## Transcript

Some offer consistent opportunities where you can find real edges and scale to make some serious money. While others will allow you to profit early on, but then later on will start to cut your profitability down considerably. Today,
I'm ranking the top five most profitable sportsbooks based on availability, you specific markets for each one of those sportsbooks that I love to attack using Odds Jam. Starting at number five, BetMGM. They offer the largest sign-up
BetMGM. They offer the largest sign-up bonus in the industry. $1,500 paid back in bonus bets if your first wager loses. So, that means on your very first bet when you sign up with MGM, you can wager up to $1,500 and if it loses, you'll get
this paid back to you in a bonus bet. So, you get a second chance at this. And while in the beginning of the sports betting era in 2018, 2021, and so on, there used to be a lot of these bonuses offered by sportsbooks. Very few of them
offer this large of a bonus now, which is why BetMGM is the best book when it comes to this specific offer. One of the things that bettors love about BetMGM is that they are consistently soft when it comes to player props. As you can see on
my screen right here, in the middle of baseball season, look at all these edges de-vigging to Pinnacle. We're looking at at least 6% edges if not higher on a ton of Major League Baseball player props. [music] When the NBA and NFL rolls
around, you'll also see player props popping up with very high edges to MGM. When I say soft, I mean that when we look at this Matt Vierling play, all the sports books think that the average price should be plus 138 odds. So, a
$100 wager would pay out $138, but over here on MGM, they're going to pay us out $170 on that $100 wager. You can see that their price compared to the rest of the market just sticks out like a sore thumb
and this is very consistent with MGM where player props is an absolute goldmine to attack them. Outside of player props in MGM, you can find some solid main line markets to attack them on, especially when it comes to the
total points market for NBA or NFL. But by far, you want to focus most of your time on player props. Coming in at number four, Bet 365. And the reason that it's number four on this list is
because it has a massive reach globally. Outside of the United States, Canada, Outside of the United States, Canada, Europe, Bet 365 is the number one book outside of the US. Now, what sets Bet 365 apart from the rest of the books is
their early payout promotions when it comes to betting on the money lines. As Baseball, if you bet a team on the money line and they go up by five runs, it's paid out as an automatic winner. Same thing here with the NBA. Any team that
goes up 20 points or more, if you bet on them to win the game on the money line, you get paid out as a winner. This happens with the NHL and also the NFL where you're receiving insurance on this play. Especially with the NBA. Today's
day and age, 20-point leads go by quickly. So, when you can see that you can get paid out early enough where your team hits a certain threshold, that late game collapse. It just gets paid out as a winner and no other sports book
offers this other than 365. Now, Bet 365 might be the easiest sports book to make money on when it comes to player props, but another market that I love to attack inning. Is there going to be a run scored in the first inning of the
Cardinals-Cubs play, this is an automatic smash where again, all the sports books have this overpriced roughly at minus 103. We're getting this at plus 115. We're getting paid out way more than what we should. Almost a 4%
edge on this play thanks to Odds Jam's plus EV tool. And if you want to try the plus EV tool, arbitrage, traders sharp money with Odds Jam. Use code Billy35. You're going to receive a one-week free trial, and then 35% off your first month
after the one-week trial ends. Coming in at number three in the most profitable sportsbooks, FanDuel. They have the most expansive betting market in the industry, and they do a wonderful job of updating their menu in terms of promos
betting calendar. Now, one major difference between FanDuel and the rest of the sports books is how they handle sharp bettors. This is a cool little trick that you can take a look at on your personal FanDuel account. Come over
market. Look at the over/under on the Braves-Reds. I'm looking at the over nine and a half. I just type in a very large number here. You're going to see that I'm not logged into this sportsbook right now, and the max wager size is
$7,950. I am now currently logged into FanDuel, top. And when I go over to the over nine and a half and type in that what you'll and a half and type in that what you'll notice
The reason that I show you this trick is because this allows you to figure out what percentage of the max that you're allowed to bet. And this is the absolute lowest limits or the harshest restrictions that FanDuel will put on an
account. So, that means if I times the actual number before I was logged in actual number before I was logged in times .1 or 10%, that equals 795. So, I'm on 10% limits on FanDuel, which is again the harshest, most strictest type
terms of being limited. But as you can see, I can still wager $795 on this play. If I go into, let's say, the Pirates and the Twins on their player props, and I come over to batter props, and I'm looking at someone to
maybe hit a home run like Byron Buxton, and I type in a very large number, I can still wager just under $182. So, the key point here is is that once you get limited, this sports book is still very valuable even after the
limits hit you. I can't say the same for the rest of the sports books because sports books, it may be difficult to even get a $10 wager down. Now, when it comes to a market that I've had immense success betting on FanDuel, no doubt
about it, NHL anytime goal scorers. As you can see from the screenshot here, I made over $1,300 throughout the entire NHL season specifically betting anytime goal scorers over at FanDuel. Now, there is a step-by-step tutorial of a video
description below so that you can copy and paste my setup for yourself for next hockey season and make a ton of money. If there's one thing I wished FanDuel did a bit better, faster payouts.
FanDuel, we need it. Every other book on this list provides instant payouts other than FanDuel, and that's one weak spot in why they sit at number three. Coming in at number two is DraftKings, and DraftKings offers everything that
FanDuel does. Daily promos, comprehensive markets, a very wide menu. You can beat DraftKings in a number of different areas, player props, main line markets, but there's two specific things that set DraftKings apart from FanDuel.
DraftKings offers the most generous VIP program in the industry. All you have to do is come over here to DraftKings at the very top, click on VIP, and then you can apply to be a part of the VIP showcase program. Answer some questions
as why you think you should be a VIP. DraftKings will make a decision, and this is how I gained access to a showcase for 4 weeks with unlimited limits come for you on DraftKings, this account is still viable where you can
wager $50 to $100 for pregame, and on live betting, especially with the NBA and the NFL, MLB, you can still wager sometimes up to or if not more than $100. So, because of the VIP program and also that DraftKings pays out instantly,
this is why they edge out FanDuel in the number two spot. Now, let's get ready for our number one sports book that you can make the most money on. It's not even close. Before I unveil the number one most profitable sports book, if
make sure to smash that subscribe button, click that thumbs up button, and tap that bell notification so you don't miss the next video that we release. And the number one most profitable sports book network, Canby. Most people don't
understand that Canby is not actually a sports book. Canby is an odds provider for sports books like Bally Bet, BetRivers, Bet Parks, Desert Diamond, SugarHouse, and plenty others. Depending on the state that you live in, you might
have access to two or three different Canby sports books. Out here in Arizona, I have access to three different books. And the reason that this is amazing is that they all have the same exact odds. So, when I pull over to the EV tool
are right next to each other, which means they all have the same exact odds on Joc Pederson to hit a double tonight. So, the beautiful thing about Canby is sports books that all have the same odds provider, if you get limited or when you
get limited as a sharp sports better on one of these books, it's okay because you have another book sitting on the bench ready to go into the game. Honestly, when it comes to Canby, the only sport that I would not target them
only sport that I would not target them on is soccer. Anything else outside of soccer, go absolutely bonkers for it when you're using a sharp sports betting tool like Odds Jam, player props, money lines, spreads, totals. Consistently
with college basketball, if you ever see a total at 132 and 1/2, they are off on multiple different lines. And that's what makes this book the most profitable markets that you can attack them, but because there's multiple sports book
that we talked about, once you get limited on those books, some are viable, some aren't. But with Can Be, you have backup options. So, there you have it. The top five most profitable sports books: Can Be, DraftKings, FanDuel,
Bet365, and BetMGM. Something that all five of these sports books have in common, they can be beat on player props. In this video popping up on the step-by-step player prop betting process, what I specifically look for in
terms of odds ranges and markets paired up with what books, so that you have a step-by-step formulated strategy, and you know how to attack each book at you know how to attack each book at their weakest points.
