Too good to be true; Got Neteller Money?
 


This all over the place at 2+2. Apparently, this deal isn't going to go on forever, so if you have Neteller money, get it moving.

The only thing I'm worried about is my license, credit cards, and residence all have different addresses associated with them due to my laziness. Still might do it anyway.

Wow, hopefully this works out.

melioris 08-27-06 09:25 PM

are they trying some version of a google bomb to manipulate the spread or something?

PShabi 08-27-06 09:42 PM

Beats the shit out of me, but I've got $1100 on Pittsburgh at +5. $1000 freeroll baby! This is the first time I'm going to care about a football that the Bears aren't playing in during my lifetime!

My noob ass almost placed the bet on Miami accidentally. That would've sucked.

Also, I contacted live support asking questions so many times in the last 30 minutes, that when I got them for the last time, to confirm the bet and that it was covered, they responded with:

"Hello again."

What's that thing people always say about if something sounds too good to be true.............?

I haven't even looked at this yet - just saying.

PShabi 08-27-06 10:34 PM

Yeah, and rakefree at WPEX was too good to be true a few months ago too. It draws in business. Plus, I've got live chat support dialogues emailed to me covering my ass. They did this during the World Cup and the bet was a loser. Everyone got the money back.

Talking Poker 08-27-06 11:10 PM

Don't get me wrong - I'll definitely look into it and probably do it.... just saying.

PShabi 08-28-06 12:24 AM

I wouldn't drag the feet homey. That's liable to be pulled down anytime, and it's within their T&C to do so. It's being spammed everywhere.

Lucky for me, I had $1700 that I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT in Neteller!!!!

lightfungus 08-28-06 12:36 AM

I found a 5 dollar bill in my car seat I was pretty stoked about...:(

Talking Poker 08-28-06 01:22 AM

Why don't I see anything on Mansion's site about this? I made an account and made a deposit, but it sure seems to me like I'm just placing a bet. Where are he "terms" you are talking about? Or is it too late already???

PShabi 08-28-06 01:26 AM

I didn't see it either. I questioned it on 2p2 and people were like, I don't know how you missed it, but again, I didn't see any advertisement. I asked live chat support if it was indeed an running promotion and the answer was yes.

I suggest you do the same.

PShabi 08-28-06 01:28 AM

Here:



in the middle and on the right

Now go get it!

Halo7 08-28-06 01:32 AM

Heya all, glad you like my guide. Too see all of the details on Mansions site, just click on Home then it is right on the front page under "Sportsbook Promotion". If you still don't see it there, click on the Promotions link under the Navigation bar on the left hand side of the page and it should be right at the top.

Halo7

Talking Poker 08-28-06 01:32 AM

Found it. Straight from Mansion's site:

-----
Pittsburgh Steelers 2006 Superbowl Champs Promotion
Simply visit the MANSION Sportsbook and place a minimum Point Spread (Handicap) bet of USD 1,100 to win USD 1,000 (or currency equivalent) on the Pittsburgh Steelers for their game on Thursday 7 Sep 2006. (00:30 GMT 8 Sep 2006)
If your bet is not a winner, MANSION will refund your losses of USD 1,100 (or currency equivalent).
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.

Talking Poker 08-28-06 01:36 AM

Done.. and done!

Now... the only question that remins is if I should hedge my bet or not elsewhere.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............ I actually like the Steelers minus 5. I may freeroll this one and hope for the best.

I wonder what Penguin thinks of this???

PShabi 08-28-06 01:37 AM

If that is your guide, thanks a lot for making it. Helped a lot.

PShabi 08-28-06 01:38 AM

Hedging is for pussies on this one man. No hedge here.

Boobie Lover 08-28-06 01:43 AM

No hedging here either.

Talking Poker 08-28-06 01:43 AM

hehe... Goooooooooooo Steelers!!!

And yeah, nice guide, Halo7. I take it you noticd some referrals coming from here?

It's a shame I didn't have a little more notice or I would have gotten my own Mansion affiliate links up and running first (I actually am an affiliate). Your guide was helpful enough though that I don't mind you getting a little somethin somethin from me for your troubles. :)

Windbreaker 08-28-06 01:53 AM

I'm not sure if you consider this span or not TP, but if you do, then just take it down...I don't have an affiliate link or anything (maybe you can get an affiliate account with them.....), but for those who want to hedge their bets....you can either do a sign up bonus at sports betting sites, or at , you can get a 25% bonus on your first WINNING wager over $100 dollars up to a maximum bonus of $100.

So for those hedging... if you put about $400 on Miami at Superbook....you'll either profit ~600 if Steelers cover, or get about $500 if Miami can beat the spread.

Either way, it's very important for ppl heding to make sure the spread covers your action both ways.

Eg. Mansons spread is Pittsburgh -5. If the spread is Miami +4.5 for your hedge ....you're going to be out the money you bet on Miami if Pittsburgh wins by exactly 5....but if Miami is -5.5, then you will win money no matter what happens.

Talking Poker 08-28-06 02:13 AM

Good tip. And no worries about the SPAM. If I hedge my bet, it will be at my usual Sports Betting site (10 years and counting now!):

Halo7 08-28-06 02:16 AM


Hehe, thanks every little bit helps :) I somewhat obsess about my visitors and use the coolest real time solution on the market ( ). It tells me everything about visitors in real time and is cool to boot. When I saw a couple of folks coming from this thread, I popped over to see make sure it was all good things being said LOL.

Nice site yourself BTW.

Halo7

JDMcNugent7 08-28-06 02:17 AM

this is crazy.
if 10k ppl do this and pittsburgh wins they just lost 11 million. (and that could easily happen)
it doesnt seem like this promo would generate an extra $11 mill.

GeoffM 08-28-06 11:57 AM

Is this Mansion Casino trustworthy? What is to stop it from taking all the bets, then promptly closing the site down and making off with the $11 million as mentioned above?

Tony Cheval 08-28-06 12:18 PM

...I dunno, has eejit ever mentioned running a casino site?
