Active Profit Boost Odds
What Are Profit Boost Bonuses?
A profit boost bonus is a sportsbook promotion offering an increased percentage payout on winning bets. This type of bonus applies only to net winnings, not the original stake amount.
How Profit Boost Bonuses Work
When using a profit boost, the sportsbook increases your potential payout by a predetermined percentage if your wager wins.
Example:
FanDuel regularly offers a 25% profit boost on selected NBA game bets. A bettor places a $100 wager at odds of +200 (American Odds). Without the boost, a winning bet would yield $200 in profit (plus the original $100 stake returned, totaling $300). With the 25% profit boost, the profit increases from $200 to $250. The final payout would be $350 ($250 boosted profit + original $100 stake).
Profit boosts increase the odds beyond their original market value, providing bettors with additional profit opportunities. However, it's important to clearly understand how these boosts affect payouts to bet responsibly and maximize their value.
The following table illustrates practical examples of profit boosts applied to typical bets, comparing original odds versus boosted odds, along with the additional profit bettors can gain on a standardized stake of $50:
