Hey guys, dunno how many of you guys bet online, or use sportsbooks, but I came across this huge bonus that was creating a ton of buzz on some poker forums and wanted to know if anyone was going to give it a shot.

Essentially, its a huge, almost seemingly too good to be true deal, where you lay $1100 on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and bet that they win by 5 pts, over the Miami Dolphins on the opening game of the NFL season.

Heres the thing, if you lose the bet, you get your money refunded, 100%, and if you win, you win $1000, and get to keep the money.

Their doesnt appear to be any catch or anything, though I'm naturally a little bit leery, but I honestly think I'm going to give this thing a shot.

Mansion poker seems like a very reputable company, and I can't see them suddenly taking the money and running, especially with how much word of mouth and hype they are generating. It seems legit, and I doubt they would risk something so big and then screw you over.

I'm thinking I may do this, and then hedge a bet on The Dolphins on another site, so I would be guarenteed a payout of around $450, though I just may it all ride on the Steelers and pray for the best. Either way, I wouldn't be losing.

Found out about it here originally http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...0&fpart=1&vc=1

Which is a huge Poker forum, and the guys their seem to think its pretty good.

PS - I have no vested interest in this site or anything, just curious if anyone else would feel like doing this, or feel that the risks (of them not refunding or paying your money) are too great, which I can certainly understand, for that amount of cash.
