Signed up with paradise poker for the gift offer ..... but when i logged in today i saw i had 35 euro extra in my account ...... got in touch with them and they told me they gave it to me for sport betting only .... but i have to turn it into 150 euro (or wager it to 5 times its value) before i can use the money for poker or withdraw it .. Anyway i know nothing about betting .... can count the number of times i bet on horses and soccer on one hand decided to place a bet on a horse for a laugh .... put 1 euro on a horse ... AND IT WON ..... picked another and it came second ... dam hadnt put it each way ..... so have 50 cent on my next each way will see how i get on
Any way thought it was nice to get the free money ..... just wonder will it last long or will my inexperience at betting blow it

Why dont you try to limit the losses by betting on football then there can only be three outcomes, One side wins the other side wins or they draw. Much better than trying to pick a horse out of the bunch! I have bet on both before but to be honest I'm crap at that...lol Not much better at poker but at least I controll the out come (most of the time)

You should search for some "sure" bets, like who is going to win in Estonia vs Brazil football. Prize is low, but risk is at minimum and that way you can clear your bonus wagering reguirment. Unless there is some extra point, that you have to choose odds higher than 1,5 or something. For clearing bonuses i only use odds 1,2 and lower. Dont know, if odd is right word here.
