BetMGM Bonus Code TOPACTION Offers $1,000 Promo for Michigan-Michigan State, Any Game

Saturday offers another full batch of college hoops betting headlined by Michigan–Michigan State and bettors can get up to $1,000 of value with BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION.

What do we mean by value? So let’s say you deposit $100 and bet it on the Wolverines to cover the spread of two points: You either see the $190.91 payout or get $100 in bet credits back in your account.

Side note: Whether it’s the endless TV commercials or the ads at public transportation, we know there’s a lot of promotional sportsbook language flying around. We broke each of them down to simplify things.

How to Wager the First Bet on the House

We like to suggest longshots with these opportunities — it’s better for your bottom line in the long haul.

OK, so if I were to deposit and bet $1,000 on a parlay of

• Michigan State moneyline at +115 and;
• Gonzaga -16 at -110 for +310 odds, here’s what would ensue Saturday:

Either the parlay would:

a) Hit and I rake a payout of $4,100 and the promotion concludes.

b) Miss and BetMGM gives me my $1,000 back in bonus bets.

What Are BetMGM Bonus Bets?

We can use these to profit real money that is available to withdraw. With that said, we’ll want to keep the notion of betting plus money going since the stake gets taken back.

Once the parlay above settles, I’ll have the bonus bets ready to use (if the bet loses).

So let’s look to Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game and bet Team Giannis to defeat Team Lebron at +125. With a $100 bet placed on these odds using bonus bets, I would either:

• Get the $125 payout with a Team Giannis victory or;
• Profit nothing and try my luck with the remaining $900 I have in bonus bets.

This is where the risk trickles in, so it’s good to make informed bets to gain value on the second chance the book is allowing you.

Plus, the stake is taken back by BetMGM. So you’ll want the best payout you can find with a bet you’re comfortable with.

NBA All-Star MVP Bets

It’s always a fun dice roll to bet the All-Star Game MVP and spice up what is otherwise a game of theatrics.

Our Matt Moore broke down who he’s looking at to take home the honors on Sunday:

A tough one every year. It’s a combination of who might be feeling it, who will really gun for the award, and who will get enough playing time and encouragement from teammates to win.

We have two extra problems this year. LeBron James (foot), Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist), Kyrie Irving (back), and Joel Embiid (Joel Embiid-ness) all may not play. Plus, we don’t know who will be on which team; they don’t draft until Sunday in a huge blow to bettors and the books trying to set lines.

I’m going to bet Kyrie Irving at 10-1. Irving missed the Mavericks’ game Wednesday with back tightness, but that might have been just pre-All-Star caution, and with three days off before a non-intense game, he could be good to go.

I’m also going to bet 1 unit on Donovan Mitchell at +1400. In his third NBA All-Star Game, he should play meaningful minutes and has the kind of game where he can get hot and just absolutely dominate.

Finally, I’m going to put a half-unit on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at +2000. The players love SGA, and this could be a breakout showcase moment for him. I’m worried about him playing enough in his first All-Star appearance, but if Gilgeous-Alexander plays enough, he might absolutely tear it up.
