Tip off the NBA playoffs with a 50% bonus & $250 parlay contest

OddsMaker is a US-friendly casino, poker room, and sportsbook. From a single wallet, you can conveniently transfer your stake between the casino, poker room, and sportsbook as you would like.

Through March 31, 2017, OddsMaker is offering a 50% bonus on deposits with a 20x sportsbook rollover.

The Promotion Code “50hoops” entitles the member to a Real Money Match Bonus of 50%.

Example: If you deposit $500, you will receive a $250 real money match bonus. All bonus money given to you will be located in your Casino and Sportsbook Account as real money. The offer cannot be combined with other existing promotions. The promotion can only be claimed once. In order to cash out you must rollover the deposit plus the bonus 20 times.

Remember to redeem the promo code BEFORE making your deposit. Offer expires May 31st, 2017

In addition, if you have at least $100 in your account, you can participate in their free $250 parlay contest.

Simply pick the games listed with the points, and go 5/5 and cash in $250. Although your Funds will not be debited, you need to have a minimum balance of $100 in your real money account to place the free parlay.

If you like sports other than the NBA, OddsMaker offers a full range of betting options on all the popular (and not-so-popular) sports. Along with $10 free bets offered on various sports on various days, keep a look out for 20% reload bonuses on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

One drawback for US players — they only offer bank wire and checks as withdraw methods, with fees from $45-$55. However, once you achieve Gold VIP status, checks over $500 are sent at no charge.

Major League Baseball 2013: World Series Futures Odds

MLB Logo

Major League Baseball spring training is underway in Florida and Arizona. All 30 teams have reported, and are preparing for the upcoming 162-game campaign that lasts from April through September. Last year’s MLB World Series Champions, the damned San Francisco Giants, and among the favorites to win the World Series in 2013.

My pick — like every year — is that my beloved Cincinnati Reds will go all the way.

Oddsmakers like Bovada, OddsMaker, and JustBet, are all over the board with their odds to win the 2013 MLB World Series and the pennants. For example, a $100 wager on the Cincinnati Reds to win the World Series pays twice as much at OddsMaker.com ($1500) than it does at JustBet.com ($750). This is a great example of why it pays to have more than one sportsbook account — so that you can shop lines.

Why you need to have multiple online sportsbook accounts

Betting through an online sportsbook is a great way to add to the enjoyment of watching a match on television or in person. Savvy gamblers have multiple online sportsbook accounts to:

  • shop for the best lines — getting an extra 5-10% can make a big difference in your bankroll over the course of a year
  • find a large variety of prop bets — proposition bets come in all flavors, and different online sportsbook will tend to offer different types of proposition bets
  • negotiate a better deposit bonus — when calling to make a deposit, mention that you have other online sportsbook accounts where you are considering making this deposit
  • find arbitrage opportunities — rarely, you can make a wager on both sides of a particular bet (one wager each at different online sportbooks) and ensure that you have small win

I’ve been betting at online sportsbooks for over 5 years, and have had my share of hassles with deposits, withdrawing, and poor customer service. Thankfully, those hassles are behind me, as I have been betting at these great online sportsbook for the past several years:

  • Bovada: 50% bonus on initial deposits between $20 and $500
  • Intertops: 25% bonus on initial deposits between $25 and $400
  • Oddsmaker: 100% bonus on initial deposits between $20 and $1000

All three of these online sportsbooks accept players from the United States, as well as from most other parts of the world.

Here is the complete list of online sportsbooks in the The Online Casino Gambling Directory so you can do your own research if you’d like. But take it from me, you won’t do any better than these three online sportsbooks.
