PointsBet Sportsbook: Get five second-chance bets this weekend, up to $250

There’s plenty to bet on this weekend with PointsBet sportsbook in Pennsylvania. The sportsbook offers one of the most unique welcome bonuses in the Keystone State.

PointsBet second chance bets: what you need to know

First things first: you don’t need a PointsBet promo code to claim this welcome offer. Instead, you can simply to get in on the action.

How does the bonus actually work, though? You get a $50 second chance bet each day for your first five days with a PointsBet Pennsylvania sportsbook account. Your first bet each day will be refunded in site credits if it loses. If the bet wins, you get the winnings and the bonus for that day is moot.

To help you understand the bonus, let’s say you place the following bets for your first five days:

• Friday: $65 (win)
• Saturday: $150 (lose)
• Sunday: $25 (lose)
• Monday: $50 (win)
• Tuesday: $50 (lose)

The scenario above would give you a total of $125 in bonus credit. Winning bets don’t get you a bonus. Instead, you get the winnings as normal. The losing bets pay you back in credit up to $50 each. Here’s a breakdown:

• Friday: no bonus
• Saturday: $50 back (maximum amount)
• Sunday: $25 back
• Monday: no bonus
• Tuesday: $50 back

You can bet any amount of your choice, but your bonus will only ever be a maximum of $50 each day. You can bet less than $50, too, but then you’ll only get refunded the amount of your wager (like in the $25 example above).

We’re in the height of summer, which means golf betting is among the hottest options at PointsBet and other PA sports betting sites. and start placing wagers on the John Deere Classic.

The tournament is already underway at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. The purse is $7,400,000.

Current tournament win odds for the top ten golfers at PointsBet are:

• Adam Schenk: +800
• Cameron Young: +850
• Seamus Power: +1600
• Denny McCarthy: +1800
• Nate Lashley: +1800
• Grayson Murray: +2000
• Garrick Higgo: +2000
• Greyson Sigg: +2200
• Russell Henley: +2200
• Ludvig Aberg: +2200

You may notice that many of the top names in golf—Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, and others are missing from the John Deere Classic roster. The Open Championship takes place at Royal Liverpool Golf Course from July 20 to 23, so many of the world’s top-ranked players aren’t participating in the John Deere Classic.

One of the biggest tennis betting events is currently underway. Wimbledon’s second round of play is in progress, and the tournament will culminate with the finals on July 16. PointsBet has a great variety of coverage, making it an easy destination for live betting on Wimbledon

Bets include match results (who will win each match), game winner, set winner, and much more. You can even bet on the total number of games a match will take to complete.

Want to get even more granular? PointsBet lives up to its name and lets you bet on individual point rallies in Wimbledon matches.

Pennsylvania’s two MLB teams play this weekend. Both teams are traveling: the Pirates head to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks while the Philadelphia Phillies venture to the heat of Miami, where they’ll take on the Marlins.

But which team to bet on? It isn’t so simple as to recommend one or the other. Instead, you might be better off taking a look at the different wagers on offer.

The Pirates have been struggling this season, and the Diamondbacks are first in the NL West. A moneyline bet isn’t super advisable, but you could give the run line a try (depending on where it’s set) or go for a totals bet.

Meanwhile, the Phillies (third in the NL East) take on the 51-37 Marlins. The Phillies are 24-23 when traveling, but the Marlins are a dominant 28-16 at home. Plus, Miami is hot off a trio of contests against the ailing St. Louis Cardinals. Still, there’s reason to hope for a strong showing from Philadelphia. The Phillies have won 7 of their last 10, one of those victories a whopping 19-4 victory over the Nationals. With momentum on their side, we like the Phillies to take down the Marlins in the first of this three-game series.
