Does that number seem random to you? It shouldn’t. May 14th is the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (2018) that paved the way for the state-by-state legalization of sports betting.

As of May 1st, DraftKings Sportsbook is now available in seven states: Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. If you live in one of those states, you can take advantage of the free-to-bet day.

Recommended Plays

While there aren’t many sports to bet on these days, we’ve got action in Germany and South Korea.

Bundesliga
The German professional soccer league returns to action this weekend, and you can cash in your free bet on one of their games! While some lines aren’t competitive (Bayern Munich (-500) are heavily favored to win over Union Berlin (+1200), for example), other lines are much closer. Games could be chaotic after the extended break, so it might be the right time to make a crazy bet on someone like Union Berlin! If you’d prefer to make a more realistic bet, check out our favorite Bundesliga picks for this weekend.

Korean Baseball
To the joy of baseball fans around the world, the sport returned in Korea over a week ago. Unfortunately, games take place in the wee hours of the morning in the United States, but you can still catch English-language broadcasts on ESPN. You’ll have to place your bet early on May 14th to take advantage of the offer, so make sure to read up on the lines once they’re posted on DraftKings Sportsbook.
