Using Filters

How to filter Positive EV candidates

TL;DR

Use filters to narrow Positive EV to bets you can actually place.

The most common filters are EV, bookmaker, league, market, time, source-specific minimum counts, and bankroll/Kelly settings.

Open filters

Use Filters to open the filter drawer.

Positive EV filters are grouped into tabs: Value, Bookmakers, Leagues, Markets, Time, and Bankroll.

You can also use saved filters from the top bar when you have a setup you use often.

Value

Value filters control the quality and shape of the candidates.

EV Sources

Select any combination of Derived, Line, Implied, and Sharp. At least one source is required. When several are selected, Positive EV combines and ranks their rows together.

Source EV ranges

Each selected source has its own minimum and maximum EV percentage. The tool defaults to Derived and Line at 2%; Implied and Sharp default to 5% when selected. Minimum and maximum bounds include their endpoints. Leave a bound blank to remove it; clearing the minimum allows zero and negative EV rows.

Sharp Bookmakers

When Sharp is selected, choose up to three reference bookmakers. Each offer is compared with every available raw sharp line, with identical reference prices combined into one row. Selected sharp books are not shown as Sharp offers.

Kelly Stake

Filter by the suggested stake size as a percentage of bankroll after your Kelly fraction is applied.

Winning Probability

Filter by the fair win probability. This is often better than filtering by raw odds, because it uses the fair line.

Max Odds

Hide selections above a decimal odds ceiling.

Source Min Counts

Derived, Line, and Implied have independent minimum source requirements. Among enabled sources, supported Derived pricing takes precedence over Line, then Implied. Line requires enough qualifying sources at each reference line. A source selected on its own operates independently; disabled sources do not suppress it. Sharp runs separately, so the same offer can also have a Sharp result with different fair odds and EV. Pricing support determines precedence before EV and other result filters are applied.

Exclude Exchanges

Ignore exchange prices when checking whether a candidate meets its source-specific minimum count.

Bookmakers

The Bookmakers tab controls which books can appear.

Use Bookmakers when you only want candidates from specific accounts. Use Exclude Bookmakers when you want to remove books you cannot or do not want to use.

Leagues and markets

League filters restrict results to selected leagues.

Market filters restrict results to selected market types. Use them when you only want familiar markets, or when a particular market type is producing noise.

Time

Time filters control the event window.

Use them to focus on near-term opportunities, but leave enough time to check the price and place cleanly.

Search, saved filters, exclusions, and refresh

Search works across event, market, selection, bookmaker, sport, and league names.

Saved filters are useful for repeat setups, such as a preferred bookmaker list or a conservative high-source-count view.

Exclusions remove specific selections, markets, or events from your results. They are useful when something is stale, unavailable, or not worth seeing again.

Use when you want to fetch the latest Positive EV results.
