Best Sportsbook Odds Boosts of the Day: Knicks, Devin Booker, College Basketball (1/20)
With sports betting making its way to New York, there are Odds Boosts specifically for New Yorkers to take advantage of, but some are also available regularly across most sportsbooks. Whenever these books come into new areas, they try to incentivize using them over their competitors. I will include the best New York-only boost after the normal odds boosts.
Bet $10, Win $200 When You Bet on the Knicks’ Game >>
Suns, Pelicans, and Warriors All Win +380 @ Caesar’s Sportsbook
All three of these teams are favorites or close on the spread, and the Warriors alone are 11.5-point favorites. The Pelicans go up against the Knicks, who fight but are sputtering with coming out at the end with a win. That is a good game to have the Pels on the money line, even with it being haveing some value on its own, to avoid any late-game nonsense. Then it comes down to the defending Western Conference Champion Suns, who I think can go toe to toe with anyone. I think this is great value for three teams who should win and gives great value on the Pels if you like them to win as I do.
Devin Booker 30+ Points +310 @ BetRivers
In the promo they even say that he has scored thirty or more points in three straight games, and while the Mavs have turned it up defensively of late, they will need his contributions to keep their winning ways up. The Mavs played a tight one last night with Toronto, and while the above boost shows you who I think will win, the fact that they played last night doesn’t mean they won’t play hard here. Look for Book the Cook to carry the Suns to victory!
Purdue to win & Over 146.5 Total Points +225 @ BetRivers
Purdue showed some moxie in a double-OT win last time out against the Fighting Illini of Illinois, but they also showed that they have some work to do for three-point defense. Indiana is a decent three-point shooting team as a whole, but Parker Stewart will be their key to keeping this game from being a blowout. He shoots 46.7% from three, and we know that the Boilermakers are a multifaceted offensive unit. I expect a faster pace than is projected, with Sasha Stefanovic coming out with a fire under him and setting the boys up for another 85+ point outing!
**NY ONLY** FanDuel’s Spread The Love – New York Knicks spread vs. the Pelicans
This promo has the spread for the Knicks lower by a point for every 500 people who bet lowers the spread by a point. Whatever the spread ends up being is what everyone gets. The only caveat is a maximum $50 wager, but that is free money, as the spread is currently +190.5. No team has ever lost by half this much, so it is really just a way for PayPal to try and gear people up to use their accounts and build some brand loyalty with a win.
