bet365 Bonus Code: Purdue vs. Illinois

CBB Champ Week is only a few days away, but there are still a few noteworthy regular season games. Tonight, we'll see a marquee Big Ten matchup between No. 3 Purdue and No. 12 Illinois. A victory in tonight's game would clinch the Big Ten regular-season title for Purdue.

These teams met in West Lafayette on January 5, with Purdue scoring a five-point home victory. The final score was much closer than the actual game, as Purdue led by double-digits essentially the entire way. It's worth noting Illinois' best player, Terrence Shannon Jr, missed that game.

bet365 Sportsbook has Illinois as a two-point home favorite, with the point total at 163.5. This matchup could go either way, but I like the top team in the Big Ten to clinch the regular-season title.

• Betting Pick: Purdue ML (+135)

There's no denying that Purdue has been a top-three team all season. They picked up multiple marquee wins early in the season before beating a pair of top 10 teams in the Big Ten. Illinois is much better with Shannon, but they're still inconsistent. It's hard to trust them as the favorite against one of CBB's best teams.

Even if you like Illinois, it's not a great bonus bet pick. You should target a plus-money market for your bonus bet because it presents more value. The +EV betting guide provides an excellent breakdown of how to profit over time using bonus bets.

Let's say you place a $100 bonus bet on the Purdue ML. You'll have a $135 profit with a victory but nothing with a loss. No matter the outcome, you don't keep the $100 bonus stake.
