There are many sports betting apps to consider downloading, but no app has a larger first bet insurance welcome promotion than what BetMGM and the BetMGM bonus code INQUIRERNEWS secures you. You can wager as much as $1,500 and get credited bonus bets equal to what you wagered should your first bet lose. This link can start the process.

That’s just one promo BetMGM has. There’s a second bonus code available you can instead redeem for a 20% deposit match worth up to $1,600 in sports bonus. That code is PINEWS1600, which sees your first cash deposit up to $8,000 matched in sports bonus. This link starts the sign-up process.

Which BetMGM bonus code should you choose?

Upon being presented with two different bonuses and codes, it’s understandable if you aren’t sure which one is right for you. I break it down as follows.

If you’re looking to wager a large amount consistently over the next 30 days, you might get more out of BetMGM’s deposit match. But if you aren’t looking to commit a large amount of money over the next month, I encourage you to redeem BetMGM’s first bet insurance promotion instead.

BetMGM’s deposit match comes with a 10x wagering requirement you must meet in 30 days. If you got $200 in sports bonus, this equates to you needing to wager $2,000 in your own money to avoid bonus bets and winnings expiring.

But if you choose BetMGM’s first bet insurance promo, you don’t need a long term commitment. If your first bet is $50 or more, you’ll get five 20% bonus bets tallying your first bet’s total. If your first bet is less than $50, you’ll get one bonus bet back equal to what you lost.

How I’d bet Thursday’s NBA doubleheader with BetMGM odds

To the surprise of many (Including myself), the Bucks staved off elimination to cut the series deficit to 3-2 against the Pacers Tuesday. But without Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, there’s good reason the Pacers are -350 to win.

Those odds aren’t great from a payout perspective, but both spreads of 7.5 points have -110 odds. While I think the Pacers will ultimately win, I think the Bucks can cover +7.5 points easier than the Pacers can cover -7.5 points.

Another surprise was the 76ers staying alive against the Knicks after Tyrese Maxey had one of the defining games in his career. This game offers a much better moneyline for the favorites, which happen to be the 76ers (-165).

I’ve thought this series had seven games written all over it for quite some time, the 76ers just needed to find ways to stay afloat. Now that they’re afloat and back at home, I’m confident in both their moneyline and them covering 3.5 points.
