NC Bonus Bet Strategy

Bonus bets are not cash; they cannot be withdrawn directly. To convert bonus bets to withdrawable cash, you must place wagers and win. The optimal strategy depends on the offer structure:

• For "first bet wins" offers (FanDuel): Use a moderate-favorite first bet (-200 or shorter) to maximize win probability.
• For "first bet loses" safety nets (BetMGM): Use a longer-shot first bet (+150 to +300); if it wins you keep cash, if it loses you get a stake-equivalent bonus to use on plus-money picks.
• For instant bonus bets (DraftKings, theScore Bet, bet365, Fanatics): Place any qualifying first wager and immediately receive bonus bets; strategy focuses on how to use the bonus tokens, not the qualifying bet.
• For profit boost tokens (Caesars): Save tokens for plus-money underdogs; the 100% boost has highest dollar value on long-shot bets.
