How to Get the Most Out of Edge Finder

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

Each bet listed will look like what you see below:

The details listed are as follows:

• Sport – football or basketball is shown, to show those sports (more sports to come in the future)
• Suitable – the event you are going to bet on
• Market – the betting market you will place, for example Match Odds or Over/Under
• Choice – the specific options you will bet on in that market
• Started – date and time of event
• EV% – expected value % of the bet shown, which effectively corresponds to the long-term value you would take from a £100 bet. For example in the example above (123.08%), the long term value of a £100 bet would result in a profit of £23.08. As long as this number exceeds 100%, the bet has a positive expected value.
• B. Opportunity – odds available with bookmakers
• Risking – your recommended bets are based on your bankroll and Kelly% preferences.
• Bookie – the bookie to place your bet

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

Click ‘Save & Delete’ to save bets in your Profit Tracker and hide them from your Edge Finder results, so your display isn’t cluttered with the bets you’ve placed.

A note on your recommended bet: this is based on the Kelly Criterion, which balances your available funds and your chosen level of risk to produce the optimal bet to grow your bankroll without exposing you to excessive risk. By default, it will be set to 0.25 in your settings.

Above the main results set is an alert feed, which sends you notifications about 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 that come to you. Click an alert to load the bet into your table view, allowing you to assess the bet and place it quickly, before the odds are updated.

For best results, we recommend refreshing the tool regularlyespecially just before you place a bet, to double check whether the EV% is still worth taking. The markets change quickly, especially during busy times, and it is important to ensure that the bets you place remain valuable.

We also strongly advise you to double check the markets you are betting on, especially if you are less familiar with more obscure markets. The Asian Handicap and European Handicap markets are easily confused, for example, and at first glance it is easy to confuse the full-time and part-time markets. A quick check before you confirm your bet can avoid costly mistakes.

Best Time To Use Edge Finder

There isn’t any bad time to use Edge Finder, but it is true that some times will offer more and better opportunities than others.

Like other types of sports betting and value betting, weekends and evenings is the busiest time and therefore offers the greatest opportunities. The market changes rapidly at these times, especially near the start of an event, meaning the likelihood of price differences is higher.

However, that doesn’t mean there are no benefits to be had outside of that time. It’s not unusual to find price differences a few days before a match – although you may still find the best value bet shortly before the start of an event, ideally within hours of kick off.

Because there is so much betting activity before the game, your bets are also less likely to attract the attention of the bookie, meaning you are more likely to keep your account healthy for longer.

That said, there is more than enough flexibility in timings to allow anyone, whatever their schedule, to get tremendous value from Edge Finder, whether they bet strategically and consistently or just place a few good value bets when they have some free time.

Top Tips For Finding Successful Edges

It’s not difficult to learn the basics of using Edge Finder – but there are still some best practices you can implement to ensure you get the most out of it. Follow the tips below to maximize profits while protecting your bookie account:

1. Resist the temptation of high odds

High odds offer higher returns, but have two main disadvantages: higher variance, and the potential for greater bookie oversight. By default, the maximum betting odds displayed in this tool are set to 5.0, as lower odds will keep your results consistent, as well as help you stay under the radar of the bookies.

2. Double check your market

Some of the markets recommended by Edge Finder may seem similar but are actually very different, such as the European and Asian handicap markets. To ensure the EV you see is accurate, always make sure you have double checked the type of bet you are placing before placing it.

3. Refresh regularly

You will find that the market moves quickly and the odds change frequently, especially during busy times, and leading up to events. Make sure to update the software regularly to avoid making decisions based on outdated information, and always immediately before placing a bet, to ensure that the odds and EV you see are still accurate.

4. Use Kelly’s peg recommendations

It is common for people to keep betting the same bets all the time, but this is not the most effective way to bet. Edge Finder has built-in betting recommendations, based on your bankroll and the Kelly percentage you select in your settings. Follow the recommended bets to maximize the bets you place without exposing yourself to excessive risk. A Kelly percentage of 20-25% is a good rate for new users, allowing you to grow your bankroll at a reasonable and steady rate.

5. Spread your bets across different bookies

It may be tempting to stick with a few of your favorite bookies, but you risk attracting unwanted attention if you make too many valuable bets from just a few accounts. Edge Finder integrates with almost 100 bookmakers, and you should take full advantage of it by spreading your bets to as many people as possible. This makes each account healthier and reduces the chance of being scammed.

Follow these tips to get the most out of this tool, maximizing your profits while minimizing risks.
