Understanding betting boosts
Betting boosts are special promotions offered by legal sports betting sites that increase the odds for a specific game, event, or prop.
They can be a great way for bettors to get better value for their wagers, as the odds are temporarily increased, thereby increasing a potential payout. The promotions are usually limited to a specific time period and are subject to terms and conditions, so it's always important to read the fine print for more details.
Types of odds boosts
There are a number of different types of betting boosts available, with some targeting specific games, some aimed at specific leagues, and some just enticing users to try a new sportsbook. Here are the most common types of betting boosts:
- Odds boost: When a sportsbook enhances the value of a specifically chosen player prop or a curated parlay/SGP, offering better odds than if you normally bet or created the wager yourself.
- Profit boosts: When you are given a token that increases the value of any bet you want (such as a 25% boost on one March Madness bet). Sometimes these tokens are for all bets, while sometimes they have specific criteria (such parlays/SGPs only or bets above a certain price).
- Sign-up offers: Operators offer benefits such as free bonus bets after your first wager, bonus bets offered as insurance if your first bet loses, an initial account deposit match, or even giving you discounts on other services for signing up with a sportsbook.
How to select the best betting boosts
Most betting sites will offer March Madness promotions and odds boosts — but just like the varying markets and prices across the board, sportsbooks also vary greatly in their day-to-day offerings of betting boosts and sign-up promotions.
It's again valuable to have open accounts with multiple sportsbooks.
First, it allows you to have the most diversity in the types of promotions available to you, but it also ensures that you have access to the best odds available: In most cases, a betting boost creates the best price available for a specific market... but it doesn't always mean the odds are the best available.
It's best to stick with using the top sites — they are the safest and most secure, offer the widest range of banking options, and give you a ton of markets for each game. Check out the best March Madness betting sites in your region to find the best spots to claim March Madness betting boosts.
Making the most of betting boosts
Playing a betting boost can be more than just getting a good bet at +EV — it also can open up some interesting hedging opportunities! If, for example, a favorite is boosted to plus money, that wager can be played against a regular outright bet on the underdog (who will also be most likely priced at plus money), providing a situation where, with an equal bet size on both sides, a profit can be guaranteed.
Now, most betting promotions come with limits on the amount you can wager, so you could be looking at incremental profits... but a win is a win, right?
For those looking to parlay betting boosts; don't get your hopes up. Sportsbooks generally make betting promotions unavailable to parlay with other picks, although some operators will allow you to combine sets of boosted same-game parlays into one larger, multi-leg parlay bet.
One of the keys to capitalizing on betting boosts is by staying informed and alert for when offers are released. It can be very time-consuming to constantly check multiple sports for newly-released promotions — plus it is easy to overlook or miss an offer — but utilizing resources such as our sportsbooks bonuses and best daily betting boosts pages can help keep you on top of all the available promos and boosts!
Conclusion
There are many different types of sports betting boosts, but all are designed to give you better value on your bets or encourage you to sign up for a new sportsbook with unique rewards and offerings.
Using betting boosts for NFL betting is usually the most profitable in Week 1, with sportsbooks looking to capitalize on the enthusiasm around the return of football, but there will still be a weekly buffet of enhanced prop odds, generic profit boosts, curated parlays, and more available to give you +EV plays heading into Sunday's kickoff.
