How to Read OddsNotifier Alerts (And Know When to Bet)

Starting with OddsNotifier can be exciting. Real-time alerts come flying in, odds are moving, and it feels like there’s value everywhere. But here’s the truth:

Not every alert is a bet.

To profit long-term, you need to understand when to act — and when to pass. This guide will walk you through how to read alerts, spot real value, and avoid the most common mistakes new users make.

What Is an OddsNotifier Alert?

OddsNotifier scans over 230 bookmakers 24/7, looking for mispriced odds compared to sharp benchmarks like Pinnacle. When there’s a big enough discrepancy, it sends you an alert.

But the alert only tells you one thing: there was value when it triggered.

You still need to confirm if the value is still there by the time you check it.

What Makes a Good Alert?

A high-quality alert has three things:

The odds at your bookmaker are still higher than Pinnacle
The line (handicap/total) is the same or better than Pinnacle’s
The odds haven’t shifted too far since the alert was sent

Additionally, check the market's trend direction. A strong alert often shows a downward trend in odds, paired with increasing limits. This indicates sharp money is backing the same outcome, and the market is moving toward the fair price. Use the Movements or Graphs feature inside OddsNotifier to confirm this momentum.

That said, this is just one of several ways to identify a good alert. There are other profitable setups that may not follow this exact trend. Odds change for many reasons — and sometimes the best opportunities appear when things don’t look “textbook.”

If in doubt, both products have active community chat groups where experienced users discuss alerts in real time. You’re never alone — and there’s always someone around to help you sharpen your eye for value.

Example 1:

You get an alert for Over 2.5 goals @2.18 on Bet365
Pinnacle odds just dropped to 1.92

✅ Same line
✅ Your odds are still 2.18
✅ You’re betting above fair value (positive EV)

→ That’s a great bet.

Example 2:

Alert shows Team A -1.5 @1.95 on your soft book.
You check and it’s now -1.5 @1.85, while Pinnacle is at -1.5 @1.90

⚠️ Your odds are now worse than Pinnacle
⚠️ No longer +EV

→ Skip this one.

Why Speed Matters

Alerts are sent the moment value is detected — but the market keeps moving. The longer you wait, the higher the chance that the value disappears.

OddsNotifier gives you fast access to market shifts. That’s the tool. Your job is to act quickly and responsibly.

Common Beginner Mistakes

New users often fall into these traps:

Betting every green alert without checking the line
Taking alerts at face value without comparing current odds to Pinnacle
Betting long after the alert was sent
Forgetting to confirm odds and line before placing the bet

An alert is a signal, not a command.

Build Confidence With Simple Feeds

OddsNotifier is highly customizable, but simplicity wins at the start. Set up 1–2 feeds:

Focus on Football leagues (one for main leagues and one for smaller leagues)
Choose ML (1X2) or Totals (Goals Over/Under) market only
Set a minimum EV (e.g. 5%) and ignore unequal lines until you learn more

This builds consistent habits and avoids overwhelm.

Understand Expected Value (EV)

OddsNotifier shows EV on each alert. If it’s over 100%, the odds you’re being offered are better than the estimated fair value (based on Pinnacle’s sharp price).

Formula for Expected Value (EV):

EV = (Bookmaker Odds / Fair Odds) x 100

If EV > 100%, you have a profitable opportunity.

Two Powerful Products. One Goal: Edge.

EV+ Scanner runs continuously, scanning every market across 250+ bookmakers to detect discrepancies with sharp odds — even when no movement has occurred. It’s perfect if you want to automate your edge, manually scan specific sports and leagues, or simply have access to high-volume opportunities at any time.

Movement Alerts monitor sharp bookmaker movements (like Pinnacle) and alert you instantly when odds shift. You still place bets on soft books — but these alerts signal where sharp money is entering the market. It's a great fit for users who want to track live market action and react quickly with precision.

Both tools are available starting from £24.99/month, and each offers a different way to approach value betting. Choose what fits your workflow:

Choose EV+ Scanner if you want:

Continuous 24/7 value detection
Automated or manual scanning
Access to as many opportunities as possible across all sports

Choose Movement Alerts if you want:

Instant updates when sharp odds move
A clear signal for where value might emerge next
More control and filtering for focused betting

OddsNotifier works for you — whether you prefer automation or real-time signals, high volume or high intent.

Why OddsNotifier Is Your Edge, Not a Crystal Ball

OddsNotifier doesn’t guarantee wins. It’s not a tipster service. It’s a radar system.

You get the alert. You check the line. You confirm the odds. You make the decision.

Used correctly, it gives you an unfair informational edge — and that’s what pros use to beat the market over time.

Final Thoughts

Everyone can win once. Luck looks good in the short term. But if you want consistent profits, you need process, not hope.
