I rate odds boosts offered by US sportsbooks. I like @ThePromoguy123, but I post all boosts I look at.
π΅ definitely +EV
π likely +EV
π² no edge
β negative
Note: I'm not sure it's fair to say I'm "back." There are lots of accounts that make picks for promos and boosts now, and most of them get paid for their work via subscription.
I don't.
I have a day job I badly neglected for months. It takes a lot of time to do this right.
OddsJam acquiring OddsBoom, the email six days ago reads: "OddsBoom coverage will continue for current subscribers for the next four weeks (until July 11, 2022)."
No wait, they actually meant Saturday.
Overpromising and upselling already. Welcome to OddsJam.
Yesterday was good. +$790 so far. If one of the outstanding longshots hits, it'll be the highest one-day haul I've had on this account, but may also subtract $75 from the net.
Hockey lost as often, but was just about cancelled out by soccer working out for a change.
I don't recommend playing -EV bets instead of a +EV promo. I'd instead play the high-variance +EV promo in moderation.
If you have FOMO such that you can't resist bets at things with money you can't afford to lose, you should consider limiting yourself and getting support.
I currently cover FanDuel (FDπ), and DraftKing (DKπ), BetRivers (BRποΈ), Barstool (BSπͺ) and PointsBet (PBπ). My goal is to give a rating to every boost I see and explain my reasoning.
I don't know whether it makes sense to cover boosts tons of other accounts cover (or whether followers would prefer uncluttered timelines). I usually only chime in when I *disagree* with others.
But if it helps, both the FanDuel boosts are good, and so are DK Happy Hour boosts.
Actually everyone, come gather around the aluminum pole. Letβs do this right, a proper Festivus airing of grievances to the seven sportsbooks legal in Illinois.
You can tell it's Christmas because sportsbooks reach down real deep... and give us the same boosts they give us regularly, but now with vaguely Christmas flavor!
Shoulda said "Holiday GIFT." It's good, BTW.
Not rating, just airing a grievance in the spirit of Festivus.
Alright, it's 5pm in Chicago and I'd like to image BetRiversποΈ promotions have clocked out:
π΅π΅π΅ This special is phenomenally mispriced. It's only 3Β½-4 above their O/Us and I think the fair price is in the ballpark of +168. This means the boost is almost +50% EV...
