Mansion And Betwwts


Recommended Posts

Well, I went to make my football parlays for the weekend today and got a weird error message on Mansion. Talked to the online support guy and he directed me to a press release announcing that the Mansion Casino and Sportsbook are now closed to US customers. Strangely, the Poker Room and Sports Exchange are still open. I don't seen how Poker and Sports Exchange bets would be legal under the new law where Casino and Sportsbook bets would not be (seeing as how the new law doesn't distinguish between types of gaming...just that US banks cannot fund 'online gaming sites').Anyway, since I had opened an account on BetWWTS to take advantage of a no-loss bet a while ago, I decided to try there next. They had a convenient message right on their front page saying that they were no longer accepting wagers from US customers. Strike two.I ended up going to Bodog, checking if they were still accepting US wagers, couldn't find anything to the contrary, opened an account, and finally got in my bets for this weekend. I guess Bodog will be my sportsbetting home until either Mansion opens back up, or Bodog shuts down to US customers.This new law is really starting to piss me off.

I haven't tried to bet in about a week, but this kinda sucks b/c I opened a Mansion account so I could bet sports. I may have to go back to Bodog even though I'd sworn not to after the **** they pulled on the WSOP double bracelet winners bet.

I have a problem with Mansion too. I made a few bets on individual football games last weekend and a parlay. Now they won't give me my money. They tell me you only get cash if you win the bets or some ****. ****ing rigged.

care to share any good picks for the weekend? I have got killed the last three weeks college and pro
I don't think you want my advice...I, too, have been on a downturn. The only bet I have been paid on in the last 3 weeks was a 4 team parlay where I won 3 and pushed 1. I have still yet to win a single NFL parlay, and the only NFL bet that I have won was the $1000 Mansion promotion. I'm still up $400 from sports betting AFTER the the promotion (so $1400 overall), so I can't complain too much, but the NFL sucks as far as betting goes.

Why do you bet parlays?? The vig is GINORMOUS! Everyone always laughs about people plying craps and roulette, yet you go and bet a parlay which can sometimes carry a 15-20% house edge. Bet the games straight up. Spread your money out and your bankroll will last longer.

Betting straight up has a house edge too, and you have to put too much at risk to win a substantial amount. I put $100 on Mansion a while back, and every week cashed it out back to $100. I cashed out a total of $355 over 3 weeks, and I only hit 3 parlays.I only put $50 at risk every week, and if I hit all 3 parlays that I bet, it would be a $600 win. I only have to hit one $10 parlay every 2 weeks to do better than breaking even.I was just screwing around with that wad of money that I made off of the Pittsburgh - Miami promotion, and ended up winning some more. I'll bet my way, and you're free to bet your way...provided you can find some place to take your bets.
