DraftKings GIFT Boost

DraftKings is offering us a GIFT this holiday season, a boost on a goal to be scored in the first ten minutes of the Edmonton Oilers/Dallas Stars game tonight (8:30 p.m. CDT). The GIFT can be boosted to -110 from the current line of -185.


DK has a no line on the GIFT (Total Goals - 1st Period 00:00-09:59 Under 0.5) at +150. Removing the vig from the yes line using DK's odds for this market makes this a very good boost at -110. It is advised, however, to find this market on other sportsbooks and use other books' lines to check whether this is truly a good boost. Checking other major sportsbooks, a goal in the first ten minutes ranges from -168 to -186, with no lines from +132 to +140.


All of this makes the DK boost of -110 a great line, +EV and a recommended max for most bankrolls. If you prefer, this boost can be arbed against the no line on BetRivers, FanDuel and Caesars (+140, +138, + 135, respectively). It's a good idea to max boosts like these, where it can be arbed on another book, whether you choose to play it straight up, arb or partially hedge an amount you're comfortable with.

BetRivers Bowl Season Bet & Get

BetRivers has an ongoing promotion throughout the college football bowl season. Place a $25 pre-game wager on any bowl game (with odds of -200 or longer) and get a $10 free bet that can be used for a live bet on a bowl game. The free bet can be used on any bowl game, not just the one you placed your pre-game bet on.


You can take advantage of this promotion once per day that there is a bowl game. Just be aware that the free bet will expire in 24 hours from when you place the pre-game wager, so make sure you time it such that there will be a bowl game that starts within 24 hours of when you place the pre-game bet.


Whether you find a +EV line and let it ride (check our Plus EV Lines scanner and filter by NCAAF) or arb/hedge in order to qualify for the free bet (both our Arbitrage Lines and Low Holds Lines scanners are great for finding opportunities), this is a great promotion and we recommend doing this every day that there is a bowl game.

Bowl Pick 'Em Pool Standings

So far, so great in the SB Intel Bowl Pick 'Em Pool! 11 bowl games thus far and we have a tight race in the top three. Tom S. currently leads with 195 points, but close on his heels are JessiesGirl with 185 points and Rundown Nation with 180 points.


Just one bowl game today - Western Kentucky and South Alabama face off in the New Orleans Bowl. And while we only see a few more bowl games from here until Monday, things really pick up next week. We could see an all-new top 10 by this time next week.


Keep an eye on the Bowl Pick 'Em Standings for the latest! You can see where your entry stacks up on the Bowl Pick 'Em Dashboard.

Finally, BetMGM is offering their First Touchdown-Scorer Insurance promotion for tonight's game. This is another regular Thursday night promo, as BetMGM has had this since the beginning of the season, every Thursday night.


With this promo, bet on the first player to score a touchdown in the TNF game and if your bet loses, you will get your stake back as a free bet, up to $25. Beware that there is a ton of juice on first touchdown scorer bets, but with this promo, your bet is somewhat risk-free (though you do only get your stake back as a free bet; learn how to convert free bets for guaranteed return here).


As with any promotion, make sure you opt into the promo before placing the bet, if applicable. Here at SB Intel we are cautious about betting prop markets where the juice is considerably higher than main lines. However, with promos such as these, you can often find an edge AND have a fun rooting interest. Let's go Aaron Jones first touchdown tonight!
