This tool, as the (very creative) name implies, helps you find arbitrage bets.

\n\n

If you don't know what arbitrage bets are, I'll give you the quick rundown: these are markets where sportsbooks have such different odds that you can bet both sides and guarantee yourself a profit regardless of who wins.

\n\n

Imagine if you're betting on a coin flip but both heads and tails pay out $1.10 for every $1 bet. You could simply bet on both sides and you'll turn a profit no matter what.

\n\n

That's what arbitrage bets are; now I'm going to show you how to find them with OA Pro (it's super easy):

\n\n $\"Arbitrage$ \n\n

Each card you see shows an event that currently has an arbitrage betting opportunity available.

\n\n

Some cards, like in this example, will have multiple rows, which means multiple arbs are available for the event. Most often, this will be for the same bets (Over 7 and Under) but with one different sportsbook (BetMGM & Caesars).

\n\n

1) Bets & sportsbooks

\n\n

This section shows which two sportsbooks you need to bet on to lock in the arbitrage opportunity and which specific bets you have to make.

\n\n

In the first case, you will be placing two bets:

\n\n

Over 7 in Brewers @ Pirates at +105 odds at BetMGM
Under 7 in Brewers @ Pirates at +100 odds at Caesars

\n\n

2) Total wager amount & bet sizes

\n\n

First, enter how much you want to wager across both bets in the Total Wager column.

\n\n

Once you do this, the Bet Sizes section will update to show how much you should be at each sportsbook and your total payout.

\n\n

Make sure that the odds reflect what you're seeing on the sportsbook app/site.

\n\n

If the odds are different for some reason, you can quickly tell if the arb opportunity is still present by adding the odds of each side of the bet together.

\n\n

Using the example above, we would add +105 (O7 on BetMGM) and +100 (U7 on Caesars) to get +5.

\n\n

Since the sum is a positive number, we know we will profit no matter what, as long as we bet the right amounts.

\n\n

3) Return on Investment (ROI)

\n\n

This section simply shows how much of your total bet amount you will profit based on the current odds.

\n\n

While we include all arbs that guarantee a profit, many users choose to only spend time on those that result in an ROI of 1% to 5% or more.

\n\n

4) Filters

\n\n

Here, you can:

\n\n

League – Choose which league you want to show arb bets for.
Market – Specify what types of markets (spread, moneyline, total, etc.) you want to see arb bets for.
Period – Choose a specific game period you want to see bets for (full-time, first half, etc.)
Sportsbooks – Check which sportsbooks you want to be included so you don't waste your time looking at opportunities on books you don't use.

\n\n

5) Automatic refresh

\n\n

Keeping this toggled on (which is the default) will update the screen as soon as we detect a new arb or an arb is no longer available.

\n\n

I recommend just leaving this checked. There's not really much of a reason not to.

\n\n

6) Live arbitrage bets view

\n\n

Here you can see arbs for games that are currently in progress. These often have higher ROI due to the volatility of live odds, but are harder to lock in since the odds change so frequently.

Our +EV Bets Finder helps you find bets with positive expected value (+EV for short).

\n\n

While these bets aren't guaranteed to win, they should be statistically profitable over time if you consistently bet them.

\n\n

Expected value is how much you should expect to win on the bet. Bet $1 on a true 50/50 coin flip? Your EV is $1.

\n\n

Now imagine if the odds were weighted in favor of tails, and you won $1.25 off a $1 bet even though there's still a 50% chance of tails hitting. That's a +EV bet since your expected return is more than your wager.

\n\n

While tails might not win every time, over time, if you consistently bet on it, you'll make money. That's how +EV bets work.

\n\n

Now let's take a look at the tool:

\n\n $\"+EV$ \n\n

1) Bet & Sportsbook

\n\n

Like the arbitrage tool, each row here shows a specific bet.

\n\n

In this example, we have FanDuel offering a +EV bet: AI Ain ML at +5500 odds.

\n\n

2) No Vig odds

\n\n

This section shows the consensus odds at all sportsbooks offering the bet, which we use to determine if something is a +EV bet and what the ROI is.

\n\n

3) ROI

\n\n

This is the expected return on investment of the bet based on the current odds and the no vig odds.

\n\n

The higher the ROI, the better value you're getting.

\n\n

Note that this ROI percentage is not guaranteed. Unlike arbitrage bets, you can still lose money by betting these, but over time, betting them should be profitable.

\n\n

The higher the no vig odds, the less likely it is to win. For example, in the first row of the screenshot, the no vig odds are +3173, which is roughly 32/1, meaning it still is very much a longshot bet.

\n\n

4) Filters

\n\n

We use the same filters as the arbitrage bets tool.

\n\n

You can only show +EV bets from specific leagues, markets, and periods, and set which sportsbooks you want to show in the tool by default.

\n\n

5) Automatic reload

\n\n

Keeping this toggled on (which is the default) will update the screen as soon as we detect a new +EV bet or when a +EV bet is no longer available.

\n ",{"_27":43,"_18":44,"_14":17,"_30":45,"_32":46,"_34":47},"middles","Middles","Learn How Our Middles Tool Works - Odds Assist Pro","Learn how to find middle betting opportunities with the Odds Assist Pro middles finder tool.","\n

A middle bet is when there is a chance to bet two sides of a bet and win both if the result ends up on a certain spread or point total.

\n\n

For example, say FanDuel has the Eagles/Giants Total (Over/Under) at 48.5, but DraftKings has the Total at 46.

\n\n

You could bet Under 48.5 at FanDuel and Over 46 at DraftKings. If the total ends up at 47 or 48, you would win both bets.

\n\n

That's a middle bet! The spreads/totals differ enough that there is a middle section with overlapping numbers.

\n\n

Let's take a look at the tool to help illustrate further:

\n\n $\"Middles$ \n\n

1) Sportsbooks & Bets

\n\n

Much like the +EV and arb tools, our middle tool has a single row for each event that has middle opportunities.

\n\n

In the first row, we see a middle between the Red and Twins, with both BetMGM and BetPARX offering one of the sides at +1.5.

\n\n

We could bet the Reds +1.5 at BetMGM and the Twins +1.5 at BetPARX. If the game ends with either team winning by 1, you would win both sides of the bet.

\n\n

It's not as simple as taking every middle opportunity available like with arb and +EV bets, however. You need to consider the difference between the lines and the odds.

\n\n

We'll go over odds next, but quickly, when I say \"the difference between the lines,\" I mean how big that middle section is, which you can see in the Middle Gap column.

\n\n

In this example, we have 3 points in the middle. The bigger the middle section, the greater the chance that it hits.

\n\n

Note that for sports with lower scores (hockey, baseball, soccer, etc.), points in the middle are more valuable than in higher-scoring sports like football and basketball.

\n\n

3) Max profit & max loss

\n\n

This section simply shows how much you would win if the middle hits (Max Profit) and how much you could lose if the middle doesn't hit (Max Loss).

\n\n

In the case of max loss, one of the bets has to hit, so you'll always be winning at least one side of the bet, though it may not make up for the amount you would lose on the other side of the bet.

\n\n

4) Filters

\n\n

Same filters as the other tools: League, Market, Period, and Sportsbooks.

\n\n

5) Automatic reload

\n\n

Keeping this toggled on (which is the default) will update the screen as soon as we detect a new middle opportunity or when one is no longer available.
