Reading the board

Find the prices the market got wrong.

Compare available sportsbook, exchange and pick'em data. Fair-price calculations use eligible odds; published odds and unpriced lines stay clearly labelled for comparison.

No profit promises. Expected value is an estimate, and you can still lose.

All twelve tools, and what each one is for

The idea

Every market has a true line. Books don't always sit on it.

Sharp books set prices that are hard to beat. Take out their margin, and you have a fair estimate of the chance. When another book pays more than that chance is worth, the difference is your expected value.

Worked example with round numbers. Not a live price.

Expected value at this price

How you use it

From the board to your own record, in three steps.

How we score a price
  1. Scan

    Open Positive EV or the odds screen, filter to the books you can actually use, and sort by what matters to you.

  2. Check

    See the fair chance, the price's age and how much is on offer. Then confirm the price at the book, because it can move before you get there.

  3. Track

    Log the ticket. Your closing line value shows whether you're beating the market, long before results can tell you.

win cards

hit one? post it.

Mark a ticket as won in your bet tracker and it makes you a card for X, Telegram or the group chat. Your numbers, your handle, dollars on or off.

The card says it's self-reported, because the tracker holds what you typed in. One good ticket doesn't mean the next one lands.

An example win card: a large profit figure, the pick, the book and the price, with a plumb bob in sunglasses.

Measured, not claimed

Availability means recent data, not complete coverage.

Books with recent data

0of 0 expected

One light per expected book. Lit means recent odds or lines were observed. Some data comes from public publishers and is for comparison only. A source count does not confirm every league or market.

Odds and lines held, by book

Each bar shows available data held for a book. Choose one to see its odds and line counts.

    Questions

    The straight answers.

    What does positive EV mean?

    A bet has positive expected value when the price pays more than our estimate of the true chance is worth. It says nothing about any single result. It's an estimate, and it only pays off over many bets, if it pays off at all.

    Will this make me money?

    We can't promise that, and nobody honestly can. Prices move, books limit accounts, estimates can be wrong and long losing runs are normal. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

    Do you take bets?

    No. We show prices and scores. You place any bet yourself, at a book that's legal where you are.

    Why isn't my book listed as available?

    A book counts as available after recent odds or lines have been observed. The coverage page separates this from confirmed EV use and shows what is still unconfirmed.

    Is any book a partner of yours?

    No. We're independent. No sportsbook, exchange or app licenses, authorises or endorses ZippyOdds.

    Can I use the data in my own product?

    That's what ZippyOddsAPI is for: the same board over REST and a WebSocket stream.
