## Summary

This video explains what a profit boost is and demonstrates how to use one on DraftKings, emphasizing the importance of applying it to high-odds bets like money lines or spreads rather than low-odds favorites to maximize value.

### Key Points

- **Profit Boost Definition** [00:03] — A profit boost is a promotion offered by sportsbooks like Caesars and DraftKings that increases the potential payout on a bet.
- **DraftKings Boost Example** [00:29] — The host shows a 33% profit boost for a Notre Dame vs. BYU game, with a max bet of $10, and opts in to use it.

- **Optimal Use of Profit Boost** [02:09] — The host advises against using profit boosts on low-odds bets (e.g., -110) and recommends applying them to money lines or spreads with higher odds to maximize value.
- **Boosted Bet Calculation** [02:48] — Applying the 33% boost to BYU money line (+155) results in +206, which is significantly better than the average odds of +154.

- **Additional Boosts** [04:16] — The host notes two remaining boosts: one for a same-game parlay and one for a live bet, encouraging viewers to use all available boosts.

## Transcript

oddsjam back with you today to talk about what a profit boost is and how you can use it so oftentimes uh you'll see Sports books they will give you a profit boost um Caesars is one sports books sports
book that does that DraftKings is another sports book that does that as well and so what I'm going to do today is I'm going to show you um how to use a profit boost on DraftKings you can do the same thing on
Caesars but I'm going to show you how to do one on DraftKings because I have one that is out there for today so if we take a look here we can see DraftKings they offer you a lot of of boosts here this is one for the Big Ten
um it's a 10 profit boost you get three of them to use on any big ten football games on October 7th and October 8th now unfortunately the only game left for me here in Illinois is the Illinois Iowa game and I cannot bet on that one so
going to take a look at this go Irish boost pack you get three 33 profit boost for the game tonight so if I look at this we can see that I get a single use
on the pre-match I get a single use on the live profit boost and I get a single use on a same game parlay so it's just a Max 10 BET for me this number will vary depending on you know what your account status is and so I've already opted into
this and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you how to use this profit boost and and really kind of what you should do so if I look at oddsjam I can should do so if I look at oddsjam I can see that the best odds out there for BYU
is plus 161. now that's at Pinnacle the best odds that I could actually get are either on Caesars at plus 158 or DraftKings at plus 155. so when you get a profit boost um you know the last thing you want to
do is use it on something that's minus 110 you know if we take Notre Dame minus four we take that from minus 110 to plus 120. that's just not a good use of a profit boost and so what I like to do is I always like to throw these profit
boosts on a money line now this one is game specific so we have to either put it on BYU or we have to put it on Notre Dame and so again it doesn't make sense
to bet it on something that's minus 110 or even betting it on something like Notre Dame to take them down to -137 now certainly -137 would be a great bet um when you're looking at the average
odds but I want to get the most bang for my Buck on this profit boost so I'm going to actually boost BYU in this spot and you can see when I do that it takes and you can see when I do that it takes BYU to plus 206. so now when we look at
BYU to plus 206. so now when we look at this we're getting BYU at plus 206 and we can see that you know the average odds again are plus 154. so this is a really really good bet um this would be one you know that I
would recommend placing this is how you should use profit boosts you can you can use the tools at oddsjam just by simple odds comparison to to find what the best odds are maybe what the best bet is you know I could certainly take a look if I
know I could certainly take a look if I wanted to bet on BYU to win so we could take a look at that because we can boost it on anything so we can see here if we wanted to take BYU let me just see if that's a possibility so we could
actually take you know BYU minus one and a half so I mean we could even boost this a a little bit more if we wanted to it looks like that's the best we could do so actually let's go ahead and do that I'm actually going to switch my
tune here and I'm going to go ahead and take BYU minus one and a half I'm going to take that at plus 232. you can see that BYU minus one and a half best odds out there were DraftKings at plus 175 so we are getting Now Incredible value here
on BYU minus one and a half so I'm going to go ahead and lock that in it's a ten to go ahead and lock that in it's a ten dollar Max for me so 10 to win 23 27 so um and so now I have two more boosts left I've got one for a sing game parlay
if I wanted to do one and then I've got one for the live bet as well so just wanted to do a quick video show you guys how to use a profit boost you should definitely use every single one of them that the sports books give you they're
very very profitable if you take advantage of them and use them long term you know on something it's more of a long shot rather than something that say minus 110. so I appreciate you guys tuning in if you have any questions
