How much better are the odds?

I have done amazing just taking cheap wins with the 50% profit boosts FanDuel offers. I pretty much take every promotional item they offer.

I don't know if it is a coincidence but as soon as I withdrew money they gave me a "no brainer boost" Bills to complete +1 pass vs Broncos original odds -10000 current odds -110. Max bet $20, pays $38. Yes I will take $18 for free.

Maybe it is just a promotion to get people betting on NFL playoffs but I thought maybe they send it out to suck you back in when you withdraw.

Anyways, I don't bet enough. I am betting usually 4 or 5 dollars a game but this might be worthwhile for people who bet more depending how much better the odds are.

I’m guessing you get better boosts and offers in Canada than I do in the US. Not sure why

Maybe less demand for degen betting in Canada.

What are the requirements for your boosts? 3+ leg parlay with total odds of +100 or greater?

Usually same game 3+ leg parlay. Not sure there is any odds requirements but usually there is a maximum you can bet on them.

Ah, nice. For me, the SGP always seem to have a +100 minimum odds and a max wager of $10USD.

Yeah that’s the thing you have to bet to recoup the $20 for better odds. Those promo bets are offered to get you in the door. What I imagine is say a favorite is -250 I bet with a subscription you get -225 MAYBE -210. Draft kings has to make money too

They probably give you some really great odds initially to get you sucked in and then as you point out have just marginally better odds than normal.

Yeah the house always wins. The incentive is to get you hooked for the next bet
