Free $450 Dollars

No, really.

First off: I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IF YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS.

There might be a catch I'm missing. The company may go bankrupt in a week and take everyone's money. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Etc, etc, etc.

I did transfer about $1,600 to two sportsbetting sites though. I do a lot of dumb things though, so that should be more of a deterrant.

Here are the details.

Essentially, Mansion, a sportsbook site, is offering to match a $1,000 bet for anyone who places a bet on the Steelers in the Steelers/Dolphins Week 1 NFL game. You bet $1,100 ($1,000 bet + $100 fee). The Steelers win by more than the spread (5 points), you get $1,000. If they lose or win by the spread or less, they refund you the $1,100.

The way you guarantee winning something is by placing a bet on the Dolphins on another sportsbook site for about half that amount. So whatever happens, you win some money.

I was very hesitant to post this because while it looks legit, you can never tell with these things, and I would feel horrible if someone lost a lot of money because of this (it would take a while for me to feel horrible for you though because I would be feeling very horrible myself). But we're all adults and capable of making our own decisions and taking responsibility for them.
