BetMGM Bonus Code Offers $1000 Risk-Free First Bet For NFL Week 7 Matchups
Promo Code: BOOKIESBG150
New sports bettors, it’s time to get in the action. BetMGM wants to help, which is why it's taking the risk out of your very first wager with its latest BetMGM promo code.
Yes, BetMGM’s risk-free first bet is just as it sounds: New users with the sportsbook will win something from their first sports betting wager, no matter the result. Just create an account with BetMGM and make your initial deposit, then find a game to put your money on.
If the bet wins, you win (duh). If the bet loses, you’ll receive one or more free bets in your account at an equal value of the wager you made (up to $1,000). A $500 initial bet that loses, for example, would pay out in five $100 free bets. A $40 initial bet that loses would pay out in one $40 free bet.
Perhaps you’re wondering, “What the heck is a free bet?” In short, it’s a bet made up of site credit, and it cannot be cashed out. But it can earn you cash on your sports betting app, if you play your cards correctly.

For this Sunday’s NFL betting slate, you might want to back the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals at home against the spiraling Houston Texans. The Cardinals are 17-point favorites (-110 odds at BetMGM ), or a steep -1667 on the moneyline.
Those moneyline odds aren’t going to do much for you, but if you parlay that with a couple of other favorites (Panthers over Giants and Patriots over Jets), you’ve suddenly got +132 odds on your hands. So a $100 bet would yield $232.62 with a win, or five $20 free bets in the event of a loss.
Whether or not you want in on the free bet promo, BetMGM has a different kind of free offering in mind. Every week, the sportsbook runs a “King of the Weekend” event, which is completely free to play and provides the chance at a $50,000 prize.
BetMGM provides a slate of NFL games, from which users must predict the six highest-scoring teams in order. Picking all six highest-scoring teams correctly, in order, earns the $50,000 cash prize (or a share of that prize if multiple users win). And there are other weekly prizes, too.
Picking top teams earns users a free bet, and the value descends along with the correct number of picks: Top-five teams, $250 free bet; top-four teams, $50 free bet; top-three teams, $25 free bet; top-two teams, $5 free bet; top team, $1 free bet. One weekly submission per user is allowed, and entries must be in prior to the start of the Sunday games.
NFL Week 7 Sunday matchups, key storylines
As you consider your NFL picks for Sunday, let’s keep a keen eye on some of the highest-scoring outfits.
Four of the top-six scoring offenses in the NFL are in action Sunday afternoon, and three of them are playing bottom-10 scoring defenses.

The Cardinals (32.3 points/game) face the Texans (28.7 points allowed/game), the Rams (29.8 points/game) face the Lions (28.7 points allowed/game) and the Chiefs (30.8 points/game) face the Titans (26.8 points allowed/game).
Of these games, we are especially interested in the Chiefs and Titans. Everyone saw what Derrick Henry did to Buffalo’s strong run defense last week, and yet the NFL odds have the Titans as 5.5-point home underdogs at most sportsbooks against the Chiefs.

For what it’s worth, the Chiefs have a bottom-five scoring defense (29.3 points allowed/game) of their own.
