How to Use the Optimizer

What the Optimizer does

Sportsbooks rarely agree perfectly. One book may be slow after injury news, another may shade toward public action, and another may simply have a different risk position. The Optimizer turns those differences into a ranked list of positive-EV bets at the book you choose.

It removes the hold from the market, estimates a fair price, and compares that fair price to the line you can actually bet. When your price is better, the row earns a positive EV percentage. Game lines and player props share one board, so a stale spread and a mispriced prop compete for the same spot at the top.

Set a useful default view

Start with the Book picker. The Optimizer ranks one book at a time, so choose one you have funded. A 4% edge at a book you do not have is just research. A 2% edge at your main book is actionable.

Then narrow League, Game day, and Markets to what you want to cover. Many users begin with spreads and totals, then add player props and moneylines once they are comfortable with thinner markets and larger price swings.

How to read a row

Each row shows the play, your book's price, the EV percentage, and the chance to hit with its fair odds. The fair price is the key number because it tells you what the bet should cost in a cleaner market.

The columns to the right show the same bet at other books, so you can see which book is out of line. Expand a row to check how the line has moved. If the price has moved, pass. If the price is still there, the edge is real enough to consider.

Sizing with discipline

Game-line edges tend to be smaller than prop edges, and props usually carry lower limits, so sizing matters. Many bettors start with flat units and then graduate to fractional Kelly as their tracking improves.

Why stale lines matter

The best edges often come from temporary disagreement. Injury news, weather, or sharp movement can update one book before another. The edge is strongest before the lagging book catches up.
