses. 

My guess is he didn’t read the terms. Probably a stupid rollover where he’ll need to spend 500x what he wins to ever cash out lol

Or did read them and didn’t care. I guess it is just a bunch play money for entertainment I guess.

Maybe the "I'm up 1300" guy can chime in, but yeah as far as I've heard you have to "win" a certain amount before you can "collect" anything from them. You can't simply sign up, get $250 for free, bet, win, and then cash out and say bye.

You sure can. Most books will let you cash out into your bank account with as little as $10 in winnings. If you do it right you're playing with house money.

Has it always been that way? I don't bet but I swore I saw somewhere that you have to win a certain amount before you're allowed to withdraw the money.

You can cash out anytime you want.  You can't cash out the $250 they give you, but you can cash out your winnings whenever you like.

They were basically giving away free money at the beginning, you could bet up to $50  with +100 odds on 1+ shots on goal in Rangers Vs Hurricanes, also Hornets Vs Pistons 1+ total points scored in the game.

Like Sir Purr said above, you can't cash out the bonus bets they give you but anything you win from those is yours to keep. It has always been that way as far as I know.
