what the shit

I have used this site since 2010; freesportsbet.com was founded around 2009 and took off at the merger of centsports around 2011. It was renamed circa 2012/2013 sportsplays.com in a desperate attempt to appear more workplace friendly.

Long story this is a free tipping site, you don't and CANNOT deposit your own funds to make wagers, you are gifted 50c to restart through advertising sponsors, whenever you go broke. This site also provides a good beginners experience to sports betting through US sports as well as soccer & tennis. The site also provides a community aspect as well with user-user competitions, forum duscussions and an interactive live sports chat, though the client base has been heavily diluted down over the years with the sites near non-existent profit potential.

As mentioned the payouts are very minimal and the game play can be very restrictive in limiting stakes on winnings per bet and further restricting the higher you get and making you cash out between about 200-400 dollars.

The only way to really make consistent bank from this site is through their "full-access" feature which I'm pretty sure can only really be accessed in North America if not only the USA. You pay like 30 cents a day or something to have access to all its features, stats, "free" contest entry and 1 to 1 cash payout. (You only get half if you are limited access!)

Also, what should be said is the site, like most, survives on advertising. This site has 2 forms of currency in BONUS cash and primary balance. Bonus cash can be used to enter and win contests and even place bets but your primary balance is the current you can cash out.

Your mission is to convert bonus cash to primary balance through a wager for it to become useful, where the winnings ONLY is converted to primary, i.e. orioles @ +100. 1 bonus dollar to win 1  primary dollar. If you lose that bet you lose the bonus dollar, but if you win you are returned 1 PRIMARY dollar not the stake as well. The odds you can bet bonus cash on are capped at +100 for limited access users and +150 for full access users to prevent you gaining ridiculous amounts of primary balance from your bonus dollars, i.e. making a fair trade from the contribution you made to the sites advertising and well being to your own profit.

Of course you can also evidently just risk primary balance on wagers like a real punter..

So what's important to note there is that no primary balance is risked but can be earned using bonus cash and this is the method the most lucrative users use to earn on this site. To facilitate that style of gameplan you need copions amounts of bonus cash coming in and the only way to maintain that is really being a full access member so you can enter contests for "free".

Overall if you just stick to the safe gameplan of betting bonus cash and never risking primary it can be a reliable small source of income (you've earned probably near a thousand dollars on the year after tax in comparison to the $120 or so you've spent on membership for the year). A good number of welfare users are on this path and have turned it into a daily chore wherein they bet both sides of the spread for a guaranteed 1:2 return primary:bonus.

So yeah overall the only real competition occurs in the contests but then again as full access members can enter them for free then just troll the board with bets so any sense of good handicapping has been lost to this trading scheme.

it can also be noted the site is managed by monkeys who are reasonably competent but really don't get paid enough to give a shit about making sure everything is running as it should be 100% of the time, bets graded within a good timeframe or more sadly matches locking at the right time. (They used to lose hundreds of dollars to errors like that but it's mostly better now).

The sportsplays.com site is just a side venture of the mastermind who mismanages wunderdog.com as the identical lines and advertising quickly prove so as a user you're just a pawn in his likely ponsi scheme of online free sports betting experiences (jk, it does pay out).

How much profit does the site actually rake in a year and so how long will it exist? Cannot tell you but be sure to read the fine print in the rules page, he has his ass covered in regards to payments.

Overall experience is on a downward spiral proportional to the dementia propagated across its social interfaces as the site enlarges its font sizes and dumbs down most features to cater for its ever aging rest home escapees (glorified child abusers) seeking refuge from the loneliness of post work, pre-death limbo.

Known to both cure and manifest mental illness on a large scale, i give sportsplays.com the following ratings:

USA players: 4-5/10
Outside parties: 2-3/10
