Literally paid for itself with 1 bet
I got Optimal Bet to analyze sports data and not for arbitrage bets however, as I was going through the cheat sheet last night (9/19/26) I found a arbitrage receiving prop for the NFL with the over at +310 and the under at +101. 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.

Best app out

App suck
Research is terrible
Optimal The Weakest !
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. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Response from developer
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.
Don’t use in Australia
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.

Thanks for the review. Yes, we’re currently focused on American sports and European soccer.
Doesn’t work most of the time
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.

On a heater
I’ve used many sports apps. This is by far the best out there.
Amazing app
This app has really changed my betting experience and it’s extremely useful and user friendly
Best app
Best app on the market
WASTE OF MONEY.
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.

Elevate
I’m an old school better let’s see if this app is any good
Need Parlay
This is definitely a great app I don’t do review but lemme tell you, this all push me up! I started with 20$ now am up 100! In 2 days my suggestion will be just add 3 players of the day and probly 2 Parlay make it more interesting although it’s gambling it’s never 100%
TRASH OF AN APP
THIS APP IS TRASH. USED THE DATA AND LOST EVERY BET FOR A WEEK. EVEN WHEN SOMETHING SAID A- AND SO ON. THERES BETTER APPS DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TRASH
Mixed bag
This app used to be better imo, but it’s not useless. The app is still useful for some books like the exchanges or UD. But lately the lines have been very stale for most of the other books and lines are long bumped by the time you get to the book.Overall though the price is still a great value compared to the other optimizer type apps/sites and is worth it if you mostly use DFS apps.

New Update
New update sucks, feel like the app changed entirely from its original use and function
Honestly feels like a scam
Majority of picks they send you have negative CLV and lose. Waste of time and money.
Trash
Delayed lines that don't update. You think your getting ev, but it's actually the opposite due to the delay on sharp books and no delay on exchange books. Asked for refund they did not will be writing an X review and showing the discord communities. Do not waste your money absolute trash program and trash mods. Much faster programs out there.
