    FanDuel - 25% profit boost for Regional Winner or National Championship:

    Tip: Check out the Final Four Odds article to compare prices across sportsbooks. Find a bet you like where FanDuel has strong odds and apply the boost to that to maximize the value.



    I like Tennessee to win the Midwest Region boosted from +360 to +450 here. How would you play this one?

    I like Tennessee too. Boosted region bet is a smart option i think.

    bet365 - 30% profit boost on the National Championship Winner

    Tip: Similar to the FanDuel boost, check the March Madness odds and find a team you like that already has a good price at bet365.



    Out of the favorites listed above, I will go back to the well with Tennessee boosted from +1,800 to +2,340. Which bet would you add on another 30% profit to?

    DraftKings - 64% profit boost for any college hoops bet

    Tip: Find your favorite Round 1 upset and apply the boost to their moneyline odds for a nice payout!





    I already used this on an Illinois future, but boosting Charleston from +380 to +623 to beat Alabama looks tempting. What upset pick do you have your eye on?

    IMO the only team that can give UConn a hard time in their region is Iowa State.
    If the price is right, I may use ISU as a hedge.

    +EV flash boost from Caesars: Kentucky and Kansas each cover -5.5 spread, boosted from +115 to +180

    Kentucky spread sitting at -13.5, so this will likely hinge on Kansas getting the job done. Their spread has been bet down from -8.5 to -6.5/-7

    DraftKings - No sweat upset bet. Place a moneyline bet on a double digit seed and get a bonus bet back if they lose

    A couple ways to play this. Could look at double digit seeds that are favored to increase your chance of cashing this. However, most 'risk free' type promos are best used on an underdog to maximize expected value.

    I'm looking at Colorado State (10 seed) +124 against Texas. They have a game under their belt having beat Virginia in the First Four and Texas won't have played in 8 days since losing in their first game of the Big 12 tournament.

    What double digit seed would you use here?

    BetMGM - 3 x 64% CBB boosts: 1 any bet, 1 live bet, 1 parlay

    For the any bet boost, Moving either James Madison from +195 to +320 or Grand Canyon from +200 to +328 are solid options.

    For the live bet boost, you could wait until a favorite is trailing at halftime and get plus money.

    For the parlay boost, it is minimum 4+ leg a& +400 odds so may want to look for a couple coin flip priced games where you think you have an edge and pair with two medium favorites who you think should be larger.

    My play: South Carolina (-120) / Washington State (+105) / San Diego St (-275) / Kansas (-350) boosted from +558 to +916

    FanDuel: McNeese and Samford to each cover +10.5 points in Round 1 boosted from +130 to +200

    Both lines are sitting around +6.5 so getting 2 to 1 on this boost is good value.

    DraftKings - Boost either side of the spread on James Madison vs Wisconsin to +110

    Currently sitting at JMU +5.5 (-112) / WISC -5.5 (-108) at DK. Which side do you lean to here?

    FanDuel - Duke and Purdue to each win by 11+ points boosted from -120 to +150

    With Purdue sitting around -27, this one mainly falls on Duke (-12.5) to get the job done. At +150, definitely worth a play.

    BetMGM - 3 x 32% boosts for Round 2: 1 any bet, 1 live bet, 1 parlay

    Do you take a shot and boost Duquesne +400 to +528 or maybe James Madison +270 to +356?

    FanDuel:

    50% profit boost for any bet on Gonzaga vs Kansas

    Gonzaga is favored for a reason, but does boosting Kansas from +140 to +210 make it worthy of a play?


    Oakland & Oregon each cover +8.5 boosted from +140 to +200

    Getting 2 extra points on Oakland (+6.5) and 4 extra points on Oregon (+4.5). Fair value probably somewhere in the +170 to +180 range so slightly +EV.

    Sweet 16 promos:


    DraftKings - No sweat bet for any CBB wager, get refunded as a bonus bet if you lose


    I only got $5 on this so put it on Alabama +3500 to win the National Championship as a slight hedge to my UNC -3.5 bet.


    bet365 - Wager $50+ in CBB parlays/SGP's and get $25 in bonus bets (wager $20+ & get $10)

    Min 3 legs and +100 odds so perhaps a chalk parlay? Who do pair with UConn?


    BetMGM - Bet insurance token, stake back in bonus bets if you lose

    Similar to DK, probably best used on either a future or your favorite upset bet in the Sweet 16. NC State?
