The worldwide leader in sports, ESPN, has a new sportsbook — ESPN BET — that’s quickly become one of the best sports betting sites in the country. You can unlock a $1,000 First Bet Reset when you sign up with the ESPN BET promo code CTNEWS.
While the phrasing may be a different, the structure of the offer is very similar to that of other promotions across the country. You’ll get the value of your first bet back — up to $1K — as bonus bets, if you lose on that first wager.

Wagering with ESPN BET
This offer functions as a bet insurance promotion, with players earning the value of their cash stake as bonus bets if their wager settles as a loss.
Say you bet $175 in cash on Sam Reinhart as the First Goal Scorer (+950) in the Rangers vs. Panthers matchup. With that wager, you can maximize your potential payout and still be covered with a loss.
With a win, you’d get $1,662.50 in profit, plus you’d keep your original cash stake. Obviously, since you won you wouldn’t earn any bonus bets.
Conversely, if that first wager lost, you’d get $175 in bonus bets credited to your account.
