How to Use Your Free Bet

Ok, you’ve made your way over to DraftKings, claimed this amazing offer and now are wondering, “How can I best use this free $5.14?”

Well, with no risk attached here, there’s no better time than to take a swing for the fences and look to some juicy longshots to try and cash in big with this offer.

  1. It’s a busy night in the NBA with eight games set to tip off starting this evening. Of those eight, five are currently lined with the favorite at -9.5 or more. Meaning there’s potential for at least one of these dogs to cash a big pay day. Alternatively, if none of these big dogs look appealing, there’s plenty of player props worth betting too.
  2. The St. Louis Cardinals aren’t being given much of a shot against the San Diego Padres tonight as +160 dogs. Yes, scheduled starter Johan Oviedo is just 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA, but the Cards have been hot lately going 7-3 in their past ten. They’ve reeled off wins in five of six and have now lost just three times in their past 14
  3. There’s only one game on the NHL card for Friday, with the North-winning Toronto Maple Leafs hosting the third-place Winnipeg Jets. The Jets are only 3-4-0-2 against the Leafs this season, but with seedings set already, the value may lie with the underdog Jets at +135
  4. The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes runs Friday at Pimlico Race Course and our expert sees some great value in a 14-1 longshot. Read up on the horses in contention and see our prediction here
  5. If you want to take a huge flier and bet against EPL champions in Manchester City, you can drop your $5.14 down on Newcastle United to pull an upset of Pep’s boys at 10-1 odds at 3:00 pm EST this afternoon. With the title wrapped up and Champions League on the horizon, perhaps some squad rotation could create an upset
