bet365 Bonus Code Catches $365 for Japan-USA WBC Final, All Tuesday Events

Japan and the USA will settle the score on the World’s best in baseball at 7 p.m. ET in the WBC Final all while bettors looking to place action can stock $365 in bonus bets with bet365 bonus code ACTION.

Theoretically, if one were to have placed their first bet at bet365 using this promotion on any event before Japan-USA, they would have $356 to use as they place on the game.

The bet365 bonus code is only available in Virginia, Ohio, Colorado and New Jersey and can be used on any sport or market Tuesday.

Let’s break down some WBC Final examples to demonstrate how you can get the best value from bonus bets.

bet365 bonus code: Japan-USA WBC Finals

You must deposit $10 and bet $1 in order to access the $365 worth of bonus bets.

The $365 will be awarded whether win or lose on our first bet. So let’s imagine we have them ready to use for the 7 p.m. ET first pitch on Tuesday.

We advise to browse our guide to using bonuses at sportsbooks before placing wagers using bonus bets. There’s key things to know in strategizing properly with them — namely in betting plus money.

USA enters Tuesday after slaughtering Cuba 14-2 all while Japan edged Mexico 6-5 in a nail biter. The Americans are 1.5-run favorites over the Japanese at bet365. The starting pitching matchup will feature Merrill Kelly for USA and Shota Imanaga for Japan.

Given the depth both clubs bring in their bullpen and defense, the under of 10.5 is a favorite bet heading into the evening. Here’s how Sean Zerillo saw the pitching matchup in his WBC Finals preview:

Merrill Kelly (3.64 xERA in 2022) is expected to start for USA. The righty had a breakout year last season after pitching coach Brent Strom arrived from Houston and reinvigorated the entire Diamondbacks pitching staff.

Still, Kelly owns fairly typical splits (3.28 xFIP vs. righties, 4.60 vs. lefties) and may struggle against the top of Japan’s lineup, which features five left-handed bats.

Instead of deploying Yu Darvish — or even Shohei Ohtani on five day’s rest — Japan will turn to Shota Imanaga, a 29-year-old southpaw for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, and a future teammate of Trevor Bauer, who pitched to a 2.10 ERA last season across 24 starts (158 2/3 IP, 0.940 WHIP, 32 BB, 151 K) and tossed a no-hitter last season.

Advanced metrics like Imanaga’s fastball and USA should be prepared for him to use the pitch aggressively in the zone. Imanaga will emphasize his cutter against same-sided hitters and his splitter to neutralize the platoon advantage.

Zerillo also slightly favors USA over Japan due to all-around offensive and defensive depth:

While Japan’s lineup is loaded at the top, I prefer USA’s depth — both offensively and defensively — and view the Americans’ position player group as slightly superior overall.

And while I may give a slight starting pitching advantage to Japan, I prefer Team USA’s relievers, which project slightly better as an overall unit.

Now, if we were to combine both u10.5 runs and Team USA moneyline odds, we would get a SGP of +243.

Take an example of $100 of bonus bets on this parlay. A hit nets $243 while if one or neither of the two bets hit, we get $0.

Note that once bonus bets are used, we do not keep them whether win or lose.
