Another FanDuel Point boost, MSU this time

Submitted by IDKaGoodName on March 15th, 2021 at 3:41 PM

I know many were posting this previously for Michigan odds boosts, and that’s actually how I got on Fan Duel, turning that $45 winnings into some bigger sums. Well, Fan Duel is at it again, this time for the MSU UCLA game. The current line is MSU +31.5 and will move to +32.5 with another 1300 or so wagers. Regardless, max bet is $50, and pay out is $45 and some change. The actual betting odds are -110, so you get almost 1:1 pay out.
 

For those that are unfamiliar, this means that your bet would be on MSU to win by any amount, or lose by LESS than 32 points (at the current line of +31.5). As more people bet, the points gap grows. 
 

Happy Monday and happy betting to all!

I put $500 on MSU -114 on the money line late last night(its -132 now). If they win, “yay money!” If they lose, “LOL Sparty!”

I love hedging my bets against my fandom. If I bet on UM it’s usually against them for that very reason. I took MSU +525 against UM at the end of the season and made some bank.

I’ve referred to that approach as “fan insurance” with my friends. Typically bet the amount that I’d estimate a ticket to attend the game would cost, watch the game, and if the outcome isn’t what I want I get my money back plus whatever the ML was. Works great to soften the blow when Michigan gets upset, like with the game at Breslin this year.

How do I see what the line with the boosts is at and how many more wagers will move the line the additional point?  Right now, I see it at +2.

Yeah I’m not really into the whole sports betting thing myself. But every time FanDuel puts out one of their “Spread the Love” promos, I hop right on it. If they’re just going to give away $45, who am I to turn that down? 
 

So far I’ve done it three times, and I’ve turned $150 into $286. *shrugs* I’ll take the giveaways

I am not a gambler.  I am a stock market guy.  But so far, they have had 3 'free' bets, and i have made almost 400 on them.  This will be the 4th free bet.

It is free money.  As long as you don't bet on anything and everything every day.  That is what they are counting on.  Just stay disciplined.

For those that are unfamiliar, they are essentially giving away free money so that you will lose more over time. So don't get too excited about your $45 winnings. Most will end up giving it all back and then some over time. That +32 point thing is pointless.

This is nothing different than other books doubling your initial deposit as a new user bonus.

Actually it's very different.  Initial deposit bonuses require you to bet that amount before you can withdraw it.  Often times you have to bet 2x that amount or more.  This one can be withdrawn at any time.  Might seem like the same thing but the details make them very different.  If they were the same thing, there wouldn't be a 50.00 bet maximum.  Some sites have a 2K deposit match.

It’s not the point you are making that is the issue. You are probably correct that most people continue to play the money winnings included. It’s the fact that you did no research on the subject and then blatantly lied about parameters of the bet from a false position of knowledge. And then instead of apologizing when you were pointed out to be wrong and setting right which you were wrong about, you doubled down and “stood by your point”
