Freeroll

A comment on a recent post asked what a freeroll is.

A freeroll is a situation where, depending on the outcome of some future event, you might win some money but you have no money at risk.

A freeroll tournament is an event with no buyin requirements that pays cash prizes.

You might be freerolling on the turn if you and another player have the nut straight, but you also have a flush draw (if you don't make the flush you get your money back).

The freerolling reference I made in the previous post meant in a loose sort of sense. When some opponent is playing like an idiot you're freerolling in the sense that you're chances of a large win are much better than you'd thought they would be when you sat down. Using the strict definitino of the term it's not really freerolling.
