FanDuel Ohio Promo Code Presents $3,000 in Opportunity for Monday NBA Action

Whether it’s Celtics-Pistons, Kings-Rockets or several other fairly lopsided NBA matchups on Monday, new sports bettors can use a FanDuel Ohio promo code to wager up to $3,000 of bet returns.

You can use this offer in all legalized sports betting states. There’s no field to enter a promo code, either. So sign up and your first bet will be on the house.

If I wanted to use this opportunity to bet a longshot such as the Pistons to beat the Celtics at +400 at FanDuel Sportsbook, I could do so and get whatever I would likely lose back in bonus bets.

We’ll provide a closer look on what to expect when betting with this offer Monday below.

Betting With FanDuel’s Promo Code

Before we get into strategy, it’s good to address expectations if you’re a new bettor. Many will start sports betting imagining grandiose results.

Yes, it would be wonderful to hit 70% of bets or score a 1,000-1 parlay, but that’s not being real. In order to break even when betting on spread sports (considering standard -110 juice), a bettor must win 52.38% of the time. Anything above 55% is considered to be highly profitable.

Let’s go back to talking Celtics-Pistons at 7 p.m. ET to illustrate.

Accessing the Bonus Bets: Celtics-Pistons

It’s going to seem risky, but use this offer to bet plus money; it’s our key bonus betting strategy. We talk a lot about how it will gain more profits over time as opposed to paying attention wins and losses.

OK, since this bookended matchup of the Eastern Conference doesn’t present a lot of security on plus money, let’s look to something more specific that can offer exciting value.

NBA First Basket suggested to target Jaylen Brown for the first basket of the game:

The Celtics have scored first in 47% of games this season while the Pistons have scored first in just 37% of games. The Pistons allow opposing shooting guards to score the first field goal in 26% of games (fourth-highest rate in the league). Over the past 20 games, the opposing shooting guard has scored first in 40% of games.

Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum or Al Horford combine to take the first shot for the Celtics in 82% of games started. Tatum has cashed the most first basket tickets for the Celtics, but Brown has actually made the first team field goal most often.

Marcus Smart has been out of the lineup with an injury for a couple of weeks, causing Derrick White to shift to point guard. White’s usage in early possessions has increased by 60% over that time span.

Due to the significant tip advantage for the Celtics, I’m willing to risk a bit more than one unit on this matchup tonight. The Pistons foul in early possessions more frequently than most teams, so I’m taking my plays on FanDuel tonight, where free throws are included in first basket bets.

FanDuel has Brown to sink the first points at +410, which is an excellent range for a promo bet.

Here’s why: If we bet $1,000 (can be up to $3k) on this prop and lose, we get the $1,000 right back in bonus bets. A win gets the payout of $5,100 and the promo is effectively over.

Make the Most of Bonus Bets

$3,000 is a high ceiling, but it allows new bettors with large unit sizes to take advantage of more value than what other books are offering.

Since we bet a third of that, we’ll still get plenty of value.

Let’s split it all up and break off $100 of the $1k to bet on the Wild to cover the puck line against the Coyotes at 9 p.m. ET.

FanDuel has this set at +110 odds.

Arizona may have dropped its last two meetings with Minnesota by one-goal deficits (2-1 and 4-3). It also holds a home record of 10-8-2 in its new shared arena with big brother, Arizona State.

However, Karel Vejmelka holds a 4.84 GAA and a .867 SV% in his two starts against the Wild. Marc-Andre Fleury has dominated the desert with both wins against the Coyotes this season and has won eight of his last ten games against them.

• If the Wild cover, we get $110 real cash back. It’s not a $210 payout because the bonus bets work as a “stake.” As soon as we bet with them they go away,
• If the Coyotes lose by a goal or upset, we profit nothing.
