Mansion Sportsbook Offer

I plan on running the $1,100 sportsbook offer shown above. Everthing about it appears impossible, but I really think it is legit. See at the bottom an email from PokerSavvy attesting to the validity of the deal, and an email from Mansion Support. If you want to run this you can make it a $1000 or nothing coinflip, or you can hedge it, and be a sure winner of $500. I will show you a way to make it even better than the $1000 coinflip. If you like the idea, use the link to the side under Bonus Whoring so I can get some credit.

First, sign up with pokersavvy through my link. Then sign-up to Mansion though pokersavvy following the instructions, and make the $1,100 deposit. If your credit card will work for a deposit, I would deposit as much as possible via credit card, and the balance with neteller. Using a credit card will alow you to stop payment on at least a portion of it if Mansion renegs. By going through pokersavvy, you will earn 900 savvy points which you can convert to $90 neteller, so you will get a free $90 in addition. Placing the $1,100 bet will clear the pokersavvy requirement making the extra $90 immediatly availaible.

Second, hedge the bet at another online sportsbook. If you want to guarantee a win you need to do this. World Sports Exchange has a 20% deposit bonus, and Bodog has an instant 10% bonus. You will need to bet 5x the deposit plus bonus on sports at either site to clear the bonus. Bodog also allows you to clear the bonus on poker, and is a decent poker site. If you are a big sportsbetter go with WSEX, if not use bodog. Also depending on how much sports betting you might do, you may want to under hedge it (i.e win 250 with miami/750 with pitt), then you will not have to bet as much afterwards to clear the bonus. Bodog is an instant bonus, so if you hedge there and lose, you could potentially just walk away.

Third, place your bets. Check the lines (to make sure they are the same or close at Mansion and another) and place the Mansion bet first. Make sure you bet on the -11 to win 10 line that they specify. You will want to get Pitt at -4.5 or 4 as the line as been jumping around. If the line is the same at another site, your hedge bet on Miami is golden. You probably will see a 1/2 pt difference, but no more. If you get pitt -4.5 at Mansion and Miami +4 elsewhere, and the spread lands on 4 your hedge will push and you will not win money (beyond the free $90, and sportsbook bonus), but all other outcomes will have you winning.

Its a little crazy, but its hard for me to pass up $500 with little to no effort. It looks like they are going to lock down the promo over the weekend, so be ready to place your bets around Tuesday next week.

Poker Savvy Email

Hi all,

We had to get out a quick email to let you know about an awesome offer at MANSION right now. It's really amazing and unlike anything we've seen in the online gaming world until now. (Thanks to PokerSavvy user brendanb for pointing it out to us). Here's the story. If you place an $1,100 bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Thurs Sept 7 game vs the Miami Dolphins, MANSION will guarantee that you don't lose:1) If the Steelers cover, you get win $1000 plus your original $1100 = $21002) If the Steelers do not cover, MANSION will refund your $1100 bet to your MANSION account within 3 days of the end of the game.So it's a totally riskless bet on the NFL regular season opener.Many users have said it sounds too good to be true and it does feel that way. But apparently MANSION did this same thing on an English soccer game a few weeks back and paid out the refunds as promised. They have very deep pockets and are trying to aggressively grow their customer base so that's why they're doing this. Our feeling is that it is definitely legit.And yes, you can also earn your 900 SavvyPoints worth $90 at Neteller when you sign up via PokerSavvy. And since you can clear the MANSION SavvyPoints with betting $50 in the sportsbook when you place your Steelers bet you'll automatically get your SavvyPoints at the same time. So combine that with the NFL offer and this is a huge promo.Thanks, and GO STEELERS!--The PokerSavvy Team
