The free money and free wagers have started to show up. Here is an updated list of items you should 100% take advantage!
Fan Duel is offering a risk free $25 college football wager for this upcoming weekend. of You easily pick a side against the spread, or why not pick a dog on the money line? Since you will get a refund, might as well take a dog on the money line and try to turn that $25 into $50 or something a little more substantial.
Fan Duel is offering $5 in bonus credits for every win a team has during the year, if you bet $50+ on them to win the Super Bowl. If your team wins 10 games, you can max this out and make it a few wager essentially. I think taking a team with a higher win total obviously, makes sense to make this “free,” but does negate any value or hedge equity for later in the season as those teams have shorter odds to win the title.
Draft Kings is a doing one of these “Hammer the Over” promotions for this weekend as well. For every 2,500 people who bet the over in Georgia and Clemson, the total will drop. This has a max bet of $25, but it will inevitability drop and become free money. The total is at 51.5 now, but for the promotion, it is already down several points. It will eventually, fall to almost zero I would assume. Go collect your free money!
Draft Kings also has the Tampa Bay Bucs at +73 for week one of the NFL season. This max bet appears to be around $50. Go collect your free money!
Draft Kings continues to offer their Wild Card Promotion. You get a new one at different levels of betting or DFS play. There are up to five in total with the top end being reached when you get to $2500 in sports betting or DFS play before week two of the NFL season. Make you go to promos and opt in though.
Fox Bet is offering a fan super boost where Alabama -19.5, Ohio State -13.5, and Clemson -3 all have to win this week at+200. This should pay around +120. Clemson is a very small favorite though. My max bet is $10 LOL.
Barstool Sportsbook is offering the Chicago Bears +7.5 at +100. The more people that bet it the larger the multiplier becomes. I believe the max is bet $5 to win $50 if the Bears cover. I get what Barstool is trying to do here, and yes, this is a nice boost, but it is nowhere near the free money that Draft Kings is giving out. Should you play this, of course. It is a very large boost.
It is still early and these have already been advertised. I will update throughout the week as more offers becomes available.
8-9-2021
I think it is about time I mention what football wagers I have made for the season. Before I get to those, I want all of you to wait to make any new accounts on sportsbooks. Please wait. Customer acquisition is going to be insane the weeks leading up to the NFL. These books may offer all kids of free bets, deposit matches, risk free wagers and such type things to get you to deposit and wager at their book for the NFL season. Just take advantage of these situations as they arise. Maybe we will see redeposit bonuses? Who knows, but whenever Fan Duel says hey, if you deposit $500 we will give you $100, I am going to suggest you do it and collect that free money. The offers are coming soon.
The full football preview will be up in a few weeks. I will be posting everything our computer model has done over the last six years. Below are the wagers I have already made for this season. I am sure I will add a few more before we start the season.
Here is how we finished last year in the NFL.
Overall 147-111 56.97%
Platinum 2-5 28.57%
Premium 24-15 61.54%
Recommended Plays (Platinum + Premium) 26-20 56.52%
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
Football Futures
Pittsburgh Steelers over 8.5 wins +110
Am I a Steelers homer. Yes. The Steelers have not had a losing season since 2003. The year before Ben joined the team. With all the talent they have they only need to go 9-8 to hit this over and it pays plus money. The Bengals seems to be in shambles. The Ravens have no healthy weapons. The Steelers will hit this number.
Las Vegas Raiders Under 7 wins -110
The Raiders are clearly the fourth best team in their division. They have a tough start against three playoff teams from last season and could find themselves 0-4 before hosting the Bears in week five. I could see the Raiders going 1-7 on the road this year. This team continues to get worse.
Houston Texans Under 4 wins +100
The Texans are a three point dog at home in week one, to the Jaguars. They will not be favored all season long. 0-17 is 100% in play.
Pitt over 7 wins
Pitt to win the ACC Coastal +1000
I am a Pitt grad. I have been fading Pitt for years. I expect them to disappoint every single year. They have not let me down. Yet, this year I am extremely bullish on the Panthers. This is their best team in a while. They have a QB who could be a first round pick. They return a plethora of starters and depth with experience. What is the path to winning their portion of the conference? Miami and UNC are expected and the betting favorites to win the Coastal. Pitt plays both of these teams at home. I know Heinz Field is not exactly a home field advantage. But, with those games later in the season, it may be cooler and Pitt may have some buzz and perhaps fill the stadium.
Other Wagers I made where the number is gone
Broncos to win Super Bowl 50/1
Remember that day we thought Aaron Rodgers may go to Denver? I do with this wager. LOL. The Broncos are now 40/1.
Jalen Hurts to win MVP 100/1
Is Hurts going to win the MVP? Most likely no. However, he is down to 75/1. I made this wager before Carson Wentz was traded and knew there was value there.
