$1,000 first bet safety net for UFC or other sporting event on Saturday

An exciting map for UFC 304 is just one of the many sporting events you can bet on on Saturday after signing up with the bet365 bonus code RGNEWS. You get two sign up promotions to choose from, one of which is a $1,000 first bet safety net. If your first bet doesn’t win, the amount of your loss is what bet365 will give you in bonus bets.

The second promo you can choose instead is $150 in guaranteed bonus bets. After you settle a first bet of at least $5, this reward is yours, regardless of whether your first bet wins or not. In Pennsylvania, you can also use the code RGNEWS to get the same promotion with an additional bonus of 50 casino spins from the house.

Additional factors to consider when it comes to the bet365 bonus code

The two promos that bet365 offers in most states are pretty easy to understand. But one thing you want to keep in mind is that your first bet has a minimum odds that must be met in order to get your promo of choice. Those odds are -500 or higher.

Some random examples of odds that meet these criteria are odds with a + symbol, which indicate the underdog, or odds that have a better payout. Odds with a – symbol such as -200 or -100 also qualify, but pay out less. As long as the odds aren’t like -550 or -600 (which don’t pay much at all), you’re good to go.

I also like to inform new players about how bet365’s bonus bets work. Rather than splitting your reward into a handful of bets worth the same amount, bet365 simply gives you your total bonus bets and lets you decide how to spend them. The only limit is that they expire after seven days and cannot be withdrawn as cash.

UFC 304 bet preview with bet365 odds

Of all the sporting events taking place on Saturday, none holds my interest as much as UFC 304. This is a star card with a juicy main event between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad for the welterweight championship. Other notable fights include Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes as the co-main event and Bobby Green vs. Paddy Pimblett.

I’m not surprised that bet365 odds favour Edwards (-250) over Muhammad (+200). Edwards is the better striker and is on a legendary run. But Muhammad is the better grappler who can win the fight on the mat. I think Edwards should win this fight but I think it will go the distance (-180) which leaves the door open for Muhammad to potentially pull off the upset if his striker can keep up with Edwards.

As for the co-main event, I’m not surprised to see Aspinall as the heavy favorite at odds of -400 over Blaydes (+300). I am surprised to see Green and Pimblett both at odds of -110. I’m backing Pimblett because I think Green is past his prime, and we saw what Pimblett could do last time when he fought someone past his prime, beating Tony Ferguson.
