Without hearing from anyone I know, and been down the road of shaky bonuses in the past I have to say I honestly don't see anything that looks out of line here.
FWIW

Just heard back from someone who said they ran a promotion like this before and paid out the money no questions asked.
Only scenario I can think of is they are willing to pay $100 to get a new player, and one's with $1000 laying around, so all they have to do is lay off the bet on another, or several other books by taking Pittsburgh for whatever amount they are potentially stuck. They lose the Juice only if Miami covers, but pick up a ton of new accounts.

This is exactly what I thought it must be. It would make more sense for them to let you bet either side, but I guess they are just going to see what the total comes out to and lay the whole thing off elsewhere. Makes sense. It's a great way to get relatively high rollers in the door for $100 a piece.
Sucks that the line has moved a half point already. |

I'd hardly call myself a high roller LOL. Sure, I had the money kicking around in neteller, but I am far from that. If this comes through, I will likely take the girlfriend out for a really nice night on the town.

The only potential downside I see for the player is if you were gonna hedge you better do it quicky, if they start laying this money off on other books it COULD affect the line and the very last thing you want to do is get "Middled" in the deal, even though 5 is not a number to really be worried about it could still happen.

Im not planning on hedging it (Intertops doesn't even have the game available to bet on yet), but I understand what you are saying.

See, the beauty of it is this "technically" isn't a bonus offer. A bonus offer would be "X% up to $X of your initial deposit, X rollover". Here, it is a straight up bet, you win, you win, you lose, they refund the loss. I like. Just hope Roethlisberger stays off a motorcycle until after week 1.
