Lol it's a promotion to whet your appetite. I think they do things like that every so often but I believe these were specifically to kick off KY online sports book launches. Give people the feeling of a win, cap the bet so you know your expected losses and gain some customers.
Thanks DraftKings, my $200 bonus bet is UK giving the points against Florida boys!

The 2 No Brainer bets one on DK and one on FD were nice. Money from the 2 wins in my Account already.
Yep same here easiest $200 profit we've ever made. Wife and I high fiving and she's paying attention to the game, great news lol.
I know these bets just teasers for First Time Kentucky bettors but I need to check sites for possible good odd bets each game night and weekends.
See this is how they getcha. I used to have a Bovada account and played for a year and came out up $150. Just picking here and there and it's a good time though.
I heard on radio last week I think is was FanDuel put out a 200-1 odd prop bet that very NFL in the 1 pm games last Sunday would kick a FG. Everyone loaded up on it and the Site lost 20M on that one bet
Got $50 at even money that a point will be scored in the UK FLORIDA game. This gambling stuff is easy.
Just saw a Bet availability on DK at UK scores 1 pt Saturday, Put $50 on it .

Fanduel has 1+ total points, while the DraftKings version is UK scoring a point. Both basically a free way to double your $50.
My bad. After I posted that I thought maybe Glenn had bet on a site other than DK. Thanks for correction and info, heading to FD to place that bet
Saw a story where a guy put 1500 on that bet and won 350,000. They have that bet every week and bet it last week lost because the Broncos D couldn’t hold the dolphins out of the end zone. Already bet it again this week on DK’s. +2800 on every team minus Jags Falcons game on Sunday to all make at least 1 FG. Guy I work with took his 200 dollar bonus bet on FD bet a long shot 4 leg parlay ( Ohio) on NBA. He hit it and won 36,000. It was 2 guys had to score 50 plus points and 2 guys had to have double doubles. He got really lucky. Good luck betting.
I guess those winnings are just paid back via betting money, not withdrawal eligible.
but you can only bet with what you win, not withdraw, right?
It has to be Cash you have in your account. Can't use any Bonus Bets you received by signing up and $50 Max.
One is free money the other is virtually free money. You have to deposit $50 on each site and bet your real cash not use a bonus bet but you can immediately withdraw the payout.
They had it on the NFL game last night too, max $50 1+ point is scored. Last 0-0 tie was 1943 so virtually free money. The other had $50 double up 1+ TD scored. ~550 games played last season and 2 had no TDs so something like 99.7% to win, virtually free money.
Wife and I bet all 4 bets each which is very likely to be an easy +$400 for us. UK could get shut out and without checking the stats I'm sure that's highly unlikely too so I'm not worried about it.
What is everyone putting their free money on? I know we all have a lot of bonuses to use this weekend and I'm hoping to find something that is as close as a surefire bet as possible
I think DraftKings is going to have another promo for the Bengals-Titans game Sunday. Double-up if a point is scored. I can't remember where I read that. It might not be available as an opt-in until after the UK game so keep an eye on the app in case it happens.
NFL theoretically can end in a 0-0 tie. College would do alternating 2 point tryst until someone makes one so it's not even theoretically possible.
You're right, my comment was in relation to the safety of the NFL bets we made.
No. You keep the profit off those free bets and it is eligible for withdrawal
Seconded. Once you win a "bonus bet" the winnings are yours. Bet them, withdraw them, whatever.
Thanks will watch for that possibility. I have started a thread on betting where hoping guys will post info like this if they see one.
"I guess those winnings are just paid back via betting money, not withdrawal eligible."
No. As other have said if you win with a Free Bet you get the winning deposited in your account immediately to use or withdraw. I set accounts on 4 sites and made deposits in each to get Bonuses. Have used some of those Bonuses on each site, won bets and have withdrawn by initial deposits in each. So all my bets now are "House Money" and still have some Bonuses to use.

Fan Duel has a $25 max bet that there will be 1 passing yard in the Bengals game.
