ODDSIFI is a value-based wagering model that identifies mispriced betting opportunities.

Rather than attempting to predict winners, the system focuses on situations where market odds are higher than the true probability of an outcome.

The aim is to only act on positive expected value (+EV) opportunities, with disciplined staking.

Most betting services attempt to predict which team or player will win.

ODDSIFI takes a different approach. The model identifies pricing inefficiencies in betting markets, meaning situations where the odds offered by bookmakers are higher than they should be based on probability.

The focus is not on prediction, but on long-term expected value.

ODDSIFI models span a wide range of sports where pricing inefficiencies are most consistently identifiable.

Current coverage includes NBA, NRL, AFL, NFL, Soccer, Cricket, Golf, UFC, F1, Australian Racing, and more.

Coverage may expand over time as new models are developed and validated.

ODDSIFI is co-founded by Wade O'Shea, bringing deep experience from inside the wagering industry.

Alongside him, Jake Salvestrin has dedicated the past 3.5 years and over 10,000 hours to analysing betting markets and developing more than 50 structured wagering models across multiple sports and bookmakers.

Together, this combination of industry insight and quantitative modelling focuses on identifying and exploiting pricing inefficiencies when probability and market odds diverge.

No.

ODDSIFI identifies value opportunities, but betting outcomes are still subject to variance. Even profitable strategies will experience short-term losing periods.

The system is designed for long-term expected value, not short-term guarantees.

Community chat notifications sound exactly the same as selection alerts, so your phone can go off all day and the important ones get lost. Here's how to fix it in about 30 seconds.

The trick is to mute the whole server first, then turn notifications back on for the channels you actually care about.

That's it. Selections will still buzz your phone, community chat won't.

Opportunities may occur daily depending on market conditions. Members can expect opportunities across multiple sports and markets throughout the week.

The number of opportunities available depends on pricing inefficiencies identified by the model, not a fixed number of daily picks.

Yes. ODDSIFI identifies the best price available across the Australian wagering market, so the opportunity posted in Discord will name the specific bookmaker offering that price at that moment.

To take advantage of every opportunity, you should have active, funded accounts with most of the major Australian bookmakers.

The more bookmakers you are signed up with, the more opportunities you will be able to act on. Members operating with only one or two accounts will miss a meaningful portion of the value identified by the model.

Possibly. Bookmakers may restrict accounts that show patterns of professional betting.

ODDSIFI aims to post bets that are less likely to trigger bookmaker restrictions, however no system can completely prevent limitations.

For this reason, the maximum bankroll we recommend is $30,000. Staking above the suggested unit size, or operating with a bankroll larger than this, places noticeably larger bets into the market and will speed up bookmaker limitations rapidly.

Members can help prolong their bookmaker accounts by:

• Keeping the bankroll at or below $30,000
• Staking at the suggested unit size rather than larger
• Using multiple bookmakers
• Avoiding max stake limits repeatedly
• Rounding stakes to natural amounts
• Avoiding large deposits or withdrawals immediately after sign-up

These practices help bettors appear more like regular bettors and reduce the likelihood of bookmaker reviews.

Most opportunities have a short window of approximately 5 to 10 minutes before the bookmaker adjusts their price. Some opportunities move faster than that.

Alerts are posted between 9:00am and 8:00pm AEST at the latest, so members should be available to act within those hours.

To get the best results we recommend keeping Discord notifications enabled, staying logged in to your bookmaker accounts, and being ready to place the bet as soon as the alert is posted.

If you place a bet at a price materially different from the one posted in Discord, the expected value of that bet may no longer reflect the opportunity identified by the model.

A bankroll is the amount of money you allocate specifically for betting.

To manage risk and maintain consistency, many bettors use unit sizing, where each bet represents a small percentage of the bankroll.

A commonly used guideline is the 1% rule, where one unit equals approximately 1% of your bankroll.

Using small, consistent stakes helps manage variance.

Expected value, or EV, is a mathematical concept that describes the average outcome of a bet if it were placed an infinite number of times.

A positive expected value (+EV) bet is one where the odds offered are higher than the true probability of the outcome. Over a large sample, positive expected value bets may produce a profit, though results can be negative over extended periods.

A negative expected value (-EV) bet is one where the odds are lower than the true probability - meaning the house has the edge. Most standard recreational betting falls into this category.

EV is expressed as a percentage of the stake. For example, a bet with +10% EV on a $10 stake has an expected return of $1 over the long run.

ODDSIFI is designed for individuals who approach betting analytically and with discipline.

The system is best suited to people interested in long-term profitability and structured execution, rather than casual or entertainment-based wagering.
