If you go back to 888 and reopen the sports betting, then click on your selection slip, you will see your bet, the odd's and the payout. this way you can see how much your gonna win. last time i had $3.00 sports bet i bet on blue jays and i won only $3.60. good luck with your bet.

I did won to $2.00 the $5.00 mentioned in 888 mail is just thin air. It is just an amount that you can bet that have no value to you if you win you are just getting the profit.
First i thought that i could win the $5.00 plus the odds i just want to much from them.
1,40 means you're betting on the favorite. You're only gonna get your bet back + 40 cents per dollar if you win.
If you want to win big with sports bet, you have to do combined bets and bet on underdogs xD But then it's a lot more risky to lose everything. Combined bets are when you bet on 2 different teams, they both have to win but the odds will add up. So if it's 2.40 and 1.75, then you're gonna get 4,15 so more than 4x your bet if both teams win.

yes , every free bet either on 888poker or pokerstars you can bet the 5$ on any game but you only keep the winning .. they always keep the 5$ so if i were you i would have bet on a game with higher odds .. if you got lucky and win , you make big bucks there is a member here that got 5$ from pokerstars and bet on a game with odds 10 and won he took 45$ home without risking anything
