What does this offer mean? If your first bet loses, you'll be refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost.

FanDuel Promo Code, Explained

Both the Ohio and general FanDuel offer requires a deposit of $10 and a bet of at least $5 on anything. We'll see them once the first bets settle.

Choosing a Wager to Access Value

OK, before placing a bet on just anything, it's good to note that bonus betting strategy dictates you'll benefit best by seeking something plus. We can't stress it enough when talking about promotion bets.

So instead of just taking the -110 juice on the spread, you're bound to see more value back through extended time if you stay plus — despite taking the higher risk.

When looking at Creighton-Xavier, oddsmakers have Creighton as four-point favorites. Xavier has won 13 of its last 14 games while Creighton started the campaign at 6-0, but has leveled out at 6-8 ever since.

The Muskies have tallied 84.0 points while having allowed 75.5 per game. The No. 13 ranked program has five players averaging in double digit points per contest. It's led by Souley Baum, who's operating at a 16.8 pace and five assists.

Creighton presents the defending Defensive Player of the Year in Ryan Kalkbrenner, who's posted a healthy 15 PPG. What's more is his field goal percentage, as the junior center is at third in the nation with 73.8%.

Despite high preseason predictions in the Big East, the Bluejays have mustered 77.7 points while averaging 68.3 against per contest. Defensively, there is an advantage as opposed to a Muskies program used to higher-ceiling games with 84 points for and 75.5 against.

The Jan. 11 meeting soared well past the points total at 177. With Xavier marked as the underdogs in the rematch, it's a good play to combine an SGP of Xavier +4 and over 158 at +264.

A bet worth $10 would net a $36.40 payout plus the $200 in bonus bets. A loss would still access the $200.

Go Long With Bonus Bets

Now that I've secured the $200, let’s say I want to bet $100 of the pot on Brandon Aiyuk to score an anytime touchdown against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. FanDuel has the 1,015 yard, eight-time scoring wide receiver's odds set at +270 to reach the end zone.

• If the Aiyuk hauls a score, this would cash $270 on a $100 bet, but the bonus bets go away.
• If he doesn't, the $100 profits nothing and still goes away.

We suggest going with long because of what is called expected value. This term means the margin between the real odds of something happening and the odds posted by the sportsbook.

Here’s an example to think about from Action Network:

A coin toss is always the easiest example — the fair odds of a coin toss are 50/50 or +100.

• So if you had +120 odds on tails, the EV would be (120-100) * .5.
• That’s $10 expected winnings on a $100 bet, or 10% EV.

If we make 100 of these 10% EV bets we would expect to net $1,000 on those 100 bets.
