If you’re a sports fan, October is one of the best months of the year. It is filled with big games, and there is plenty of action for you over the next five days. When you wager $5 per day for the next five days on FanDuel, you’ll be given a $50 bonus bet token each day.
Planning out a week at a time can be a bit difficult, but not impossible. Today is a great day to start the action, and let’s try to get the next five days of sports action figured out. Starting tonight, the MLB playoffs are where the most action is happening.
There are two games to choose from today to start your betting. The Dodgers are facing the Braves in Atlanta. Then, in the evening, we are treated to a closeout game from the Brewers as they look to end the Padres’ season.

Wednesday has more baseball coming for everyone. Game three of both of the American League Division Series matchups takes place. The series shifts over to New York and to Chicago. The National League Division Series also sees both teams playing (if necessary).
Thursday brings us another game between the Guardians and White Sox as well as Game 4 of the Rays and Yankees, if necessary. Additionally, Thursday marks the day we can start wagering on the next week of NFL action as the Cowboys play the Buccaneers.
Friday has college football starting up, baseball games that are still needed in the American League, and hockey. There are plenty of options to bet on tonight, and by now you’ll have earned $150, so don’t stop now!
Saturday is the final day you’d need to find a wager to earn the most of the bonus bets. With college football in action, there is no shortage of betting options. Don’t forget that there could be MLB games if needed, and hockey will still be rolling along.
This week has a bit of everything for sports fans and sports bettors. Take advantage of FanDuel’s offer to earn $250 in bonus bets when wagering $5 per day for five days.
