Anyone here been doing much with the Sportsbet "Double Your Winnings" promo? I've been smashing it, but Im not sure how the payouts actually work.

My understanding is, it's meant to work like this:

Stake $10 on Team X to win @ $2.25

Returns
Stake of $10 + Profit $12.50 = $22.50 in Cash
Profit $12.50 matched = $12.50 in Bonus Bet

However, up until Saturday nights games, using same criteria as the above example I've been getting 3 x $12.50 Bonus Bets.

Be interested to know whats been happening for others?

I would've loved to have tested your theory on the weekend but I couldn't pick a winner.

Pricks.

I have only cashed in on it once and it's slow moving, still not worth terminating IMO.

Anyone paid much attention to the Sportsbet tips they provide per race (I think via best bets nowadays)? Reckon you'd be well in front over the last few months with the frequency with which their "Best Of The Day" and "Best Value" tips have gotten up.

I haven't for some time, I found that they would try and get them on too early and would be way off.

On the odd occasion I've gone with them they haven't landed lol, but everytime I've considered it but gone on my own the bastards have nailed it :lol:

I do like their write-ups on the bigger overseas races, hasn't helped recently (bloody Moreira nailing my $80 job on the line Sunday night still stings), but when they have the moneyback promo's on the European races later in the year you can snag some real juicy value here and there.

Does anyone else take part in the Sportsbet “Box Seat” surveys? Seems as though they usually use it to gauge which Promos might be the most popular, and some/most of them usually come to fruition. Last weeks looked pretty appealing with them considering the following options:

- 2 races where you get paid out as a winner if your horse runs 2nd or 3rd
- 1 race where you get money back (in bonus bets) if your horse doesn’t win
- 4 races where you get money back if your horse doesn’t finish in 1st half of the field
- 6 races where you get money back if your horse finishes 2nd - 5th

Really like the first option
