Barstool Promotion Mock-Up: Bengals-Titans

You can place your first bet once you've signed up for Barstool and plugged in the ACTNEWS150 promo.

Win or lose, you still get $150 in bonus cash, but you'll still want to place an educated bet.

The minimum bet is $20 in order to secure the $150.

Here are some notes on Bengals-Titans for the sake of creating a good plus-money wager.

1. Derrick Henry is on pace to at least have his second-most successful season on the ground behind his juggernaut 2,027 yards in 2020. He's tallied a modest 75.3 yards per game and two scores in his three career outings against Cincinnati. Henry has been able to carry a team with virtually no pass catching weapons and a middle-of-the-pack game manager at quarterback. The Bengals are ranked only 15th against the run and Henry should see his usual 20+ carries and plenty of opportunity for pay dirt.
2. Aside from Henry's prowess, the Titans defense is the No. 1 reason they have amassed a 7-3 record thus far; they took a top ranked Chiefs offense into overtime with their backup quarterback. The Titans are especially solid against the run, which slowed the Chiefs and could present obstacles for an offense possibly without Ja'Marr Chase that's leaned more on Joe Mixon.
3. The irony is despite being a top ten defense, the Titans rank close to dead last in all passing stats. If Chase does play, Burrow could have a field day with the likes of him, Boyd and Higgins.

Betting With Barstool's Promotion

Alright, so let's say you deposit the minimum $20 and place it on Titans ML with the Barstool promotion ACTNEWS150:

At the time of this being written, Barstool has the Titans priced at +123.

Here's how this would play out:

Bonus Cash With Barstool

You'll have the $150 whether your Sunday bet won or lose. The bonus cash appears in your account once the bet has been settled.

Bonus cash is used for placing bets, not withdrawing.

Fortunately, Barstool allows bettors to hold onto their bonus cash if the bet wins. Other books usually will take it away after use.

So, you've got $150 and you place all of it on the Steelers to defeat the Colts on Monday Night Football.

Barstool has the Steelers priced at +112 — here's how bonus cash would work:

If the Steelers win this marquee, heavyweight clash of two remarkable quarterbacks and offensive acumen, you win $168 and get to keep the $150 in bonus cash for a total of $318. But if they lose in the year's most anticipated Monday night game, you end up with $0.

Barstool's 'Bet $1, Get $100' Maryland Promo

If you're in Maryland, Barstool's promo code ACTNEWSMD is live for in-state users to bet $1 and get $100 in bonus cash.

This offer is actually a risk-free bet that also gets the $100 in bonus cash no matter what, so there's double-sided perks.

Let's try the same Giants-Cowboys example for ACTNEWSMD. You deposit and bet the minimum $10 on the +1050 priced parlay listed above:

• If the parlay hits, you win $105 ($10 x 10.50), keep your $10 deposit and get $100 in bonus cash. You now have $215 in your account.
• If the parlay misses, Barstool stakes your $10 plus hands an extra $100 in free bets. You have $110 after depositing — and technically losing — only $10.
