Mansion Steelers Promo-Please comment

If you are reading this, I want your opinion.

If the $1100 required for this promotion represented your entire online bankroll, would you do it?

Please comment.

As for whether or not to do it.....

I'd give it a big fucking maybe.

Hope that helps.......you are such a degenerate.

no...just because the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket concept is never a good idea, imho.

I'd say no, but simply because you'll be without any poker money for a little while.

Then again, what's it worth to you to double your bankroll? Mansion may not present an opportunity like this again depending on how much money they ultimately make or lose this time around.

Look at it this way -

I give you pocket aces and I give myself two unknown hole cards. I offer to give you $1K if your rockets hold up against my hand in a single game of hold'em. Would you do it?

It's a choice only you can make. If the promo is legit and the Steelers beat the spread, you're gonna feel awful.

Then again, if all us degenerates get screwed over, you'll come across looking like a genius!

Whole bankroll... oof. Tough question there.

Luckily I was able to hedge, so worst case sceniro (Mansion pulls their promotion, which isn't likely given they are not a fly-by-night sportsbook), I'll lose ~$150 if the Steelers don't cover (since I have a bet that pays $950 on the Dolphins for a similar spread).

I've made and lost fortunes 3 times. The gambler tells me go for it. Experience and the SOHK tells me to tread carefully....

hedge it if that's your entire bankroll. i'm sure you can dig up another $500 somewhere.

So did you drop the hammer on this thing or what?
