The NBA Conference Finals are off to a weird start, but sometimes that makes betting even more fun. If you’re looking to get in on the NBA betting action before the Finals start, take advantage of FanDuel’s new customer boost of a “No Sweat First Bet” up to $1,000. If you’ve never bet with FanDuel before, this is the perfect way to get your legs under you.
If you’re not sure how to get started, no worries. All you need to do is click this link and you’ll be underway. After you click the link, simply create an account (no promo code needed) and then start looking at some potential bets. Then, you’ll be ready to cash in on your bonus.
Here’s how the bonus works: With FanDuel’s “No Sweat First Bet,” FanDuel simply eliminates some of the risk that comes with sports betting: losing. How do they eliminate the risk? All you need to do is simply place any first bet up to $1,000. If your bet wins, then you simply win your bet and carry on. If your first bet loses, FanDuel will repay your stake in bonus bets up to $1,000. So, if you place a $500 bet on the Lakers to win tonight, and they lose, then FanDuel will give you $500 in bonus bets.
The bonus bets can then be used as bet credits. You can place any bet with them just like you would normal cash. If your bet wins, you keep the profit but not the stake, since the bet was placed with bonus bets. Make sure to use your bonus bets within 14 days or they’ll expire.
Here’s a look at a best bet idea.
How to bet on Monday’s NBA slate
Use FanDuel’s “No Sweat First Bet” to back the Nuggets in L.A.
The Western Conference Finals has not gone according to plan for Lakers fans. Former two-time MVP Nikola Jokic has been dominating the series up and down, and Jamal Murray has looked like one of the best scoring guards on the planet. After taking the first two games in Denver (thus protecting their home-court advantage), the Nuggets then stole Game 3 in Los Angeles. Now, they have a chance to close out the series tonight.
I have a hard time believing the Nuggets won’t get the job done tonight. With the Eastern Conference Finals looking like it’ll wrap up soon, the Nuggets will want to have the same amount of rest as their opponent heading into the Finals. They can’t afford to mess around and let this series go longer than it needs to.
Plus, the Lakers haven’t shown anything that indicates they have what it takes to beat this Nuggets team. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are qualified, but their role players (outside of Austin Reaves) have looked shaky at best.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Nuggets at +134 on the moneyline tonight. There’s great value in that bet. Consider using your “No Sweat First Bet” with FanDuel to back the Nuggets closing the series out tonight in the City of Angels.
