On the eve of the onset of the 2021-22 NFL preseason and the annual Hall of Fame Game, online sportsbook BetOnline is running a promotion that offers a grand prize of $500,000.
That’s right – half a million dollars in cold hard cash to online NFL bettors that can correctly predict the most pro football winners against the spread over the course of the entire 2021-22 season.
Here’s how it works. In each of the NFL season’s 18 weeks, BetOnline members must bet against the NFL point spread on five games that are available at their sportsbook site. When the selections are made, the point spread is locked into place and will not be changed even if oddsmakers shift it later on.
Picks can be edited but they must be done so prior to game time and must be made from the remaining week’s available NFL game lines.
Each winning pick is worth one point and every push is worth a half-point. After 18 weeks’ worth of NFL betting action, the points will be tallied and cash prizes will be distributed to the top 200 finishers.
The guaranteed half-million-dollar prize pool awards first place $200,000, with five-figure cash sums granted to the top 6 finishers.
- 1st Place $200,000
- 2nd Place $50,000
- 3rd Place $25,000
- 4th Place $20,000
- 5th Place $15,000
- 6th Place $10,000
Four-figure cash prizes will be given to 7th through 40th place, with $800-$300 being granted to 41st through 200th place finishers.
A couple of items to be aware of are if the NFL season doesn’t last for at least 10 weeks, the entire contest will be canceled and entry fees will be refunded.
The registration window is open now through September 13th at 8:05 PM, but participants must be a member at BetOnline prior to entering the Half Million MegaContest. This is a very simple process that can be completed within minutes by clicking the join icon atop BetOnline’s homepage.
The entry fee is $100, but follow-up entries reduce in price drastically. The second entry is $75, while the third drops to $50, with the fourth & fifth coming in at a paltry $25 each. That’s $275 total for five cracks at the $200,000 grand prize.
If that doesn’t whet everyone’s appetite for betting on the NFL, each entry qualifies members for a quarterly prize of five grand for the point leaders after each fourth of the 2021-22 season.
Imagine a scenario where a contestant in BetOnline’s Half Million Dollar MegaContest goes wire-to-wire and tops the leaderboard for the entire NFL season. The grand prize winner could total out at a potential $220,000 in cold hard cash if that happens.
Head on over to BetOnline now to take part in this promotion and check out all the other NFL odds they have to offer, as well as Super Bowl betting options for next February’s big game.
