Turn a sportsbook offer into cash
Bet the offer at one book and the opposite side of the same market at another book, sized so you make the same amount whichever side wins.

Virginia sportsbooks
Licensed in Virginia (check the Virginia Lottery's list before signing up; skip offshore sites like Bovada and BetOnline, which aren't licensed):
How people use this: each book's new-customer offer once, the bonus bet placed on longer odds (about +250 to +500) with the other side hedged at another book, usually keeps 65-80% of the bonus as cash. Read each offer's rules (minimum odds, expiry, eligible markets) before betting. Books may limit accounts that only take promotions. 21+. Winnings are taxable. If gambling stops being fun: 1-800-GAMBLER.
Every betting test, with the rules written down before the result. Profits are per $1 bet.
Model vs real sportsbook lines
592 games of 2024-25, betting the model's side at a typical price: 12,479 bets, 52.4% won vs 53.4% needed. The books' odds were more accurate than the model's.
Line shopping + filters
Best price at Virginia-type licensed books, market blend, injury-news and blowout filters: 773 bets, but the 95% range is -6% to +8%, so it can't be told apart from break-even.
Value betting (price vs the other books)
Prices beating the other books' consensus an hour before tip-off: -0.9% to +1.3% depending on the threshold. Fast-moving value needs live prices, which this test didn't have.
Model fixes (two rounds)
Better than each player's season average, but still less accurate than the books (Brier 0.2547 vs 0.2470; lower is better).
Arbitrage scanner
Both sides of a prop at two Virginia books, priced so either result pays: 754 in 592 games of 2024-25, median 0.8% locked in. The scanner checks every few minutes in the evening and alerts our phones.
Team win totals
BPV team strength vs preseason win totals, 2023-24 to 2025-26: 69 bets won 52.2% (52.4% needed). The lines forecast wins better (off by 7.6 wins vs 8.8): fantasy production isn't winning.
Corner search, 2024-25
Every book / stat / side / price / value / model combination and pair: none survived the correction for testing so many at once.
Morning prices vs the closing line
Since Oct 21, 2026: every game's lines in the morning and right before tip-off, searched for corners that beat the closing line (found on earlier days, confirmed on later ones).
