Odds Boosts

What Is an Odds Boost?

An odds boost is a sportsbook promotion that raises the payout on a specific bet. The sportsbook picks the bet, and it's usually a parlay or player prop rather than a single moneyline.

How Do Odds Boosts Work?

Boosts typically raise the price by 10% to 40%. A bet at +200 might be boosted to +250, so a $100 stake wins $250 instead of $200.

Unlike bonus bets or deposit matches, most boosts have no playthrough requirement. If the bet wins, the winnings are yours. Read each offer's terms, though: many cap how much you can stake at the boosted price.

Should You Bet on an Odds Boost?

If you already liked the bet, a boost is extra value and worth taking. If the bigger number is the only reason you're interested, be careful. Sportsbooks choose what to boost, and many boosts land on long-shot parlays where the house edge was large to begin with.

Which Sportsbooks Offer Odds Boosts?

Most major US sportsbooks run boosts regularly, with the most on big NFL and NBA slates. We collect them from the sportsbooks we track into the list above.

Can You Use Odds Boosts for Arbitrage?

Arbitrage means betting both sides of a game at different sportsbooks so you profit whichever way it goes. Regular lines almost never allow it, but a boost sometimes does.

Say Team A is boosted to +200 at one book and Team B is -180 at another. A $100 bet on Team A and about $193 on Team B both return roughly $300, a profit of about $7 on $293 staked. Margins are thin, boosted bets usually have low limits, and sportsbooks may restrict accounts that do this often.

FanDuel Odds Boosts

FanDuel groups its boosts in one section of the app and shows the original price next to the boosted one. Most are player props and same-game parlays across football, basketball, hockey, baseball and soccer.

DraftKings Odds Boosts

DraftKings posts new boosts every day, mostly on props. The old price appears crossed out next to the boosted price.

BetMGM Odds Boosts

BetMGM leans toward parlay boosts, including same-game parlays. The boosts can be big, but they usually need several legs to hit.

Other Sportsbooks

Fanatics, BetRivers, bet365 and others run boosts too. Check the list above for today's offers from each.
