Users in Iowa will get $365 in bonus bets, as the operator just went live in the Hawkeye State this week. Bettors in Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia and Ohio can claim this promotion by clicking the modules below and signing up for a bet365 account with the promo code CTNEWS.
We’ll elaborate on the structure of this offer and preview some of the best NBA Finals bets in the ensuing paragraphs.
bet365 new customer offer
The structure of this promotion is a bit different from typical new customer offers. As opposed to other welcome offers that require a player’s first wager to settle as a loss before getting bonus bets back.
While this promotion is currently valid in five states — Colorado, New Jersey, Ohio, Iowa and Virginia — players in Iowa can get up to $365 in bonus bets, rather than the standard $200 in the other four states.
To trigger this promotion, users need to sign up for a bet365 account with the promo code CTNEWS and place a real-money wager of at least $1 and, once it settles, will get their bonus bet allotment. Either $200 in Colorado, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia or up to $365 in Iowa.
As is the case with all bonus bets, they are only valid on the platform from which they are distributed and cannot be cashed out or withdrawn for cash. Similarly, any bonus bets earned from this promotion are only valid for one wager.
For example, if a user placed a real-money wager of $100 on the Heat against the Nuggets at +125 and Miami won, they would get $125 in profit plus their $100 stake and an additional $200 in bonus bets. They would get those bonus bets regardless of whether or not that wager won.
However, if a user placed the same value wager with bonus bets on the Heat and Miami won, they would collect their $125 in profit but would not get their stake back nor would they get any bonus bets.
How to use the bet365 promotion on Wednesday
Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat
The Nuggets travel to Miami after a split in the first two games in the Mile High City and look to steal one from the Heat at home.
Both the first two games have been a story of halves. That is to say, in each game one team jumped out to a commanding lead before the other team responded in the following half.
In Game 1, Denver jumped out to a commanding lead in the first two quarters, outscoring Miami by nine points in the first and eight points in the second. The Nuggets were able to slow the pace a bit and control the tempo in a way that forced the Heat into tougher shots and limited motion on offense.
While Denver eventually won that game, the second half of that matchup looked a bit different. Miami forced some turnovers and got some easy buckets in the open court to get a bit closer. Notably though, both teams shot below 35 percent from three in that matchup.
Game 2 was a similar trend, with the game changing drastically based on each half. Denver took a commanding lead at the end of the second quarter and looked like they were going to cruise to another victory.
The Heat responded in force during the second half though, with a massive 36-point fourth quarter. Critically, Miami shot above 48 percent from the field and from deep and forced Denver into 13 turnovers.
Game 3 will be a true test for Denver. If they can steal a win on the road, they’ll be in a commanding position for the rest of the series. Easier said than done though as Miami went 27-14 at Kaseya Center during the regular season.
In terms of player props, there are two solid options on both teams. First is Jimmy Butler. He’s helped carry Miami on this ridiculous run but hasn’t been scoring nearly as much as he did in the first round, which is to be expected given the taxing playoff schedule.
He was shooting a ton during the first round and that’s not his standard. In the three rounds since Miami beat Milwaukee, he’s averaged 23.8 points per game. With that in mind, bet the under on Jimmy at 25.5. His scoring is not going to be as excessive as it was in the first round, provided the Nuggets keep him off the line.
For the Nuggets, Michael Porter Jr. is a solid prop option. His shooting has been subpar in the first two finals games, which would ordinarily be worrisome but Porter Jr. is one of the best three-point shooters on the team and every shooter goes through some slumps. Back him to sink on the over at 2.5 made threes in this one.
