This opportunity presents the main reason why having more than one US Sportsbook account is not only beneficial to you as a bettor but integral to turning a longtime profit. Whether it's taking advantage of unique opportunities like this or just getting a +150 line instead of +130, it's a must-have for your arsenal, and is necessary in order to capitalize on these boosts.
You'll need both DraftKings and FanDuel for these bets, and if you're new to either, there's a great signup opportunity at both.
How to Guarantee a Profit in LSU vs. Alabama
LSU vs. Alabama - 50% Boost on any Bet with DraftKings and FanDuel
As we mentioned, smart bettors will see a unique opportunity in this game. Alabama are three-point favorites at home priced at -110 odds. If you use the 50% boost on let's say, LSU to cover the spread at DraftKings (51% probability according to DimersBOT), then you'll get odds of +137. Pretty sweet!
Now, if you head to FanDuel, you can boost Alabama to cover the spread and take the odds from -105 to +143. See it, yet? You can now get plus-money action on both sides of the spread, an incredibly rare opportunity. If you're unaware, you can't do this normally because the books purposely price the lines so that you can't guarantee a profit. In this situation, however, you're able to capitalize because of two different books and the available boosts. It might take a little of the fun out of the bet knowing you don't have to sweat, but as long as you bet an equal amount on both bets, you're looking at guaranteed profit, no matter who covers.
Your max bet might vary, so be sure you place the same amount on each side, even if one max is higher than the other. This way, you won't lose out in case the side with the higher stake loses.
You don't have to only bet the spread, either. You can do the total or bet the over/under on a player prop. As long as the bet has the same or nearly identical odds on both sides, you'll walk away with a guaranteed profit!
Furthermore, betting on both sides of a bet is frowned upon when you do it on the same book, so this way, you're not violating your terms as a user and opening yourself to forced limits.
Check out the profit table below to see how you'll fare on either side. Your net return will be the amount of profit from the winning bet minus the losing stake from the other side. Let's go make some money!
