@arallmuus well, looks like you and me both got some sweet hits on that 1mbtc freebet eh? I actually did pretty okay with freebets finishing them all up over the last 2 days:

Pretty solid start to the new year for me, considering these were all freebets from forum promos.

Yep pretty solid start for both of us. Well atleast this would make up for my 'loss' in the live casino hero ( well not loss but break even oh whatever ). Good starting balance for the year, might use it on some BJ special bet later today if I could catch one. Its been a while since I participated in one

Have the rewards increased? It seems a little random to me, like sometimes the amount goes up and down, even though you progress higher and higher.

It is a bit random, it is possible to get really small rewards in higher ranks as well as quite nice reward early on. Then it also depends on BTC price, I believe Sportsbet is doing the math in fiat and pays off in BTC per actual rate.

I think the rewards are higher when you progress to the higher ranks i.e from Silver to Gold the rewards should be much higher than what you actually get from all those Gold rank milestone. I think I chose 0.5 mbtc free bet as the reward for getting to Gold, this is much higher than any other milestone reward in silver or gold

Speaking off, looks like we got credited 33 mbtc -- I'm actually not 100% sure of the exact amount as I didn't keep track of my wallet balance but it should be 33.33 as the final scoreboard shows exactly 30 people left. Definitely keep betting on BJ specials. It's remarkably +EV for some strange reason!

Well done to all of us =D

Yeah, I think I even got 0.25 mbtc freebet on Bronze level once last month IIRC or one of the early Silvers, and then a bit lower on all the Gold tiers. I hit probably only 1 of them on a big special and everything else lost haha but there's definitely been an increase in BTC amounts as I'm pretty sure I never got even 0.1 mbtc per level in past months. Never got 0.5mbtc freebet I'm sure, but I'll keep an eye out now.

[Trofo]

Never got 0.5mbtc freebet I'm sure, but I'll keep an eye out now.

I remember good old days when my every reward in higher tiers was over 5 mBTC. But as I said they are connected to the BTC price so it is difficult to get to the real value in retrospective. BTC was way less than now, maybe closing on to 20k but I am just guessing.

I am taking just cash rewards, and I get 0.3-0.4 mBTC in gold sometimes, sometimes it is way less. Sort of like if I pass trough multiple tears in the same day I get way less than if I open them ever second day for instance. Could be just a feeling though.

I don't think about rewards much, I just collect them and bet again

Yeah that number should be right. Oh well right on break even for me, great experience though definitely going to participate for the next one because this live casino contest is kinda EV+ as well if we can get to minimum 40 players at the end of the contest

Never got 0.5mbtc freebet I'm sure, but I'll keep an eye out now.

Yeah I got one last month



0.5154 mbtc exactly. I think this was it, just look at that random number though, obviously thats not credited by steve or sportsbet nor do I ever bet with that kind of random number. Kinda shame that this one didnt hit lol, the odds was totally great though

[slaman29]

Yes! Also +33 mbtc for me too. Happy days for us all! A small profit for me also, I must learn lessons and get an AI clone to roulette for me every day next year

So it's not just my imagination then Trofo as I'm sure the rewards go up and down from tier to tier and also definitely has increased in BTC amount. Which is definitely strange as BTC price actually is more expensive now then it was 6 months ago and I'm almost 100% sure rewards was lower 6 months ago! Maybe now it is being fixed fluctuatingly.

I choose freebets or cashback depending on mood. I should choose cashback more often...

It actually depends on your planned ticket odds. Free bets look like totally not worthy since they are just marginally bigger than cash back. In order to get cash from your free bet you have to hit @2.0 odds. That is why I never choose free bets. On the other hand as buwaytress pointed out to me if you play them on high enough odds the situation changes, but we are talking real high odds here.

Definitely go for cashback, unless you're going to use it on sports betting anyway with odds above 2/1 as Trofo says. And then make sure you don't put it on singles, because voided freebets just go away to a dark corner and never come back. I've always gone for freebet, and always put my freebets on specials or accas simply because I don't bet in casino (except obviously for the challenges).

For me, it's a fixed 10% additional amount in btc on freebet as compared to cashback. It's not good enough to take the risk, but that means a 10/1 bet with cash becomes a 11/1 bet with the freebet.

I'm also doing the same, I used to go for free spins but after you guys pointed out the difference in the main thread few months ago I suddenly switched to cashback no matter what since most of the reward ranges from 0.05-0.08 mbtc.

Last month I think the highest amount i've seen was 0.1 mbtc but I still took the cashback and I remember there was an instance where the cashback was higher than the other rewards.

I tried slots a long time ago I think and didn't really enjoy it. I find that most forum people who bet on dice (which is the ones I knew the most before Sportsbet) all don't really play slots, I feel like maybe it's something very different as an appetite for sports people also.

So yes, at the moment I guess I am going to switch a lot more to cashback now just to "save" myself some money

[rdbase]

I also take my rewards in cash back now because when I did take the free bets there is usually a match that gets postponed or cancelled so it voids the entire bet so I ended up losing it because of that.
Currently at silver gets around $5 in mbtc for each one when I progress through the ranks.

[slaman29]

I just only today noticed something new in my email sent by Sportsbet a few days ago regarding Kabbadi 4-3-free promo and it looks quite interesting I've to say, or rather, I'm much more glad for this rather than cricket lol

I know most of you guys are getting football and I get cricket because of the region thing from my access point but I think Kabbadi seems a lot more simpler to predict than cricket.

Check it out!

[ralle14]

Unfortunately, my current round is still the same(football) but i'm not complaining since it's free to play after all.



Also, what do you guys have for the AFCON promotion? I haven't locked my pick but looking at the groups, Morocco seems solid @9.00.

[Trofo]

I did not know that they have different sports for different regions.

Yeah good for you, Kabbadi is so much more easier to predict than cricket, especially for us Europeans who don't even know what Kabbadi is  Tried googling it but I am now even more confused 

I hope to see more tennis promos personally and I am sure we will get at least something for AO. I am a bit disappointing we don't have a market like "Will Djokovic attend this year AO?". If we had presidential elections, then this one is gold for sure.

I used to take free bets as well but since they often postponed matches, I also switched to cash back. I find it better than losing the free bets or spins that I have. So far, I find cashback more useful this time. I also find the rewards justifiable this time, especially for higher ranks.

I think I mentioned it in the main thread a while ago last year that I wasn't getting the 4-3free anymore and someone said it was because of region. So now my promos are all cricket and now I guess Kabbadi, and the freebet prize is also given out in INR and not BTC or USDT like you guys, also I don't get the Bet6 promo.

It's all region restrictions. I can't wait for AO special again too. Osaka and Djokovic one remember? Both were so awesome as they both won so we won outright plus many freebets.

Steve mentioned Kabbadi some time back maybe even pre-Covid and something about Sportsbet trying to locate a new sport to follow and help in its rise. The Youtube videos are pretty interesting but you know how it is, every sport highlights the best, like I LOVE kick volleyball (the weird English name for my local sport "sepak takraw") but in general it's only really good to watch at a high tournament level, and the rest of it's pretty shit heh. But you could say the same for football and tennis anyway!

Let us know if you find that "Will he or not" market. I'm going yes if odds are like Trump yes or Brexit yes (which I happily won back then) =D

This AFCON has been a strange one with almost all matches ending in a 1-0 score line. Atleast 9 out of the 12 played so far.
Don't know if anyone caught the match earlier today in the tournament but there was a referee that stopped a match at the 85' minute instead of the full 90'.
I wouldn't think this is allowed at any professional soccer match as I have never heard of this being done. But the Tunisia team was wanting it to be redone due to this mistake by the officiating team.

I saw this in the Afcon thread and yes, I think that's pretty ridiculous for any standards, and now his entire nation and even continent will probably hate him for bringing embarassment to them.

The match was actually restarted, to play out the full time and injury, I read, but Tunisians refused to go back out to play, Mali waited for them on pitch.

I think it's a bit silly to ask for replay, being the loser
