thought betting was literally just trying to predict winners this whole time lol

then i randomly went down a rabbit hole on this arbitrage betting stuff and apparently people are finding situations where different sportsbooks have completely different odds on the same game

so they bet both sides and the gap between the prices is where the profit comes from

sounds fake as fuck at first but the more i looked into it the more it actually made sense

still wrapping my head around how sportsbooks can even let this happen tbh

ive also seen there's softwares/tools that just do all the maths for you.

was wondering if any one in here has heard of Arbitrage and maybe could recommend some tools or websites they have used.

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you.

I can't seem to post on any communites becuase I have Negative Karma. I'm not entierly sure what that means if someone could help me out would be much appreiciated.

Hey Guys, I'm super new to reddit and was wondering why I've got Negative karma and how I can get it positive again?

Not sure how people are still doing this manually tbh.

When I first started I had like 6 tabs open trying to compare odds and it was just chaos.

You’d finally spot something and by the time you go to place it the price is gone.

Been messing around with BetHero this week and it’s just way easier to actually see stuff in real time.

Still getting used to it but feels like the only way to do it properly now.

Manual works if you’re patient I guess but I don’t see how you scale it at all.

Curious if anyone here still does it manually or if everyone’s moved to tools now?

Most casual bettors ask:

“Will this bet win?”

People who understand positive EV usually ask:

“Is this price wrong?”

That sounds rubbish, but it’s a completely different game.

One person is trying to predict one event.

The other is trying to make hundreds of mathematically strong decisions over time.

That’s why some profitable bettors can look “wrong” constantly in the short term, but they know their making the right bet even if it loses.

Curious how many people here focus on EV vs just picking winners?
