Quick Money

An easy way to use the Bet $10, Win $125 if a point is scored in the game, is to look at the games early on in the week. UAB vs Jacksonville State kickoff on Wednesday, September 1st, and there is bound to be a point scored in that game.

The second promotion, Bet $25, Win $250 if the team you bet on wins can also be valuable in this matchup. UAB are 14.5-point favorites and -850 to beat Jacksonville State outright. At those odds, UAB has an 89% win probability. Therefore, this could be a great spot to win $250 in free bet credits before a big weekend of college football.

PointsBet Big Ten Promos

PointsBet is offering specific conference promotions ahead of Week 1. Like the offers detailed above, these are offered with the exact same parameters, but bettors will have to wager on a game featuring a Big Ten team.

Which Big Ten Matchups to Target

The best teams to target for the second Big Ten specific promotion would be Rutgers, Ohio State, and Michigan. These teams are all favored by at least two touchdowns, which gives them slim chances to lose outright.

PointsBet SEC Promos

Big Favorites to Bet Week 1

Auburn seems to have the highest win probability of any SEC team as they take on Akron at home. The Tigers are 36.5-point favorites and -100000 on the moneyline. That means they have an almost 99% win probability against Akron. At a boosted 10/1 odds, that value is unmatched at any other sportsbook.
