ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, has a new sports betting site that’s drastically shot up the national rankings due in no small part to the current welcome offer. When you sign up with the ESPN BET promo code CTNEWS, you can claim a $1,000 First Bet Reset promotion.
If you’re at all familliar with sports betting, you’ll likely be familliar with this offer structure.
You’ll get the value of your cash wager back as bonus bets if you lose. In this case, the promotion caps at $1,000 so if you put down $999 you’ll get that in bonus bets if you lose. If you put down an initial cash stake of $1,001 you’ll exceed the promotional cap and won’t earn bonus bets.

Wagering with the ESPN BET promo code
Since the available welcome offer is a bet insurance promotion, your best use would be to find an underdog or an undervalued market and put down a cash stake. That will give you the best chance to collect a hefty profit with a win. Even if you lose, you’ll recover the value of your cash stake as bonus bets.
Naturally, bonus bets aren’t quite as good as cash — namely they can’t be withdrawn or cashed out without being wagered — but you can place other bets with them. It’s critical to keep in mind that unlike a cash stake, a bonus bet stake will not be returned with a win. They’re valid for one wager a piece.
Say you put down a $20 cash wager on a Ant Man as the First FG Scorer (+700) in Game 2 of the WCF:
You’d get $140 in cash with a win, plus you’d keep the $20 cash stake.
You’d get $20 in bonus bets if you lost.
With the $1,000 cap to this offer, you could increase your cash stake and still be covered — up to $1K. Obviously the risk is much higher with a more substantial cash stake.
A cash bet of $140 on the same market (+700) would get you $980 in profit. You’d get $140 in bonus bets with a loss.
