The quickest way to build your bankroll is to take advantage of all the deposit bonuses, odds boosts and free bets the sportsbooks are currently offering. You still have to pick winners, but you can be wrong more often and still grind out profits if you are smart about where and how you spend your wagering dollars.
This weekend is no exception, and I am going to point out some of the best ways to take advantage of that free money in order to boost your bankroll.
FanDuel Sportsbook free bet
Many of my friends from the Garden State already have a FanDuel Sportsbook account. For those that do not and anyone in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, West Virginia, Tennessee or Iowa or the newly added Michigan and Virginia, this is a good deal. FanDuel will reimburse you up to $500 if the first bet you make loses. It is always nice to have that free bet in your back pocket just in case. This way you get a second chance to make your money back or turn a profit.
DraftKings UFC odds boost
New customers at DraftKings Sportsbook get one of two UFC bonuses depending on what state they reside in. It’s a good deal either way. Some states have an offer to bet $1 and win $100 if either fighter lands a single punch in the Kamara Usman vs. Gilbert Burns main event. Other states have an offer of 100-1 odds on either fighter. Usman is about a -275 favorite, so it makes more sense to bet the $1 on him for $100 return since those odds imply he has about a 73% chance to win the fight.
If you are already an existing customer, they also have a 25% odds boost you can opt into for any single bet on UFC258. If you need to know how to use the boost, check out our MMA betting coverage.
Tipico Sportsbook deposit bonus
For my NJ sports betting brethren, you should take advantage of the $250 sign up bonus on Tipico Sportsbook if you have not done so already. Many of our subscribers took advantage of the deposit bonus before the super bowl and ended up with great ROIs due to the free bonus money. Remember to maximize your upside you should look to deposit the maximum amount to get the full bonus. In this case depositing $250 gets you the maximum $250 bonus and doubles your wagering dollars to $500.
