bet365 bonus code PINEWS: Choose from two promos before placing your first bet Saturday

Before placing your first bet on the NBA, NHL, or anything else Saturday, redeem the bet365 bonus code PINEWS and unlock either a $1,000 first bet safety net or bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets promotion. In countries other than North America, use code PI365 for your promo.

There’s a lot to dive into with each of these promos. The one commonality they share however is mandating your first bet have -500 or longer odds (Like -120 or +220, not -650). Most markets will meet this criteria, but it’s important to double check to make sure bet365 doesn’t nullify the promo you would’ve been eligible to receive.

For starters, it’s important to differentiate the two promos. bet365′s $1,000 first bet safety net serves as a form of insurance. If your first bet wins, there’s no bonus coming your way. But if your first bet is a loss, you get bonus bets totalling the amount your unsuccessful first wager was.

On the other hand, bet365′s bet $5, get $150 bonus bets promo is as it sounds. Your first bet needs to be at least $5 and settle one way or another. After it settles, keep an eye out for $150 in guaranteed bonus bets to be deposited into your account. After you receive your bonus bets, you’ll have seven days to use them before time expires.

Now that you know how each promo works, it’s good to know how bonus bets work. Each dollar of your bonus bets are able to be used at your own discretion. If you have $200 in bonus bets, you can wage $1 200 times, $50 four times, $100 two times, or anything else you come up with.

Don’t worry over the sign-up process being confusing, as bet365 has a simple one that takes you step-by-step through everything. Just remember your bonus code, make your first deposit of at least $10, and pick your sign-up promo before browsing bet365′s markets and looking for a market with eligible odds.

If you’re an NBA fan, just one game will be played Saturday as the playoffs transition from the first to second round. Luckily for you, this game and overall series has the chance to be the best in the entire playoffs in my opinion.

bet365′s odds favor the hosting Nuggets by 4.5 points in this one. The Nuggets moneyline is well within bet365′s minimum odds requirement at -200. bet365 has the best odds of any NBA betting site for the Timberwolves moneyline at +165.

I’m fascinated with this game, as I think both teams have a good argument to why they can win Game 1. The Timberwolves have enjoyed a long rest since sweeping the Suns, but that extra rest could potentially see them come out the gates cold.

The Nuggets only played one extra game in the first round than the Timberwolves however, so I think the rest factor balances out. I think Minnesota has enough scoring to keep up with Denver and the defense to cause issues for the Nuggets.

My betting pick for this game is the Timberwolves covering +4.5 points, and I’m leaving the door open for either team to win since I can’t be too confident in an outcome until I see how these teams match-up.
