Odds Boosts have become very popular lately. If you’re not familiar with what they are, it is a bet where a sportsbook offers a specific bet, where they boost the odds, allowing the better to make more money on the bet if it hits. For example, if a bet is originally +200, a sportsbook may boost it to +250 to give the user better odds, giving the bet more value. I will be going over some of the best-boosted bets that these sportsbooks have to offer for today!
FanDuel Sportsbook Odds Boosts
FanDuel has a boosted bet today for tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League soccer match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. The bet is for 3+ Total Goals Scored in Real Madrid vs Chelsea – Max Bet $50.
Real Madrid matches have had 3+ total goals in only 2 of their last 7 games overall in the month of April, and 2 out of their last 4 Champions League games.
Chelsea matches have also had scored 3+ total goals in only 2 of their last 7 games overall in the month of April, and have never surpassed 3+ total goals in any Champions League game this year.
Recommendation: I would not recommend taking this bet, although the odds are enticing. A big factor is Chelsea matches not scoring 3+ total goals in the UCL one time. Real Madrid’s numbers aren’t promising either, even though their offense is stacked.

Soccer:

- Leicester, AC Milan, & Real Sociedad All Win +900 (EPL)
- Ciro Immobile To Score First +400 (Italian Serie A)
- Rafael Leao To Score Anytime +250 (Italian Serie A)
Recommended: The first odds boost bet I recommend is Rafael Leao to score at anytime +250. Their leading scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out for this matchup, leaving more opportunity for Leao to score a goal in today’s matchup, having 6 goals so far this year. Their opponent, Lazio, has let up 8 goals in the last two games, giving this AC Milan offense an opportunity to run up the score, in turn increasing the odds Leao will score.
The other odds boost bet I recommend is Leon Draisaitl or Kyle Connor To Score First Goal +400. I wouldn’t break the bank for this bet but I like the odds. Kyle Connor is the top scorer on the Jets with 22 goals this season, scoring 3 goals in the last 5 games. Leon Draisaitl is the second-best scorer on the oilers with 22 goals as well. Draisaitl hasn’t scored in 5 games, but right before that, he scored 3 goals against Ottowa, one of them being the first score of the game, so I think he is due for a goal. I believe that two of the best offensive players on their respected teams have a good chance at putting the puck through the net first.

BetMGM Odds Boosts
BetMGM has one boosted bet today, Knicks to win by 1-5 points against the Suns, boosted from +425 to +500.
The Knicks have won 9 straight coming into this contest and are looking to make it 10. They have been performing at a very high level as of late and All-Star forward, Julius Randle has been kicking it to another gear, having multiple 40+ point games during this stretch. The Knicks have been making a statement lately, but they face a tough test tonight against the Suns who hold the 2nd best record in the league at 42-18.
The Suns have split their road stand 2-2 so far coming into this contest. They are coming off of a tough loss last night against the Nets, so they don’t get a day of rest before facing the Knicks tonight. The Suns have hit a rough patch, but that wont stop them from being great, as the team led by Devin Booker and Chris Paul will fight hard to avoid their 3rd loss in a row.
Recommendation: I do not recommend this bet, not only because I think the Suns will win, but also the fact the Knicks have a window of victory between 1-5 points. The Knicks have a chance to win, but I don’t like that their is a restricted window in which they must win, being the sole reason I don’t recommend this bet

PointsBet Odds Boosts
Points bet is offering an NBA odds boost for today, which is Julius Randle to score 30+ points against the Suns.
Julius Randle has been nothing but sensational for this Knicks team. He has brought them from nothing to a playoff team. Randle is averaging 27.3 PPG in the month of April, elevating his game to the next level. Randle has scored over 30 points against 6 times this month, one of them being against the #1 Lakers defense. It’s safe to say that Randle steps up to the plate when the Knicks need him the most. However, the Suns rank 5th in the league in defensive rating, and have been locking down fairly well lately.
Recommendation: The odds are enticing, but I do not recommend taking this bet. Although Randle is killing it this month, the Suns defense does not play around. The Knicks don’t have the best offense and a lot of it is ran through Randle, allowing the Suns to focus their attention on him without having to worry much about the rest of the Knicks. Randle definitely has a shot at dropping a 30 piece, but the odds are against him on this one.

DraftKings Sportsbook Odds Boosts
DraftKings is offering an MLB parlay for boosted odds today, which is, For the Beers: Rockies, Cardinals, and Brewers all to win, boosted from +658 to +700.
- Rockies are +157 against Giants
- Cardinals are -105 against Phillies
- Brewers are -177 against Marlins
They also have an NBA boosted bet for Julius Randle to score 30+ and the Knicks to win, boosted from +475 to +525. For the same reason as I stated in the PointsBet boost, I would not recomend this bet.
Recommendation: I actually like this parlay, but I recommend going very small because of the high odds. The Brewers should have no problem taking care of the Marlins with potential CY Young candidate, Corbin Burnes on the mound, who has 0.37 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 4 games started. The Cardinals game is a toss up, but I give the edge to them as they’re coming off a 3-game sweep of the Reds, who were red-hot to start the season. The Rockies are the biggest concern here, but they are always a candidate to upset a team with their high powered offense, coming off a 12-run win against the Phillies yesterday. The Giants are home to one of the worst offenses in the league so far this year, so if the Rockies can get their offense clicking early, they could take the first game in the series.
