The MarketOdds tool helps you check the estimated Fair Odds of a selection.
Fair Odds represent the estimated fair value of an outcome. In simple terms, they help you understand what the odds of a selection should be, based on its estimated probability.
The MarketOdds is different from the Straight ValueBet Tool. The Straight ValueBet Tool already shows betting opportunities where a sportsbook price appears higher than the Fair Odds. The MarketOdds works differently. It shows the Fair Odds first. Then, if you find odds on a sportsbook, you can open the calculator, enter the sportsbook odds, and check whether the bet has positive expected value.
This makes the MarketOdds useful when you want to check a price manually. For example, you may see odds on a sportsbook and want to know:
“Are these odds higher than the estimated fair value?”
The MarketOdds helps you answer that question.
How to use the MarketOdds step by step
1. Open the MarketOdds
Open the MarketOdds from the ValueBet tools menu.
The table will show events, markets, selections, and their estimated Fair Odds. Unlike the Straight ValueBet Tool, the MarketOdds does not start from a sportsbook ValueBet. It starts from the fair price of the selection.
2. Find the event or selection
Use the table, filters, or search to find the event, market, or selection you want to check.
For example, you may look for:
- a specific NFL game;
- an NBA player;
- a Totals (Over/Under) market;
- a specific league;
- a specific bet type.
The goal is to find the selection whose Fair Odds you want to compare with sportsbook odds.
3. Check the Fair Odds
Once you find the selection, check its Fair Odds.
The Fair Odds are the reference price. They tell you the estimated fair value of that selection.
For example:
Fair Odds: +100
This means that, according to the estimated fair value, odds of +100 would be the fair price for that outcome. If a sportsbook offers higher odds than +100, the bet has value. If a sportsbook offers lower odds than +100, the bet is not worth placing from a ValueBet point of view.
4. Open the calculator
Click the row to open the ValueBet Calculator.
The calculator will use the Fair Odds from the MarketOdds as the reference value. You can then enter the odds offered by the sportsbook.
This allows the calculator to compare:
- the Fair Odds;
- the sportsbook odds;
- the stake;
- the expected value of the bet.
5. Enter the sportsbook odds
In the calculator, enter the odds you found on the sportsbook.
For example:
- Fair Odds: +100
- Sportsbook Odds: +115
If the sportsbook odds are higher than the Fair Odds, the calculator shows positive EV. If the sportsbook odds are lower than the Fair Odds, the calculator shows negative EV. The calculator helps you understand whether the sportsbook price is good enough.
6. Check the bet on the sportsbook
Before placing the bet, open the sportsbook and verify that everything matches.
You should check:
- the event;
- the date and time;
- the market;
- the selection;
- the sportsbook odds;
- the maximum accepted stake.
This step is important because the MarketOdds only gives you the Fair Odds reference. The actual sportsbook odds must be checked directly on the sportsbook.
7. Place and track the bet
If the calculator shows positive EV and everything matches on the sportsbook, you can place the bet.
After placing it, record the bet in the Bet Tracker. This helps you track your stake, odds, EV, result, and long-term performance.
What data is shown in the MarketOdds
Each row in the MarketOdds represents one selection and its estimated Fair Odds.
The table includes:
- Sport — the sport of the event.
- Date — the scheduled start date and time.
- Event — the match or event name.
- Market — the market the selection belongs to.
- Selection — the outcome being priced.
- Fair Odds — the estimated fair odds of the selection.
- Last Update — how recently the odds were refreshed.
The most important value in the MarketOdds is the Fair Odds.
Understanding Fair Odds
Fair Odds represent the estimated fair value of a selection. They are the reference price used to decide whether sportsbook odds are attractive or not.
For example:
- Fair Odds: +100
- Sportsbook Odds: +120
In this case, the sportsbook is offering a price higher than the Fair Odds. This creates positive expected value.
Now imagine the sportsbook offers:
- Fair Odds: +100
- Sportsbook Odds: -111
In this case, the sportsbook price is lower than the Fair Odds. This means the bet does not appear valuable from a ValueBet point of view.
The rule is simple:
Sportsbook odds higher than Fair Odds can create value.
A bet with positive EV can still lose. The purpose of Fair Odds is not to predict the winner with certainty. The purpose is to help you judge whether the price offered by the sportsbook is good enough.
Filtering the MarketOdds
The MarketOdds allows you to filter the table so you can focus on the selections you want to check.
You can filter by:
- sport;
- date;
- bet type;
- odds range;
- event;
- competition.
Filters help you work faster. For example, you may want to show only:
- NFL games;
- NBA matchups;
- events starting today;
- selections within a specific odds range;
- markets you understand well;
- competitions you want to follow.
The MarketOdds can contain many selections, so filters are useful for keeping the table focused. The goal is not to check every price. The goal is to quickly find the selections that matter to you and compare them with sportsbook odds.
Searching for or hiding events
You can search for specific events, teams, players, or competitions. This is useful when you already know which event you want to analyze.
You can also hide events or competitions that are not useful to you. Hiding irrelevant events makes the MarketOdds easier to use and helps you focus on the selections you actually want to compare.
Final summary
The MarketOdds helps you check the estimated Fair Odds of a selection.
It is useful when you want to compare a sportsbook price with the estimated fair value and see whether the bet has positive expected value.
To use the MarketOdds correctly:

The Straight ValueBet Tool helps you find ready ValueBet opportunities. The MarketOdds helps you verify prices manually by comparing sportsbook odds with the estimated Fair Odds.
Used correctly, the MarketOdds helps you understand whether a sportsbook price is good enough before placing the bet.
