How To Use the Best of All Suite: A Complete Guide

Part of the Mama Knows Bets Education Series. See also: What is +EV Betting?, Bankroll Basics, and How to Use the Value Finders.

What is Best of All?

Best of All puts every sport's +EV bets in one place: MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL, plus WNBA, Golf, Soccer and college football if you add them. Instead of opening six Value Finders to find today's best spots, you open one.

It's a suite with three tabs:

• Props: every sport's player props on one board.
• Main Lines: every sport's moneylines, spreads, totals and their alternates on one board.
• All-Sports Parlays: parlays built from everything on both boards.

Props and Main Lines are standard Value Finders: the same columns in the same order as each sport's own board, the same toolbar, Boost, Parlay HQ, presets and mobile cards. Each bet carries a small sport badge next to its name.

Picking your sports

Above the board is a row of sports. MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL are on by default. WNBA, Golf, Soccer and NCAAF are under Add:. Tick one to include it. Those boards are noisier and less certain, and we don't track results for them yet, so they're opt-in. Your choice is saved, so the page opens the way you left it.

Each sport shows how many bets it has on the board right now. If a sport says:

• no board, it's off-season or its board isn't running right now;
• unavailable, its board couldn't be loaded. That's a loading problem, not a quiet day, so check back in a minute;
• stale, its prices haven't refreshed recently, so they may have moved.

How the boards are sorted

Like every Value Finder, the boards sort by Conf. Adj. Recc. U, the recommended stake adjusted for how much of the market is pricing the line. Click any column header to sort another way.

Two columns are worth knowing on a cross-sport board:

• Edge (pts) is how many points of win chance you have over the price. It reads the same at any odds, so it's a fair way to compare a hockey prop with a football prop. It's on every Value Finder now.
• Conf. Adj. Recc. U weights each sport's books its own way, so it's great for comparing bets within a sport and a little less so across sports. If you want an even mix of sports, sort by Edge.

Min books

Min books (default 3) hides lines that fewer than three books are pricing. With only one or two books there's not much of a market to build a fair value from, so the edge is less certain. Nothing is thrown away. The number in brackets is how many bets the setting is hiding, and hovering a sport shows its own count. Drop it to 2 (or 1) to see them.

Your books

Everything you know from the Value Finders works here: Exclude Books, Must Include, Book Columns, presets, saved filters, unit size and odds format. If you've excluded books on another Value Finder, they're excluded here too. Excluding a book re-prices every line from the books you have left: best book, price, EV and stake.

Exchanges (Kalshi, Novig, ProphetX) stay in by default. Where an exchange charges a fee, you'll see the posted price with a small fee tag, and EV and stakes use the price after the fee. If you can't bet exchanges, exclude them and the board re-prices without them.

Views

One click sets the sort and the filters for a way of betting. Your sports, Min books and book filters still apply underneath.

On Props:

• 🎯 High Confidence: the best edges among prices from -300 to +200 that at least 6 books are pricing.
• 💰 Long-Shot Hunter: the best EV % from +500 to +5000, with at least 4 books.
• 📈 Biggest Stakes: the largest confidence-adjusted stakes from -250 to +250.
• 🔥 Steaming +EV: +EV lines whose price has moved our way in the last 24 hours.
• ⭐ Marquee Markets: the headline props, sorted by stake: MLB home runs; NFL anytime, first and 2+ touchdowns; NBA first basket, double double and triple double; NHL anytime, first and 2+ goals; plus WNBA first basket and soccer anytime goal when those sports are ticked.

The Market and Game filters list each sport's markets and games under its own heading, so you can pick, say, NFL Anytime TD, NHL Goals and NBA Double Double together. A selection shows its sport, like "Assists (NHL)".

On Main Lines: the standard Main Lines views (High Confidence, Value Long Shots, Steaming +EV).

Fair value modes

FV Mode works like on every Value Finder: pick what the board treats as fair value.

• Market (default): the market's de-vigged consensus. The board shows the +EV bets.
• Model (Props): each sport's own model, the same one its Value Finder uses. Soccer, college football and golf have no model, so their rows show "—".
• Market Average: a reference view, the plain average of every realistic price. It shows the edge "vs Avg" and no stakes.
• Any one book: that book's de-vigged price as fair value. Golf books don't publish one, so golf rows show "—".

Outside Market, the board loads every line for your sports, not just the ones +EV at market, because a bet the market calls fair can be +EV against the model or a sharp book. That takes a few seconds with the default four sports, and longer with soccer ticked (it has the most lines). Custom weights stay on each sport's own Value Finder, since every sport weights its own books.

Movement

The Movement columns and the Steaming +EV view use each sport's own line-movement data, the same as its own board. Golf has none, so golf rows show "—".

Using a boost

Got a profit boost, an odds surge, a no-sweat bet or a bonus bet? Open Boost, pick the book and the promo, the same as on any Value Finder.

On the Props and Main Lines tabs a boost does one thing more than on a single-sport board: it searches every line that book is offering on that tab's board for the sports you've picked, including lines that aren't +EV without the boost, because a boost can turn them into the best place to use it. Otherwise it works exactly like every Value Finder's boost: Best Odds, EV% and the Recc. U columns change in place to the boosted numbers, and the board sorts by Conf. Adj. Recc. U, the recommended stake.

Max stake, in units

Most promos have a max stake. Enter it in Max stake, in units, or in dollars if you've set Unit $ on the board ("$25 max = 1.0u at your $25 unit"). The Recc. U columns on boosted lines then stop at your max, because that's the most you can bet with the promo.

For a bonus bet, enter its value as the max: Recc. U shows that value, and EV% shows what it converts to.

Max stake works on every Value Finder's Boost, not just this one.

Bonus bets and no-sweat bets

For a bonus bet, the EV column shows the conversion: how much real money you expect per unit of bonus bet. Longer odds usually convert better, because you never get the stake back anyway.

For a no-sweat bet, the refund softens the loss, so prices you'd normally pass on can come out well ahead. The bonus-bet value you enter matters: if you tend to waste bonus bets, use a lower number.

Parlay HQ across sports

On the Props and Main Lines tabs, Parlay HQ works like on every Value Finder, except legs can come from any sport: a hockey prop and an NBA rebound line can share a slip. The same one-leg-per-game rule applies.

All-Sports Parlays

This tab builds parlays from everything: every +EV leg on both the Props and Main Lines boards, across the sports you've picked.

• Legs: one leg per game (no same-game parlays), all at one book. Pick the book, or choose ★ Best book to search every book you allow and see the best parlays across all of them.
• Filters: Min books (every leg needs at least that many books pricing it), the odds range for each leg (-300 to +300 by default, so parlays aren't stacked with near-certain alternate lines; clear the boxes for no limit), an Alt lines checkbox (on by default; untick it to build from main lines only) and a minimum Edge. Your excluded books are respected.
• Unit $ and max stake: set your unit size and a stake target in units and the parlays are sized and ranked for it.
• Parlay boosts: pick the book and the boost (or a no-sweat) and the search widens to every line that book prices, not just the +EV ones, because legs that aren't +EV on their own can still make the best boosted parlay.

Exchange prices are after fees and a price we've flagged as a likely error is never used. On exchanges the parlay is priced by the exchange itself when you build it, so the real price can differ from ours; the tool says so whenever an exchange is involved. To keep each search fast enough to run in your browser, the optimizer searches the strongest candidates (about 166 million combinations a run, about 2.6 million in Lite mode, and Lite mode per book for ★ Best book) and says "searched the top N of M" when it does.

Insights

The Insights tab shows the day's biggest market moves on MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL (the ones you've ticked), with what our data shows around the time each one moved.

• Two lists per section. Props and Main lines each have Moving up (the market now rates it more likely) and Moving down (less likely): the top 15 across your sports, 10 shown until you press "Show more".
• What counts as a move: the market's change in win chance over the last 24 hours, measured only on books that priced the line both then and now (the same number as the boards' Movement column). Moves under half a point are left out. Biggest moves ranks by points of win chance; Long shots ranks props by the relative change, so a +2000 line that's now +1000 shows up even though it only moved a few points (main lines are rarely long shots, so that view is props only).
• +EV moves come first in each list and carry a green +EV badge with the EV %, the recommended stake (Conf. Adj. units) and the best price and book.
• One card per player and market (or per game and market on main lines): its biggest-moving line, and how many other lines moved the same way. For over/under lines the card shows the Over; for a moneyline or spread it shows the team the market moved toward. Main lines are the main spread, total and moneyline only, never alternates.
• The sparkline on each card is the line's fair value (solid) and best price (dotted) over the last 24 hours.
• When it moved: if most of the move happened within about an hour, the card says when ("mostly between 2:00 and 3:00 PM ET"); if not, "in the last 24h".
• What our data shows: player news and injury updates, lineup changes, teammates ruled out, goalie changes and confirmations, probable-starter changes, and forecast changes for outdoor games (a real change: wind by 5+ mph, rain chance by 15+ points, temperature by 5+°F, or new conditions). The current goalie, probable starters and forecast are listed under "Now". Facts on each team's side, the player's own team first, then the opponent. A fact is only used if it's from after that team's previous game, so nothing from an earlier game carries over. It's marked After or Coincided with only when it lines up with the move's timing; anything else is "Also in our data before this game". Each card shows up to 5, with "+N more". These are facts that sit next to a move, not the reason for it. If we have nothing, the card says "No news in our data".
• On each card: 🎫 adds the bet to Parlay HQ (the same slip as the boards), Bet at … opens the best book's betslip when the book supports it, and Line details opens what the board shows for that line: fair value, every book's price, books pricing it, exchange liquidity, the Movement columns, EV and stakes. Hover a player's name for the same player card as on the boards.

Good to know

• Fair value is the market's, the same one each sport's own Value Finder shows, built by removing the vig from every book's price and weighting the sharpest books most.
• Prices we think are errors are never used. If a book posts a price far out of line with everyone else, it's shown with a ⚠️ and never chosen as the best book, boosted or used in a parlay.
• API members: everything on this page is in the Member API as /all/board, including boosts, and Insights as /all/insights.
