4.8 out of 5
Welp..

In a app that’s supposed to help you win, I ended up losing more. Why am I getting a play for Jason tatum over 5.5 assists at a A- with 2.1 units, then looking back 20 minutes later to see the same play as an a under??? I’ve lost 200$ in 2 days not including what I payed for the subscription. Not worth it at all. Out of the 7 plays I got from OptimalBet only 1 of them hit, just to give you a percentage. Also, the navigation on OptimalBet is horrendous why is there a play at a A/A- and it’s odds to win are at 27%? How does that make sense?

Don’t pay for this trash service

Don’t pay for it I’m gone tell you how to get a year for free. Make a spare Apple account, add a debit card you don’t use for the payment option, subscribe for free trial then when it runs out they will automatically charge you and and upgrade you to a year service before they receive a payment. Their greed led to a glitch in the system. I got a free year but it’s not even worth it for free but to each its own. They even will say that you’re complaining for getting a free year when you try to tell them they giving it away for free. I used it for a week and had no good plays from it

Missed when it had free options

I’ve used this for over a year for stat projections but now that everything requires a subscription I don’t think it’s worth it anymore

Meh

Love the set up/design but unable to track my bets when OptimalBet does not have all of the games for the day. OptimalBet showed so much promise just to end up disappointing in the end. Hopefully they can figure it out because I’d love to give it another chance

Not for Beginners

I have been a casual bettor for over a year now, and recently learned about positive EV betting. I wanted something cheaper than OddsJam and this is what I found. I’ve been using it for about a week now and I’m some what getting the hang of it. OptimalBet is a little difficult to navigate. I think it needs more filters on the main EV page. EX. needs a “market width” category. There’s obvious improvements that it needs, but for the fraction of the price of OddsJam, I think it does the job. The developers seem to care a lot and are updating it consistently. Hopefully they can find a way to keep the price down and up the quality of OptimalBet . I will most likely continue to use OptimalBet until I build my bankroll, and then switch to OddsJam when I can afford to. But until then this is OptimalBet I prefer. Hope this helps

Wouldn’t pay for premium

Had premium but they discontinued props vs pinnacle, which was the best premium feature. A lot of stuff based on trends but little consideration for matchups doesn’t provide full context. No explanation for which books’ odds are used to calculate the no-vig line. Nice layout and data presentation but still lacking in a few areas that would make it truly useful for being a profitable sports bettor.

Meh

After accidentally paying for the year, I’ve been forcing myself to see it through with OptimalBet. It’s not great but it’s not good either. I’m a big fan of the odds checker because it allows me to find hidden gems throughout sports books, however when it comes to optimizing it doesn’t do such a great job. I play on prize picks often and use the +EV strategy, so when I see Jrue Holiday -145 for A+R throughout most sports books and I’m being edged to take a +100 prop with a 46% hit rate, I get pretty confused.
ALSO they only cover basketball, football, and NHL. I see the slots for MMA, tennis, etc. but there aren’t any plays being posted to OptimalBet . Betting on the NBA is fun but I can’t help but think of all the value we’re missing out on being subjected to such a small slate.

Solid

Easy to use, solid % of picks are hitting so far. I would’ve liked to have been given a warning that the trial was about to end. Still likely to purchase the yearly, we’ll see in a month…

Great but a could use a couple improvements

The place bet button feature is great but for BETMGM it opens the link through safari and doesn’t open OptimalBet . Not sure why it would open OptimalBet for DraftKings and FanDuel but not BETMGM.

My thoughts

App has been great so far. Since I started and trying to understand it definitely been in profit but I also think OptimalBet should give like it’s top 4 picks for the day or top 2 or whatever it is. I think it helps a little on understanding and helps in decision making as well.

Great app, but

I don’t bet much, but OptimalBet would be untouchable if I could build and submit my parlays directly from OptimalBet . Tried to submit a very large parlay today to test out the apps picks but I was a bit late getting the bet in and was able to submit mostly because I had to manually enter all 8 props individually. That parlay had +107xxx odds, each leg hit.
I was only going to put $10 on it (free bet) but that would have translated to just over $1000 win 🥲

Review

This is the first day I have put OptimalBet to use after downloading it last night. I’ve already made some plays and hoping this method will work out for me in the long run. I’ve not had a good experience betting in the past since . I’ve tailed “cappers”, joined discords, tried FadethePolls and all in which I’ve had to pay for and lost more then what I invested. Sports Betting became legal this year for us Ohioans. If I win I’ll sign up and if not it’s on to the next. I like OptimalBet , however I would like to see optimal more organized. All together so far so good.

Best app out there

I’ve had OptimalBet for a few seasons now and must say what started off by just using the graphs they supply you with to now actually using OptimalBet the right way I wish I had done this along time ago. Makes everything so simple even for people like me who are bad at math and numbers.

Excellent App

OptimalBet is amazing and is an excellent app for those looking to get into prop betting. I use OptimalBet in conjunction with another app that runs models for games and it has increased the amount of wins I have betting on props. So far, it has been most profitable with points, assists, and rebound props in the NBA but I look forward to testing OptimalBet during the upcoming MLB and NFL season.

LOVE This App

OptimalBet fits MY personal needs when I sports bet. The shop odds are so helpful as well as the other tools OptimalBet provides…yea OptimalBet has some bad reviews, but it’s honestly because they don’t understand HOW to use it..if you understand shop odds, you WILL make profit. I have won 98% of my bets since using OptimalBet 🔥! As a sports bettor, I recommend OptimalBet, 100%. I’m now making over 100K a year 😎. Thank you Optimal!

Player Props need more customization/filters

I think imma bite the bullet and pay $20 for OptimalBet. The only thing that I can see that would run me away is the fact it’s so hard to navigate player props seamlessly. I would love if they added an option to sort picks by projections rather than hit chance. I also wish there were more to the projections on how they are calculated!

So far so good!

The best features and somehow cheap

Optimal has hands down the best features of any ev app out there and is somehow an order of magnitude cheaper. I’m on the $99 per year plan and made my money back in the first day.

Great app for everyone that understands +EV

Great app for everyone that understands +EV. I would like it to notify me a little better. It tends to push a notification sporadically. Overall, worth the money and you will win in the long run!

It’s Totally Worth It

All I have to say is I have no regrets subscribing to OptimalBet. I’ve been stacking paper like squirrels stack nuts for winter. Once you figure out how to read the lines and understand how the +EV works you’ll make bank every time

Paid for itself/you have to know what you're doing

Gambling involves risk. Duh. OptimalBet is a great tool, especially for something you just have in your pocket. I paid for the subscription and then some the first night using it.

Great EV plays

I always like to find the plays against Pinnacle. I really love OptimalBet. I don’t do MLB bets. I’m excited to see how the NFL and NCAA plays are. Stay away from momentum bets. They have so much potential to improve the data side. Overall it’s so easy to use and has been profitable for me.

Premium is worth it.

Some reviews on here complaining about the cost, but the tools and resources I gained from one week of the optimal+ subscription paid for my entire year ($99) Never using another betting app/website again if it’s not Optimal!

More improvements would make this app amazing

Don’t get me wrong OptimalBet is so great. The update adding more Sportsbook links was good but pointsbet is still buggy and doesn’t load it. Caesars works rarely. A link for Betrivers would be amazing because that Sportsbook is so cancerous to use.

It would be nice if there was a way to organize the bets I am tracking so I don’t have to scroll through dozens and dozens of bets.
All in all, great app.

Worth every penny

OptimalBet has helped me gain a total of 5k from 2 months of using it. Constantly looking to make 3 man parlays and cashes around 85% of the time. If anyone tells you that it’s not worth it, is probably the ones that are trying to find someone to make parlays for them to tail them. Or the same ones that go bankrupt after going all in on a bet just because an app or person told them it’s 100% hit.

This app will make you a winner

Positive EV, line shopping, Kelley Criterion (separate app as well, but it’s baked into “units”), DFS, arbitrage, no vig lines, can’t forget the flamingo… OptimalBet will make you a profitable sports analyst (the squares are the betters). Just bet positive EV, choose the most profitable book, and over time you will increase your bankroll. There’s more expensive options out there, and I still use them time to time, but on the fly, away from your desktop… you cannot do better than this and still thrive! Add direct links to Sportsbooks and middle betting and this would be sheer perfection!!!

Great app

I prefer using OptimalBet just to track player performance because the interface is so fluent. However with the most recent update, the feature to also see a players gamelogs while in the screen for tracking a player prop line, was removed and it was arguably my favorite thing about the interface. I do hope the feature to see gamelogs is added back soon.

I love this app and WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

I love OptimalBet!

Anyway we can get the historical odds information back? Or is this just a me problem?

Love it

Great app I love the arbitrage betting sadly got limited because of it though but the +EV bets are awesome just got into it a few weeks ago it’s amazing how much the line moves when you u catch a good line also very cheap app which I appreciate!!

I never write reviews…. But

OptimalBet is simply amazing!!! Since using it my hit rate has increased significantly this week alone. Very accurate tool and great! Could use a few tweaks and updates just to keep it new and fluent. Other than that if you’re into player props… look no further!!

+++

Great app it shows value in bets if you know where to look!

GREAT APP

If your into sports betting then OptimalBet is a must have if you like to win most of the time

Amazing app

I love OptimalBet and it’s increased my profitably dramatically. I’d love to see a feature where you can compare odds vs BetOnline as BetOnline is a sharp sportsbook.

Parlay Play

I’ve been paying $50 a month for DFG optimizer just to use ParlayPlay lines. It would be very helpful if you add ParlayPlay line please!

MLB in the works?

Just downloaded and was wondering if MLB will be on here with the upcoming season? Really hope so! So far app looks great for some underdog picks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bet +EV is a sports betting tool that doesn’t treat you like a baby. It presents you the data and let’s you make an informed decision instead of just “giving winners”.

So worth it!!!

This is an amazing tool for any level of sports betting! I only hope the exceptional quality behind OptimalBet continues! Thank you for leveling up my game plan 🙏🏻

Fantastic app!!

I’m not one to ever write reviews but this one deserves it. The UI is very intuitive and my hit rate has gone up quite a bit since using OptimalBet with all the positive EV opportunities they provide. Such a great app! 💪🏻

Probably the best sports betting handicap out there

I never write reviews for apps but this one is just too helpful to not, not only has it helped me identify player props that have high value but also in game odds

Highly highly recommend

This is great for a novice and advanced sports gamblers. Very very easy to use with a beautiful and comes loaded with tons of actionable bets to increase expected value of yours.

Download and win some money!

Loving this app! It will probably blow up soon with +EV becoming popular

OptimalBet is super easy to use and customer service has blown me away with quick responses! They offer 4 sports at the moment so I will eagerly await college sports but for now I’m enjoying the ride! 🙌🏽

Great app!!

Love OptimalBet so far! Great information and love all the different models you can use. Only issue I found is, it will not track the units you bet for bets. I did reach out to the developer and they told me that’s on the list for updates. Hopefully they will add more sports down the road.

Thank You

I took a chance and OptimalBet didn’t fail. In the game we play, loses are bound to happen. Optimal makes sure it’s a rarity. Up to you to still choose accordingly. But overall, layout couldn’t be better. I wish they had an for life option.
