Make money from the delay between when Pinnacle adjusts odds and when soft bookmakers catch up.
Why This Works
Pinnacle is the sharpest bookmaker. When professional bettors bet at Pinnacle, their odds drop immediately. Soft bookmakers like Bet365 are slower to react. This creates a window where you can bet at inflated odds.

The Complete Workflow
1 Set Up Your Screen
Open your soft bookmakers (Bet365, Unibet, etc.) in separate tabs
Log in and have funds ready to bet
Open Fair Odds Terminal next to them
Why: Speed is everything. When you see an opportunity, you need to act within seconds.
2 Set Up Your Watchlist
Go to the ALL tab
Find leagues that your soft bookmaker offers
Click the star to pin them to your watchlist
Enable sound alerts in the WATCHLIST tab
Why: You'll only get alerts from markets you can actually bet on.
3 Wait for Drop Alert
Keep the terminal open. When Pinnacle's odds drop on one of your pinned events:
You'll see a new row appear in DROPS or WATCHLIST
If sound is enabled, you'll hear an alert
Look at the From → To column to see how much it dropped
Look at the NVP column for the fair price
4 Check Your Bookmaker Immediately
Switch to your soft bookmaker tab
Find the same match and selection
Check their current odds
The key question: Are your bookmaker's odds still higher than the NVP shown in Fair Odds Terminal?
5 Verify Before Betting
Click on the row to open the bet modal, then:
Click the 🔗 Verify button
This opens Pinnacle's website directly to that match
Confirm our odds match Pinnacle's actual current odds
If they match and your bookmaker's odds are still above NVP → Place the bet
Always verify. Sometimes data can be delayed. The Verify button takes 2 seconds and protects you from false alarms.
6 Place Your Bet Fast
If everything checks out:
Place the bet at your soft bookmaker immediately
Use the stake calculator (🧮 Calc button) if needed
Click "Add to Bet Tracker" to log it
Speed matters. The window closes fast. Soft bookmakers can adjust within seconds to minutes.
When to Bet vs When to Skip
Bet when:
+ Your bookmaker's odds are higher than NVP
+ You verified the odds match Pinnacle
+ The drop is recent (under 5 minutes old)
+ You can place the bet quickly
Skip when:
– Your bookmaker's odds are equal to or below NVP
– Pinnacle's odds don't match what's shown (verify failed)
– The alert is old (over 5-10 minutes)
– You can't find the same market at your bookmaker
Example: Good Bet vs Bad Bet
Good Bet
Drop alert: Manchester United ML dropped from 2.20 → 1.95
NVP shows: 1.98
Bet365 still has: 2.10
2.10 > 1.98 → Value bet!
Bad Bet (Skip This)
Drop alert: Liverpool ML dropped from 1.80 → 1.65
NVP shows: 1.70
Bet365 has: 1.68
1.68 < 1.70 → No value, skip!
Common Mistakes
Not verifying — Always click Verify before betting
Chasing old alerts — Alerts over 5 minutes are often stale
Ignoring NVP — A big drop doesn't mean value if soft books adjusted too
Being too slow — Have everything ready before you start
Not tracking — Use Bet Tracker to see if your strategy works
The 30-Second Summary
1. Bookmakers open, logged in 2. Watchlist set up with your leagues 3. Alert sounds — Pinnacle dropped 4. Check soft bookmaker — odds still high? 5. Click Verify — confirm it's real 6. Bet fast before they adjust 7. Log in Bet Tracker
Remember: You're not betting on every drop. You're betting only when your bookmaker's odds are higher than NVP. Quality over quantity.
