A free $25 same game parlay from DraftKings

In August, DraftKings entered into a partnership with Genius Sports, a prominent NFL statistics provider. This collaboration enabled DraftKings to acquire the necessary backend technology for its same game parlay offerings.

DraftKings has now joined the ranks of FanDuel and BetMGM in offering SGP options in Virginia.

Despite launching after the other leading Virginia sportsbooks, DraftKings is determined to catch up. Consequently, the company is offering free SGPs (Single Game Parlays) on any NFL game to both new and existing players on weekdays.

If this is your initial same game parlay at DraftKings, you will either secure your bet’s winnings or receive a reimbursement in site credit worth up to $25, in case of a loss.

DraftKings is now entering the same game parlay betting arena, following in the footsteps of its rivals who have already experienced a surge in NFL betting volume.

How SPGs work at sportsbooks

Parlays, a popular betting option, enable bettors to place a single wager on multiple games or events. If all selections in the bet are successful, the winnings are typically higher due to increased odds. However, if any one selection loses, the entire wager is considered a loss.

Same game parlays operate in a similar manner, with the distinction that all the components of your parlay are derived from a single game. In the context of an NFL match, this implies that you can place bets on various aspects, such as:

As you add more legs, the chances of winning and the potential payout increase. Certain options, like the “team to win with shutout,” greatly enhance your odds due to their rarity, which is reflected in the SGP odds.

One interesting choice for a single-game-focused evening like Thursday Night Football is a same game parlay. Instead of keeping track of multiple games for your parlay, you can monitor all the legs in a single game on a single screen.

Nevertheless, it is important to exercise caution in this matter. Despite the possibility of a significant payout with a small bet, it should be noted that sportsbooks have found same game parlays to be quite lucrative. For instance, FanDuel, the leading sportsbook in Tennessee, has seen a substantial increase in betting volume, largely attributed to the popularity of SGPs. These parlays prove to be a profitable venture for the company.

While they may provide entertainment for a sporadic bet, it will prove challenging to make them consistently lucrative for you in the long run.

Same game parlay options for WFT vs. Giants

As game day dawned, Washington held a 3.5-point advantage over the Giants in the NFC East showdown.

Scoring proved to be challenging due to the unfavorable weather conditions, resulting in a meager 41 points for the game. This total was the lowest among all 16 NFL Week 2 matchups.

Furthermore, due to the offseason acquisition Ryan Fitzpatrick being placed on injured reserve, Taylor Heinicke assumes the role of the starting quarterback. On the other hand, leading the Giants’ offense is Daniel Jones, who faced considerable scrutiny and backlash following his underwhelming performance in the 2021 season opener.

Due to the abundance of uncertainties surrounding the quarterbacks, points might be scarce on Thursday.

If you are interested in supporting the WFT while also anticipating the under to be successful, you can combine them in a same-game parlay.

To get started, go to the DraftKings page for the specific game you’re interested in. Toggle the SGP option to display the game parlay choices, and proceed to enter your desired betting legs.

Earlier this week, there were odds of +275 for WFT -3.5 and under 40.5 points in this scenario. If you were to place a $10 bet and win, you would make a profit of $27.50.

You have the option to save your risk-free bet for Thursday’s game if you prefer. However, the remaining games in Week 2 present an exciting lineup, featuring a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens (+3.5) at the visiting team’s home field.
