Welcome to a new era in sports betting

BetSmart is the ultimate way to generate guaranteed betting profit every time you play. Choose from a range of bets, ranging from no risk at all (Arbitrage), low risk, high reward long shots (Middles), or high value, long-term strategy bets (Positive EV).

BetSmart also helps you find the easiest ways to convert promotional offers from sportsbooks into real cash, boosting your bankroll, and providing you with the ammunition to create a betting portfolio normally reserved for the pro's.

If you're here for the experts, don't worry! We're still the leader of the pack, and all of your favorite features are still here. BetSmart doesn't change our focus on delivering industry-leading expert data.

Why we built BetSmart

Firstly, like everything we build here at Pickwatch, we did so thinking primarily of you, our loyal users, many of whom have been with us for 5-10 years, and we have gotten to know personally. We are always on your side and thinking of ways to make you more money.

Over the last few years, we've been talking to users across the platform, in Discord, via our support, and emails about how to address betting on our platform. One thing came across consistently was a need for more betting related content that covered every sport, and every market, rather than just a handful of NFL ones.

BetSmart delivers exactly that. There's now something for everyone no matter whether you're logging in at 2am or 6pm, and most importantly, the bets we recommend are always fully backed by math and data to turn the tables on the sportsbooks, and minimize your risk.

Here are some of the key BetSmart features:

Arbitrage Bets

Arbitrage bets (or 'arbs') are where we bet on both sides of an event or prop at different sportsbooks, locking in a small profit margin no matter which side wins.

For example, if you bet $43 on Shohei Ohtani to hit OVER 0.5 home runs at odds of +385 at one book, and $156 on him to hit UNDER 0.5 home runs at -295 at another, then you'd make a $10 profit no matter whether Shohei hit 0 homers or 10!

BetSmart finds dozens of arbitrage opportunities each day, and takes any guesswork out of the equation. You know exactly the stake you need, and the profit you'll get - with no risk!

Middle Bets

(note: this is a REAL middle bet that hit yesterday!)

Want a small risk for a long shot big payout? Middles are one of the most fun ways to bet. BetSmart identifies discrepancies between sportsbook lines, that result in you being able to bet on both sides winning, without risking anything more than a few dollars. If you win roughly 1 in 15 (roughly 6%), you'll easily turn a profit. Any more and you'll make huge returns.

For example, if the Falcons are +2.5 with Draftkings against the Bucs, and the Bucs are -1.5 at Fanduel, the 'middle' is 1 point - which means if the Bucs win by 2, you win both bets! Even better, if it doesn't happen, you lose only a handful of dollars, as the odds offset.

In August of 2025, Middle Bets on MLB markets found by Pickwatch delivered an incredible $5,000+ profit, delivering around 25% of the time. This isn't an accident, or a lucky run, they're logically great value bets that are just impossible to find without BetSmart.

I've written a guide to Middles right here.

Positive EV Bets

Here's how wealthy Wall St traders make money: They don't just go with gut feel, they go with stocks that are undervalued, and consistently hit on more than they lose.

Our Positive EV tool finds the 'fair' odds for any market by taking away the sportsbook's cut, and then compares it with the best available odds to let you know where gives the best value. By taking advantage of poorly priced odds at sportsbooks on bets that have good hit rates, you can gain a significant advantage by placing bets on the right markets, for the maximum profit.

Even better, our Positive EV tool is revolutionary, dissecting recent trends for markets, players, and all other variables, giving you insights into which bets are hitting for the sharps most consistently, and which to avoid. Unlike unscrupulous Positive EV hawks who brag on twitter, we find the winning Positive EV bets, not the losing ones.

For experienced users, we offer multiple de-vigging methods, and powerful filters and trend data tools.

Positive EV isn't a miracle, it's math. You won't win every bet, but it is the only long-term way to bet consistently and make profit. It's how the pro bettors do it, and now you have it too.

Promo Conversion

Bombarded with NFL kickoff offers of free bets and bonuses if your bet loses? Fear not, our Promo Converter finds you the best bets to convert it into real, withdrawable cash.

Promo conversion works by finding hedging opportunities with other sportsbooks that return money whether you win or lose. Some companies may require you to place a couple of bets, but we'll even walk you through how to do that, so if your $5 bet loses but gives you $100 in free bets, we'll get as much of that $100 in your pocket as possible - often 60-70%!

And the best part? Converting 1 offer a month will likely cover your entire BetSmart subscription alone, meaning you're getting every other profit-making feature for free.

There are lots more features to BetSmart, and lots more detail that you can see on every page, like bet tracking to keep tabs on your profitable areas, calculators so you can adjust on the fly to odds changes, and more. We're also planning closer integration with our already successful expert data to further enhance our Positive EV models.

In addition, our Player Prop tool launches this week to search and compare odds, data trends, and more for EVERY prop (not just Positive EV ones), and we're adding a Sportsbook odds screen that lets you track updates to odds and search markets, sports, and bet types.

We've also got our BetSmart discord, where you can learn more and share experiences with fellow users, and sharp bettors.

We think betting smarter should be the starting point for every sports bettor. We know that's not what the sportsbooks want, which is why we built BetSmart, and why today, you can get a free 7-day trial and 30% off with the code PRESEASON30.

As always, if you have any questions about BetSmart, head on over to our Discord, or chat with our US-based support team any time, and we'll be happy to answer all of your questions.
