Our sports betting adventure with Draft Kings "Bet $5 and win, get $300 in bonus bets.

[MarathonMike]

I told my wife about the "Win a $5 bet and get $300 in bonus bets and she wanted to try it. So I set up her Draft Kings account and I picked her $5 win for her so she got the bonus money. It came in 12 separate $25 Dollar bonus bets you had to use within 7 days. My son who is really good at betting at golf gave her a list of players to bet on. We bet a few to win and a few to finish in the top 10. She only hit one, but when Davis Riley birdied the last hole, he finished 9th and she won $425 bucks!

Nice one! I generally only bet football, but my other sport is PGA.

I have learned to bet players who finish well in the third round, that often carries into the final round.

What happens is they often start the final round hot, and you hope they can keep up their place until they reach 18. They often fall apart in the last few holes, though.

So she now has $425 real dollars from the $300 dollars worth of bonus bets. My wife isn't a gambler she just want to learn how the bonus bets worked. She'll probably cash it out and buy cooking stuff or something like that LOL

That's exactly what happened with Riley! He was leading by 2 but then had a bad stretch and ended up having to make a 7 footer for birdie on 18 to secure 9th.

She’s hooked now, you’ve created a monster, cancel your credit cards.

You know you're taking things too far when you're awake, in the middle of the night, simulcast betting on horses in Australia.

Go Hoosiers.

I'm with you on that, but are you going to lay the 7.5?

8.5 on Draft Kings, that seems like a big spread for a championship game.

Cash out and walk away from the table.

That does seem like a lot, but those guys just keep doing it. I'd like to see 16-0. Time will tell. But I do believe the best two teams are in this game.
