Odds Screen

Having multiple books is critical if you’re a +EV bettor but even if you’re a casual bettor to make sure you’re getting the best odds for the bet you’re placing. Our odds screen is updated every second, looking at over 40 different sportsbooks, giving you the absolute best odds at the time you want to make your wager.

What Type Of Odds Are Available?

You can essentially find any betting market that exists across sportsbooks for any active sports league. Take for example, you’re in the middle of the summer and want to place an MLB bet, our odds screen shows you your basic game lines, moneyline, run line and total runs, but below those options you can see all kinds of different player and team prop bets. You can see the odds for Shohei Ohtani to hit a home run or Cam Schlittler’s strikeout line up to the second across many different sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM

You’re not just constrained to using full-game outcomes either like you see with other odds comparison tools in the market. Here at Prop Professor we also provide the option of looking at odds during breakpoints in games such as NFL and NCAAF 1st Quarter, 1st Half betting markets, NHL period betting, MLB 1st, 5th and 7th inning and so on – truly providing you the best odds available for whatever betting market you’re interested in.

How To Use the Odds Screen

Prop Professor’s unique and user-friendly design allows you to filter through several options to make the odds screen optimized best for you. You can choose whether you want pre-game odds points or if the Sunday Night Football game is at halftime, the live button will show you the best odds across sportsbooks for in-game betting options.

Choose which sport you want to look at, everything from your mainstream North American sports such as: NBA, NFL, MLB, College Football but also some more niche markets such CFL, KBO, CS:GO and LoL to name a few.

Once you’ve chosen your sport, you can decide whether you want full game or segmented breakpoints in the game to see odds, as well as, what betting markets you’re interested in. You can search by various players or participants, and which game or match you’re betting on.

Lastly, if you find the number of sportsbook options too daunting, you can select which ones you’d like to see which is especially helpful if you feel some books have sharper lines than others.

If you find the updates are coming too fast and just want to pause for a moment, the red blinking toggle is the live odds function and by clicking on it you can freeze the odds. As for the clock signal next to the given betting market, that shows the odds history if you’re looking for a good opportunity to place the bet, or when some sharp money may have moved the line.

Betting Odds Terms Explained

There are plenty of options to choose from in our odds screen but if you’re not an experienced sports bettor the language can be a bit confusing.

Moneyline

The moneyline bet is the most-common and basic way to bet on sports as you’re simply choosing who will win the game. You’ve likely done these types of bets with your friends or co-workers not knowing it was called a moneyline such as flipping a coin. The plus sign (+) tell you that the team is an underdog while the minus sign (-) indicates the favorite. You can learn more about betting odds here.

Spread, Run line or Puck line

The spread or point spread is used commonly in football and basketball when there are large discrepancies between the skills of teams. Take for example, the Oklahoma City Thunder playing the Washington Wizards, OKC is going to be a heavy moneyline favorite requiring upwards of a $1,000 bet just to profit $100.

The point spread is put in place to even the playing field and you might see the Thunder -11.5 and the Wizards +11.5. This means that when the game is over, you can subtract 11.5 points from OKC and if they still have more points than the Wizards then they win or cover the spread. Conversely, Washington, as the underdog at +11.5, means if you added +11.5 does it end up winning the game? If yes then the Wizards have covered.

The run line in baseball and puck line in hockey are typically standardized spreads of 1.5 goals or runs. Using the OKC/Washington example, you might see the Yankees -1.5 vs the Red Sox meaning if you took 1.5 runs away from New York at the end of the game and it still wins, then the Pinstripes have covered the run line.

OVER/UNDERs or Totals

OVER/UNDER odds, also called Totals, are exactly what they sound like, betting on whether the game will go OVER or UNDER a line set by the sportsbook. In an NFL game between the Rams and Chiefs, you might see a high-scoring affair with the total set at 51.5 points or a defensive battle between the Browns and Jets that’s set at 38.5 points.

Player props are usually totals bets also, as you’re choosing whether a player will go OVER or UNDER the prop total set by the sportsbook. For example, Tarik Skubal’s strikeout line might be set at 7.5 or Dak Prescott to throw for OVER or UNDER 265.5 passing yards. Daily fantasy operators typically use the terminology Higher or Lower.
