Understanding the Edge
Being a sharp bettor means finding that needle in a haystack—plays that aren’t on everyone’s radar. Other software might give you a list of plays, but that’s like using a dull butter knife. We want to be sharp, to find edges that others miss. The goal is to be the first to market and to connect the dots that others overlook.
Starting Your Journey
Let’s start by setting up your accounts. You should have at least a few sportsbooks to work with. For example, let’s create a book set called “Starting Out” with four accounts: Bet365, Bet Rivers, DraftKings, and FanDuel. Having multiple accounts gives you the flexibility to find the best lines and maximize your betting opportunities.
Creating Your Hypothesis
Next, think about what your hypothesis is. This is crucial. A good hypothesis could be that FanDuel is sharp on player props. This season, the NBA has been tricky, and many believe that FanDuel has figured it out. By using this hypothesis, we can create a strategy that leverages these insights.

Setting Up Your Weighting
After establishing your hypothesis, it’s time to create a weighting set. Let’s call it “Fanball NBA.” Here, you can assign points to the sportsbooks based on your trust in their sharpness. For instance, assign 10 points each to BetOnline and FanDuel, as these are the sharp books we want to focus on.
Refining Your Strategy
Once you have your hypothesis and weightings set, it’s time to filter your search. Start broad, and then whittle it down. For NBA player props, you’ll want to apply filters to narrow down your results. Initially, we might get a lot of plays, but we want to focus on the most compelling opportunities.
Analyzing the Plays
Now, let’s get into the details. Once you have your search results, you’ll want to examine each play closely. Look for outliers and see how they compare across different sportsbooks. For example, if DraftKings has a significant deviation from BetOnline and FanDuel, that could indicate a valuable opportunity.

Documenting Your Strategy
As you develop your strategies, it’s essential to document everything. Keep track of your hypotheses, strategies, and the results of your bets. This will help you refine your approach over time. Remember, sports betting is complex and evolving. You want to be adaptable.
Testing and Learning
Don’t be afraid to test your strategies with small bets or even paper trade to gather data without risking too much money. Analyze the outcomes and adjust your strategies accordingly. This is how you’ll learn what works and what doesn’t.
