"The title promises a pro strategy, and the video delivers a specific, actionable method, though it's essentially a long ad for OddsJam."

AI Summary

This video presents an advanced sports betting strategy that combines the positive expected value (+EV) opportunities found on soft sportsbooks with the unlimited liquidity of betting exchanges. The core idea is to use soft books as a research tool to identify edges, then 'make' markets on exchanges to avoid getting limited and secure better prices. The strategy is demonstrated using OddsJam and Novig, with a focus on player props.

[00:41]
Soft Books as Research Tools

The strategy uses soft sportsbooks (BetMGM, Fanatics, Hard Rock) as a research tool to find +EV opportunities, which most bettors ignore because of low limits.

[00:54]
Setting Up OddsJam

To implement the strategy, you need to set up OddsJam by excluding certain books, changing location to Arizona, and filtering for specific sportsbooks and odds ranges.

[02:59]
Making Markets on Exchanges

The key is to 'make' a market on an exchange (like Novig) rather than just 'taking' available liquidity. This allows you to set your own price and wager size, and if the order isn't filled, your money is refunded.

[04:30]
The Complete Strategy

The complete strategy involves finding a +EV play on a soft book, then offering the opposite side of that bet on an exchange at a competitive price to attract a taker, securing a better price and larger wager size.

[07:15]
Unlimited Action

This approach solves the problem of getting limited by sportsbooks, allowing for unlimited action on the same edges month after month.

[00:01] that you can get the same high edge plays that BetMGM and Hard Rock offer, but without ever getting limited? Most betters think that exchanges and place to bet. But they're missing out on the most powerful feature that separates

[00:14] pros from amateurs. Today, I'm going to show you how you can create your own market prices on exchanges and prediction markets, essentially becoming against it. This isn't some basic tutorial. This is the advanced strategy

[00:27] playbook that Smart Money uses to make consistent profits while flying under video, you'll know exactly how to turn softbook edges into unlimited profit potential on exchanges. This strategy starts with something that every odd jam

[00:41] completely ignore it. We're going to use the soft sports books as our research tool, but there's a twist that completely changes everything. Let me show you how to identify these golden opportunities using OddJam's positive EV

[00:54] strategy, we have to set things up properly. And over here on OddsJam, you want to come over here at the top and go to profile. Once you're in profile, come over to excluded books. There's three sports books that we want to focus on

[01:08] when we're using this strategy. One of the sports books isn't as available in So, just come over here and type in Hard Rock. And the first thing that we want see over here that Hard Rock, we want to make sure that there isn't a check mark.

[01:24] thing. If there is a check mark, go ahead and click this book. We want to make sure that Bet MGM Fanatics [music] and Hard Rock do not have this check mark on our excluded books. Once you have all of those books unchecked, make

[01:39] sure to click save [music] changes. And then we're going to hop over to the EV tool. Next, we want to change our location to Arizona. This is one of the few states that offers all three sports books where you can implement this

[01:52] right hand corner, click the drop down and just select Arizona. Next, open up your filters and just go ahead and select Fanatics, Ben MGM, and Hard Rock as our sports books. I'm going to go

[02:04] as our sports books. I'm going to go after a range of minus 150 to + 125. Slightly better or worse than a flip of a coin. I'm just devigging to pinnacle and using worst case. Feel free if you want to use power as well. Power or

[02:16] worst case is a great feature to use for your devig method. The date range is for today and I'm going after main markets and player props. Attacking BMGM sports books that are known as soft sports books in [music] the industry,

[02:31] to sharp books like Circa or Pinnacle. The mistake that's made by most users that use a software is they completely ignore these plays on hard rock fanatics and MGM because they can only get down $5. And that's where the real golden

[02:45] opportunity lies. Here's where it gets interesting. Most betterers that are are doing it completely wrong. They're only using the take function, but feature. Let me show you the difference between taking liquidity and making

[02:59] liquidity and why this changes everything. Here's what mosters only see when they're using Novig or Profit X. They come over to the OddJam Plus EV tool. They see an awesome opportunity on the over on Joel Embiid on his rebounds

[03:12] over at Novig, but there's only $22 available. They see the take option highlighted right here and they think this is the only way to bet. There's only $22.50, Billy. So, I literally can only place a

[03:25] wager for this size. I have to wait for more liquidity to be added to this exact price in order for me to bet more. But look what happens when I click the make button. Now, this allows me to create whatever price I want and I become the

[03:38] house. So maybe I want to get this order filled at plus11 odds and I want to wager $400. Well, as you could see here, if I'm offering this at plus 111, I want

[03:50] the over 8 1/2. I'm going to offer the under 8 1/2 at minus 111 odds. But I can literally secure a better price and offer a much larger wager size that fits my bankroll or my appetite. And here's the best part. When you make a market,

[04:03] just receive your money back. So there's literally no downside. And this is the part that gets often lost by most bettors. This flips the script. I don't have to worry about getting limited by a sports book now because now I have an

[04:16] exchange that has no limits at all that I can bet into any price at any market that's available. So here's where the strategy becomes truly powerful. We're the soft sports books and pair it with the unlimited action from the exchanges.

[04:30] This is the part that separates this strategy from everything else you've seen. Here's the complete strategy. Over here on Odd Jam's Plus EV tool, we see an incredible opportunity on Jordan Cyro to have one point or more in the hockey

[04:42] betterers completely ignore this play cuz it's on fanatics and they're limited to $5. So, they don't feel it's worth their time. And that's their mistake. When we open this play up, what I'm paying attention to is the under because

[04:55] remember, we're going to go ahead and create this market on one of the certain price, we have to offer the opposite side. The lowest price right opposite side. The lowest price right now on Pinnacle is minus 103. So what I

[05:08] can go ahead and do on no vig is just come over to the make section on Jordan Cyro. Maybe I want this at plus 102 odds, which means I'm offering this under at minus 102. Here's why that's so important. Number one, getting this play

[05:24] at plus 102 odds is still an over 6% EV edge play. But number two, offering this under at minus 102 is now going to populate as the best price on the under over at odds jam. I want this to be

[05:39] tantalizing for somebody else that hasn't watched this video and isn't paying attention to this strategy. I want to offer the best price on the under. I don't want to blend in with the crowd. I want to offer the best. I could

[05:51] go ahead and try to create a price at plus 110 or plus 115. Remember, I have to offer the other side of that, which would be minus 110 or minus 115. So, I want to try to get this order filled. So, all I'm going to do is just take a

[06:06] slightly worse price. It's still over a 6% EV edge play. Now, on this calculator, if I type in 102, it's going to tell me exactly how much I should be I'm going to go ahead and do. Type in $350.

[06:20] Going ahead to offer this play on Kyu over at Novig. Again, if this order over at Novig. Again, if this order doesn't get filled at all, my $350 is refunded to me. But I'm offering a very competitive price or the best price on

[06:34] the under and I'm receiving an incredible price on the over. As soon as I offer that order, you can now see over here on no vig that my price is the best price on the market to bet the under. I go ahead and add this to my bet tracker

[06:48] and I just simply change this to no vig at plus 102 for $350. If you want to try Odds Jam 1 for free to implement this strategy and test it out yourself, use code Billy35. It'll be linked in the description below. You'll
