The people saying the app isn’t worth $20 a month are crazy. I’m up a nice chunk in October (more than $20) basically using this alone sooo paid for itself. What a lot of people don’t understand is that when betting +EV volume matters a lot. It’s like flipping coin weighted to one side rather than being even (50/50). If you flip one time and the lighter side lands up right you prove nothing. But over time, the more times you flip the heavier weighted side will land upright more often than not, just like +EV bets. So you can’t be picking and choosing what you like per say but taking as many +EV bets as you can strictly following units (1U = 1% of bankroll). Even if that means your units are small at first just wait till it starts building as you up the betting volume and then raise your unit incrementally. This app is amazing and the only suggestion I have is to keep adding lines for more books for the optimal/premium. Fliff is a newer books available in most states and has crazy valuable lines adding that to +EV would be great

Thank you for the review! Fliff is added ✅

This app has been really clutch for me so far. I’ve had some great steals and I can consistently beat the closing line odds/projection with the plays it gives me. With the update and having pick6 added now too its helped me a lot considering im not in a state all the time where I can use the parlay builder to find +ev plays even when the odds are way more against you on the fantasy apps like pick6 as opposed to the sportsbooks. I’ve had this app since beginning of May and I’ve made about $300 profit so far betting on average a $10 unit size. I would definitely look into adding chalkboard on there, its an app that I’d love to find +ev plays on. Right now I’m trying to pass a funded acct challenge too and so far I’m almost halfway through the first phase. If I get funded I’ll def leave another good review.
Optimal The Weakest !

Absolute waste of money and time. I subscribed expecting accurate +EV picks to finally get an edge, but the “proprietary models” are a joke – most of the recommended bets go completely against recent player stats and trends. Followed several high-rated props and lost big right away. The app is cluttered, hard to navigate, tiny fonts make it impossible to read lines quickly, and alerts are either late or useless. Feels like a black box with no transparency on how they calculate EV. Canceled immediately but already out the subscription fee. Save your cash for something that actually works – this isn’t it. Total disappointment. And one last thing they’re social media is horrible. The discord page has a bunch of moderators who hate on winning tickets that’s not generated from their app and try to banned you when you tell them what’s wrong with the app or share winning lines. and then one more other thing. Their app doesn’t support deep links that’s when you find a bet on their application and try to transfer it to a sport book. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Appreciate the detailed feedback. Worth addressing the substance for anyone reading:On "picks go against recent stats and trends": that's the point, not a flaw. The market already prices recent performance. If our models just chased trends, there'd be no edge. Value lives in spots where narrative and true probability diverge.On "lost big on high-rated props": +EV means positive expected value over a large sample, not that every bet wins. Even our highest-confidence props lose meaningfully often by design. Tracking a few sessions and concluding the model is broken is a sample-size problem, not a model problem.On transparency: EV methodology, projection inputs, and model assumptions are documented in-app and at optimal-bet.com. Not a black box if you read it.
This app will make you a winner

Positive EV, line shopping, Kelley Criterion (separate app as well, but it’s baked into “units”), DFS, arbitrage, no vig lines, can’t forget the flamingo… This app will make you a profitable sports analyst (the squares are the betters). Just bet positive EV, choose the most profitable book, and over time you will increase your bankroll. There’s more expensive options out there, and I still use them time to time, but on the fly, away from your desktop… you cannot do better than this and still thrive! Add direct links to Sportsbooks and middle betting and this would be sheer perfection!!!
