Frequently asked questions

Surebets (or arbitrage bets) involve betting on all outcomes of an event across different bookmakers where the combined odds lock in a small margin whichever side wins, as long as every leg is placed at the posted odds. Odds move, and books can limit, void or cancel bets, so surebets are low risk, not no risk. Our bot finds these opportunities automatically.

Value bets occur when a bookmaker's odds are higher than the true probability of an outcome. We calculate true probability by stripping the vig from Pinnacle's sharp lines, the most accurate odds in the industry. When another book offers better odds than Pinnacle says are fair, that's +EV.

The engine checks prices every minute, all day. The moment a surebet or value bet is found, it lands on the web board, and Premium members can get a Discord DM alert. Arbs can close in minutes, so confirm the odds at the book before you bet.

It is possible, but nothing is certain. A surebet locks in its margin only if every leg is placed at the posted odds, and books can limit, void or cancel bets. Value bets can lose in the short run and only show an edge over a large sample. We grade every pick in public so you can check the record yourself.

We compare PrizePicks projections against sportsbook consensus odds to find edges on player props (points, rebounds, strikeouts, etc.). Only picks with a 15%+ edge make the cut. We filter hard so you only see the best plays.

We scan 100+ bookmakers including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, BetRivers, Unibet, William Hill, Bet365, and many more across US, UK, and EU markets. Sports include NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, soccer, tennis, MMA, college basketball, and more.

For surebets, at least $500-1,000 split across 3-4 sportsbooks to place both sides profitably. For EV/value bets, we recommend a $1,000+ bankroll since you'll have variance. DFS picks on PrizePicks can start as low as $5 per entry.

Placing bets at more than one licensed sportsbook is legal where sports betting is legal. Sportsbooks may limit or close accounts that win consistently, including arbitrage accounts. Follow each book's terms of service.

Our arb and value bet picks cover international bookmakers too (Pinnacle, Bovada, BetOnline, Bet365, and more). DFS picks are PrizePicks-specific (US/Canada). Check #select-your-state in Discord for what's available in your area.

No. A surebet's margin holds only if every leg is placed at the posted odds, and books can limit, void or cancel bets. EV/value bets have short-term variance and can lose. We grade every pick in public so you can see the real numbers, and past results do not guarantee future results.

The Polymarket channel shows live sports prediction market data from Polymarket, a real-money prediction market. See where sharp money is flowing on game outcomes, player props, and more. It's an extra edge for understanding market sentiment.

No. Many arb opportunities involve at least one international book, but those books are not licensed in every state or country. Only open accounts with books that are legal where you live, and follow each book's terms of service.

The cut a sportsbook builds into its odds. On a fair coin flip both sides would pay +100; a book offers -110 on both and keeps the difference.

Sharp books such as Pinnacle take big bets and move their lines fast, so their prices are close to the true odds. Soft books move slower, which is where value shows up.

How your price compares with the final odds before the game starts. Beating the close again and again is the best long-run sign of a real edge.

+150 means a $100 bet wins $150. -150 means you bet $150 to win $100. Decimal odds show the total return per $1, so +150 is 2.50 and -150 is 1.67.

A formula that sizes each bet from your edge and the odds. We size picks at a quarter of full Kelly to keep swings small.

Even good bets lose often in the short run. Keep a bankroll you can afford to lose and bet a small, steady share of it.
