A huge weekend of sport and racing awaits.

Punters can indulge in a treble of Group 1 races up in Brisbane, which plays host to the Stradbroke Handicap, Queensland Derby and JJ Atkins on Saturday.

Over in the US, it is do or die for Cleveland in the NBA Finals as Golden State Warriors look to close out the series in game four.

Australia are hoping the rain stays away for the final round of ICC Champions Trophy group games, while it is down to the heavy hitters in the singles draws of the French Open.

We also have some bumper AFL and NRL fixtures to look forward to, so sink you teeth into these specials and bonuses from Australia’s best online bookmakers.

2017 Stradbroke Handicap betting specials

[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1134638_08]

The bookies have bonuses galore for the highlight event of the Brisbane winter carnival.

CrownBet.com.au is running a money-back deal for every race at Doomben this Saturday, including all three Group 1 features.

If your fixed-odds win bet runs second or third in any gallop, the house will refund your stake up to $50 in bonus bets.

William Hill has a similar offer, but only for the first four runs on Stradbroke Day.

That is also the case at Sportsbet.com.au, except it applies to the opening quartet at Flemington and Randwick as well.

For stakes up to $100, Ladbrokes customers can enjoy boosted odds on any runner in the Stradbroke Handicap main event.

Doomben is the obvious featured meeting at Bet365.com.au, where you can score a cash refund up to $100 on your next bet if you have a winner at +400 or greater on any race.

NBA Finals bookie bonuses

The Warriors are 3-0 up and gunning for a clean sweep, but there is great value to be had no matter which way you bet in game four.

Sportsbet has offered NBA first basket betting specials throughout the finals series, and it should be no different for Saturday’s blockbuster.

If you back any player to net the first score of the game, Sportsbet will give you $50 back in bonus cash if your man instead bags the second or third basket.

CrownBet goes one better, extending that $50 bonus to the fourth basket of the night.

Both Sportsbet and WilliamHill.com.au have promised -105.26 lines on handicap betting for every game of the NBA Finals.

AFL footy specials

The AFL bye rounds might mean fewer games this weekend, but the bookies have filled the gaps by cramming value into every one.

If your head-to-head pick leads by 24 points at any time, Sportsbet.com.au will pay you out straight away.

That super deal applies to every single AFL match in round 12.

CrownBet also has an enticing head-to-head AFL betting special for the Swans vs. Bulldogs and Demons vs. Magpies clashes.

If you bet $20 or more on either of those selected games, you will earn $1 in CrownBet Rewards for every point your team wins by.

For example: if we back Melbourne and they get up by exactly six goals, we will collect $36 in bonus points.

Put a first goalscorer bet on the Carlton vs. GWS game and CrownBet will also dish out $50 bonus cash if your man boots a major in the first quarter.

Both CrownBet, Sportsbet and William Hill all money-back bonuses for AFL multi bets that miss out by a single leg.

NRL betting bonuses

Round 14 commences with a grand final replay between league leaders Melbourne Storm and second-placed Cronulla Sharks.

Ladbrokes.com.au has a stack of NRL bet specials in play:

• Boosted +120 odds on the Shark to beat the Storm
• +550 Mega Multi on Titans, Panthers and Cowboys all to win
• NRL Footy Freaks specials for every game of round 14

For Sharks vs. Storm on Thursday and Broncos vs. Rabbitohs on Friday, Sportsbet customers can pocket double winnings up to $50 on selected margin bets.

Both CrownBet and William Hill have insurance on NRL multi bets of four legs or more, with $50 in bonus bets on offer if only one leg fails.
