What is?

What is the Benchmark EV tool?

Not all bookmakers are created equal. Generally speaking there are "sharp"and "soft" bookmakers. "Sharp" bookmakers have higher limits, react to information the quickest and therefore are much better benchmarks than "soft" books. Check out our article to learn more about the difference between soft and sharp bookmakers.


When you de-vig prices from "sharp" bookmakers these become very good predictors of the true probability.


When you find prices greater than the de-vigged benchmark that is a good betting opportunity. This is one of the best ways to implement a top-down betting strategy. We use the market to show us where there is value.


Not all "sharp" bookmakers are sharp for all sport or all markets. Our benchmark EV tool allows you to benchmark against the bookmaker of your choice. Further, you are able to create custom benchmark if you want to aggregate the opinion of multiple "sharp" bookmakers.

Process

How does Benchmark EV work?

Step 01

Choose your benchmark

Pick a single sharp book or build a custom weighted blend of multiple bookmakers. Different sports and markets deserve different benchmarks.

Step 02

Remove bookie edge

BetSniper will remove the bookmaker margin from the benchmark to provide an estimate for the fair odd of the bet

Step 03

Compare soft book against the benchmark

We scan every major bookmaker's odds against your devigged benchmark. If a soft book is paying more than the true probability justifies, it's flagged as a +EV bet

FAQ’s

Most commonly asked questions about the Benchmark EV betting

Check out our most frequently answered questions or alternatively you can contact us on X, Discord or Instagram.

How is Benchmark EV different from other +EV tools?

Most +EV tools force you to use Pinnacle as the benchmark for everything. That works fine for NFL moneylines, but it falls apart for player props or AFL/NRL markets where Pinnacle's limits are too low to be sharp. Benchmark EV lets you choose your own sharp books, or blend multiple, so the benchmark actually matches the market you're betting into.

Which books should I use as my benchmark?

For mainline markets (moneylines, totals, spreads): Pinnacle and the Betfair Exchange are the gold standards globally.For player props: a blended consensus of the sharpest prop markets usually outperforms any single book. When you signup to BetSniper, we can share with your own preferred benchmarks.

What does "devigging" mean?

Devigging (or "removing the vig") strips the bookmaker's margin out of their odds. Every bookmaker adds extra price to their lines so they make money over time. To find the true probability of an outcome, you need to remove that margin first. BetSniper devigs every benchmark line automatically, so you're comparing apples to apples.

Will I get limited for placing +EV bets?

Eventually, yes, but much slower than with arbing. +EV bets look like regular single-side punts to a bookie's risk team, not the obvious two-sided plays that get arbers gubbed within weeks. Paired with our bet tracker's bookmaker health tool, you can monitor which accounts are getting close to the limit and prime them with low holds to extend their life.

How often do +EV opportunities come up?

Constantly. On a typical day there are hundreds of +EV opportunities across every major Australian bookmaker. The tool refreshes in real time, and you can set custom alerts so you're notified the moment a bet that fits your criteria appears.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes, every new BetSniper account gets full access to Benchmark EV during the free trial, alongside all our other tools (arbs, low holds, middles, odds comparison, bet tracker). No credit card required to start.
