How to use the bonus for the NBA Finals 2024?

When it comes to betting tips for the NBA finals you first have to check out the NBA finals betting odds. You need to look at such things as the head to head matchups, team form, injuries, the road to the finals, and home and away records. The more information you have about the game the more likely it is you will make an intelligent bet, which is more likely to be a winning one. 

Here is an example of how to use the First Bet Safety Net for NBA finals betting. Heading to Dallas for Game 3 you want to make a first bet and you think the Celtics cannot be stopped. You bet 1,000 on them to cover the short 1.5-point spread. However, the Mavs come out on fire and they end up beating Boston 115-100 to get their first win of the finals. So, you lost the bet but since you took advantage of the First Bet Safety Net you will receive Bonus Bets to the tune of $1,000 that you can use on other NBA finals’ games or any other sporting event that Bet365 offers odds on.

NBA Early Payout Special

In the NBA Early Payout Special you will win a bet if the team you wagered on is up by 20 points at any point of the game. If it is part of a parlay then it is a winning leg. This offer would have paid out in Game 1 if you bet on the Celtics, as they were up by as many as 29 points while in Game 2 neither team was ever up by 20 points.
