BetUnfair’s dashboard comes with eight built-in Quick Tools, small calculators that turn raw odds into real betting decisions, right inside the app, no spreadsheets or side calculators needed. We’ve walked through each one before, but some of you asked for the full set in one place. So here it is: all eight, one after another, in a single guide you can bookmark and come back to whenever you need one of them.

⚽ Our Live Example: Spain vs Austria

Here’s the Full Time Result market for Spain vs Austria, a World Cup match played on July 2nd, 2026, with Pinnacle (a sharp book) selected.

What each colour means:

– 🔵 Blue (current bookmaker odds). The live price Pinnacle actually shows on their site right now, margin included. These are the real, bettable odds.

– 🟡 Yellow (current true odds). The exact same Pinnacle market, but with the vig/margin removed. This is the “fair” price that reflects the real probability.

– 🔴 Red (opening odds). Where Pinnacle first priced the market when it opened. Comparing red to blue shows you how the line has moved since.

Blue current bookmaker odds (the prices Pinnacle was offering):

– Home (Spain): 1.31

– Draw: 5.55

– Away (Austria): 12.00

We use the blue prices because the tools work on the real, bettable odds, the ones with the margin still inside them. That’s what lets Margin measure the vig, De-Vig strip it out, and Arbitrage compare true prices across books.These three numbers are the inputs we’ll plug into every tool below.

Would be great to mention here that these colors are customizable

🎯 De-Vig Odds: What Are the True Odds?

Once you know a market has a margin baked in, the best next question is: what would the odds be without it? 

The De-Vig tool strips out the bookmaker’s margin (their profit) and shows you the fair odds, the price that reflects the real probability of each outcome. If a soft book is offering you greater odds than these fair odds, that’s a value bet. De-vigged odds are the benchmark you compare everything against.

Our example: We plugged in the same numbers: 1.31 / 5.55 / 12.00.

Outcome	Raw Odds	Fair (De-Vigged) Odds
Spain	1.31	1.324
Draw	5.55	5.927
Austria	12.00	13.198

The odds are higher because we removed the margin. 

In plain terms: Spain’s true chance of winning is about 75.5% (1 ÷ 1.324), not the 76.3% that the raw 1.31 implied. Now, if any soft book offers Spain at, say, 1.40, you know you’re getting real value, because the fair price is only 1.324.

⚖️ Arbitrage: Guaranteed Profit, Explained

An arbitrage (or “surebet”) happens when different bookmakers price the same match differently enough that you can back every outcome and win no matter the result. With Pinnacle alone there’s no arbitrage. But imagine a soft book offers Spain at 1.57 while the Pinnacle draw stays at 5.55 and Austria at 12.00, with a €100 total stake:

• Bet €70.74 on Spain (1.57)
• Bet €20.01 on the Draw (5.55)
• Bet €9.25 on Austria (12.00)

Whatever happens you get back ~€111.05 on €100.

A guaranteed +11.05%. €1,000 → €111 free profit, €10,000 → €1,110. 

The catch: you need those prices at the same time across different books, which is what BetUnfair’s odds monitoring helps you spot.

⚽ Our Live Example: Argentina vs Cape Verde

For the next two tools, here’s the Full Time Result market for Argentina vs Cape Verde, a World Cup match played on July 4th, 2026, using the same colour code:

Outcome	🔵 Current (Bettable)	🟡 True (De-Vigged)	🔴 Opening
Argentina	1.15	1.16	1.16
Draw	8.75	10.06	8.47
Cape Verde	20.00	24.26	19.52

Look how the true (yellow) odds are all longer than the bettable (blue) ones, that’s the bookmaker’s margin at work. Pinnacle’s total margin here is only about 3% (very low compared to other soft bookmakers.

💰 EV: Is This Bet Actual Value?

Expected Value (EV) is the core of value betting. It tells you, on average, how much you win or lose every time you place a given bet. Positive EV means the bet makes money over time; negative EV means it bleeds it. The tool compares the true odds against the odds a book is offering. If the odds are longer than they should be, you found value.

Our Example:

The yellow true odds for the Draw are at 10.06, a true probability of about 9.94%. Let’s check a real soft book. Ladbrokes had the Draw priced at 8.00.

Plug it in fair odds 10.06, bookmaker odds 8.75, stake €100: EV = (9.94% × 8.00) − 1 = -20.48 %. 

No value here, Ladbrokes is pricing the draw shorter than fair, so betting it loses.

That’s the honest part of the ads: most of the time, the price you check is not a value bet. Finding a genuine +EV bet by hand is close to finding a needle in a haystack.

That’s exactly the moment our automated alerts are built to catch. Instead of relying on luck with the single match you happen to have open, the system automatically scans thousands of markets simultaneously, catching those soft-book delays the instant they occur.

Live Alerts Captured Seconds Before:

• FSV Budissa Bautzen vs Dynamo Dresden: 1.84, a 13.21% move, flagged 3 seconds after it happened.
• SV Kuchl vs SC Golling: Over 2.25 fell from 2.44 to 2.21, a 9.43% drop, flagged 2 seconds ago.
• Teveren vs Alemannia Aachen: Moved 8.43%, also 1 second old.

That’s the difference between manual tracking and automation. Checking a single match by hand usually leads to missed lines, while the alerts feed delivers every sharp-book drop across every global match the instant it happens.

🎯 Kelly Stake: How Much Should You Bet?

Finding a +EV bet is only half the job. Bet too little and you leave money on the table, bet too much and you risk going broke. The Kelly Stake tool takes your edge and your bankroll and calculates the mathematically optimal amount to bet.

Just like the Ladbrokes check, if you plug a bad bet into Kelly Stake with fair odds 10.06 against bookmaker odds of 8.0 it flags it right away: “No edge — Kelly says don’t bet.” That’s the beauty of the tool: it’s not just a calculator, it refuses to size up a bet that has no chance of turning a profit.

Kelly Stake + BetUnfair

Now a real value example, straight from BetUnfair’s Dropping Odds feature: an alert popped up on Azzurri vs Adelaide Olympic (Australia NT Premier League), captured live on July 3rd, 2026. 

Three different Over/Under Full Time lines steamed at once (Over 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5), dropping within seconds of each other, a classic sign a sharp book just reacted to a goal glut.

Take the Over 5.5 line: it just dropped from 1.69 to 1.53, a 9.45% move, with a fair (de-vigged) price of 1.65. The bookmaker options panel on that same alert shows four options:

• Ladbrokes: 1.83
• Unibet: 2.18
• Bwin: 2.10
• Stake: 1.79

Every one is still offering odds higher than the fair price. We’re using Unibet, at 2.18, because it pays out the most of the four.

Plug the fair odds (1.65) and Unibet’s odds (2.18) into Kelly Stake, along with a €100 bankroll and a 100% risk setting, and it returns:

• +32.12% EV
• Full-Kelly Stake: €27.22

That EV is massive. Unibet is still pricing this market as if the drop never happened. But pushing past that exact €27.22 stake means risking more than the odds actually justify. 

This is the difference between a bettor and a gambler: Kelly encourages you to bet hard when the edge is real, but pulls you back before that edge turns into a broken bankroll. 27.22% is the exact number that grows your money fastest with the least risk.

🎁 Free Bet Converter: What is it Worth?

Bookmakers love handing out free bets, but a $50 free bet is not $50 in cash. You don’t get the stake back, only the winnings. The Free Bet Converter tells you exactly how much real, guaranteed cash you can convert that free bet into.

Here’s an example: bet365 gives you a $50 free bet. You pick Morocco to beat Canada, a World Cup match played July 4th, 2026, priced at odds of 1.77.

Since a free bet only returns winnings, that $50 free bet is only worth $50 × (1.77 − 1) = $38.50 in actual winnings if it comes in. 

To lock that in as cash regardless of the result, you hedge it by placing your own money on the opposite outcome elsewhere. At hedge odds of 2.20, the tool tells you to stake $7.35.

Run the numbers both ways to see the magic in place:

• If the free bet wins: You keep the $38.50 and lose your hedge stake ($7.35), netting $31.15.
• If the other side wins instead: You lose the free bet (which cost you nothing) and win your hedge bet, netting $31.15 in profit.

Either way, you walk away with about $31, a guaranteed 62% conversion.

The lesson: where you spend a free bet matters more than the size of it. Before you use one, run it through the converter. It takes two seconds and tells you whether you’re about to get real value or leave most of it on the table.

🔄 Odds Converter: Same Price, Different Language

Not every book or every country quotes odds the same way. Decimal is standard across Europe, American (+/-) is used in the US, and fractional is still the default in the UK.

The Odds Converter does the boring part for you: type a number into any one of the four fields: Probability, Decimal, American, or Fractional and it fills in the other three instantly.

Take Morocco’s odds from the free bet example (1.77). Drop that into the Decimal field and the Odds Converter instantly outputs every other format:

• Probability: 56.50% (1 ÷ 1.77).
• American: -130 (you’d stake $130 to win $100 profit)
• Fractional: rroughly 0.77/1, this is the UK-style read on the same price, for every 0.77 cents you bet, you’d profit about $1.

Same price, three different ways bettors read odds around the world.

🧮 Poisson: Predicting How Many Goals a Match Will Have

The Poisson distribution is a mathematical tool that takes an average and turns it into exact probabilities for individual scores. It helps you answer questions like: “If a match averages 2.4 goals, what’s the exact chance it finishes with exactly 2?”

The goal isn’t to replace the bookmaker’s odds; it’s to build your own number and compare it to theirs. If your Poisson probability for “Over 3.5 goals” comes out higher than what the bookmaker is offering, you found value worth running through the EV tool.

Back to Morocco vs Canada: say the match’s expected goal average comes out to 2.4 total goals. Plug that into the tool, set the goal proposition to 2, and Poisson calculates the probability of exactly 2 goals: 26.1% (fair odds 3.83).

The same inputs break down every other scenario:

• Less than 2 goals: 30.8% (fair odds 3.24)
• More than 2 goals: 43.0% (fair odds 2.32)
• At least 2 goals: 69.2% (fair odds 1.45)
• At most 2 goals: 57.0% (fair odds 1.76)

One input, five fair prices to immediately compare against what the bookmaker is actually offering.
