Freebet/Matchplay

[seriousplayer]

Seriousplayer, I think you are misinterpreting some of the advice. The match play/free bet is about maximizing expectation. There is no special technique needing to be deployed in choosing the mathematically correct game to use a coupon/matchplay/freebet.

For a free bet you maybe could use it in any game and still get positive expectation but for matchplay you will need to put a bet to match the amount. For example, if the matchplay is $25 dollars you have to put $25 dollars of your own money on the table. If you are playing a game with negative expectation using the matchplay along with your bets. The house edge will take into effect. So it does matter. In a freebet you are not using your own money.

You will get paid 2:1 on your money so you will have a huge edge on any 1 to 1 bet no matter how steep the house edge. Of course some bets will still be better than others.
