As a practical matter you usually just bet aggressively for as little time as you can get away with to qualify for the promotion.
(I'm sure some luminary has written an endless, hopelessly impractical study of the subject which gives some technical optimal strategy and ignores the actual real-world aspects of these promotions if any one wants to take this further. You know, google it. Then again if people googled stuff this board would be dead.)
For sports bets exploit the co-variance and lay off the bet with another book. Even if you lose expectation your bankroll will grow faster by reducing fluctuations.
