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.

In 2016, I worked on my first client to help write a white paper for a crypto and blockchain project they were building, and started delving deeper into blockchain and distributed ledger technology.
