This is a great time to be a sports bettor. As sports betting becomes legal in more and more locations, the various sportsbooks are all vying for your business.

Targeting daily odds boosts bets can be one of the best ways to take advantage.

Each day I’ll be highlighting some of the best odds boosts across the industry and where you can find them.

Tuesday is a bit light on sports action, but there are some odds boosts available in the major soccer leagues. We also have golf and UFC to look forward to later in the week, and there are some odds boosts we can target in those sports as well.

English Premier League

Arsenal vs. Leicester City (3:15 p.m. ET start)

Boosted bet: Draw +265 (up from +240 on DraftKings)

DraftKings sportsbook is offering a slight odds boost on the draw in this contest, which pits two teams in the top seven of the EPL standings.

Leicester City enters this contest in third place, but Arsenal owns the advantage in recent form. They’ve won four straight games, while Leicester City has won just one of their past five contests. Overall, Arsenal is a slight favorite in this contest despite their inferior record.

That said, Leicester has won each of their past two meetings vs. Arsenal, including their matchup earlier this season.

If this matchup does end in a draw, don’t expect it to be 0-0. Leicester has scored the third-most goals in the Premier League this season, while Arsenal has scored at least one goal in 11 of their past 12 outings.

Italian Serie A

AC Milan vs. Juventus (3:45 p.m. ET start, available on ESPN+)

Boosted bet: Juventus to win and Cristiano Ronaldo to score +200 (up from +150 on FoxBet)

You’ll need Juventus to win and Ronaldo to score to win this bet, but both of those occurrences have happened pretty frequently this season. Juventus has won a ridiculous 24 of their 30 matches this season, including a 1-0 in their first matchup vs. AC Milan.

Ronaldo has also racked up 25 goals over 26 Serie A games, including each of his past four. Overall, he has averaged 0.76 expected goals per 90 minutes this season, so he is always a threat to put the ball in the back of the net.

PGA Workday Charity Open

Thursday 6 a.m. ET start

Boosted bet: Jon Rahm to win +1405 (up from +1300 on DraftKings)

This week’s PGA event features a relatively light field, with no Dustin Johnson, no Bryson DeChambeau and no Rory McIlroy. Justin Thomas is the favorite to win the event at +1100, and Rahm and Patrick Cantlay are just slightly behind at +1300.

If you’re interested in betting on Rahm, you can grab an odds boost at DraftKings to increase his odds to +1405. That said, his recent performances leave a lot to be desired: He owns a missed cut, a T33, and a T37 in his past three events.

Make sure to check out our golf coverage to see what we’re expecting from Rahm this week.

UFC 251

Saturday 6 p.m. ET start

Boosted bet: Kamaru Usman to win vs. Jorge Masvidal -275 (up from -300 on PointsBet)

This bet is currently sitting at -275, but it should continue to drop leading up to the start time. PointsBet will drop the odds with every 100 bets, and all customers will get paid out at the final numbers. That means that even if you grab it now at -275, you will get to reap the benefit of the reduced odds if they continue to decrease. That could result in a ton of value.

It’s not surprising Usman is a pretty large favorite heading into this contest. He’s won 15 straight decisions, while Masvidal wasn’t even his intended opponent in this fight. He was a late injury replacement for Gilbert Burns, who tested positive for COVID-19.

Boosted bet: Volkan Oezdemir, Amanda Ribas and Rose Namajunas All to Win +200 (Up from +167 on FanDuel)

This is a nice little odds boost if you’re looking to parlay three favorites on this card. Ribas is a monster -950 favorite vs. Paige VanZant, while Oezdemir is -166 vs. Jiri Prochazka and Namajunas is -198 vs. Jéssica Andrade.
