Pick your promo when signing up with the bet365 bonus code RGNEWS before Stanley Cup Finals, any game
After a stunning Game 1 of the NHL Finals that saw a 3-0 Panthers win over the Oilers, you can register for the bet365 bonus code RGNEWS Monday to bet on Game 2 with the sign-up promo of your choice. Whether you choose to get your first bet up to $1,000 insured or $150 in guaranteed bonus bets after settling your first $5 minimum bet is up to you.
Just use code RGNEWS after completing the rest of your registration process, and you’ll get presented with these two promos. Regardless of which promo you choose, you’ll want to make sure your first bet meets -500 or longer odds (I.E. -200 or +200, not -700) so you receive bonus bets you’re eligible for.
Betting Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals after signing up with the bet365 bonus code
If you believe in the Oilers to even the series at 1-1, their +115 moneyline market could be an enticing one to place a large bet on. The larger the first bet, the more I encourage signing up for bet365’s first bet insurance so you can get bonus bets back if you don’t win. The Panthers’ -135 moneyline is also a good price if you think they’ll go up 2-0.
But rather than bet either moneyline, the bet I like most is the Oilers covering the +1.5 puck line. Although the odds for this bet aren’t fabulous (-225), I feel confident in this bet. This is a good market to potentially wager your $5 minimum first bet on if you’re looking to get $150 in guaranteed bonus bets regardless of how your first bet settles.
Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky was flawless in Game 1, with 32 saves in a shutout. He’s going to be a problem all series, but the Oilers are a team constructed to overcome that strength. Players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl came up short on 10 combined shots, but they and the Oilers offense are one of the elite goal-scoring units in the NHL.
It’ll be important for the Oilers to get good play out of their defensemen to win Game 2. The Panthers offense only got 17 shots on net and will likely be better in that department Monday. While Stuart Skinner had the 3rd-best record of any goalie this season, his save percentage ranks tied for 25th. The less shots he faces, the better.
What else to watch for on bet365 when betting on the NHL Finals
If you’re searching for same game parlays, bet365 has a stash of boosted odds parlays, with odds ranging from +260 to +1100. These parlays are no more than three or four legs and are great ways to be introduced to bet365 if you’re a new bettor.
There are also two promotions you can opt in to that could be helpful. One is an early payout promotion, which requires you to bet on a moneyline market. If your team takes a lead of 3 or more goals during the game, your bet wins early.
The other is a parlay odds boost promo that boosts your odds more with each additional leg you add into your parlay.
