Best NBA Bets Cheat Sheet: +EV NBA Plays for Today
NBA Side: Washington Wizards First Quarter Moneyline (+164, FanDuel)
NBA Total: Sacramento Kings vs. San Antonio Spurs First Quarter Over 60.5 Points (-110, BetMGM)
NBA Player Prop: James Harden Under 6.5 Assists (+106, FanDuel)
Arbitrage Bet of the Day: Daniel Gafford Under 8.5 Points at bet365, Over 8.5 Points at DraftKings
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 $24.39 on a $1,000 bet.
Free Bet Converter Play of the Day: 76ers -9.5 at BetMGM, Hawks +9.5 at BetRivers
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 76ers alternate spread of -9.5 (+333) at BetMGM, then place a 2.622x bet on the Hawks +9.5 at BetRivers (-375). This will lead to a profit of $7.08 on a $10 initial bet. For a full explanation of this process, check out our breakdown here.
