Introduction

SmartBettor’s +EV Tool automates the process of finding profitable betting opportunities by analyzing thousands of bets in real-time. Our +EV tool identifies thousands of +EV opportunities, calculates optimal bet sizes, and helps you get your bets placed with one click. You can watch our EV betting tutorial below.

Step 1: Customize Your Settings

Sportsbook Selection

• Select which sportsbooks you have access to in your region
• SmartBettor will only show opportunities available at your chosen books
• This ensures you only see bets you can actually place

Market Preferences

• Choose which sports leagues to monitor (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.)
• Select bet types you’re interested in:
  • Moneylines
  • Spreads
  • Player props
  • Quarter/half props
  • And more

Advanced Filters

• Set odds range preferences (e.g., -200 to +200 for balanced odds, or -500 to -110 for underdogs, for example)
• Choose your devig method (multiplicative is recommended for most users)
• Select your preferred devig book (Pinnacle, FanDuel, or market average)

Step 2: View +EV Opportunities

The main feed displays available bets sorted by +EV percentage (highest to lowest), showing:

• Sport and event details
• Bet type and odds
• Expected Value (EV%)
• Recommended bet size
• Sportsbook offering the odds

For advanced users:

• Expand the EV column to see calculations across all devig methods
• View no-vig odds using different calculation methods

Step 3: Shop Lines

Click any row to expand the Line Shopper view:

• While the main view shows the best available line, you can see all current prices across all sportsbooks

Step 4: Place Your Bets

One-Click Betting

• For supported sportsbooks and markets, click the “Bet” button to place your wager automatically
• The system will use your preset Kelly Criterion settings to determine bet size. All you have to do is type in the recommended bet size in your bet slip.

Manual Betting

• For unsupported books or markets, navigate to the specific sportsbook page or app.
• Manually place the bet with SmartBettor’s preset Kelly Criterion bet size.

Tips for Success

1. Start with the default multiplicative devig method until you’re comfortable with more advanced options
2. Focus on bets with high EV percentages and low no-vig odds for a higher win-rate
3. Maintain consistent bet sizing based on SmartBettor’s recommendations
4. Don’t chase losses – trust the system’s mathematical approach
5. Aim for volume while maintaining discipline with bet sizing (20+ bets per day is recommended)

Summary

SmartBettor automates everything you need for successful +EV betting. Simply follow the recommendations, maintain discipline with your bet sizing, and let mathematical edges work in your favor over time to turn sports betting into an additional source of income.

What’s Next: Taking +EV Betting Further with AI

Traditional +EV betting is powerful, but it’s just the beginning. Not all +EV bets are created equal, and that’s where SmartBettor’s AI model comes in.

SmartBettor’s neural network analyzes every +EV opportunity in real-time, going beyond basic probability calculations to identify superior betting opportunities. By filtering out lower-quality +EV bets, variance decreases and ROI increases, consistently outperforming traditional +EV betting systems.
