BetMGM bonus code terms and conditions

BetMGM will issue bonus bets if your qualifying wager loses under its national promotion. If your qualifying wager is less than $50, you'll receive a single bonus bet slip equal to that amount. If your wager is $50 or more, the bonus bet amount will be divided equally among five slips. For example, if you wagered $100 and the bet lost, you'd get five $20 bonus slips. Bonus bets cannot be cashed out or withdrawn, and they expire in seven days. If you win a wager using bonus funds, you'll get the winnings but not the stake.

Best bets on Tuesday, August 26

Best MLB bets today

After getting seven scoreless innings from Emmet Sheehan Monday, the Dodgers will be looking for more pitching magic from Clayton Kershaw (8-2, 3.13 ERA) when he takes the mound Tuesday. Kershaw has won his last four starts, allowing just five runs over 23 2/3 innings. The Reds, who are now 2.5 games behind the Mets in the NL Wild Card standings, send Nick Martinez (10-9, 4.59 ERA) to the bump. He's had a win or no decision in his last eight starts. The Dodgers are -188 favorites (wager $188 to win $100) in the latest SportsLine consensus odds but the model is backing the Reds on the money line as +155 underdogs (wager $100 to win $155). Cincinnati wins in 39% of simulations to bring value at these odds. Bet Reds-Dodgers and more MLB at BetMGM here:
