How to Use ESPN Bet Bonus Bets

After you have received your five $20 bonus bets + one $50 bonus bet in the ESPN Bet app, all that’s left to do is use them. In order to use them, select whatever bet you want to make, and then you will have to manually select one of the $20 (or $50) bonus bets while viewing your betslip. This is what you will see in your betslip below:

ESPN Sportsbook betslip with a bonus available

To be clear, these $20/50 bonus bets will not be automatically applied. So, do not enter a wager amount in your betslip, just select the bonus bet. Once you manually select one of the bonus bets, the wager amount will automatically populate to $20/50, depending which one you select. It should look like this below:

The last thing to keep in mind is that the $150 worth of bonus bets have to be used within seven days of receiving them. This doesn’t mean the wagers you used them on have to be settled within seven days, but you need to have placed them all within seven days.

If you’re more curious about what bets you should make with your five $20 bonus bets (and single $50 bonus bet), the simplest answer is to bet underdogs. Let me quickly explain by looking at the EV (expected value) of a few different bets, and let’s just assume there is no house edge:

  1. If you risk your $50 bonus bet on a -200 favorite
    1. Implied probability of winning the bet = 66.7%
    2. Potential profit = $25
    3. Expected value (A x B) = $16.68
  2. If you risk your $50 bonus bet on a -110 spread/total bet
    1. Implied probability of winning the bet = 52.4%
    2. Potential profit = $45.45
    3. Expected value = $23.82
  3. If you risk your $50 bonus bet on a +200 underdog
    1. Implied probability of winning the bet = 33.3%
    2. Potential profit = $100
    3. Expected value = $33.33
  4. If you risk your $50 bonus bets on a +400 underdog
    1. Implied probability of winning the bet = 20%
    2. Potential profit = $200
    3. Expected value = $40

In order to quickly calculate EV, simply multiply the true probability by your potential profit. As you can see, your expected value goes up as your bet goes on a heavier underdog. Keep in mind, expected value does not equal actual value, but they do converge over a large sample size.

You are dealing with a smaller sample size with just five of these bonus bets. But the general idea remains: don’t waste these on extremely heavy favorites.

If you decide to use any of your bonus bets on same-game parlays, or play SGPs in general, it’s important to know ESPN Bet’s policy on pushes and players who are inactive: not only will that leg get voided, but the whole SGP will be voided as well. So, make sure you are careful when loading up your SGPs with fringe players.

Why the $150 Bonus Bets Is the Best Offer at ESPN Bet

ESPN Bet is also offering a deposit match up to $1,000 and it has caught some people’s attention. However, when you read the fine print, you’ll see it’s not a true match, but a cashback bonus. If you deposit $1,000, ESPN Bet will match your offer in a bonus fund that will be released to you at a 5% cashback rate.

This means you would have to bet $20,000 in order to receive the full value of the “deposit match,” and you only have 30 days to do so. After 30 days has gone by, any money remaining in the bonus find will disappear. If you’re betting large sums of money frequently, this might be a good offer for you. But the average user is much better off using the promo code DIME to take the $150 in bonus bets, which are available for use almost immediately – the sixth $50 bonus bet will come 24-48 hours after your first bet.

What’s On ESPN this Weekend to Wager with ESPN Bet?

There are some huge games across the leagues that are in-season right now that bettors can not only watch on ESPN but also bet on through the ESPN Bet app.

Friday (April 5)

  • NCAA Women’s Final Four: #3 NC State vs #1 South Carolina (7pm ET)
    • Betting lines at ESPN Bet: SC -11.5 | O/U 139.5
  • NCAA Women’s Final Four: #3 UConn vs #1 Iowa (9pm ET)
    • Lines: IOWA -2.5 | O/U 162.5

Sunday (April 7)

  • NCAA Women’s National Championship: TBD vs TBD (3pm ET)
  • MLB: Astros vs Rangers (7pm ET)
  • NHL: Stars vs Avalanche (10pm ET)

Then, of course, there is also the NCAA Men’s Tournament that’s winding down, which will not be broadcast by ESPN, but they will still have all the odds.

Saturday (April 6)

  • March Madness Final Four: #11 NC State vs #1 Purdue (6:09pm ET)
    • Betting lines at ESPN Bet: PUR -8.5 | O/U 145.5
  • March Madness Final Four: #4 Alabama vs #1 UConn (8:49pm ET)
    • Lines: CONN -11.5 | O/U 160.5

Monday (April 8)

  • March Madness National Championship: TBD vs TBD (9:20pm ET)

It’s a busy time of the sports calendar as well, so even though ESPN isn’t broadcasting every game, you can still bet all of the NBA, MLB, and NHL matchups on the schedule, as well as the upcoming Masters and UFC 300. You can make any moneyline, spread, or totals bet on any game at ESPN Bet.

You can also find a good number of player props available, and can’t wait for the NFL to return for what we are referring to as the “no-touchdown parlay.” Be sure to follow us on X/Twitter for who we’re loading into our next no-TD parlay.

Other ESPN Bet Bonuses & Odds Boosts

Once you have signed up and claimed your $150 in bonus bets, ESPN Bet also offers a number of odds boosts, or featured bets, each day. These can be taken advantage of by all users.

ESPN Bet app with the featured bets and odds boosts highlighted

I have highlighted where you can find these markets in the ESPN Bet app in the image above. From the home screen, simply click either “see all” om the Featured Bets section or the “Boosts” button at the top of the screen. You will then be able to see everything they have to offer for odds boosts. The “promos” section is one to monitor as well. They will house certain all-user offers in there from time-to-time as well.

Be sure you do not allow these odds boosts or featured bets to get you out of your responsible gaming habits, though. A couple bucks on all their boosts will add up. Stay within your limits and you can consult our daily odds boosts page if you’re ever unsure whether a boost / featured bet is valuable or not. (If you don’t see the boost featured there, it likely means it is not worth betting.)

The best of the many odds boosts ESPN Bet is offering today (Wednesday) is Purdue & Alabama to Combine for Over 159.5 Points boosted from +125 to +150. I also like their tennis boost of D. Thiem to Win the 1st Set & to Win the Match vs R. Gasquet boosted from -115 to +100.
