2. Using the Platform

Once you complete the welcome wizard, you’ll end up on the odds page, where you’ll log all of your bets.

It’s designed so that even your brother-in-law could use it, and it’s where all profitable bets appear in their captivating green boxes.

Important: Take your time to understand a few key concepts and features before you start placing bets. WinnerOdds must be used correctly to achieve optimal results.

2.1. The Minimum Profitable Odds column

The MPO is a value our algorithm calculates, indicating the cutoff at which a bet has Positive Expected Value (EV+).

In other words, any bets placed above the MPO are considered profitable.

  • On the odds page, you’ll find the MPO in a gray box next to each event.
  • WinnerOdds continuously monitors and updates bookmaker odds for each bet, displaying them to the right of the MPO.
  • Whenever a bookmaker’s odds are above the MPO, the odds turn green, signaling a profitable opportunity.

 

Note: Bookmaker odds are updated every few minutes. If any green odds dip below the MPO, they automatically turn red to indicate it’s no longer profitable to bet on them, and vice versa.

WinnerOdds identifies profitable bets across the entire odds spectrum—starting at 1.083

It doesn’t matter if the odds are low or high; if they’re green, they’re profitable in the long run.

Before getting started, please understand that WinnerOdds is not aiming to predict which player is going to win.

WinnerOdds is detecting events that are underestimated by bookmakers, thus making every every released pick profitable over a long stretch of time.

These are the two rules you should never forget:

  1. Don’t discriminate bets based on their odds range. Every green bet is profitable over time.
  2. Never bet below the MPO. If you do, you’re going against WinnerOdds’ calculations, and are likely to lose money over time.

 

Reread as many times as needed.

2.2. Stake or Bet Amount

WinnerOdds automatically calculates your stake (the amount of money to bet) using a modified Kelly Criterion.

This calculation factors in:

  • Your bankroll
  • The latest bookmaker odds
  • The value WinnerOdds detects in the bet
  • Profit and stake fail-safes to account for a potential margin of error

 

You’ll see the recommended stake displayed just below the bookmaker’s current odds, assuming the bet is profitable.

2.3. Always choose the highest odds

To maximize profit, always select the highest odds available among your active bookmakers, and wager according to the stake displayed for that bookmaker.

2.4. Place your bet at the selected bookmaker and log it

  1. Go to your chosen bookmaker, locate the event, and verify that the odds match those shown on WinnerOdds.
  2. If they match what WinnerOdds shows, wager the recommended stake.
  3. Click SAVE on the betting form to log the bet to your personal betting history.

 

Placed bets will appear in yellow, with the stake set to €0 (provided you wagered the entire stake) so you don’t accidentally bet twice.

Note: If you want to view or edit placed bets that haven’t been settled yet, enable the “Totalized” filter, as completed bets automatically hide from view to reduce clutter.

Please ensure you log your bets accurately for the following reasons:

  1. You won’t view bets you’ve already placed.
  2. Your personal log will accurately reflect your betting history and will help you break down your results.
  3. Accurate logging ensures that WinnerOdds’ historical data matches reality.

 

What if my bookmaker shows different odds?

Even though WinnerOdds updates bookmaker odds regularly, they may mismatch from time to time.

If your bookmaker’s odds are lower than those shown on WinnerOdds, please introduce the correct value on the betting form, and the recommended stake will automatically update.

If the odds dropped below the MPO, the betting form will turn red to ensure you don’t place the bet. Don’t worry, there will be many more to come.

2.5. Totalize Your Bets

If you can place the full recommended stake at the bookmaker offering the highest odds, that bet will be fully “totalized.” 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.

2.6. Dynamic Minimum Profitable Odds

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 MPO, 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, and is something that was introduced in 2018 to make our system even more robust.

Important: In the event that the MPO increase above the odds of a bet you previously placed, we don’t recommend cashing out to avoid paying the bookmaker’s commission twice.

For more details, see our article on Dynamic Minimum Profitable Odds.

3. Activate Notifications

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.

4. Filters and Options

4.1. Hidden Bets

You can toggle an eye icon to hide any bet you don’t wish to see—useful if you partially placed a bet but couldn’t totalize it, or simply want to keep your interface clean.

4.2. Unmonitored Bookmakers

Aside from our monitored bookmakers, WinnerOdds also lets you activate unmonitored bookmakers. We don’t have real-time odds data for them, but you can still:

  • Manually enter their odds to generate the recommended stake
  • Save those bets in your personal log

 

For an updated list of monitored bookmakers, visit our current Bookmaker List.

If you’d like us to introduce new monitored and unmonitored bookmakers, please reach out to us, and we’ll gladly evaluate the possibility.

4.3. Red Bets

Any odds that drop below the MPO switch from green to red and disappear from the default view.

If you’d like to track how these odds evolve, use the red bets filter.

4.4. Odds-Evolution Graph

By clicking the graph icon included in every event, you can view all bookmakers’ odds movements for that bet.

Use this data to see how the market reacts, but trust the system’s long-term approach even if the odds fluctuate.

4.5. Live Filter & Live Betting

Important: WinnerOdds is not designed for live betting. Please ensure you understand how the system works before signing up.

By enabling the Live filter, you’ll see all picks (both green and red) that WinnerOdds previously released and are now in progress.

If you notice the odds are still profitable and the match has effectively not started (e.g. 0–0 in a tennis match), you can choose to stake. This possibility can be useful at bookmakers where betting limits increase the moment the match goes live.

Remember:

  1. When a match starts, we stop updating the odds in real time.
  2. Place bets only if the match is still at 0–0 (or tied 1–1 in the first set with no breakpoints). Otherwise, you’ll be betting in the dark—WinnerOdds calculates probabilities using pre-match information only and doesn’t account for real-time changes or events occurring during the match.
 

And above all, never place a bet under the Minimum Profitable Odds.
