bet365 bonus code RGNEWS: Pick $150 bonus bets or $1K insurance for NBA Finals Game 1 or any event

NBA fans watch and follow their teams all season in hopes of making the finals. The wait is finally over as Game 1 tips off Thursday between the Mavericks and Celtics. By using the bet365 bonus code RGNEWS, you can pick which promo you want to use on your first bet.
You can pick $150 in guaranteed bonus bets earned from settling a $5 minimum first bet. Your second choice is electing to have your first bet up to $1,000 insured. If your first bet at $400 loses for example, bet365 issues you $400 in bonus bets. If your first bet wins, there aren’t any bonus bets coming your way but you get the satisfaction of winning.
How you can use each promo from the bet365 bonus code on Game 1 of the NBA Finals
Before I dive into Game 1, I should note there’s one caveat to bet365’s promos. If your first bet doesn’t have -500 or longer odds, you won’t receive your bonus. Just about every market you’ll find has -500 or longer odds. Ones that don’t aren’t ones I’d advise you bet on anyway due to the minimal payout they produce.
As for Game 1, bet365 favors the Celtics by 6.5 points. This feels like a fair spread for a game of this magnitude. Their moneyline is -245 while the Mavericks have a moneyline of +200. 214.5 points is what the total is set at.
I believe the Celtics will win Game 1, but I’m unsure what the margin will be. If you want to bet on the Celtics moneyline, you’d have to bet $100 to win $40.82. If you want to bet a larger amount on the Celtics to win, it would make sense to get your first bet insured.
The other bet I like is Game 1 going under 214.5 points. We know how good the Celtics’ defense is, and the Mavericks are an underrated defense as well. Both teams might come out cold after extended rest, and Game 1 jitters are also a potential factor.
You could redeem bet365’s bet $5, get $150 promo and earn your bonus bets regardless if that bet hits or not. At -110 odds, you can win $18.18 with a $20 bet on that market.
