"Delivers on the three sports but padded with self-promotion and a generic 'subscribe' ask; still, the strategies are concrete."

AI Summary

The video reveals three sports where the creator claims FanDuel is consistently beatable: soccer (specifically the World Cup), college basketball, and NHL anytime goal scorers. It provides specific strategies, tools, and setups for each, emphasizing the use of sharp sportsbooks like Pinnacle for line comparison and the OddJam's plus EV tool. The creator explains why they avoid NFL and NBA, arguing that sportsbooks focus their resources on these popular leagues, leaving smaller markets with softer lines.

[00:14]
Why Not NFL or NBA

The creator refuses to share NFL or NBA strategies because sportsbooks devote most resources to these popular leagues, making them harder to beat. Instead, focus on smaller sports where books pay less attention.

[00:28]
World Cup Soccer Strategy

Use Pinnacle as a sharp sportsbook reference. For example, Pinnacle takes $200,000 on Australia vs Egypt moneyline, while BetOnline takes $10,000. Use OddJam's plus EV tool with Pinnacle as the DVIG book, method 'power' or 'worst case', and markets 'main' and 'alternate'.

[01:38]
Finding Plus EV Plays

In OddJam, search 'World' to find World Cup markets. A top play example: 'both teams to score' with over 2% edge at FanDuel +120. Pinnacle's price is +107, indicating an edge.

[02:07]
Using Profit Boosts

Apply a 30% profit boost on FanDuel to increase the edge. For a $10 max wager, the boost can turn a 2% EV into an 18% edge if odds are +156. Use the bet tracker to log the play.

[03:03]
Live Betting on World Cup

Live betting has yielded over $500 profit. In live mode, set a higher EV threshold (5% or more) because lines move quickly and you need a safety net.

[03:40]
College Basketball Domination

Made over $1,500 with a 20% ROI betting college hoops. Use main markets and alternate markets like first half totals and money lines. Use a custom EV formula blending Pinnacle, Circa, and Bookmaker, requiring at least two of three books to agree on an edge.

[05:15]
Odds Range for College Hoops

Focus on odds between -200 and +150. Edges are typically 1-2% when multiple sharp books agree, so don't expect large edges.

[05:45]
NHL Anytime Goal Scorers

Made over $1,300 with a 12% ROI betting on 'yes' for anytime goal scorers. Always bet 'yes', never unders. A dedicated video explains the filter process.

[06:11]
Total Profit and Rationale

Total profit across the three sports is over $4,000. The key is to target sports where FanDuel spends less time, like college basketball on a Thursday night, because traders focus on NFL and NBA.

The video's core message is that beating FanDuel requires targeting less popular sports where sportsbooks allocate fewer resources, leading to softer lines. By using sharp sportsbook comparisons and plus EV tools, bettors can find edges in soccer, college basketball, and NHL goal scorers.

[00:01] America. And most people are getting absolutely crushed on it. But I found three specific sports where FanDuel is consistently beatable. And in this complete setup for each one so you can [music] copy and paste it and start

[00:14] reason that I'm not going to share with you any NFL or NBA strategies on how to beat FanDuel. And I'm going to explain why later on in the video. The first sport and right now the most timely that I've had very consistent profits beating

[00:28] FanDuel is in soccer, specifically the World Cup. And while it's going on right setup. And the number one sports book that we want to use as our sharp sports book or our tour guide is Pinnacle. As you can see right here, I'm looking at

[00:42] Australia versus Egypt on the money line. This is absolutely incredible. Pinnacle is taking $200,000 on Australia draw or Egypt when it comes to the moneyline plays. Another sharp sports book in the sports betting space

[00:57] that we deem is very accurate with their pricing is bet online. They're taking pricing is bet online. They're taking $10,000 across all three markets where Pinnacle's taking $200,000. If we scroll down just a touch and look

[01:10] at the overunder on goals, you can see Pinnacle's taking 200,000 on the over or 200,000 on the under, while Bet Online's taking 5,000 and 6,300. My favorite tool to use when it comes to betting on the World Cup is OddJam's plus EV tool. I'm

[01:24] Fandal. I'm going to come over to the DVIG settings and select Pinnacle as my DVIG book. And then for my method, I like to use power or worst case. Either is fine. For my markets, it's main markets and alternate markets. And then

[01:38] finally for league up here in the search box, you can just simply type in World as you can see, we have a couple of different options. And our top play right here, both teams to score and over 2% edge over at FanDal Plus 120. So we

[01:53] need Australia and Egypt to score in the match. You can see the Pinnacle's taking $10,000 on this market right now. They think the yes or for both teams to score should be a plus 107. we can find a great play with an edge and get this

[02:07] down over at FanDuel. Over here on FanDuel, I have a 30% profit boost on perfect. I'm going to take that boost and put it on top of both teams to score and make our 2% EV edge even higher. I find this play on the popular tag. Click

[02:22] yes. And then I can slap my 30% profit boost on top of this. Now, I am limited to a $10 max wager size, but still the reason that I want to do this is when we click on the calculator. What you're going to notice is if I can get this at

[02:36] going to notice is if I can get this at plus 156 odds, this has almost 18% edge on this play. So, we just come back over to Fandal and I lock in my boost. And use a boost. Find a play that has plus EV, put the boost on top of it, and now

[02:49] it has insane edge. Again, with Odds Jam, the bet tracker is completely free. I click on the plus sign right here. I tag odds boost. I change the odds to 156 and my $10 max wager. Now everything's tracked in one convenient location for

[03:03] me. Outside of pre-match betting for the World Cup attacking FanDuel, live betting has went very well, albeit a small sample size. I've made over $500 going after Fandal. And so, let me show you exactly what we have to do when it

[03:15] comes to live betting and attacking Fandal. Once the matches are underway, plus EV tool. And as you notice, we're on pre-match. just come over here to live. Now, the only thing that I like to change when it comes to live is in my

[03:28] filter setup. When it comes to the EV percentage that I want to take, I would like anything that has a 5% edge or higher. Remember, when the match is going on live, things are moving very quickly, and so we're going to have some

[03:40] time, and I would like to have a safety net of 5% or more. The second sport that I've dominated Fandal on consistently, and most people completely overlook this, college basketball. I've made over $1,500 over at FanDuel Betting College

[03:54] $1,500 over at FanDuel Betting College Hoops. That's a 20% ROI. There's so many teams, so many games, too much going on in to add on to it, the transfer portal. It's never been crazier than it's been the last couple of years with so many

[04:07] let's go through my exact setup here when it comes to dominating FanDuel on college hoops. Similar to the World Cup, I like to focus on main markets and basketball. For my alternate markets, it's really just first half total

[04:20] then first half money lines. Naturally, my DVIG settings. Again, power or worst case is fine, but this is where I love to use the custom EV formula builder. I like to take Pinnacle, Circa, and

[04:35] Bookmaker have a blend of the three books together. And my setup is 50%. I like to see at least two of the three sports books matched together. So currently as of recording we're not in college basketball season but when I can

[04:50] see a pinnacle circa pinnacle bookmaker or circa bookmaker line up together two of those three books that shows some type of edge I love then attacking those plays. That's why I don't have a percentage setup because we need two

[05:03] sports books to agree on an edge. It's going to be a little bit harder to find going to be a little bit harder to find 6 7 8% edges with those books. So you're normally going to see a 1 to 2% EV agreement with those books. And then

[05:15] also my minimum maximum odds. This is just your personal take on your risk 400s or do you like to stick to like minus 200s? A really common area that I like to kind of stick and focus my attention to is a minus 200 to a plus

[05:31] 150 odds range. If you're finding value in the content thus far, do me a favor, thumbs up button, and make sure you tap that bell notification so you don't miss the next video that we release. The final sport that I've dominated FanDuel

[05:45] on specifically last year was NHL Anytime Goal scores. And I made a dedicated video walking through step by step the exact filter process. And description below. It's going to tell you exactly how I've dominated FanDuel

[05:59] you exactly how I've dominated FanDuel making over $1,300, a 12% ROI betting on yes goal scores. When we're betting on goal scores here, it's always yes. I don't bet any unders at all. So there you have it. those three sports, I've

[06:11] made over $4,000 in profit. But you've noticed I didn't talk about the NFL or the NBA. You can be Fandal in a lot of different areas when it comes to maybe European basketball or NBA player props, but think about a Thursday night in

[06:25] November. We got the Commanders and the Giants going on. Maybe we got the Knicks and the Celtics. And then we got like Robert Morris and Youngstown State. Out think FanDuel's spending the least amount of time focusing on a specific

[06:39] sport? Yeah, it's college basketball. If I'm a manager at FanDuel that manages the entire trading team, the trading team are real human beings that sit down they're very accurate. They're trading, making sure there's no issues. If

[06:53] game, then they have to make a manual adjustment. Well, where do you think most of the action on a Thursday night in November is going down on? Is it going on that Robert Morris basketball game, or is it maybe happening on the

[07:05] Knicks and the Celtics or the Commanders and the Giants? You see, this is where you can beat sports books, not just FanDuel, and some smaller sports or leagues where most of their time and attention isn't being paid to a specific

[07:18] sport. They're focused on the NFL and the NBA. Why? It's the most popular in America. As a sports book, you only have so many people and resources that you can devote to what's going on in a certain evening. So, most of the traders

[07:30] NFL. You'll have a couple that maybe take a look at the college basketball slate, NHL, some other leagues as well. But the ones where the sports books aren't paying as much attention to, that's where they can normally be beat.

[07:43] attention, especially when it comes to live betting, that's where you can make a boatload of cash. Outside of Fandal, the prediction markets have been absolutely exploding. And one of my colleagues, Dustin, copied professional

[07:55] traders on Cowshi for one week. And if you want to see his results and his strategy behind it, then click this video on the
