Yes. I use WynnBet and deposited $100.

They gave me $50 in my account with the stipulation that I have to bet a total of $250 total in a few weeks on games. With March madness hit that pretty quickly.

They also gave me a $100 “bonus bet” which is $100 you can make on one bet. If you lose you don’t lose anything. If you win, you keep the winnings. That hit and I think that’s the biggest game changer.

I then withdrew my initial $100 so was playing with essentially $150 in house money (which I can now withdraw at anytime) and all my winnings outside of that.

I would say my college basketball is the easiest to research for me so that’s why I did well. Winning that $100 free bet essentially put me in a good spot.

WynnBet also has one of the “worst” promos in theory versus the other apps.

Since then they have said if I deposit $50 I get a $50 free bet. I could do this twice. First bet hit so I won $40 with essentially no risk. Second bet going tonight. I will then withdraw the $100 I deposited so I’m playing with winnings only. Currently up $400 (with withdraw my $100 deposit tonight after my 2nd additional bonus bet closes).

The problem for a lot of people is chasing money. I bet $10 or $20 a game and do decent research before every bet. Once you go on a bad streak, people try and make it up in one shot… and bet maybe 5-10x what they normally do… and if they lose they enter a bad hole.

My plan is to worst case scenario lose $0 and win $0 and switch apps or continue using the bonus deals. This is not risk free obviously but I have a stable amount in my account right now.
