The NFL season is finally back. The Buffalo Bills will face the Los Angeles Rams in the opening game of the season and bettors are quickly looking for ways to get in on the action. It can be hard to know where to place bets and if you already have an account with a sportsbook, can feel like quite a routine procedure. But what if I told you there were ways to get more bang for your buck?
| Market | Odds |
| Bills (-2.5) vs Lions | -110 |
| Over/under 52 points | -110 |
| Bills/Rams Moneyline | -140/+120 |
If you’re looking for an edge here, the under could well be the play. The Bills defense ranked first in total defense and points allowed per game last year, while the Rams possess a rampant pass rush and a pick-friendly secondary. But what if there was a way to completely take risk out of the equation?
That’s what sign-up offers do. Sportsbooks across the PA region are offering new bettors risk-free bets and matched deposits just for signing up for an account with them, giving you a huge opportuntiy to maximize the returns on your selections. We’ve found the best 5 for Thursday Night Football.
Anytime you can get a promo from one of the biggest sportsbooks in the game, you grab it with both hands. The great thing with this is that there are no real requirements, but there is a tactical element.
Let’s say you are betting $5 on the Bills to beat the Rams (returns $35). You could then bet $150 on the Bills to beat Lions in week one (returns $286). If they win, you have $286 to bet on the Bills for the rest of the season, and a $5 locked in already for them to win the Super Bowl. You’re welcome.
So what if you want more bang for your buck? BetMGM are offering new users something a little different. If you bet any amount up to $1,000 on a single bet, they’ll refund your stake as a free bet if it loses. So if you wanted to bet $1,000 the Rams to win against the Bills, there’s no risk as you get your money back if it loses as a free bet. Talk about value. If the bet wins, you have double your initial stake to bet on whatever you choose, or pull that money out and just play around with house money!
DraftKings is taking a similar approach to FanDuel only they’re 1-upping the competition. Instead of a free $150, have a risk-free bet worth $200 just for betting a measly $5! Take the same approach as the FanDuel bet and have yourself a bonus $50 to bet on the Bills vs Rams!
A matched deposit is a little different than a free bet and actually gives you more freedom. A free bet can typically only be used on one wager, so you have to get creative to maximize the returns. A matched deposit will see a cash balance added to your account that can be spent on anything. If it’s a $50 matched deposit, you may want to spend $10 on the Eagles to win the NFC East, bet $20 on the Bills vs Rams, or even try your luck at the roulette wheel. The choice is yours.
Pennsylvania: $500
Arizona: $250
New Jersey: $250
Indiana: $100
Iowa: $100
Virginia: $100
Unibet are offering users a risk-free bet up to $500 depending on your location. They’ll refund any losing bets up to that amount, so it’s not as fancy as the DraftKings and FanDuel offers, but they do give you another avenue to get a free shot at some big money.
On top of that, they run live boosts during events such as NBA and MLB games, where odds will be given a 10/20% boost. This frequently sees Unibet offering the very best prices on a lot of the betting markets they offer.
