+EV
A book pays more than the fair price.
Antic estimates a fair price for each side from the market, with the books' margin taken out. When a book pays more than that, the bet is worth more than it costs, on average over many bets.
- EV, the fair price and the age of both on every row
- Stake sizing suggests an amount for your bankroll, capped where you say
- Filter by sport, market and the books you use
Illustrative example: round numbers, not a live price
Say the market's fair chance for a side is 50% once the books' margin is taken out (fair odds of +100), and one book pays +110.
- Fair chance
- 50.0%
- What +110 needs to break even
- 47.6%
- The book pays
- +110
Expected value on $100
+$5.00 (+5.0%)
0.50 × $110 won − 0.50 × $100 lost = +$5.00
Half the time this bet still loses the $100. The edge is an average over many bets like it.
Arbitrage
At these prices, every side adds up to a profit.
When two books disagree enough, betting every side at the right stakes returns the same amount whichever side wins. Antic works out the stake split for you.
- Stakes for any total, rounded so they look like normal bets
- Both outcomes side by side before you place anything
- Every leg shows its age; place the side most likely to move first
Middles
Two lines far enough apart that both bets can win.
Take one side at one number and the other side at another. Land in the gap and both win; miss it and you pay roughly the books' margin.
- The gap between the lines on every middle
- What you make in the middle and what you risk outside it
- An estimated chance of landing in the gap, from the market
Low hold
The two cheapest sides, combined.
For promos and rollover. When you have to bet through a bonus, the lower the hold, the less it costs you to get it done.
- The best price on each side across your books
- The hold for every pair, before you bet
- Built for clearing promos, not for picking winners
Illustrative example: round numbers, not a live price
One book prices both sides at −110. Across two books, the best prices are −102 on one side and +100 on the other.
- One book, both sides at −110
- 52.38% + 52.38%
- Its hold
- 4.76%
- Best prices: −102 and +100
- 50.50% + 50.00%
Hold at the best prices
0.50%
50.50% + 50.00% − 100% = 0.50%
Below 0% it would be an arbitrage. A lower hold means less of your rollover goes to the books' margin; promo rules vary by book.
Fantasy optimizer
Pick'em lines most likely to hit.
Pick'em apps post player lines at a fixed payout. Antic prices the same line at sportsbooks, with their margin removed, and ranks the picks against the break-even for your entry.
- Hit chance next to the break-even for the entry type
- Sort by hit chance, then build from the top
- Spread picks across games: legs from one game move together
Trends
Who keeps clearing today's line.
Each player's own game log checked against today's line: last 5, last 10, this season and against today's opponent, next to the best price at your books.
- Hit rates with pushes left out
- The best live price on the same side
- A streak is not a probability: the line may already know
Illustrative example: round numbers, not a live price
Today's line for an example player is over 64.5 rushing yards. In his last 10 games he went over it 7 times and under it 3 times.
- Last 10 games over the line
- 7
- Last 10 games under the line
- 3
- Price at the best book
- −120 · needs 54.5%
Last-10 hit rate
70%
7 overs ÷ (7 overs + 3 unders) = 70%
Ten games is a small sample, and the line already knows about the streak. A streak is not a probability: use it to ask a question, then check the price.
