BetMGM bonus code LABSNEWS1500 earns a 20% deposit match up to $1,500. That means you’ll get 20% of your deposit in bonus bets, up to $1.5k, so the max deposit for this bonus is $7,500. BetMGM is available in almost 20 states, though this offer is not available in Washington D.C. and New York.
With bet365 bonus code LABSNEWS, you’ll get $365 in bonus bets in six states after a $10 deposit and $1 wager on any market. bet365 is available in New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado, and pre-registration is live in Kentucky.
We’ll dive more into the specifics of each offer below.
BetMGM Deposit Match, Explained
So what is a deposit match? You’ll get extra bonus bets when you make your deposit.
- In this case, you’ll get 20% of whatever you deposit — so if you deposit $1,000, you’ll get $200 in bonus bets.
- This offer comes with a 10x rollover, meaning you must wager 10x your bonus amount before you can withdraw it. In the $200 in bonus bet example, you’d have to wager $2,000 (so 40 bets of $50) over the first 30 days on the platform.
- The bonus bets work like they do at most other sportsbooks — you keep any profit from the bonus bet, but not the stake itself. So if you take a $50 bonus bet and put it on the Jets at +110, you’ll win $55 in cash.
bet365 Bonus Bets Offer, Explained
bet365 has one of the simplest sign-up offers available right now. Here’s how it works:
- Deposit $10
- Bet $1 on any game or prop, as long as the odds are -500 or longer. So a -250 bet is OK but -550 is not.
- Once you make that bet, you’ll get $365 in bonus bets regardless of if it wins or loses.
That’s it! The bonus bets will hit your account pretty quickly, though the longest it can take is 72 hours.
How to Bet Jets-Bills
We’ll use this as an example for bonus bets — say you put $10 in bonus bets on the under 45.5.
- A $10 bonus bet on the under pays $9.09 in cash if it wins.
- If it loses, the bonus bet just goes away.
Here’s how Chris Raybon is betting the Bills-Jets total on Monday Night Football.
The Bills offensive line is once again a concern, particularly on the interior against Quinnen Williams, who racked up three of his 12.0 sacks in the two meetings last season. Center Mitch Morse gave up a sack in both games, and the right guard spot will be manned by a rookie in 60th overall pick O’Cyrus Torrence.
Buffalo finished second in points allowed (17.9) and tied for sixth in EPA per play (-0.045) despite 28 combined missed games from No. 1 cornerback Tre’Davious White and starting safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.
The Jets averaged only 16.0 points and 309.5 total yards versus Buffalo last season while starting Wilson in one of the contests and Mike White in the other. While Rodgers should improve upon that, he is still getting acclimated to new receivers, a new offensive line and a new backfield, so a slow start is certainly possible — if not likely.
Rodgers hasn’t gotten much work in with his starting line due to tackles Duane Brown (shoulder) and Mekhi Becton (knee) dealing with injuries. In three of the past four Week 1s, Rodgers has failed to lead his offense to more than 10 points, posting 10 against the Bears in 2019, three against the Saints in 2021, and seven against the Vikings last season. For what it’s worth, the Bills held Rodgers to 17 points and 5.9 net yards per attempt last season.
By the same token, running backs Dalvin Cook (signed in mid-August) and Breece Hall (didn’t return to practice until mid-August coming off an ACL injury) haven’t gotten much work running behind the starting line. The Jets are coming off a season in which they finished 32nd in Adjusted Line Yards (3.81), a Football Outsiders metric that isolates the offensive line’s contribution to a team’s rushing production.
The total opened in the neighborhood of 47-48 at most books and has since dropped to 45.5, which is still a bit high given the quality of both defenses and Rodgers’ lack of experience with his new team.
Per our Action Labs data, when the total drops more than a point in primetime, the under is 82-48 (63.1%) since 2005, covering by 2.5 points per game.
