The important ways to determine odds is taking all possible step towards every team that you're going to bet with.
Gather all data on every game results in order to find out a preferred analysis, then tabulate them all to have definite prospects.
Always make sure you're a good fan of that sports game, because that's a good formula in achieving your decision making and could help you finding best odds.

This is pretty much free money for the taking, and potentially presents arbitrage opportunities if the odd differences are large enough.

The key though is to ensure that the outcomes are precisely the same (i.e., logically equivalent), and the difference in odds is not accounted for by some discrepancy in probabilities.

I also wonder if there can be an algorithm devised in order to spot out these differences. That would prove to be very profitable indeed.

I think it depends on the trust of the team sometimes even in sports and e-sports betting people see the odds if some of them see the lower odd they make a bet on this because this is the possible winner but this is the common mistakes because other than that knowledge is the most essential tool we mus thave, getting research and possible watch those previous games of the team you would like to bet is good you have an idea if they are capable to win against their opponents. As you know there are people who wage to the underdogs because they know the potential of these teams and see what happens double, triple...nth their profit.

It's discussed often enough in the different bookmaker threads you'll find here, and it depends largely on the odds provider which markets have an edge over others. The bookie I use for the majority of bets, for example, offer slightly better odds on Asian handicaps, but you're right, you often find huge discrepancies on what I call "exotic markets" like No 1st Goal instead of 0-0. It's probably because they're less popular markets so the odds don't shift as much as the volumes come in.

Also on correct scores or goals the "all other results" markets can be a lot more value than 8+ goals, for example. Not that I ever take those odds, but yeah, it's always good to spend a few extra minutes shopping around for value.

Odds given by a match depends on how the house edge handles winrate. For instance for some the odds can be slightly higher in other platforms from what i've experienced. Your technique is doable but this type of bets can be risky according to the photo shown above. What site are you betting on, by the way?
Exactly, the only way that I can think that you can get a best odds is when you are playing arbitrage and you are playing at multiple sports betting websites. I am not really playing a lot of sports bet so I am just saying what I have seen in this forum and what my friends advice my other gambling friends when it comes to sports betting.

In football, the same thing happens between handicap markets and DNB or 1x2.





This doesn't always happen on esports lines but when you're betting on handicaps make sure to check the correct scores as well.



I remember pmalek had a similar thread about sportsbooks offering different odds on each market while having the same expected outcome.

There are comparison shopping websites that list odds different books offer for the same sporting event.

I like Bestfightodds for mixed martial arts as it also lists prop bets and charts for line movement.

In the final analysis, I think the profit potential for sports betting is so astronomically high, it doesn't make sense to chase a few extra percentage points across books.

I mostly compare the odds from one bookie to the other, that's where I know what bookie offers the best odds.

For the odds offered in one site and no comparison, I think that doesn't make sense for me.
They can offer a lot of odds but that odds have different win percentage and some are not really necessary since mostly its just a trap, too attractive but we sometimes fail to analyze our chance.

I was surprised to see the discrepancy in odds and I wanted to share with you some ways of how you can avoid poor odds and get the best value for your bets.

Getting the best odds on the same outcome

I have seen at times that multiple markets are identical but odds are different. I will share a few examples to explain it better.

1- TENNIS



You can see Sebastian Korda has won 4 games already and Karatsev trails by 1 game. The minimum games possible in the 1st set hence becomes 9

If you bet on total games under 9.5 you can get 4.00 odds while if you bet on Korda to win 6-3 which is again the same bet but different market, you only get 3.75 odds

You can see below



Conclusion: Go for total games instead of the correct score to get the best odds. There are a lot of combinations like that, check for the best odds and then make your bets.


2- SOCCER

Betting on the correct score gives you 7.25 odds but betting on no 1st goal gets you 10.5 odds which is a significant difference.



Conclusion: Go for totals or goals market instead of correct scores.

Please share other instances you have seen where the outcome is the same but odds are different.
