The app clearly explains the numbers, in this case, $100 on the over and $203.91 on the under (so you’re putting down $303.91), but getting a minimum payout of $409.86, which is a profit of $105.95, and That’s how the app paid for itself. The app charged me $100 for the year and then gave me this prop on the cheat sheet, so it paid for itself! As far as data analytics, it could use improvement. The filters you can choose are very basic and not very specific. Some filters you can apply while analyzing are results for last 5, 10, 25, season, and vs the specific team. Then you can filter if they won or lost and you can filter if they were home or away. That’s it, and that’s where this app lags behind. There are other apps where you can analyze vs top 1/2 defenses, vs bottom 1/2 defenses, vs right handed pitchers, vs left handed batters, etc. but Optimal Bet doesn’t have those filters. Anyways, I still give the app 4 out 5, and will give them room for improvement on the data analytics filters. ### 5/5 — Best app out *2026-08-11, version 7.11.1115* I’ve switched and since I’ve switched I’ve seen nothing but profit amazing job guys ### 1/5 — App suck *2026-05-18, version 7.11.1103* Research is terrible ### 1/5 — Optimal The Weakest ! *2026-05-06* Absolute waste of money and time. I subscribed expecting accurate +EV picks to finally get an edge, but the “proprietary models” are a joke – most of the recommended bets go completely against recent player stats and trends. Followed several high-rated props and lost big right away. The app is cluttered, hard to navigate, tiny fonts make it impossible to read lines quickly, and alerts are either late or useless. Feels like a black box with no transparency on how they calculate EV. Canceled immediately but already out the subscription fee. Save your cash for something that actually works – this isn’t it. Total disappointment. And one last thing they’re social media is horrible. The discord page has a bunch of moderators who hate on winning tickets that’s not generated from their app and try to banned you when you tell them what’s wrong with the app or share winning lines. and then one more other thing. Their app doesn’t support deep links that’s when you find a bet on their application and try to transfer it to a sport book. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 **Developer response:** Appreciate the detailed feedback. Worth addressing the substance for anyone reading: On "picks go against recent stats and trends": that's the point, not a flaw. The market already prices recent performance. If our models just chased trends, there'd be no edge. Value lives in spots where narrative and true probability diverge. On "lost big on high-rated props": +EV means positive expected value over a large sample, not that every bet wins. Even our highest-confidence props lose meaningfully often by design. Tracking a few sessions and concluding the model is broken is a sample-size problem, not a model problem. On transparency: EV methodology, projection inputs, and model assumptions are documented in-app and at optimal-bet.com. Not a black box if you read it. ### 1/5 — Don’t use in Australia *2026-05-02* Don’t understand why this is available for the Australian market. No betting apps within are available in Australia. Not to mention I cancelled my subscription and they’re still trying to get money. An exorbitant amount of $79.99 per MONTH. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Yes, we’re currently focused on American sports and European soccer. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work most of the time *2026-04-12, version 7.11.1100* If you use bovada, look elsewhere, while it shows as an option, it won’t actually work. For other books I get notifications about ev plays, but then when I go to the app it says the client is offline. The rare times it is working, it seems like a decent app, but without bovada and how often it doesn’t work, it’s not worth it. ### 5/5 — On a heater *2026-04-04, version 7.11.1100* I’ve used many sports apps. This is by far the best out there. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-04-04, version 7.11.1100* This app has really changed my betting experience and it’s extremely useful and user friendly ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-04-04, version 7.11.1100* Best app on the market ### 1/5 — WASTE OF MONEY. *2026-04-03, version 7.11.1100* Had to come back to say this. Signed up for the trial. Unsubscribed somehow they still took the $100 and I have to come back to say this is the most useless app I’ve ever had. If all you’re gonna give me is bets that are 50/50 I might as well just guess. Sends you 100 bets a day that are 50% chance of hitting. EVERY BET HAS A 50% chance of hitting. The ones that they say are good value if you play them you’ll just be donating money. Complete absolute waste of money. ## Frequently asked questions about OPTIMAL ### What does Optimal Bet do?
