How to get the most out of your edge finder

Edge Finder is designed to be easy to master and quick to use – but there are still ways to maximize your efficiency.

Each bet listed will look like this:

The details are listed below:

• sports – Show football or basketball to indicate sport (more sports coming in the future)
• match – The event you want to bet on
• market – The market you will bet on, such as match odds or over/under
• choose – The specific choice of which market you will bet on
• start – Date and time of event
• Enterprise value % – Displays the percentage of expected value of a bet, which actually corresponds to the long-term value you would receive from a £100 bet. For example, in the example above (123.08%), the long-term value of a £100 bet would be a profit of £23.08. As long as this number exceeds 100%, the bet has a positive expected value.
• B. Odds – Odds provided by bookmakers
• bet – Recommended bets based on your bankroll and Kelly percentage preferences
• gambler – The bookmaker who places your bets

Click the calculator button for any bet to see more information, including fair odds, and have your bet stored in the Profit Tracker after you place it.

Click “Store and Delete” to store the bet in your Profit Tracker and hide it from the Edge Finder results so your view is not cluttered with bets that have been placed.

A note about your recommended bets: This is based on the Kelly Criterion, which balances your available bankroll and preferred level of risk to produce the best bets to grow your bankroll without exposing you to undue risk. By default, this value will be set to 0.25 in your settings.

Above the main results set is the alert feed, which sends you notifications of potentially profitable bets in real time. You can use the filters at the top of the page (e.g. EV > 110%) to narrow down the alerts you receive. Clicking an alert loads bets into your table view so you can evaluate bets before odds update and place your bets quickly.

For best results, We recommend refreshing the tool regularlyespecially before you place your bet, double-check whether the EV% is still worth it. Markets change rapidly, especially during busy periods, and it’s crucial to ensure that the bets you place still have value.

We also strongly recommend that you double check the exact market you are betting on, especially if you are less familiar with the more obscure markets. For example, the Asian Handicap and European Handicap markets are easily confused, and at first glance it is easy to confuse the Full Time and Half Time markets. A quick check before confirming your bet can avoid costly mistakes.

Best time to use edge finder

no one bad It’s time to use an edge finder, but it’s true that some times offer more and better opportunities than others.

As with other types of sports betting and value betting, weekends and evenings is the busiest period and therefore offers the most opportunities. The market moves quickly at these times, especially at the start of an event, which means there is a higher chance of price differences.

However, this does not mean that there is no value outside of these times. It’s not uncommon to find pricing differences a few days before a race – although ideally it’s still possible to find the best value bets shortly before the event starts Within a few hours of starting.

Since there will be a lot of betting activity in the run-up to the match, your bets are also less likely to attract the bookmaker’s attention, meaning your account is likely to remain healthy for longer.

That said, there’s enough flexibility in scheduling to allow anyone, regardless of their schedule, to get excellent value from Edge Finder, whether they’re strategically betting consistently or just making some value bets in their spare time.

Important Tips for Successful Edge Hunting

Learning the basics of using Edge Finder isn’t difficult, but you can still apply some best practices to make sure you get the most out of it. Follow these tips to maximize your profits while protecting your betting account:

1. Resist the temptation of high odds

High odds offer higher returns, but they have two main disadvantages: higher variance, and the potential for greater scrutiny from bookmakers. By default, the maximum betting odds shown in the tool are set to 5.0, as lower odds will keep your results consistent and help you stay off the bookmaker’s radar.

2. Check your market carefully

Some of the markets recommended by Edge Finder may look similar but are actually very different, such as the European and Asian Handicap markets. To ensure that the EV you see is accurate, be sure to double-check the type of bet you are placing before placing your bet.

3. Refresh regularly

You’ll find that the market moves quickly and odds change frequently, especially during busy periods and as events approach. Make sure to refresh the software regularly to avoid making decisions based on outdated information, and always refresh immediately before placing a bet to ensure the odds and EV you see are still accurate.

4. Use Kelly Equity Advice

It’s common for people to stick to the same bet every time, but this isn’t the most efficient way to place bets. Edge Finder has built-in bet recommendations based on your bankroll and the Kelly percentage you choose in the settings. Make the most of the bets you place by following their recommended bets without exposing yourself to undue risk. For new users, a Kelly percentage of 20-25% is a good level and will allow you to grow your bankroll at a reasonable, steady rate.

5. Spread your bets across a range of bookmakers

It may be tempting to stick to a few of your favorite bookmakers, but you do risk receiving unwanted attention if you place too many value bets from just a few accounts. Edge Finder is integrated with nearly 100 bookmakers and you should take advantage of this and spread your bets across as many companies as possible. This keeps each account healthier and less likely to be stolen.

Follow these tips to get the most out of this tool and maximize your profits while minimizing risk.
