Generally speaking, ODDS-R® believes that the more you spread your bets around, including games or plays you really don’t know much about, the more likely you are to be affected by the reality that over time and over all bets, the bookmakers are going to show a profit (and most players are going to lose). So let us help! ODDS-R® usually green-lights only a small number of plays every day to help you “stay the course” on smart betting.

You can but you’re asking for trouble. Anyone can get lucky – even you! – but expecting that to play out over the long term is unrealistic. A particular play is “red” (or “yellow”) because the outcome and/or the odds being offered by the bookmakers doesn’t make ODDS-R®’s threshold of mathematical “value.”

They have over the past two years of testing. However, we are required by rules and common sense to say that past performance is no guarantee of future success. We absolutely believe that ODDS-R®’s green “value plays” will help you do better than you might have otherwise. You always can look up the current ODDS-R® ROI Meter to see how we’ve been doing.

“Prop” bets are in the category of unusual bets offered by a bookmaker that are not the standard win-spread-over/under fare. These come in many forms, from in-game player-versus-player performance to next-play guesses to really absurd things like the length of the national anthem.

Props are designed to look like “fun” but the invisible truth is that you’re often being offered lousy odds on either side of a prop. It’s a high-margin product for the bookmakers that they hope will attract your attention without you thinking it through very much. Most importantly, props are offered in a way that makes smart in-depth analysis (like ODDS-R® provides) virtually impossible. We stay away, and you probably should too.

ODDS-R® currently focuses on the popular betting categories of Spread (get or give points added to the final score), Win / Money Line (just win the game, match or tournament) and Over-Under (total score of the event). We believe these offer the most opportunities to win consistently.

At ODDS-R®, we believe we all owe ourselves, our families and friends a commitment to bet responsibly. That can mean playing within a sensible entertainment budget, and it can also mean playing smart. At ODDS-R® we’re committed to making your sports betting budget last while giving you the best chance to play smart and win.

OBI is your guide and conscience through the world of sports betting, available daily on the app to offer observations and insights on how to play smarter. OBI channels the Roman philosopher Seneca, who defined luck as the point where preparation meets opportunity.

ODDS-R®’s “Watching” collects in one place any teams you’ve tagged as favorites, or any game(s) you want to follow, today or in coming days. So you’re always just one tap away from the action you want to follow first.

The green value plays you see are based on the latest consensus odds offered by the bookmakers. The odds a specific (your) bookmaker is offering may differ. At any point that you’re seeing different odds, or a change in odds, you can tap the scale logo, “dial” the price you’re seeing into LineMaster™ and get an instant read on whether it’s still green (or yellow, or red). You can also see what odds are needed to move a play “into the green.”
