Mansion Sportsbook Promotion

[tommyd7878]

I go this in an email, I don't do any sportsbetting ( beside proline in Canada) but I was wondering if it was worth it to do and what would be the best way to go about it.

Dear Member,

Simply visit the MANSION Sportsbook and place a minimum Point Spread (Handicap)
bet of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent) to win USD 1,000 on the Pittsburgh Steelers
for their game on Thursday 7 Sept 2006. If your bet is not a winner, MANSION will
refund your losses of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent) within 3 working days of the
result.

This deal is too good to miss. There’s no better way to kick off the NFL season and
no better place than at MANSION

Don’t miss out

The MANSION Team.

I'm doing it.

I think it's a cool marketing move on the part of mansion.

Risk free $1100 wager? Sweet.

Just remember the following things, though:
A) It's a MINIMUM of $1100
B) If you decide to hedge your bet by betting on Miami, DO NOT DO SO AT MANSION. That will void the promotion for you.
C) Also, make sure you use the sportsbook, and not the sports exchange. This is pretty important. Make sure you're laying -110, and not some other number, because if you're laying another number, chances are, you're in the sports exchange.
D) Mansion requires a fax of your driver's license to cash out. Thought everyone would like to know beforehand.

All that being said, this is sweet. You can either A) let it ride or B) bet $550 on the other side (Miami) at ANOTHER sportsbook to guarantee yourself $500 SOMEWHERE.

If you have any other questions, just post it in this thread and I'll try to find the answer for you.

And in answer to the question I'm sure is running through your mind, Yes. I am on this prootion already.

[SinkRox]

Ive done this, looks awesome, massive thread on 2p2 about it.

[Miffed22001]

i dont believe i just withdrew my bankroll and missed this.

[SinkRox]

I think this thread should be cross-posted a bit, many people will never check this forum but this is a sweet as promo.

[ensign_lee]

I think this thread should be cross-posted a bit, many people will never check this forum but this is a sweet as promo.

Ok. Go cross post it somewhere. Feel free to send them to this thread.

[Miffed22001]

i still cant believe i dont have enough cash online to take this.

[givememyleg]

Woah... ok so I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about sports betting, never have done it, and never planned on it.

So lemme get this straight... if I put $1,100 on pittsburgh, and they win, I will win $1,100 straight? And if they lose, I will get my $1,100 back? If I bet more, say $3,000 and they lose i get $3,000 back? No rake? No fees? No catch? Nothing?

[givememyleg]

C) Also, make sure you use the sportsbook, and not the sports exchange. This is pretty important. Make sure you're laying -110, and not some other number, because if you're laying another number, chances are, you're in the sports exchange.

I don't know what any of this means... think you could explain it to a nub like myself?

[tommyd7878]

I have a friend of mine who I was going to sign up to Mansion through me. I was thinking of giving him the $1100 for the bet as well. If Pittsburg covers then I would give him $300 or so since I am putting up the money. Then going to another site and putting $1100 on Miami so either way I am guarenteed to win $1100 or so and possibly $1700 if Pittsburg wins.

[SinkRox]

There are catches guys, theres is a huge thread on 2p2 about this so read it THOUROUGHLY if your going to hit it up, unless you play 600nl+ then this isnt really chump change, and some mistakes can cost you the whole 1100. its not 100%...

Leg, anything you bet OVER 1100$ will not be refunded. If you bet ANY less then you're not elegiable. If you bet thru their sports exhange which looks very similar, your not elegible. If you bet on miami first then ur out the promo, if you bet on both ways on the same site your out, and possibly if someone else from your ip bets then you're also out. Lastly, as with ALL promo's their t&c states they reserve the right to change the conditions at any time. Also if you make a hedge you need to do things right or you could loose ~500.

gl peeps and go steelers!!!

[tommyd7878]

Looks like I will be doing it? the question is now whether to hedge the bet or let it ride?

[givememyleg]

Could someone link to the 2p2 post please?

[tommyd7878]

Could someone link to the 2p2 post please?

sorry, tommy. We can't link to rival forums.

[SinkRox]

Its in their internet bonus' section:

(sorry. Can't link to rival forums)
{ensign_lee}

I got the bet at mansion at -4.5 so have made a 'true' hedge at pinnaclesports.com of about $545 on miami +4.5, so either way I should get ~460 profit, I lose out on ~$40 ev wise, but i'd prefer to spend $40 to get the 460. Id love to let it ride but my rolls too small for that imo.

[ensign_lee]

Woah... ok so I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about sports betting, never have done it, and never planned on it.

So lemme get this straight... if I put $1,100 on pittsburgh, and they win, I will win $1,100 straight? And if they lose, I will get my $1,100 back? If I bet more, say $3,000 and they lose i get $3,000 back? No rake? No fees? No catch? Nothing?

No.

Make sure to read the details before you start.

If you put $1100 on Pit and they cover the -5, you will win $1000. If they lose, you will be refunded your $1100 bet.

If you bet more, you will only be refunded $1100, not the amount of your entire bet.

As far as a catch, no. After this promotion is over, you can withdraw, but mansion is kinda cool, so if you decide to stay, you might like it. They have poker there, as well as a sports exchange.

[Tycho]

Man, this almost seems too good to be true.

I gotta tell my friends

[Miffed22001]

this promotion > me

btw.
1 when is the last moment you can sign up for this.
2. WOuld anybody help me do this as i have no idea what im doing and would prefer not to busto 5% of my br on being stupid

[ensign_lee]

Miffed. I can help you out.

Mansion actualyl iwll cover your instacash fees FOR you, so if you have the money sitting in your checking account, then you can have it mansion.

I've done this and read the T&C's through and through, so yeah.

Get on AIM and I can talk you through it or something. Otherwise, just post your questions here and I'll help you.

[r8ed]

Thanks for pointing this out, I'm in! Now I just have to decide whether to hedge. I wonder why they MAKE you pick the Steelers. Wouldn't making you just bet on that game accomplish the same thing - that being getting lots of money into their sportsbook to entice people to bet there? Maybe they feel the Dolphins will win or cover?? Strange.

I just did it (used your link ensign_lee). It is extremely simple. Use ensign_lee's link. It will bring you to their home page. On the rifght side is the promotion banner. I clicked that and read it. Then clicked on sign up. I signed up and deposited $1100 via Neteller which was instant. Then I clicked on Sportsbook, then NFL. The game is listed. There is a text box on the right side of the Miami/Pitt row. Put 1100 in the text box to the LEFT of that one. It will then populate the rightmost textbox with 1000. This means you bet 1100 to win 1000. Then click "add bet" and you are done. This is all USD but they have conversions for different currencies and when you sign up they ask your desired currency so it will probably adjust for you. Let me know if you need anything Miffy.

This is greater than 5% of my bankroll but I'm dumb.

[tommyd7878]

Ok I must be dumb because all I have is a box under the Pittsburg Steelers wit -4.5 ___ -110 and nowhere to put the bet amount. What am I missing?

Ignore this I figured it out.

[Miffed22001]

one final point. I have seven days to do this right? (7th sept)

[SinkRox]

Possibly not, theres no stated expiry and as with all bonus/promos they can end at any point... snooze you loose

[ensign_lee]

Maybe so, maybe not. They'll probably pull it once they get a certain amount of takers. They said that they reserve the right to end the promotion at any time or something like that.

[Tycho]

Damn, waiting for money to hit Neteller from bank account, hope I make it in time.

[ensign_lee]

If you can still cancel the transfer from your bank account to neteller, you should.

Mansion will pay ALL instacash fees. So cancel your pending transfer, and then instacash into mansion (from mansion's site).

[drtofu66]

I'm in. I wish there was some kind of message that you could get that would say "You qualify for the free bet!" or something.

[drmcboy]

I'm in. I wish there was some kind of message that you could get that would say "You qualify for the free bet!" or something.

i got on live chat support and asked to make sure, takes about 2 minutes.

[2_Thumbs_Up]

D) Mansion requires a fax of your driver's license to cash out. Thought everyone would like to know beforehand.

Passport should work too, right?

[ensign_lee]

Passport will work, yes.

[Miffed22001]

my br still isnt online

[ensign_lee]

Miffed: you can use instacash for FREE at mansion.

Everybody:

This deal is off until Monday, per Mansion. So uh...don't do it right now, k?

[SinkRox]

instacash is only available to u.s. peeps (live cs told me when I asked them to turn mine off lol)

[2_Thumbs_Up]

So it's done now. I never figured my first sports bet ever would be for $1k. BTW could anyone tell me what channel is it that airs this game. I live in Sweden and I'm trying to figure out wether I can see the game or not.

[ensign_lee]

Uh...I have no idea what it would be for Sweden...

[2_Thumbs_Up]

OMG I ACCIDENTLY PLACED THE BET IN THE SPORTS EXCHANGE!!!

































j/k

Anyway, I meant what channel airs the game in US. I may be able to see it on sattelite.

[SinkRox]

SkySports 1 is showing the game, I may buy it (10 quid for a month) and book the fri off work

Edit: Bet has Finished

MANSION is proud to announce the success of our season-opening NFL Cash-Back promotion, which has given five thousand of our Members a unique opportunity to place bets on Pittsburgh Steelers of USD 1,100 to win USD 1,000 (or currency equivalent) in their season opener at home against an in form Miami Dolphins.

Betting on the promotion has now ended after reaching full subscription with 5,000 MANSION Members having taken part, wagering USD 5.5 Million in the cash-back offer on the Superbowl Champions, Pittsburgh Steelers to defeat Miami Dolphins this Thursday September 7th.

If the Steelers lose or fail to cover the point spread, MANSION will refund qualified Member individual bets of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent) - presenting one of the most compelling season launching promotions by a betting company, with no strings attached and no rollover requirement. Naturally, should the reigning Super Bowl Champions beat Miami and cover the spread, MANSION will pay our Members over 5 Million in total winnings.

On paper, everything is there for the Steelers to become the ninth repeat champion in league history (and third in team history), but speculation on their 2006 regular season debut has been heightened, having struggled through a troubling off-season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers Promotion is further proof that MANSION is the home of choice and reward for our Members, and it "pays to belong” to take full advantage of the many best-in-value promotions and offers in sports wagering and first class member services.

MANSION wishes the best of luck to our Members who are participating in this promotion.

THANK YOU JOEY PORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope you all got in on this.

[ilikeaces86]

Ship It Holla! No hedge!

[Greedo017]

monay is in my account already

[Rabid Dog]

Mine too.

[DaNutsInYoEye]

Now the poker players just need to put that $5,000,000 into play.

[ensign_lee]

Start playing at mansion, maybe?

I want some reviews as to how it is before I try! Please?

[Al4As]

PT is not supported there, so it must be pretty soft.

[TerryToma]

THANK YOU JOEY PORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope you all got in on this.

wow, i totally missed this thread. i saw the other one and wondered why people were freaking out about the steelers!..

plus i had W. Parker on my fantasy team and decided to sit him this week.

[Tycho]

wohoooooooooo!!!

Easiest money I ever made.

[Rabid Dog]

plus i had W. Parker on my fantasy team and decided to sit him this week.

Not a good idea.

[Rabid Dog]

Fast cashouts too. W/D at 2am central and when I woke at 6:30am the money was in my Neteller.

[SinkRox]

What a result

Important Note to Whores:
Maybe it would be best not to cash-out the whole winnings straight once the games finished. It wouldnt go amiss to keep just 50-100 in there for some random bets, casino, poker etc.

...then maybe we can enjoy more of these in the future.

[r8ed]

Fast cashouts too. W/D at 2am central and when I woke at 6:30am the money was in my Neteller.

It asked me to contact CS to fax my license or passport which I have no problem with. You did that already?

BTW, thank you to OP and a special thank you to SinkRox for cross-posting this in the Online Poker Room forum - I would have never known.

[2_Thumbs_Up]

A $1000 richer for doing practically nothing.
Thanks alot Sinkrox for letting everyone know.

Good idea. I left $100 in my account and placed a couple of bets on weekend NFL games.

I emailed a scanned copy of my drivers license in the same day I opened the account. Didnt want to have to wait later on in case I needed the money.

I played a $10 SNG and won!!! Also got AA cracked in the NL100 so it's obviously rigged.

(Is that too small of a sample size )

BTW, thanks for the Steelers bet tip

[2_Thumbs_Up]

How long does it take until I can withdraw from when I sent in my ID?

[Jethro87]

mmmm i like my free $1k

[Tony]

Thanks for the heads up on this guys, and the new TV!

No hedge, straight up $1k in the bank. They processed my cashout in about 3 hours.


Tony

[AHiltz]

I missed my chance to hedge when they changed the line down to even from +4.5 when I wagered. I requested the cashout last night and went to bed. Money is in Neteller this morning.

[tommyd7878]

I actually did it for myself and gave my buddy the money to do it as well so I made about 2k canadian because i gave him 300 or so. Sweet deal cashed out my money and it's in my neteller and went and bought a new kitchen table for the house, very nice. Should have gotten a laptop though
