General

No. You don’t need to place every bet to see good returns.

Each user places as many bets as they can

However, remember:

  • More Value Bets = Better Results
    With a positive expected value (+EV) method, increasing your number of bets reduces variance and accelerates your path to long-term profitability.

No. WinnerOdds uses Neural Networks (AI) optimized to deliver the best possible results with controlled risk. You don’t have to make any strategic decisions yourself.

We provide the profitable bet – WinnerOdds tells you which game to bet on and the Minimum Profitable Odds (MPO) to never bet under.

Identify the best opportunity in the market – Go to the bookmaker offering the highest odds above the MPO.

Bet the recommended stake – WinnerOdds calculates the exact stake you should place based on multiple criteria.

It’s that simple.

Odds are dynamic—they rise and fall frequently. When a bookmaker offers odds with a significant profit margin, other bettors may rush in, prompting the bookmaker to lower those odds.

  • Live odds updates
    WinnerOdds refreshes odds every few minutes so you can always see the current best offer in the market.
  • Below the MPO? Skip!
    If the odds fall below the Minimum Profitable Odds, simply avoid that bet (or wait to see if the odds rebound at another bookmaker).
  • Red means no bet
    Odds that have dropped under the MPO will appear in red as a reminder not to bet.

 

Betting below the MPO forfeits your advantage over the bookmakers, so don’t shoot yourself in the foot and follow the system’s rules.

We use our custom modified Kelly Criterion, a mathematical formula that adjusts your stake based on how much value we find in a bet.

WinnerOdds determines the stake so that if you win, your profit aligns with the bet’s estimated value, and if you lose, your loss is relative to your bankroll.

In short, you wager depends on both your bankroll and the specific profitability of each bet, so the stake is always tailored to your current situation.

When betting, you should approach it as though your entire bankroll is at risk.

However, WinnerOdds calculates that the probability of losing over 50% of your bankroll is extremely low—roughly 0.1%. That’s about as likely as flipping 10 consecutive heads.

At WinnerOdds, we identify profitable bets starting from 1.083 odds. Every bet we display is considered profitable because we’re not simply predicting a match winner—we’re calculating each player’s probability of winning.

WinnerOdds reveals which bookmakers’ odds represent a profitable long-term investment. You can see this in the “hit rate” graph in our betting histories, which compare our success rate per odds range against the minimum hit rate required to make a profit in that range.

  • Example 1: For odds between 1.083 and 1.2, you need to win about 88 out of 100 bets to profit. WinnerOdds achieves ~92 wins every 100 in that range.
  • Example 2: For odds between 2.5 and 3.0, you need to win about 37 out of 100 bets to profit. WinnerOdds achieves ~47 wins every 100 in that range.

 

That’s why it’s vital not to abandon any odds range after a couple of losses. By systematically investing in these value bets, you’ll achieve long-term profit regardless of the odds range.

Users place around 9 bets per day on average, but the number changes depending on the sport.

The time taken per bet can also vary slightly depending on the bookmaker and your routine, but considering that WinnerOdds:

  • Updates the bookmakers’ odds for you
  • Displays the each bet’s Minium Profitable Odds
  • Automatically calculates your stake

 

This efficiency means each bet usually takes under a minute, so the total monthly time commitment is very manageable.

We don’t use an external verification service because there’s currently no automated platform that can handle the 600+ picks per month that WinnerOdds generates.

On our full betting history page, you can download a .csv file containing every single WinnerOdds bet since day one—March 2016.

If you doubt the .csv data, you can verify it yourself on platforms like Oddsportal, where the market fluctuations caused by WinnerOdds users are recorded in detail.

Additionally, WinnerOdds isn’t an anonymous Telegram or Twitter tipster; we are a legally registered limited liability company in Spain (SL), operating under EU and Spanish regulations. If a problem arises, you can find all necessary data in our legal notice.

If this still doesn’t earn your trust, we’re sorry—there’s no more we can do. We’ve always operated to achieve maximum transparency.

Yes, but not specifically because you’re using WinnerOdds—they limit you because you’re winning.

Almost every bookmaker imposes limits on profitable bettors (some quicker than others). The moment you start making money—whether through WinnerOdds or another method—you’ll encounter this. However, you can often delay or minimize those restrictions:

  • Diversify your bets among as many different bookmakers as possible, so your earnings are spread out, and you’re not immediately identified as a recurring winner.
  • Having more bookmaker accounts also increases the volume of bets you can aspire to, letting you choose the best odds at a given time.
  • Remember: More bookmakers = fewer restrictions and higher profits over the long run.

Platform

If you’re asking this question, you’re in the wrong place. The place you’re looking for likely doesn’t exist.

If you want a quick fortune, sports betting isn’t where you should be looking.

We suggest learning about the basics of value betting and returning here when you’re ready to approach betting realistically and from the side of statistics.

The MPO refer to the lowest odds at which WinnerOdds has identified a profitable bet.

We may occasionally also use the term “No bet under”.

In other words, never bet below the Minimum Profitable Odds, as you’ll be giving up your advantage against the market.

That’s right.

We update bookmaker odds every few minutes, automatically showing profitable odds in green—and switching them to red if they drop below the MPO.

This way, you don’t have to manually check each bookmaker to see if you have access to a profitable bet.

By default, email notifications are active using the address you registered with. However, we highly recommend setting up Telegram notifications for faster, more convenient alerts. The difference between users who use email notifications and those who use Telegram is very significant.

Alternatively, if you’d like to customize your notifications and set filters, you can download our iOS/Android notifications app, which you’ll find in the “Notifications” menu of your account.

Bookmakers can adopt different rules for determining a winner or voiding a match. When a player withdraws from a tennis match, policies may hinge on the current point winner, game, set, match, or void the game altogether. Consequently, your bet result can vary depending on which bookmaker you used.

WinnerOdds maintains information on how our 100+ monitored bookmakers settle bets. However, we’re unaware of the specific policies for unmonitored bookmakers. If you log a bet at an unmonitored bookmaker and its policy differs from the result shown in your WinnerOdds tracker, you can edit the bet and apply the correct outcome for accurate tracking.

You can also use the edit bet feature to delete incorrectly logged bets. This feature will only be available during the 48 hours after the end of a match, primarily in case of logging mistakes or if your bookmaker retroactively changes things on you. Abusing this feature may lead to its removal to protect our historical records. For more information, please refer to our edit bet documentation.

No, WinnerOdds is not a bookmaker.

WinnerOdds is a system that identifies profitable odds in the sports betting market.

We provide information about profitable bets, and you use that information to wager your money at any regulated bookmaker or betting site, under your own responsibility.

Note: To bet online, you’ll need a bankroll deposited across your chosen bookmakers. If you’re unsure how sports betting works, we recommend doing more research before using our system. For details, see our Legal Notice and Terms & Conditions.

We strongly recommend using as many bookmakers as possible—right from the start:

  1. Spreading bets across multiple bookmakers avoids drawing attention by winning too much at just one site.
  2. Bookmakers dislike short-term, high-volume winners and often impose harsh limits on them. By distributing your bets, you slow down potential limitations.
  3. Having multiple accounts lets you always choose the best odds for each bet, significantly increasing your potential profit and reducing risk.

Your bankroll is the total amount of money you allocate to betting with our system.

WinnerOdds works with any bankroll size, but we suggest an initial bankroll of at least €1,000 for three main reasons:

  1. Starting with €1,000+ usually yields enough returns to grow your bankroll and still cover the monthly subscription.
  2. A larger bankroll means greater winnings, proportionally reducing the subscription cost.
  3. More funds let you place a sufficient number of bets without running out of money, and they make the entire process more time-effective.

 

Remember: the bigger your bankroll, the better your potential results—and the more easily you’ll absorb the cost of the service.

Please understand that while our minimum recommended bankroll is €1,000, we strongly advice starting with €3,000-5000 instead to make the most of WinnerOdds and your betting accounts.

If you can place the full recommended stake at the bookmaker offering the highest odds, that bet will be fully “totalized” and move to the “Totalized” section to reduce clutter. However, this isn’t always possible.

Because of bookmaker limits or market restrictions, you may be unable to wager the entire recommended stake at once. When this happens:

  1. Bet the portion of the recommended stake that you can at the highest odds.
  2. Move to the bookmaker with the next-best odds, where WinnerOdds will have automatically updated the remaining recommended stake.
  3. Repeat as needed until the event has been successfully totalized.

Subscription

Yes.

You may cancel whenever you like, and you’ll retain full access to WinnerOdds until your subscription period ends.

Cancelling your WinnerOdds subscription is simple:

  1. Go to Menu > My Subscription.
  2. Click “Cancel” and confirm your choice.

 

If any trouble comes up, contact us, and we’ll assist you right away.

No. Subscriptions are billed on a monthly basis. After cancelling, you can still use WinnerOdds until the end of your billing cycle, and we won’t issue refunds for any leftover days.

You can subscribe for a full month or opt for a cost-effective 6-month plan. The decision to renew is entirely yours.

No. Each user needs their own account to use WinnerOdds.

Sharing accounts violates our Terms and Conditions and will lead to permanent closure of the account.

As outlined in our T&C, we monitor account activity to detect any fraudulent use. However, if you’re the sole owner of your account, you’re free to access WinnerOdds from multiple devices.

You’re free to subscribe to WinnerOdds Tennis at any time. If you select the monthly plan, your subscription will run until the same date of the following month.

If you’re interested in WinnerOdds Football, please join our waiting list and wait for new spots to open—this typically occurs on a monthly basis.

WinnerOdds does not issue refunds except in cases of technical errors with our platform or payment provider. If you experience any such issue, please contact us using our contact form.

No. We discontinued free trials because they were frequently misused and tended to attract people who lacked the commitment WinnerOdds requires.

If you’d like to test the waters, we encourage you to explore our comprehensive documentation to understand how WinnerOdds works, what to expect, and how to maximize its benefits. You can also join our Discord server to chat with veteran users who have firsthand experience.

WinnerOdds is a long-term service, focused on spotting value bets that generate profits over extended periods. A short trial doesn’t provide a fair assessment of our platform’s effectiveness, which is why we offer transparent historical records on our tennis and football pages—showcasing average user performance since 2016 and 2021 respectively.

Usage

WinnerOdds continuously updates event results and applies them to your logged bets—whether they were won, lost, or voided. In rare instances, the information might appear incorrect in your tracker. However, in nearly all cases, it will automatically correct itself.

If you notice a mistake with a settled bet, please wait 72 hours before reporting it.

International matches aren’t offered at every bookmaker. Use their site’s search function to find the match, and ensure they offer the relevant competition.

In some cases, they might’ve removed the market once cash started flowing in, or the match might’ve already started, transitioning from the list of upcoming matches to the live section.

We recommend checking for bets at least 4–5 times a day, letting you place about 30–40% of all available picks. If you check every two hours (excluding sleep), you will be able to place a good number of bets.

Be sure to activate new bet notifications under My Account → Notifications to make the most of your time and secure the best odds before they drop. This way, you’ll only need to refresh the page when new bets become available, and you won’t miss opportunities before their value decreases.

Users who enable Telegram or mobile app notifications perform significantly better than those who just check manually without leveraging alerts.

A match disappears once it has finished. Before that, when the match starts, it moves to the “Live” section.

When bookmakers adjust the odds for a bet, removing its value, WinnerOdds moves it to the “red bets” section.

Yes, but keep in mind we monitor account activity to prevent fraud, such as sharing your account—doing so is strictly prohibited and will result in cancellation of your account.

If you don’t log your bets—or you bet an amount different from what’s recommended—WinnerOdds cannot accurately track your results, and your personal betting history will be incorrect.

This will make you unable to evaluate your performance with our service, and you’ll compromise our user history records. Please ensure you accurately track your betting.

These stats help compare your results against other methods or against other WinnerOdds users. Discrepancies should be minimal over the long run. 

  • Picks: Number of bets placed. Multiple bets for a single event across different bookmakers are counted as a single pick.
  • Won & Lost: Tally of winning vs. losing picks. Its sum is typically lower than the total number of picks, as it excludes voided, canceled, and unsettled bets.
  • Bet Units & Profits: One unit is equivalent to 1% of your bankroll. While your bankroll and stake adjust after each settled bet, units measure the value of your wagers independently of your bankroll’s size.
  • Profit Factor: Gross winnings / Gross losses
  • Yield: The percentage reflecting net profit against the total amount wagered, excluding any voided matches.

WinnerOdds is tested on the most common browsers. To enjoy all our features, make sure yours is up to date. We generally recommend Google Chrome for the optimal experience.

Occasionally, translation differences or partial names may show up inconsistently across different sources. In these rare cases, context clues—like the tournament name, the opposing player, and match start time—should help you identify the correct bet at any bookmaker.

Yes, but you’ll have to manually calculate the stake amount and accept a higher risk. Moreover, you won’t be able to track or include these combined bets in your WinnerOdds personal betting history, so it’s something you should only do at your own risk if you have the sufficient betting experience, usually to circumvent the betting limits bookmakers imposed on your account.

No. Using our data for any kind of automated betting is strictly prohibited. We enforce this rule to maintain fairness among our users and because bookmakers actively act against automated accounts. If they detect someone using WinnerOdds data via bots or scripts, they may also retaliate against other WinnerOdds users who rely on the same information.

The following actions are prohibited and may lead to account termination:

  • Automatically refreshing our platform
  • Using bots or automated tools for betting
  • Sharing bet details with third parties

 

These measures ensure a level playing field and protect our community.

Several factors can slow down bets or extend the gap between them:

  • Tournament schedules: Finals or later rounds often mean fewer matches, especially on weekends.
  • Time zone differences: Matches in other continents might lead to inconvenient schedules.
  • Availability: Sometimes no bets are currently profitable, so WinnerOdds won’t recommend risking your bankroll unnecessarily.

 

Hour-long dry spells and sudden influxes of bets are both perfectly normal.

System

When a bookmaker posts an especially profitable line, many bettors will quickly jump on it. To protect their margins, bookmakers often reduce the odds or even suspend the market. You should only place a bet if the odds remain above WinnerOdds’ Minimum Profitable Odds (MPO).

How long those odds stay above the MPO depends on various factors—such as the bet’s value, sharp bookmakers correcting the line, the number of bettors placing wagers, and the market’s liquidity.

  • In WinnerOdds Tennis, this window often ranges between 2 and 10 minutes, but there are plenty of cases above and below it.
  • In WinnerOdds Football, odds typically take longer to change and can sometimes remain profitable for hours.

The odds can fluctuate in the lead-up to a match due to market changes and last-minute news. WinnerOdds incorporates this new data to dynamically update the Minimum Profitable Odds, which were calculated well in advance.

As such, if market trends suggest a shift, the MPO may increase or decrease accordingly. This is what we call the Dynamic Minimum Profitable Odds.

In the event that the MPO increase above the odds of a bet you previously placed, we don’t recommend cashing out.

The all-time betting history reflects a “virtual player” that instantly places new profitable bets the moment they appear. Since it acts right when we release a pick, it risks lower stakes and seizes every opportunity. Although it only includes bets where at least one user successfully placed a bet, it doesn’t mirror realistic results for the average user.

That’s why we also present an “average user” history, showing a more realistic outcome if you follow the system correctly. And since it’s an average, you still have the potential to outperform those results.

No bet is ever 100% certain. Even 1.10 odds carry a 9% chance of losing. If a bet were truly “safe,” it wouldn’t appear at bookmakers in the first place. What really matters is the hit rate you achieve within each odds range. We certainly don’t expect it to be 100%, even at 1.083—the lowest Minimum Profitable Odds we ever send out.

Cashing out a bet typically involves paying the bookmaker’s commission twice—in addition to when you first placed the bet.

Unless new and relevant information arises—like a player injury mid-match—WinnerOdds does not recommend cashing out any bets, even if the Minimum Profitable Odds dynamically shifted above your existing bet.

Similarly, closing a bet mid-match effectively means placing a reverse “live” bet, which again triggers the bookmaker’s commission. WinnerOdds is built around pre-match calculations and does not recommend closing bets prematurely. Instead, it’s generally best to let the bet run until the match ends, even if winning is looking unlikely.

WinnerOdds’ algorithms identify the optimal time to place your bets in the market, so how early you receive them varies based on several factors.

  • WinnerOdds Tennis: On average, picks go out about 24 hours before matches begin.
  • WinnerOdds Football: The average is closer to one week in advance.

 

Keep in mind these are approximations—you’ll occasionally see picks released much earlier or much later than these time frames.

Also understand that receiving a bet 24 hours before a match doesn’t guarantee you’ll have the full 24 hours to place it. In most cases, bookmakers will lower the odds long before the match starts once they detect that it’s a value bet.

WinnerOdds works solely with pre-match data. Once a match has begun, partial or shifting results undermine the accuracy of those initial estimations.

We only endorse very early live bets—for instance, at 1–1 in a tennis match—to take advantage of the often higher live market limits. If you bet later on, you do so at your own risk, and please understand that any live bets won’t impact our general betting histories due to going against the system’s instructions.

Bookmakers

A helpful strategy is to withdraw funds whenever your bookmaker bankroll grows beyond what you actually need to keep betting. This way, you can redistribute extra funds to other bookmakers requiring more balance, or progressively cash them out to your bank account.

Keep in mind, however, that requesting a withdrawal can raise flags at a bookmaker and potentially prompt a review of your betting history. To postpone account limitations, some users choose to withdraw their entire balance only after they’ve been limited or removed from a bookmaker. We advise doing this only if you’re confident that local regulations will stop bookmakers from withholding your funds.

In short, there’s no absolute rule. “Maximum” bankroll guidelines differ by bookmaker due to internal bet limits (which they rarely disclose) and the general availability of their markets.

Each bookmaker operates with their own T&C, which users must agree to upon registration. Common reasons for account limitations or closures include:

  1. Suspicions of Fraudulent Use
    • Surebets, bot usage, or atypical betting patterns (e.g., exceptionally fast gains or highly unusual wagers) can trigger restrictions.
  2. Multiple Accounts
    • Logging into different accounts from the same device or same IP address may suggest a user is operating more than one account, which is generally prohibited.

 

When a bookmaker detects such activity—whether actual or suspected—they may limit how much you can bet, restrict certain features, or even cancel your account outright. Often, these clauses are abused to prevent profitable bettors from operating at their site.

Yes. Crypto betting platforms often feature broad markets and remarkably high odds, so any site offering the competitions WinnerOdds covers can be used.

However, these sites typically hold poorly regulated licenses and may engage in practices such as withholding funds or treating winning users unfairly. You should also expect to encounter betting limits extremely fast. Navigating the crypto space requires caution to distinguish legitimate platforms from scams.

We strongly recommend using all reputable bookmakers in your country first, before exploring any crypto options.

To get the most out of WinnerOdds from the start, we strongly recommend signing up for multiple bookmakers at once. This approach lets you diversify your stakes, choose the highest odds at any given time, and gain access to a broader share of the international market.

Choosing the right bookmakers

  1. Look for sites available in your country that carry the sports we cover.
  2. It’s a good idea to register with several bookmakers upfront. As they begin limiting your accounts over time, progressively sign up for more—until you run through your pool of available sites.
  3. International bookmakers such as Bet365, Betway, Bwin, PokerStars, and William Hill are often a good place to start.

How to find the best bookmakers in your country

  1. Enable monitored bookmakers: On WinnerOdds, turn on every bookmaker for which we provide real-time odds and allows registration from your country.
  2. Analyze frequent picks: Watch which bookmakers regularly appear among our recommended bets.
  3. Prioritize registration: Identify which sites to sign up for first, ensuring you focus on bookmakers that consistently offer good value.

Sharp bookmakers—like Pinnacle—provide precise odds and fewer account restrictions, whereas soft bookmakers entice casual bettors with deliberately mispriced odds and impose stricter limits on winning players. Consequently, profiting at sharp bookmakers often means you can stay there longer without hitting restrictions.

Our historical data shows profits at both sharp and soft bookmakers; however, returns at sharp bookmakers are lower—which aligns with their model of setting their lines rigorously.

To maximize your results with WinnerOdds, we strongly recommend using as many bookmakers as possible—both sharp and soft. If you only have access to sharp bookmakers, be aware that your performance will likely fall below our average user results.

For more insight on this topic, see our article on why we stopped monitoring Pinnacle.

We strongly recommend against solely relying on exchanges to place WinnerOdds bets. Much of our system’s value comes from lower-level competitions that exchanges typically don’t offer—let alone at meaningful prices. While exchange availability varies by country, you won’t see much benefit from using them as your main betting platform.

That said, exchanges can be useful as a complement—especially for high-liquidity events in major competitions without suffering account restrictions. However, they aren’t sufficient on their own for long-term success with WinnerOdds.
