TOP Best Value Betting Scanners
Today we will figure out what value rate scanners are, how they work and whether they should be used in betting. We will also consider the TOP-3 of the most interesting offers on the market, indicating prices, functionality and reliability.
What are value rate scanners
Value scanners are inherently very simple. It is a combination of an office line parser and a simple calculator. The principle of their work: to calculate the average odds on outcomes for the main world bookmakers, and look for maximum deviations (overweight) for other bookmakers.
For example, for Finland to win a hockey match against Canada, bookmakers now give an average odds of 2.09. The sharp decline in quotes in all bookmakers was caused by the failed start of the Canadians in the current tournament, but one bookmaker - "Betvictor" still slows down and keeps the previous quotes at 2.80.
This is a fairly obvious value bet, you just need to be on the subject of the hockey World Cup in order to understand that this is not a technical error of the scanner and not an overestimated margin, but a real value. However, in order to use it, you still need to have an account in the given bookmaker's office, and you must still be lucky for the bookmaker to accept the bet on this coefficient and calculate it correctly if successful.
All value bet scanners work by this principle. They look for deviation from the mean and give the highest rate to their customers. Indeed, deviations can be very serious. In the example, we see a value of 35%, which is a lot, and sometimes even more.
Should you use value rate scanners?
First of all, you need to understand that they do not conduct any analytics and do not calculate the real probability. They simply calculate the weighted average odds for large world offices and offer quotes with the maximum deviation from them. Some scanners are guided by the quotes of the betting exchange "Betfair", which, in fact, is about the same. They do not reflect or even take into account the final probability of the outcome.
An experienced average bettor, who is closely familiar with the competition, is able to identify values much more accurately and correctly, precisely on the basis of an estimate of the probability, and not just a bare number of the odds. In addition, technical errors often occur, and bookmakers cancel such bets and mark the player's account with markers inconvenient for subsequent work.

We do not recommend automatic overweight bets from scanners to beginners who are not familiar with betting and the world of sports. Not understanding sports and betting twists and turns, a beginner has every chance of confusing real values with mistakes and will lose more with this strategy than earn.

Experienced bettors are another matter. Ideally, having tried betting on most popular sports and being in the subject of many leagues and tournaments. Here they are able to distinguish the real value from the false one and quickly calculate the real amount of value in the bet on the market. For this category of bettors, the value rate scanner will undoubtedly increase the speed of work, turnover and profit in money.
Key metrics of valuebets scanners
Quite a few services provide valuebets for free. Among them is the famous "Oddsportal", which has a separate section on the website for valueers. Among them is the old man "Surebet", which monitors the value of 83 bookmakers and 24 sports. True, only in prematch - in live, its engine is not able to work. Among them are foreign projects "Bet Catcher" and "ValueChecker", searching through dozens of offices.
In general, no one has yet provided live value for free - scanners with such a speed of information processing are very expensive to develop and use, so they cannot survive without monetization.
Basic parameters of paid scanners:
- Reliability. The project must be on the market for at least three years. During this time, he will accumulate a representative sample of reviews about his work on various resources, which allows him to objectively assess his reliability and all the pitfalls.
- Fast search and issue. Valui live longer than forks, but still, not infinitely. It is important to promptly put down such outcomes until the market for matches is closed or the odds are not cut.
- Minimization of bugs and errors. Good services almost never give non-existent outcomes that can no longer be affixed. The number of obvious errors is also minimized.
- The number of bookmakers and sports scanned. Everything is simple here - more bookmakers and disciplines - more values - more profit on the strategy.
- The volumes of value determined by the scanner. In other words - the average margin over the odds of the bookmaker's office. It is this advantage that will equal the final% ROI - the net profit in money that the bettor will receive from the entire turnover of his bets.
TOP services analyze the line of dozens of bookmakers, in almost all sports, including live. Issuance takes place quickly, without critical and frequent errors. They give guarantees of a certain percentage of ROI that the player will receive at a distance. And they set a fair subscription price, which they can recoup many times over.
TOP-3 scanners of value bets
Third place: "Allbestbets"
A very high-quality, modern and functional scanner, we have already praised it and even put it in the first place in the TOP of the best arb scanners. Since 2016, ABB has been monitoring the lines of more than fifty bookmakers, covering 30+ sports and 200+ markets, and is able to work in prematch and live. Claimed profit margin: + 10% ROI. This is a very good indicator, which is incredibly difficult to achieve manually.
The service package includes the "ArbHelper" browser extension, which allows you to quickly jump from the scanner directly to the desired outcome in the bookmaker bet coupon, without attracting too much attention. Also, by default, the "Accounting" add-on is available, which takes into account all rates posted through the service.
In general, ABB is great, but it has a significant drawback - the price. Firstly, you have to pay separately for live and prematch. Secondly, you also have to pay separately for surebets and bets on values. A monthly package for a prematch value costs 60 euros. The same offer for live - another 120 euros. If we take everything together with live and prematch forks, then the complete set will cost a very impressive amount of 420 euros per month, that is, almost 40,000 rubles!
Second place: "Rebelbetting"
Another TOP scanner looking for arbs and values since 2008. RB is from Sweden, which means impeccable European quality. An important point - there are no live arbs and values here, but a wide selection of prematch options is provided, surpassing almost all other scanners, as well as a very fast search and issuance speed.
Scanned bookmakers are diverse and their number is more than 80. Many sports and options for a value rate every day. The service supports work through brokers and betting exchanges, has a convenient desktop application for work, an add-on for accounting for all bets, and is extremely convenient to use.
The average expected profitability is about 30% profit per month and Rebelbetting is even ready to guarantee this. They provide a refund offer in case you suddenly cannot make money with their product. In addition, they provide a one-week trial period, allowing you to place bets without restrictions and evaluate the service in peace.
And with all this, they turned out to be even less greedy than the domestic Allbestbets. The minimum monthly package for the value of the bet costs 80 euros, if desired, it can be expanded to the "Pro" version for 150 euros per month. The extended version gives more value, moreover, they have a greater advantage, and also has a number of additional useful functions and settings. Complete with plugs, the entire service will cost 280 euros.
First place: "BreakingBet"
A luxury option for all sane people who know how to save money. Yes, the scanning quality of "BreakingBet" is slightly lower than that of the previous scanners in the review. Yes, there are glitches and minor bugs. Yes, he is a little younger than even Allbestbets and has been working since 2017. But at the same time, in terms of price-quality ratio, this is undoubtedly the best offer on the market.
In principle, if you look only for values, then the speed in milliseconds is not particularly important. The number of BCs is 49 for prematch and 32 for live, which is less than ABB and RB, but quite enough for comfortable work. 12 sports: ok, less, but still plenty to choose from. There are both prematch and live modes. There are statistics and history of each player's bet. In general, everything is the same as on the TOP scanners, only slightly poorer.
But now let's talk about the price. The live + prematch surebets tariff is only € 18 per month. Moreover, overweight bets are also included in this price, that is, this is the final price for a full set of arbs + values. And if you buy an annual set at once, then in terms of it it will cost 13.5 euros / month for the first purchase and 12.5 euros / month for renewal.
This is 33 times cheaper than ABB and 22 times cheaper than RB. For a minor loss in quality, this is a great discount. Even if we compare just values, it is 12-14 times cheaper, but BreakingBet also comes with arbs, including live ones.
How do bookmakers treat value betting?
Most bookmakers are very wary of anything that gives players an edge. At the same time, bookmakers do not even prohibit bets on values in their rules, unlike arbs. If you bet on value systematically, the bookmakers will quickly notice it and cut the account. But if you dilute the values with ordinary bets and try not to violate the rules of the office, then the accounts can live long enough - for several months or more.
The offices are completely loyal to the bettors (as well as to arbs): the bookmakers "Pinnacle" and "SBObet ", As well as betting exchanges" Betfair "," Matchbook "and others. The average bookmaker (offices of the Marathonbet level) will almost certainly let you play on the value betting strategy for a long time. But small CIS offices (Betcity, Zenitbet, Baltbet, etc.) will almost certainly cut your limits after a couple of tens of thousands, no matter what strategies you use.
Conclusions
Value bet scanners can be a great help for professionals who live in betting and have been stealing in this topic for a long time. They are able to issue signals, processing which, you can increase your turnover and income at times.
Scanners work in automatic mode, signaling that the coefficients for a particular outcome deviated from the average value. Sometimes this is a mistake, sometimes an overestimated margin, and sometimes it is a real value, which is not so easy to find in the line manually.
You should not rush to the first scanner that comes across that sent an offer to your mail. There are good free options, there are super budget ones like BreakingBet. Weigh all the pros and cons, and choose the subscription option you need. Moreover, some of them are comparable in price to renting an apartment in Moscow.
