The international betting giant, bet365, has become one of the most popular American sports betting sites. You can unlock a unique promotional situation with the bet365 bonus code CTNEWS. You’ll get your pick of either a $1K First Bet Safety Net or a $150 bet and get when you sign up with that bet365 bonus code.
With the first offer, you’ll earn bonus bets with a losing wager — based on the value of your first cash bet of the day. Say you bet $175 in cash and lose, you’d get $175 in bonus bets.
To activate the bet and get, all you need to do is put down a cash wager of at least $5. Win or lose, you’ll collect $150 in bonus bets.

Wagering with bet365
There’s a full slate of action this week as both the NBA Finals and NHL Finals are underway. The Oilers and the Mavericks are looking to stave off a 3-0 series deficit against the Panthers and Celtics, respectively.
Thus, you’ll have plenty of options to wager on regardless of which promotion you claim. Since you’ll only earn bonus bets if your wager settles as a loss, you can take a chance on an underdog market. With the bet and get, all you need to do is place a cash bet of at least $5 and you’ll earn 30 times that in bonus bets, win or lose.
Wednesday June 12
NBA Finals Game 3: Celtics (+120) vs. Mavericks (-145)
It seemed somewhat unlikely that the Celtics would go up three nil on the Mavs even before Kristaps went out with the injury. Dallas will have the home crowd very engaged but the defensive issues remain. Boston was able to win on a poor three point shooting performance.
All that said, teams down 0-2 often respond with a Game 3 victory and it seems very likely the Mavs will do so here.
In terms of best bets, look at PJ Washington over 14.5 points at +100. He’s been more active on the court and getting increased minutes based on Boston’s lineup.
That’s a good option for either the bet insurance offer or the bet and get.
Thursday June 13
NHL Finals Game 3: Panthers (+114) vs. Oilers (-135)
Similar situation here as the Oilers will aim to respond and are in a good position to do so. This game is best suited for the bet and get. Place a small cash wager on the Oilers moneyline here and — regardless of whether they win or lose — you’ll collect the bonus bets.
