FanDuel Promo Code Strikes $1,000 Bonus Bet Offer for Stars-Golden Knights, All Games

The Western Conference Final shifts back to Las Vegas for Game 5 as the Dallas Stars lived to fight another day against the Golden Knights. Action readers can use the FanDuel promo code for a first bet of up to $1,000 return value on puck drop set for 8 p.m. on ESPN.

This FanDuel promotion allows you to place a wager anywhere south of $1,000 and if the bet loses, it will be reimbursed to your account in bonus bets. There just needs to be at least $10 deposited.

The Stars are +118 underdogs at FanDuel while the total is set at 5.5 in a series that hasn't hit the over since Game 1. So if I were to place $1,000 on the Stars ML, I would get my $1,000 back if the bet falls through. A win would give me my payout and the promotion is done.

You don't have to use this offer on Stars-Golden Knights; it can be used on Heat-Celtics or anything else going on Saturday.

But let's look deeper into Stars-Golden Knights in Game 5 by explaining what exactly bonus bets are when wagering them at FanDuel.

The major difference with bonus bets is that we won't keep them even after a winning wager settles. We only keep profits. With that in mind, we suggest looking for riskier props because the longer lines give better return value.

Jonathan Marchessault has found the score sheet each of the last three contests in this series. He's tied with William Karlsson for the team lead with eight and the series lead with three. Marchessault's ATG odds are set at +190 at FanDuel.

Since we suggest north of +250 when using bonus bets, let's take Marchessault to score at anytime and combine it with his 3+ shots prop at -280. Marchessault also leads the Knights with 3.8 shots per game through 15 postseason games. Finally, we'll sprinkle in the Vegas ML at -142 to net us out at +357.

The Action Network public betting page is a handy tool for betting context. We can view the percentage of bets and money going on the spread, ML, and the total. The NHL public betting page shows that 68% of bettors are hammering the Vegas ML odds.

So we have an SGP at +357 and $1,000 in bonus bets (assuming we lost the first bet on the house previously). With $100 in bonus bets placed on this bet, we would get approximately $357 back if we win. A loss profits zero.
