What it does

Low Hold lists markets by the margin left when you take the best price on each side at different books. It runs on the books you pick with the Book: selector, and exchange sides are priced at your net price after fees.

Hold = Σ(1 ÷ best net price) − 1. A standard −110 / −110 market holds 4.76%; −105 / −105 holds 2.44%; +100 at one book against −102 at another holds 0.50%. Below zero is an arb.

The HOLD % column carries a band tag: ARB (below 0%), Near-arb (0–1%), Low (1–2%) and 2%+. Next to it are EVENT, MARKET, BOOKS, BET SIZE (a stake per side from your Target bet) and RESULT: what betting both sides returns either way, or the cost of the hold. Turn on Show fair odds to see the no-vig fair price under each side.

Who it's for

  • Promo users converting free bets, boosts and deposit matches.
  • Bettors clearing rollover who want to lose as little as possible doing it.
  • Anyone hedging a futures or open position.

Coverage

The collector is built for four groups of books. Which of them quote a given game depends on what each book posts, so a column can be empty.

Sports the collector is built for: NFL, college football, CFL, NBA, WNBA, college basketball, NHL, MLB, KBO, NPB and soccer (Premier League, MLS, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League). What you see on a given day depends on what is in season and what the books have posted.

Pregame only. There are no live odds anywhere on the site, and a game drops off every tool at its start time. Refresh speeds up near the start: game lines every minute inside 2 hours, every 5 minutes from 2 to 12 hours, every 15 minutes from 12 to 36 hours and every 3 hours beyond; props every 5, 15 and 60 minutes in the first three windows. A credit budget guard slows the far windows first if credits run low. The ● Live · 12s badge in the top bar shows the true age of the newest collector run and turns amber (Delayed) when it is older than it should be.

What to check before you bet

  • That both sides settle the same way at both books.
  • Your promo's terms (minimum odds, stake-not-returned, eligible markets).
  • Exchange sides are at their net price; check Liq $ where it is shown.
  • That both prices are still up when you bet.

How to use it

  1. Open Low Hold and pick the books you hold accounts at with the Book: selector.
  2. Rows sort by hold, lowest first. Use the hold filter (Hold ≤ 1%, Hold ≤ 2% and so on), the league and market menus, or search.
  3. Set your Target bet; the stakes and the result update. Click a row for the stake calculator and Copy stakes.
  4. To convert a free bet or boost, take the pair to the free bonus-conversion calculator.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as low hold?
Under 2% combined hold. Under 1% is near-arb, and under 0% is an arb.
Why does hold matter for promos?
Converting a free bet means hedging it. The lower the hold of the market you hedge in, the more of the free bet's value you keep.
What does Show fair odds do?
It adds the no-vig fair price of the best-price pair under each side, so you can see how far each side is from fair.
Is it free?
During launch the market tools are free with a free account: sign in with Discord. The calculators and the Learning Center are always free and need no account.
