milwaukee mike Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Would attack but suck at horses wait for a 1/5 favorite in a 5 horse race and bet $100 to show on it. do that twice. almost certainly win them both, if something stupid happens you're still up $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get hit w cash advance from CC though. May just use those prepaid CCs if attacking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 All horse racing sites treat it as cash advance And they charge fee on top of it Posted about this last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August West Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I linked my checking account, but I play the horses, so that's most convenient. Lot of these sites suggest Green Dot Money Packs. Never used them but pretty sure you can buy them at CVS/Rite Aide, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsox24 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Checking acct is definitely the best option. Fast, free deposits and you can cash out right to the same acct and its there within 1-2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVU Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 This. this was the exact strategy i used for the xpressbet promo years ago and netted close to 1k in every acct i did it in.The danger is everyone using this strategy on the same horses or a horse that should be a small fav getting bet down by bonus players changing the odds to 1/5 or so.

When I'm making show bets to complete rollover, I'm perfectly content getting payouts of $2.10 or $2.20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyF0cker Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 You're virtually never going to get more than $2.10 (or $2.20 in West Virginia) on a show bet on a 1/5 horse anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Show bets don't change the horse's win payoff odds. Jeez. this only thing I would add to the strategy is be careful of trotters at short tracks, they go offstride quit a bit... if you're gonna do harness races stick with pacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 for example the 1st race tonight at the red mile... #2 could easily go off at 1-5 or even 1-9 but that horse has gone offstride twice lately as a huge chalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsox24 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Monkey is correct. My $100-$200 show bets obviously don't affect the horses odds at all. It could lower a show price from $2.20 to $2.10 but if my horse is 1/5 on the board anyway, I'm content getting $2.10 and just getting the rollover done.

Brayden11 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I modified the spreadsheet that was built for the $1000 bonus a couple years back for the $200 bonus now. It allows you to bet every horse in the field in 1 race to get back your $200 less the track takeout on a win bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're guaranteeing a loss of takeout + breakage if you dutch every horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go here to see track takeouts...http://horseplayersassociation.org/2017Sortable.html The downside is you're going to lose 15% ($30) on the rollover at say Del Mar but you eliminate any risk since you're betting every horse to win in the field, proportionate to the horses odds.
