Nice offer from Canbet today . . .

**jjgold** · 08-19-05, 12:17 PM

Canbet has always ben a solid bookm from day one

**Mudcat** · 08-19-05, 12:18 PM

3X rollover by the way.

**taurus** · 08-19-05, 12:31 PM

deposit 200, get 100 added to your account plus a 20 dollar free play
3x rollover means bet 900 or 960 and whatever you have left is clear.
Right ?
I got the same e-mail
I quit canbet a year ago because I'm a lo-juice freak and they raised theirs from 107 to 110 , but this is pretty hard to pass up.

I got some junk mail from them, but no bonus offer

**Mudcat** · 08-19-05, 12:47 PM

Did you look closely marc? I also got a package of junk mail today and the bonus offer is buried in there too (on a blue and white card).

I'm a little unclear on what happens if you win your free bet. It looks like there's a 1X rollover before you can withdraw.

The email I got is entitled "Classic Reds v Blues, the Ashes 4th Test and the Turkish F1 Grand Prix!" DOn't see nay bonus offer. DId you need to call to get the bonus added, or is it automatically placed in your account.

I sent an e-mail to request the bonus. I'm not sure if that was necessary or not but I did and the bonus was added next time I looked.

It sounds like you got the IASbet package of junk. The package I got was all about American football and hoops (and poker and casino of course).

**Mudcat** · 08-19-05, 01:14 PM

Okay and I am officially down for my first bet of the NFL season. With my $20 free futures bet I have:

Indy Colts to win Super Bowl @ +575.

If Peyton comes through for me, I will take my $115 and retire.

:cool:

**marc** · 08-19-05, 02:51 PM

I called canbet and asked if I could get the bonus. The said yes.

Thanks Mudcat, thats an extra $100 in my pocket.

**taurus** · 08-19-05, 03:02 PM

Mudcat- Do you see any need to re-load any more than $ 200 ?
I am still mulling over Mansion, and will start a separate thread on it early next week.
Thanks for all your help.

I don't know your exact betting patterns but it probably makes sense to just start with the $200 (+$100). If you win your first few bets, then your balance will be up and you wouldn't have needed to deposit more.

If you happen to start out with a bad stretch but you like the lines you can reload and you'll still be in the same boat as if you sent it all up front.

Canbet has friendly policies for transfer fees so you shouldn't incur any extra expenses from that.

I know you like your reduced juice so the -107 at Canbet should be right up your alley.

I actually got something in snail mail today in regards to this. Nothing via email.... Interesting.

**taurus** · 08-20-05, 08:41 AM

Mudcat- I just deposited $ 200 into my zero balance Canbet account via neteller.
Thanks for the heads up. BTW, the 107 juice is just for NBA , which I don't play, and NFL- which I play very little. But I intend to give the NFL a go this year. What the hell. They give me a free $100 to work with.
I figure if I play 45 times at $20 risk, and hit 45% of my bets - I would lose $ 125, or just $ 25 of my own money. I would hope to hit better than 45% , of course.

Oh right, I forgot you were primarily ncaaf.

Well keep an eye on things here. My NFL picks from week 3 on have been hitting at 57% for about 15 years now. I obviously can't guarantee that this won't be an off year but maybe you can get some use out of them.

In any case, good luck.

**taurus** · 08-20-05, 08:58 AM

Thanks, Mudcat.
I'll take 57% any day. Or night.
Cheers. Taurus

Solid book, I am playing there presently and will have to take advantage of this one, thanks for the heads up. Though I was not offered the deal I will ask/try to get it. They don't give me bonuses anymore but perhaps they will allow this as it is a small re-load.

**why** · 08-20-05, 09:42 AM

wow, that was fast, it took all of 5 mins.. Thanks for the heads up Mudcat!
