Now Comes the Fun Part
- Looking around you can see all of the available options. I focused on the NBA playoffs that restarted with the Milwaukee Buck trying to finish off the Orlando Magic.
- I bet recklessly and put my $50 on the Magic, taking the money line. It’s not one that I would make under normal circumstances, but this isn’t a normal season. (Plus, look at those odds!). There really isn’t that much risk in the first bet because of the risk-free offer from DraftKings.
- For my free bet, I took Orlando again (even better odds) and parlayed it with the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Houston Rockets. Both on the money line.
But Wait, We’re Weren’t Done!
- I opted-in to DraftKings’ offer of a free bet for any NBA game. That was triggered by the initial money line wager. I used it to put $10 on the Houston Texans over the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL opener.
Before you scream, I did this to trigger another great offer from DraftKings. Betting that triggered a free $101 bet celebrating the NFL’s 101st season.
I went a little more conventional and took the Green Bay Packers over the Vikings.
If you ever need help they offer multiple ways to get in contact with support. I was having fun while trying out DraftKings Sportsbook and Casino app. Going forward we’ll need to be much more judicious in the wagers. Let’s make some money together.
