Best NBA Bets Cheat Sheet: +EV NBA Plays for Today
NBA Side: Oklahoma City Thunder First Half -1.0 (-105, Caesars)
NBA Player Prop: Mikal Bridges Under 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-105, DraftKings)
Arbitrage Bet of the Day: Chet Holmgren Under 2.5 Assists at Caesars, Over 2.5 Assists at BetRivers
Arbitrage betting in sports is taking advantage of line discrepancies between bookmakers and betting all potential outcomes at different sportsbooks. Regardless of the result, these bets are guaranteed to be profitable since the payout for winning on either side of the bet exceeds the total amount wagered. This bet below pays out $15.45 on a $1,000 bet.
Free Bet Converter Play of the Day: Heat -12.5 at DraftKings, Nets +12.5 at BetMGM
The Free Bet Converter is similar to the Arbitrage Betting tool, only the Free Bet Converter guarantees profitability by specifically targeting sportsbook bonus bets. With today’s play, you will want to target the Heat alternate spread of -12.5 (+340) at DraftKings, then place a 2.698x bet on the Nets +12.5 at BetMGM (-375). This will lead to a profit of $7.02 on a $10 initial bet. For a full explanation of this process, check out our breakdown here.
