How the Bonus Bet Offer Works
FanDuel is offering new users in Massachusetts $100 in bonus bets with no deposit required. But what is a bonus bet, anyway?
It’s like a credit where you keep any profits, but not the actual bet amount.
Let’s say you put $10 in bonus bets on West Virginia +170 against Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament.
- If WVU wins, you profit $17 which is now cash, but you don’t keep the $10 bonus.
- If WVU loses, the credit just goes away.
Here’s our breakdown of that game:
Just two weeks ago these two teams squared off and West Virginia went blow-for-blow against the Jayhawks in a two-point loss. It came despite the Mountaineers shooting 6-of-21 from 3 versus the Jayhawks’ red-hot 10-of-20 night.
I wrote about West Virginia’s recent success here, quoting that since the start of February, the Mountaineers have been the 19th-ranked team, per Bart Torvik, including the 13th-best offense.
Their physicality and aggressiveness inside is a huge bonus against a KU team that struggles in both defensive rebounding and FTA/FGA.
The key here is forcing turnovers and pushing transition. West Virginia is inside the top 50 in turnover rate, and the Jayhawks turned it over 19 times in their last matchup vs. the Mountaineers.
Kansas‘ switch defense could pose for some issues against WVU, and once the Jayhawks get downhill, it’s hard to stop Jalen Wilson and Co. But I actually think the Mountaineers match up well here, and they shouldn’t have any issues with tired legs.
West Virginia had 14 offensive rebounds in the first matchup and should have similar success creating second-chance opportunities on Thursday.
I would bet WVU +3.5 (down to +3).
What Is a No Sweat Bet?
A no sweat bet at FanDuel works like this. You make your first bet and if it loses, you’re refunded in bonus bets equal to whatever you lost.
Let’s say you put $100 on that West Virginia moneyline at +170 as your first bet.
- If WVU wins, you profit $170 and keep your $100 bet. You’ll now have $270 in cash in your account you can withdraw or continue betting.
- If WVU loses, you’ll get $100 back in bonus bets.
You’ll then have to use the bonus bets in the same way we described above to turn them into cash.
