Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PointsBet Bears +86 promotion and how does it work?
PointsBet is offering Bears fans a promotional 86-point spread against Tampa Bay, meaning you win the bet as long as the Bears don't lose by more than 86 points. The 86 points comes from 1986 when the Bears last won the Super Bowl, and it's designed as a no-brainer bet for new users to try the sportsbook.
What is the actual spread for Bears vs Bucs without the promotion?
The non-promotional spread for the game is Bears +4.5 with an over/under of 44 and Chicago at +185 on the money line. These normal betting numbers show just how crazy the 86-point promotional spread really is.
Why are the 3-1 Bears ranked so low in NFL power rankings?
Despite being 3-1, the Bears are ranked 22nd in NFL.com's power rankings, the worst of any three-win team. This is likely due to their uncertainty at quarterback with both Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky starting games this season.
When did PointsBet become the Bears' official betting partner?
PointsBet agreed to an exclusive sponsorship with the Chicago Bears at the end of September, becoming the team's first betting partner. They also announced a partnership with Bears legend Devin Hester.
What other PointsBet promotions are available for new players?
New players can get up to $1,500 in risk-free bets, including up to $500 back on their first fixed odds bet and up to $1,000 back on their first PointsBetting wager. There's also a promotion where you can win $120 by betting $20 if the Bears score just one point.
