Enhanced Plan: Maximize Your $50 on FanDuel
1. Single Bets for Steady Wins
Stick to two reliable single bets but increase the stakes a bit for higher returns. These bets will help cover your initial investment and provide more stability.
Single Bet #1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Denver Broncos
- Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win (Moneyline)
- Odds: -1.60
- Bet: $25
-
Potential Payout:
$25 x 1.60 = $40
Single Bet #2: Philadelphia Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints
- Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles to win (Moneyline)
- Odds: -7.60
- Bet: $10
-
Potential Payout:
$10 x 1.13 = $11.30
2. Higher-Risk, Higher-Reward Parlay
Here’s where you can aim for more. Instead of a 2-leg parlay, let’s make it a 3-leg parlay, combining strong matchups to increase your overall payout.
3-Leg Parlay:
- Baltimore Ravens to beat Dallas Cowboys (Moneyline, Odds: +5.80)
- Detroit Lions to beat Arizona Cardinals (Moneyline, Odds: -0.60)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Denver Broncos (Moneyline, Odds: -1.60)
- Bet: $15
- Combined Odds: +550
-
Potential Payout:
$15 x 5.50 = $82.50
3. Add a "Boosted Odds" Bet
Check FanDuel for any boosted odds bets – these are often offered to increase your payout on specific games or events. You can usually find these under the "Promotions" tab.
- Boosted Odds Bet: Let’s say there’s a boosted odds bet for the Philadelphia Eagles to win with a spread of -7.5, with odds boosted to +200.
- Bet: $10
-
Potential Payout:
$10 x 2 = $20
Potential Total Profit and Enhanced Strategy
- Single Bet #1: $40 (Profit: $15)
- Single Bet #2: $11.30 (Profit: $1.30)
- 3-Leg Parlay: $82.50 (Profit: $67.50)
- Boosted Odds Bet: $20 (Profit: $10)
Total Potential Profit:
If all bets hit, your $50 will turn into $153.80, which means a profit of $103.80. This exceeds your initial loss and gives you a solid profit buffer.
Risk Management & Maximization Tips:
- In-Play Betting: If any of the games are close, consider using in-play betting to hedge your bets or increase your position based on how the game is unfolding.
- Cash-Out Option: If your parlay is doing well but you’re worried about the last leg, FanDuel’s cash-out feature allows you to secure some of your winnings early.
- Mix Betting Styles: You can diversify further by betting on spreads or over/under totals, increasing your exposure to different outcomes.
