FanDuel Promo Code Presents $1K Bonus Value for Friday MLB, All Weekend Events

A pair of National League division leaders in the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves meet Friday for the first of a three-game set. The FanDuel promo code is available to place up to $1,000 on the house on Reds-Braves, any of the other 13 MLB games, the Travelers Championship, or any other event listed on FanDuel.

You must deposit a minimum of $10 to access this offer. The way it works is new bettors on the platform can deposit any amount up to $1,000 at FanDuel. If and only if the first bet is a failure, FanDuel matches that amount and refunds it in bonus bets.

Bonus bets can be used to strike profits, but can not be withdrawn. We talk a lot about using bonus bets on props with lower implied probability and higher return value—especially since we don't keep the stake win or lose.

We'll have however much we wagered for our first bet on the house in bonus bets if we lose the bet. So if I placed $1,000 on the Reds to cover the Run Line and they lose by more than 1.5 runs, I would have $1K in bonus bets to use at my leisure.

So let's walk through an example below by looking at a prop for Reds-Braves at 6:40 p.m. ET. The Reds are priced as +132 underdogs with a runs total of 11.

FanDuel Promo Code: Reds-Braves

The Reds are red-hot as they ride an 11-game streak into a home series against a mighty Braves team leading the league with a .476 SLG. The Braves swept the Reds and all three games hit the over in their last series this season.

AJ Smith-Shawver has been steady in his two starts this month—allowing 9 hits and 3 ER collectively for a 2-0 record. The youngster pitched 5.2 innings against the ailing Rockies in his last start before allowing a couple of home runs before finishing the sixth inning in what was otherwise a commanding showcase. This will be Smith-Shawver's toughest test to date as the Reds have a clicking offense that's ranking top 10 in OBP (.334).

Luke Weaver has been wildly inconsistent in the last couple months. The RHP is rebounding from allowing 10 hits and 4 ER to the Astros along with one strikeout. He's let up 21 hits in 13.1 IP through the month of June and now faces a Braves lineup he sports a 4.91 ERA and 1-3 record against.

Action Network's D.J. James explained why taking the under in this game could be a safer decision given how inflated the total is:

The Braves should score in this game. However, 11 total runs is too many for a game with Smith-Shawver starting. Weaver can also eat innings for the Reds. This under should be in fine shape if Cincinnati doesn’t score much early. The Reds also have a few solid relief options to turn to Friday. Take the under from 11 (-110) to 10 (-110). This number is simply too high.

We'll want to make this a plus-money wager, so we'll add Reds ML to under 11 as an SGP with +346. A $100 bonus bet on this SGP gets $346 in return if it should clear.
