    $216? How many legs had come in? I don't object to early cashouts like some do but that's just silly.

    Update: Put the $21 free bet on Yordan Alvarez to homer last night. Cash. Need to find another one for today, keep striking while the iron is hot.

    Okay, a question for my gambling friends.
    Because I live in CA, I only have bovada. I have only read the stories of citizens of other states signing up for sportsbook apps and getting seemingly endless sign up bonuses and money.

    My friends and I are planning a college basketball trip early next year to the state of North Carolina to watch UNC, Duke, NC State, etc. As soon as the wheels touch down, I am ready to sign up for books, get the bonuses, and have a great week, and delete the apps. But, are there play through requirements for these online apps that would require a LOT of betting before I cash out? How does it work in, say, North Carolina? How should I proceed?

    Did someone say playthrough?

    Generally there's no playing requirements with the major apps, where most of the offers seem to be like "bet $10 get $200 in free bets." They're usually doled out in increments like four $50 chits and then it's a matter of whether you're swinging for the fences with parlays and big dogs or just trying to grind out -110 winners and pocketing the cash.

    @poindexter : I signed up with Draft Kings on a weekend visit to North Carolina this spring. Hit on my free bets and then cashed out my deposit that following Tuesday no problem. Left the remainder in my account to play on future visits--my son lives there, so we're making regular trips up there to visit. Money was in my bank account instantaneously (it took them a couple of days to actually process my original deposit out of my account). I don't know if there would have been any restrictions if I had wanted to cash out the entire balance, but it doesn't seem like there would be.

    Hit my biggest Euros future today — over 2.5 shootouts. Also, as soon as the Swiss took the lead, took England to advance at +400. A good gambling day.

    Just won $5 on the Wimbledon women’s wheelchair doubles final. A little pre gaming for Euro and Copa. Degen!

    spain 2-1 over England is +1000. Some pizza money on that.
    Saka with a shot on target +125
    Olmo with a SOT -130
    corners over 7.5 -130

    Draw for Copa +175
    Cards over 6.5 +120
