bet365 Bonus Code TOPACTION Gets Choice of $1K Insurance or $150 Bonus for NBA & NHL Playoffs, Any Event

If you are signing up for bet365 Sportsbook on Tuesday, you have the option to select either a $1K first bet safety net or $150 guaranteed in bonus bets using the bet365 bonus code TOPACTION.

You will make the choice between which offer you want to use with your first bet during sign-up if you are located AZ, CO, IA, IN, KY, LA, NC, NJ, OH, and VA.

I'll break down both offers for Tuesday if you are unfamiliar with sportsbook promos and bonus bets.

The First Bet on the House

The $1K offer presents a higher potential value ceiling, but it's contingent on your first bet losing. To qualify for the bonus, you must deposit and lose a $1,000 wager, resulting in $1,000 in bonus bets. But if your initial bet wins, you receive the expected cash payout, making it wise to wager your entire bankroll to maximize potential value, regardless of the outcome.

For instance, say I were to place a $1K bet on Kevin Durant to hit the Over of 6.5 rebounds in Game 2 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

The Suns may leverage their small-ball lineup against the Timberwolves, aiming to create spacing and draw one of the opposing big men away from the basket, as seen in their regular-season success. Despite its limited use in Game 1, this strategy is likely to remain a significant part of their game plan, providing Kevin Durant with increased rebounding opportunities in Game 2.

I would receive $1K back if he gets six or less. But if he does reach seven or more, I would get the $1,980.39 total payout in cash at -102 odds and the offer is done away with.

The $150 Guaranteed Bonus

bet365's $150 promo only requires a $5 wager on any market with odds of -500 or longer. By doing so, you're guaranteed $150 in bonus bets, which are accompanied by the cash payout if your bet wins.

For example, if I were to wager $10 on Mavericks -2.5 against the Clippers, I would receive the $19.09 payout if Dallas wins, in addition to $150 in bonus bets. Otherwise, I would solely have $150 in bonus bets.

We're siding with the Mavs against the Clippers in Game 2 in a crucial for them. Although history suggests that coming back from a 2-0 deficit is rare, the current landscape of talent distribution in the league might make it less intimidating for Dallas. However, their lack of urgency in Game 1 looks to change, especially considering their strong track record as a road favorite against the spread.

Bonus Bets & How to Use Them

There are several strategic ways to use a bonus bet, but the most streamlined one is by betting on an underdog. It's how you boost your expected value, which is the average return if a game way played an infinite number of times.

We think that bettors are wrong for putting their faith in Bobrovsky and the Panthers in Game 2 against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The Lightning have superior metrics, and their string of good outcomes is grounded in sustainable play, which is the opposite case for Florida.

Florida has outlasted its metrics and could be on the verge of collapse over the coming games. With that, we're backing the Lightning as hefty road 'dogs at +140 or better.

This is optimal for bonus betting because a $100 bonus bet would net a total payout of $140 in real cash.
