Need to do more research on the Barstool Buzzer Beater Promo. If the max bet on either side is X to win 10k, and you do just the round of 64 option taking both sides:
o0.5 -190 - 10,860 to win 5,715.79
u0.5 +152 - 6,578 to win 9998.56
These are probably way less +EV than some previous futures touts, but it’s March Madness and I find gambling on futures more fun than betting individual games or pools.
I’m on:
To make Sweet 16
UNC +700
Oklahoma St +158
Oregon +350
To make Elite 8
Arkansas +425 (loooove this bet)
USC +600
UConn +700
To make Final Four
Purdue +1150
Michigan +220 (little bit of a homer pick but I like the value and I don’t love any of the other teams in that region)
I’m obviously biased but I’ve watched every game this year and think this is good value. If Bouknight is on then the sky is the limit. Their record is not really reflective of their talent as they played 8 games without him. He’s not on Kemba’s level but the kid can ball and I think there’s more talent on this team than on that one.
Idk anything about Maryland or Alabama but they also have really good depth at the big position, which I’m sure will be helpful against those teams. I think I’ve talked myself into making the same bet now.
As an fyi to people who might need to workthrough Barstool promo funds in the future, I tried doing this and since the “No” on the triple-double is at -335, they won’t let you bet it. I’m guessing you need -200 odds or worse (better?) in order to bet promo funds.
Anyway, not a big deal as I was able to put the other side in on DK, but something to be aware of going forward.
I ended up finding a “good” UFC line this weekend and bet my remaining Barstool promo balance. I’ll take a $7 shave, but it’s worth it to free up the money.
If you need to work through promo dollars on another site, offsetting them against CBB bets on PB this weekend seems to be the way to go. That way you can rack up a bunch of free bets on the Let It Rip promo.
DK’s the only one who offers no bets on triple doubles that I have access to so that wasn’t hard to look up after I saw fan duel’s promo. I used to look harder than I do now, there just aren’t enough to spend time to go through everything. I’m really bad at coding or I’d have made some script to do it.
) so I’m down for any and all arb action, regardless of how small the arb is.
