Bet into a lower edge with BitOdds

Sportsbooks bake a mathematical advantage into the odds that they offer, and this is known as the edge. If you’re betting into a 4% edge, you need to be that much smarter than the bookies if you’re going to be a long-term winner. Cutting this number down as low as possible gives you the best chance of coming out on top.

BitOdds allows you to compare odds from the best crypto sportsbooks and create your own synthetic market and therefore a synthetic edge. By combining the best odds from the best sportsbooks, you cut the house edge down significantly and boost your chances of becoming a long-term winner. Best of all, it’s totally free to use!

As an example, in the 2020/21 Bundesliga season Cloudbet had the lowest edge out of the top crypto sportsbooks, standing at just 2.68%. In comparison, BitOdds’ synthetic edge was 1.29% – a much better deal. If you had bet 1m฿ on each of these selections for the season, you’d notice the difference that the lower edge makes.

Weekend bets to keep an eye on…

Ulsan vs Jeju – Ulsan +0 handicap at odds of 1.66Jeju has drawn 10 of their 18 K-League matches (winning just 4). They’re also on a run of 7 games without a win. They host top-of-the-league Ulsan, who have only lost away from home twice all season (4 wins, 3 draws). The visitors are a big price, but the +0 handicap covers you for a draw, in case Jeju notch an 11th tie of the campaign.

Cincinnati vs New England – New England to win at odds of 2.043With just 1 loss in their opening 7 Major League Soccer (MLS) matches, New England leads the Eastern Conference. They face bottom-of-the-league Cincinnati and are priced near even money. The home team have lost 6 straight home matches in all competitions, not winning since a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew in October. They also have the worst defensive record in the MLS. The price here seems attractive and is worth a look.

Manchester City vs Chelsea – Draw at odds of 3.5Chelsea has lost 3 of their last 4 in all competitions, but still doesn’t concede many goals under Thomas Tuchel (16 in 29 matches). The Londoners have beaten Man City in their last 2 meetings and will be sure to keep a very tight ship in a monumentally important match. Man City are the favorites, and rightly so, but Chelsea has enough about them to slow the game down and grind out a draw. These big finals are always tight and decided by a small margin, so the draw is a good play here.
