# Welcome Discover what Bet2Invest offers and how it stands apart from the competition. Bet2Invest is a platform designed to bring clarity, reliability, automation, and advanced analytics to sports betting. Here, you can explore [certified experts](https://bet2invest.com/tipsters) statistics, understand real long-term performance, and follow betting strategies backed by data rather than guesswork. Every tip published on Bet2Invest is tracked and verified using **official Pinnacle real-time odds**, ensuring full transparency and eliminating the possibility of manipulated results. *** You can use Bet2Invest in different ways depending on your experience and what you are looking for. * Beginners can discover proven [experts](/experts/whats-an-expert) and learn how to analyse betting performance. * Experienced bettors can deepen their strategy through advanced metrics (CLEV, CLEV, Liquidity...) and market analysis. * Tipsters can eventually monetize their expertise by sharing their predictions once they meet the [requirements](/experts/pro-requirements) and are manually verified by Bet2Invest. # Vision Bet2Invest was created with a simple goal: **transform sports betting from a guessing game into a transparent, data-driven process**. Most "tipster platforms" focus on selling predictions without proving their accuracy. They often use recreational bookmakers as their odds source, *leading to inconsistent or even manipulated results*. This leads to frustration, mistrust, and long-term losses for users. **Our vision is fundamentally different.** We believe tipster tracking should rely only on indicators that reflect real, repeatable edge. On Bet2Invest, every pick is certified using official Pinnacle odds, every result is tracked automatically, and no manual editing or manipulation is possible. This establishes a level of honesty the industry has long been missing. We also prioritize the metrics that actually predict long-term performance. We focus on long-term results, **Closing Line Value (CLV)** and **CLEV without the bookmaker margin**, **consistent bankroll management through fixed 1-unit (1%) sizing**, and **market liquidity**. A tipster with extremely low liquidity is not realistically followable by many bettors; a high-performing tipster must also operate in markets that followers can access without killing the price. These principles treat betting the same way an investor analyses a financial asset: evaluating sustainability, risk, volatility, and scalability. **Automation is also part of this vision**. Human delays often destroy the value of a good bet, so we offer an optional automated betting system that executes picks instantly on Pinnacle. This turns analysis into consistent execution and ensures users capture the actual edge generated by tipsters. # Glossary This glossary centralises the most important concepts used across Bet2Invest. Use it as a quick reference when you read the rest of the documentation. For a high‑level introduction, see: * [Welcome](/) * [Get Started](/getting-started/get-started) *** ### A **Auto‑betting**\ An optional feature that automatically executes experts’ tips on Pinnacle on your behalf, so you don’t need to place each bet manually. See [What is Auto‑betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting). **Average Odds**\ The average price (odds) of all bets in a bankroll. Higher average odds usually mean higher variance (bigger swings), while lower odds typically mean smoother but harder‑to‑beat markets. *** ### B **Bankroll**\ The dedicated pool of money you use exclusively for betting. On Bet2Invest, every strategy is tracked inside a bankroll so results, drawdowns, and risk are clear. See [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). **B2I One**\ A curated, all‑in‑one package where Bet2Invest selects a group of top Experts for you, bundled with Premium features. Designed as the easiest way to follow multiple experts. See [Easiest way to Follow Experts](/follow-experts/easiest-way-to-follow-experts). *** ### C **PRO Expert (or PRO Tipster)**\ An Expert who has reached Bet2Invest’s internal requirements (track record, yield, discipline, etc.) and has been manually verified. PRO Experts can sell access to their tips and be included in curated offers such as B2I One. See [Requirements](/experts/pro-requirements) and [Become a PRO Expert](/getting-started/get-started/become-a-pro-expert). **CLV (Closing Line Value)**\ A metric comparing the odds you took to the final market odds at closing. Positive CLV means you consistently beat the closing price, a strong sign of edge. **CLEV**\ A version of CLV that removes the bookmaker margin, focusing purely on market efficiency. Positive CLEV is one of the strongest indicators that an Expert truly beats the market, not just the bookmaker’s margin. *** ### E **Expert (Tipster)**\ Someone who shares a structured, data‑driven betting strategy through one or more public bankrolls so that others can follow it. On Bet2Invest, “Expert”, “tipster”, and “capper” refer to the same role. See [What's an expert?](/experts/whats-an-expert). *** ### L **Liquidity (AMB)**\ A measure of how much money can be staked on a market without moving the odds too much. On Bet2Invest, this is captured by AMB (Average Maximum Bet). High liquidity means more followers can realistically copy an Expert’s bets. See [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices). *** ### P **Premium**\ A paid plan on Bet2Invest that unlocks additional features such as more bankrolls, advanced analytics, unlimited notifications, and more. It is automatically included in B2I One plans. See [Premium Features](/getting-started/premium-features). **Private Bankroll**\ A bankroll visible only to you, ideal for testing strategies or experimenting before going public. See [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). **Public Bankroll**\ A bankroll visible to others, used to share your performance and strategies publicly and, for Experts, to build the track record needed for PRO status. See [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). *** ### R **Rating (Expert Rating)**\ A single grade from 0 to 5 that summarises the overall quality and reliability of an Expert, based on yield, odds, liquidity, CLV/CLEV, stake consistency, and more. First available at 200 tips. Experts are sorted by this rating by default. See [Rating System](/experts/rating-system). *** ### U **Unit**\ A standardised way to express bet size as a percentage of your bankroll (often 1% by default). Using units instead of currency makes results comparable between different bankroll sizes and avoids emotional stake changes. See [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit). **Units Variance**\ How much an Expert’s stake size (in units) changes from one bet to another. Lower variance (flat stakes) is considered safer and more reliable for followers and is rewarded by the rating system. *** ### V **Variance**\ The natural ups and downs in results, even for profitable strategies. Higher odds and lower liquidity usually mean higher variance (bigger swings). Understanding variance is essential to avoid over‑reacting to short‑term losing streaks. See [What's Variance?](/bankrolls/whats-variance). *** ### Y **Yield**\ A measure of long‑term profitability expressed as a percentage: profit (in units) divided by total staked units. Positive yield over a large number of bets indicates edge, especially when supported by positive CLV/CLEV and good liquidity. *** If you encounter a term that is not yet in this glossary, you can usually find an explanation in the related page, or suggest it so we can expand this list. # Get Started Bet2Invest makes it easy to follow experts or start analyzing market data.

# Become a PRO Expert Build confidence in your strategy and sell your predictions. On Bet2Invest, we value transparency, strict bankroll management and data-driven models. Not hype.\ To learn more about what truly matters to us, please read [Our Vision](/getting-started/vision). Becoming an Expert on Bet2Invest is not easy and will require statistical and mathematical knowledge. It takes time to develop a good track record, so be patient and disciplined. *** On Bet2Invest, **EVERYONE** can post predictions using a user-friendly interface, similar to bookmakers. You'll need **at least** 400 predictions and 4% yield to be eligible to the "PRO" Status. To understand the detailed eligibility rules, see [Requirements](/experts/pro-requirements). ## Step-By-Step Guide {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Build or use a strict Strategy Before thinking about selling your picks, you need a **clear, repeatable strategy** that can be tracked inside a [bankroll](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). Your strategy should: * Use a **fixed unit size** for almost all bets (see [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit)). * Focus on **specific markets** where you believe you have an edge (league, sport, market type…). * Respect **liquidity constraints** so that followers can realistically copy your odds. * Be based on **data and logic**, not on feelings or "locks". You can start by testing privately with your **Private Bankroll**, then go public once you are comfortable with your rules. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Be Consistent To reach PRO status, you need **volume and stability over time**. * Aim for **20–30 bets per month at minimum**, for several consecutive months. * Avoid changing your staking, sports, or markets every week. * Let your bankroll grow to **400+ tracked bets** so that your yield and CLV/CLEV become meaningful (see [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls)). * Accept variance: even strong strategies can be negative for weeks. What matters is the **long-term curve**. Bet2Invest looks for experts who show **discipline, repeatability, and respect for risk management**, not just a lucky short-term run. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Get paid by your subscribers Once you reach the required track record (currently **400+ bets and 4%+ yield**) and pass manual checks, you can be granted the **PRO Expert** status. As a PRO Expert, you can earn money in three ways: * **Individual subscriptions** – users pay to follow you directly, and you receive **67% of the subscription price (excluding VAT)**. * **Picks by Package** – sometimes users purchase picks in packages. You will be paid for the tips you've provided at the same time as the subscriptions are processed, which is on the 5th of each month. * **B2I One** – if you are selected in B2I One plans, you earn a share of that group subscription alongside other experts. Bet2Invest keeps the remaining share. The goal is to reward PRO Experts fairly while maintaining a sustainable ecosystem for followers. A dedicated page in the **Experts** section details exactly **how PRO Experts get paid** across individual subscriptions, packages, and B2I One. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} # Follow Certified Experts Bet2Invest allows you to follow **certified Experts and PRO Experts** whose strategies have been vetted using strict internal criteria. There are **two main ways** to follow them: 1. Via curated **packages** with **B2I One** (simplest, diversified) 2. **Individually**, by choosing specific Experts you like This page explains how both options work and how to decide which one is best for you. For context on what makes a good Expert and how to read their stats, see: * [What's an expert?](/experts/whats-an-expert) * [Rating System](/experts/rating-system) * [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls) *** ### Option 1 – Follow Experts by package (B2I One) The easiest and safest way to start is to use **B2I One**, which is a curated package of top PRO Experts selected by Bet2Invest. #### What is B2I One? B2I One is an **all‑in‑one subscription** that gives you: * Access to a **group of certified PRO Experts** selected by Bet2Invest. * **Automatic diversification** across several bankrolls and strategies. * **Premium** included in the price (no need to buy it separately). You simply choose a B2I One plan (Beginner, Professional, Investor, etc.) and Bet2Invest handles the expert selection for you. See [Easiest way to Follow Experts](/follow-experts/easiest-way-to-follow-experts) for full details. #### How to subscribe to a B2I One package 1. Go to the **B2I One** section on Bet2Invest. 2. Compare the available plans (e.g. Beginner, Professional, Investor) in terms of: * Number of Experts * Ideal user profile (beginner, advanced, higher stakes…) * Variance / risk level 3. Click **Get** (or the equivalent button) on the plan you want. 4. Confirm the subscription. Once subscribed, you automatically follow **all Experts** inside that package. #### When and where you receive tips Each time a B2I One Expert publishes a tip: * It appears in your Bet2Invest interface under your followed Experts. * You receive a **notification** (Telegram or email) according to your settings. See [how do I receive the tips?](/follow-experts/how-do-i-receive-the-tips). Because B2I One uses **PRO Experts only**, **notifications for these Experts are always unlimited**, even if you don’t have Premium. *** ### Option 2 – Follow Certified Experts individually If you prefer more control, you can pick and follow **individual certified Experts** instead of (or in addition to) B2I One. #### How to find certified Experts 1. Open the **Experts / Tipsters** section on Bet2Invest. 2. Use filters or sorting to focus on: * **PRO** status * **Rating** (0–5 scale) * Sport, yield, liquidity, etc. 3. Click on an Expert to open their **profile and bankrolls.** On the profile, you can review: * Overall **rating** * Key metrics (yield, number of bets, CLV/CLEV, liquidity…) * Bankroll history Use the guidance in [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls) if you are unsure how to interpret these stats. #### How to follow an Expert individually When you are on a certified Expert’s profile: 1. Click the **Follow** / **Subscribe** button.
2. If you clicked "Subscribe", proceed to the checkout. After that, every new tip published by this Expert will be sent to you as a notification and will appear in your followed tips list. #### Notifications and limits * When you follow **PRO Experts**, notifications are **always unlimited**, even on the free plan. * Following non‑PRO experts may be subject to limits unless you have Premium. For full details, see [how do I receive the tips?](/follow-experts/how-do-i-receive-the-tips) and [Premium Features](/getting-started/premium-features). *** ### Which option should you choose? **Use B2I One packages if you:** * Prefer a **hands‑off** approach with Bet2Invest doing the expert selection. * Want **built‑in diversification** across several PRO Experts. * Are new to analysing bankrolls or don’t want to spend time choosing individuals. **Follow individual Experts if you:** * Enjoy analysing stats and choosing your own strategies. * Want to build a **custom mix** of Experts (sports, leagues, variance levels). * Already understand metrics like yield, CLV/CLEV, and liquidity. You can also **combine both approaches**: use a B2I One plan as your core and add a few individual Experts on top. Whatever you choose, always: * Set a proper [bankroll](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). * Use consistent [units](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit). * Accept [variance](/bankrolls/whats-variance) as part of the journey. # Analyze Pinnacle Markets Bet2Invest is not only a platform to follow Experts — it can also be used as a **market analysis tool**. One of the most powerful use cases is analysing **Pinnacle markets**, because Pinnacle is widely considered the sharpest and most efficient pricing reference in sports betting. {% hint style="info" %} Bet2Invest is one of the very few platforms offering a **true, real‑time (non‑delayed) Pinnacle API** experience for market analysis. Most of the core analysis features described below are **free**. {% endhint %} *** ### Explore Pinnacle like a bookmaker interface On Bet2Invest, you get an interface similar to bookmakers where you can browse: * Every **sport** * Every **league / competition** * Every **matchup** * Every **market type** This is designed to let you analyse the market the same way you would **place a bet**, but with extra analytical layers that are usually not available on bookmaker websites. If you want a hands-on guide at the event level, see [How to Analyze Pinnacle Odds on Event Markets](/experts/how-to-analyze-pinnacle-odds-on-event-markets). *** ### What you can analyse on each market For each market price, Bet2Invest lets you see key data points such as: * **Current odds** * **Opening odds** * **Odds evolution** (movement over time) * **Bookmaker margin** * **Implied probabilities** In addition, you can compare the market to what the community is thinking using the: * **B2I tips distribution** – an aggregated view of what tipsters on Bet2Invest are picking on that market. {% hint style="success" %} This combination (sharp odds + line movement + margin + implied probabilities + tipster distribution) is what allows you to think in terms of **pricing** and **expected value**, not just “teams” and “predictions”. {% endhint %} *** ### Turn market analysis into a tracked strategy (by placing bets) Market analysis becomes much more valuable when you can **measure your decisions over time**. On Bet2Invest, you can simulate real betting conditions by placing bets inside a: * **Public bankroll** (visible to others), or * **Private bankroll** (visible only to you) See [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). Once you place a bet in a bankroll, you can access advanced metrics such as: * **Closing odds** * **CLV** (Closing Line Value) * **CLEV** (CLV without the bookmaker margin) * **Market margin** at bet time vs at close * **Automatic settling** using real Pinnacle grading rules To understand why CLV/CLEV are central metrics on Bet2Invest, see [Why CLV & CLEV Matter](/bankrolls/why-clv-and-clev-matter). *** ### Build strategies from Pinnacle data With all this market history and performance data, you can create strategies based on: * **Line movement patterns** * **Market types** (main lines vs derivatives) * **Margins** (where the bookmaker edge is highest/lowest) * **Timing** (opening vs mid‑week vs close vs live) * **Your own long‑term CLV/CLEV** This is the foundation of a data‑driven approach: you are not only asking “did I win?”, but also “did I beat the market consistently?”. To learn how to read performance properly, see [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls). *** ### Markets available on Bet2Invest Bet2Invest is built to analyse **all Pinnacle markets**, not only the most common ones. You can analyse, among others: * **Prematch** markets * **Live** markets * **Futures** * **Corners** * **Bookings / cards** …and many more. In practice, every market available on Pinnacle is intended to be available on Bet2Invest. *** ### Odds integrity: you can’t “fake” prices A key part of market analysis is knowing the odds history is trustworthy. On Bet2Invest, odds are **verified at the moment you place a bet** using Pinnacle’s data, which prevents users from manually entering unrealistic prices. {% hint style="warning" %} If market odds could be edited, performance metrics would become meaningless. Bet2Invest prevents this by certifying odds at bet time. {% endhint %} *** ### Next step If you want to go deeper, start by creating a private bankroll and tracking a simple, consistent approach with fixed stakes (units). * [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit) * [Why CLV & CLEV Matter](/bankrolls/why-clv-and-clev-matter) * [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices) * [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls) # Premium Features Premium unlocks additional Bet2Invest features for both **bettors** and **tipsters**. It focuses on three things: * Better **information** (more data, full predictions in notifications) * Better **control** (multiple bankrolls, custom embeds, extra profile links) * Better **experience** (unlimited alerts for all experts, no ads, lower auto‑betting fees) Premium is available on a **monthly** or **yearly** subscription. Exact prices and promotions are displayed directly on the Bet2Invest pricing page. *** ### What you get as a bettor As a bettor following experts, Premium gives you: * **Premium badge on your profile**\ A visual badge that shows other users you are a Premium member. * **Unlimited tipsters notifications**\ No limit on how many email / Telegram alerts you can receive when experts you follow publish new tips.\ Without Premium, notifications for **PRO Experts are already unlimited**, but notifications from **other experts** are limited (see [how do I receive the tips?](/follow-experts/how-do-i-receive-the-tips)). * **Full prediction in notifications**\ Your notifications can include the **complete pick details** (event, market, odds, stake…), so you don’t need to open the site every time. * **Export statistics to CSV**\ Download your data (bankroll history, expert stats, etc.) to analyse it in Excel, Google Sheets, or your own tools. * **No ads on the platform**\ Enjoy a cleaner interface without advertising when browsing Bet2Invest. * **Reduced auto‑betting fees (0.2%)**\ If you use auto‑betting, your commission is reduced, making it cheaper to execute tips automatically over the long run. {% hint style="success" %} Premium is automatically included when you subscribe to **B2I One** plans, so you don’t need a separate Premium subscription in that case. See [Easiest way to Follow Experts](/follow-experts/easiest-way-to-follow-experts). {% endhint %} *** ### What you get as a tipster / Expert As a tipster (Expert), Premium helps you manage and promote your strategies more professionally: * **Premium badge on your profile**\ Highlights your account as Premium, which can help with credibility when users discover your profile. * **Multiple bankroll management**\ Create and manage **more than the default bankrolls**, so you can separate strategies (by league, model, risk level, etc.). See [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll). * **Margin visible at the moment of the tip**\ See the bookmaker **margin** directly when you publish a pick, helping you target sharper markets and understand how much edge is required. * **Custom embed codes**\ Generate embed codes to display your bankroll or results on external sites (blogs, personal websites, social media pages), while keeping all stats certified on Bet2Invest. * **Additional links in your tipster profile**\ Add extra external links (website, social profiles, communities, etc.) to your Expert profile. These benefits make it easier to: * Run several strategies in parallel. * Communicate your value to followers. * Optimise your markets and margin targeting. To understand how to become a PRO Expert and monetize your tips, see: * [Become a PRO Expert](/getting-started/get-started/become-a-pro-expert) * [Requirements](/experts/pro-requirements) * [How PRO Experts Get Paid](/experts/how-pro-experts-get-paid) *** ### Is Premium mandatory? No. You can use Bet2Invest for free, discover experts, and learn how to analyse performance without Premium. Notifications for **all PRO Experts** you follow are already **unlimited**, even on the free plan. Premium simply extends unlimited notifications to **every expert** you follow and unlocks **extra comfort and power features**. It is especially useful if you: * Follow several experts and want **unlimited notifications for all of them**, plus CSV exports. * Want a **clean, ad‑free** platform. * Manage multiple bankrolls or run several strategies as a tipster. * Use **auto‑betting** regularly and benefit from the reduced fee. You can upgrade or cancel your Premium subscription at any time from your account settings on Bet2Invest. # Prediction Contest Rules Bet2invest is all about fair play.

The Contest is open worldwide, subject to the restrictions applicable in the excluded countries (defined below).

Always make sure it clearly reflects your intent. * When a prediction's settlement is disputed, the final decision is based on how **Pinnacle** settled the bet on its site. Accordingly, if a bet is voided by the bookmaker, the corresponding prediction is also voided on Bet2invest. *** ### Determining the winners * To be eligible, a Tipster must have **at least 35 settled predictions** (at 1 unit) on 2026 World Cup matches during the Contest period. * The ranking is based on a **composite score**, calculated automatically by our own tools and recomputed throughout the competition (winning and losing predictions alike). It combines three metrics, **normalized across all eligible participants** (each metric is rescaled to a 0–100 range, then weighted): | Metric | Weight | | ---------------------------- | ------ | | **Yield** | 50% | | **CLV** (Closing Line Value) | 40% | | **Volume** of predictions | 10% | * **Volume** is capped: beyond a certain number of predictions, publishing more no longer increases your score (anti-spam measure). * At the end of the competition cycle, the final leaderboard determines how the prizes are awarded: tipsters are ranked from the highest to the lowest score. The **Top 10** is rewarded. * **In the event of a tie**, the tie-break order is as follows: best **yield**, then best **CLV**, then **earliest enrollment** in the Contest. *** ### Sending the prizes All shipments made by Bet2invest are subject to a check to ensure prizes are delivered to the correct recipients. It is therefore **mandatory to fill in the following information** on your Bet2invest account, as soon as you enter the Contest: * Last name * First name * Address (street, city, postal code, country) * Username on the Site * Email address To settle each prize, Bet2invest may ask winners for a copy of a **proof of identity** (passport or driver's license, with a visible date of birth). Prizes are sent by **post** (jerseys) and by **email** (digital prizes). *** ### Personal data The Organizer acts as a data controller and processes tipsters' personal data in accordance with the **privacy policy**. By participating in the Contest, tipsters declare that they accept the processing of the following personal data: first name, last name, username on the Site, email address, home address. We may publish the winner's first and last name on our Site in order to contribute to the transparency of the Contest and to comply with advertising legislation and recommendations. You may object to this publication by writing to us at ****. If you win a prize, we may ask you for a copy of your proof of identity, your phone number, proof of address and, where applicable, your bank details. Processing this data is necessary to verify your identity, deliver the prizes, pay any applicable taxes, and verify that you meet the age and participation requirements. Please refer to our privacy policy for more details on how your data is processed, our processing partners, as well as your rights and our obligations regarding data protection. *** ### Breach of the rules All content and comments published on the Site must remain courteous. Respect your fellow tipsters and refrain from any abusive, racist, sexist, homophobic language or any other form of discrimination. We also ask that you avoid any intentionally provocative content (for example, extreme political opinions). The Site is for everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from and whatever they believe. Any attempt to exploit the Site's system is prohibited and will result in sanctions. Copying someone else's work to publish it under your own name, intentionally exploiting bugs, or attempting in any way to gain an unfair advantage over other tipsters is strictly unacceptable. Predictions are verified, and any attempt to cheat or circumvent the rules will be severely sanctioned. Conversely, honesty and respect for the Site's integrity are valued and often rewarded. When administrators correct predictions that breach the rules above, they remove all **predictions** that generated a profit for the tipster. Losing predictions, however, are kept, since they result from the tipster's failure to comply with the rules. The Organizer reserves the right to reward or sanction tipsters whenever it deems it justified. An explanation is always provided when a tipster acts outside the normal rules of the competition. Sanctions include the cancellation or removal of predictions, warnings, temporary suspensions and, in certain circumstances, a permanent ban.

A bankroll is the amount of money you dedicate exclusively to betting. **It exists to protect you from emotional decisions, manage risk, and allow your strategy to survive natural variance**. A good bankroll isolates your betting activity from your personal finances and helps you measure real performance over time. Bet2Invest uses bankrolls to help you test, track, and compare strategies with professional-level discipline. {% hint style="info" %} A bankroll is not your savings. It is a dedicated pool of money used to follow strategies, absorb losing streaks, and evaluate long-term results. {% endhint %} Managing a bankroll properly means using consistent stakes, avoiding random changes in bet size, and treating your betting activity like an investment. On Bet2Invest, this is done through the unit system: 1 unit always represents the same proportion of your bankroll, regardless of the currency you use. *** ### Bankrolls on Bet2Invest By default, every user has **two bankrolls**: {% columns %} {% column %} {% hint style="success" %} **Public Bankroll**\ Visible to others. Useful for sharing your performance, ideas, and strategies publicly. {% endhint %} {% endcolumn %} {% column %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Private Bankroll**\ Visible only to you. Ideal for personal testing, experiments, or strategies you don’t want to reveal. {% endhint %} {% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} Premium users can also **create additional bankrolls**, each with its own visibility settings. This allows you to separate strategies, compare approaches, or run multiple simulations at once. Bankroll creation beyond the default two is a Premium feature. # What's a Unit? A **unit** is the universal way to measure bet size on Bet2Invest.\ It replaces currency to keep everything consistent and comparable between users and strategies. Units allow you to track performance with stability, without being affected by emotional changes in stake size or differences in bankroll size. *** #### Why Units Matter {% columns %} {% column width="50%" %} **Consistency**\ Units force stable staking.\ No more random bet sizes or emotional “big bets.” {% endcolumn %} {% column width="50%" %} **Comparability**\ Two bettors with different bankrolls can compare performance using the same unit scale. {% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} 1 unit is not a fixed amount of money.\ It is a **percentage of your bankroll**, defined by you. {% hint style="info" %} Most of the time, **we consider 1 unit should be equal to 1% of your bankroll.** If your bankroll is $1000, your unit should be $10. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} By default, stakes can be selected in **0.25U increments** (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, … up to 10).\ See [Unit Increments & Limits](/bankrolls/unit-increments-and-limits). {% endhint %} *** #### How Units Work {% stepper %} {% step %} ### You Set Your Bankroll Example: 1,000 euros.\ This is the base for defining your unit value. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### You decide how much 1 unit represents As mentioned earlier, we recommend 1% of your bankroll, but it can go up to 3%, although it increases the risks. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### All picks use units, not money If a tipster posts “1U”, it means you stake 1% *(or the percentage you have determined)* of YOUR bankroll, whatever its size. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** #### Why Bet2Invest Uses 1U by Default Most strategies collapse because bettors change their stake sizes constantly or chase losses.\ Bet2Invest enforces **1U staking** for tipsters and bankrolls to ensure: * clear, honest performance * no leverage * no manipulation of stats * no illusion of higher profits through variable staking {% hint style="warning" %} Bet2Invest will not recommend an expert and will lower their [rating](/experts/rating-system) if they use excessively varying unit sizes. {% endhint %} # Unit Increments & Limits Bet2Invest uses **units** to keep staking consistent and performance comparable across bankrolls and users. This page explains the **default unit increments** available when publishing tips, and how to request additional staking options for specific strategies. *** ### Default unit increments By default, unit sizes are limited to **increments of 0.25U**, from **0.25U up to 10U**: * `0.25`, `0.5`, `0.75`, `1`, `1.25`, … up to `10` This means you can publish stakes such as: * `1U` * `1.5U` * `2.75U` * `10U` …but you cannot select arbitrary values like `0.33U` or `1.1U` unless special access is enabled for your account.
*** ### Why Bet2Invest limits unit sizes Unit increments are limited by default to: * encourage **disciplined staking** * reduce accidental input errors * keep bankroll statistics easier to interpret and compare Bet2Invest may also **restrict** the available unit sizes for a given user if needed (for example, to prevent staking behavior that could be **dangerous to followers**). {% hint style="warning" %} Excessively varying stake sizes can make a track record less reliable and may negatively impact how a bankroll is perceived. {% endhint %} *** ### Need other unit sizes? (request unlock) If you have a **specific strategy** that requires different increments (for example: a model-driven staking plan), you can contact us and request additional unit sizes. When you contact us, include: * which bankroll/strategy it’s for * why 0.25 increments are not sufficient * which unit values/increments you want enabled (example: `0.1U` steps, or specific fixed sizes) If it fits the strategy and quality criteria, we can **unlock other units** for your account. {% hint style="info" %} This is handled case-by-case to protect tracking integrity while still supporting advanced strategies. {% endhint %} # What's Variance? Variance is the **natural randomness in short-term results**. In sports betting – especially sharp betting on efficient markets – variance is what makes a **good strategy look bad for a while**, or a bad strategy look good. You can have a real edge, follow a solid model, beat the closing line, and **still lose for weeks**. That’s not necessarily a problem with your strategy; it’s often just variance. *** ### Variance in sports betting In sharp betting, you usually bet into **efficient markets** with a **small but real edge** - often just a few percentage points. This combination creates: * **High volatility in the short term**: long winning or losing streaks are normal. * **Slow realization of your edge**: it can take hundreds or thousands of bets for your true skill to show in results. * **Emotionally hard periods**: you can do everything "right" and still lose money for a while. {% hint style="info" %} Variance is not your enemy - it is simply the price you pay for betting in uncertain environments.\ Your job is not to eliminate variance, but to **survive it** with proper bankroll and staking. {% endhint %} *** ### Variance vs. being wrong Losing streaks happen to everyone. The key is to **separate variance from bad strategy**: * **Variance** * You follow a disciplined process. * You consistently beat the closing line or get good prices. * Results swing up and down, sometimes painfully. * Over a large sample, performance stabilises. * **Being wrong** * You take random bets, follow emotions, or chase losses. * You do not get good odds on average compared to closing lines. * Performance stays poor over time, not just in the short term. Sharp betting accepts that **short-term results lie**, and focuses on long-term edges. *** ### How variance shows up in your bankroll Variance is what makes your bankroll graph move **up and down in waves**, even if your strategy is profitable. Common symptoms of variance: * Long losing streaks (10+ bets lost in a row is completely normal at common odds). * Big drawdowns where your bankroll drops 5%, 10% or more. * Periods where you have really good streaks - followed by periods where nothing goes your way. This is why Bet2Invest is built around: * **Bankrolls** – a dedicated pool of money to absorb these swings. * **Units** – a fixed fraction of your bankroll per bet to keep risk under control. If your unit size is too large, normal variance can **wipe out your bankroll** before your edge has time to appear. {% hint style="warning" %} Many bettors quit *right before* their results start reflecting their skill.\ They either over-stake (units too big) or give up after a natural negative run. {% endhint %} *** ### Why variance is higher in sharp environments In recreational markets, prices can be very wrong, and some bettors win simply because the odds are soft. In sharp markets: * Edges are **small but real** (for example, +2% to +5% expected ROI). * The house and other sharp bettors are also extremely skilled. * The line is hard to beat, so most of your advantage is **tiny and long term**. With small edges: * Short-term results are dominated by luck. * Even a strong bettor can look break-even or losing for hundreds of bets. * Only **large samples** reveal the difference between a sharp bettor and a random one. *** ### Practical mindset for dealing with variance * Expect losing runs – plan for them before they happen. * Focus on the **quality of your bets** (prices, markets, methodology), not just outcomes. * Use your bankroll and unit system as rules, not suggestions. * Track results, but do not overreact to short-term swings. Handled correctly, variance becomes **manageable noise** around a profitable strategy rather than a reason to panic or abandon sharp betting. # Why CLV & CLEV Matter CLV and CLEV are two of the most important metrics used on Bet2Invest to evaluate whether a strategy has a **repeatable edge**. They are not perfect, but they are much harder to “game” than short‑term results, and they are widely used in sharp betting to assess whether someone consistently beats the market price. {% hint style="warning" %} **Important:** CLV and CLEV are *indicators*, not certainties. They have **not been formally “proved”** as guaranteed long‑term predictors, and we cannot be 100% sure they will always translate into long‑term profitability for every sport, market, or strategy. {% endhint %} *** ### Definitions #### CLV (Closing Line Value) **CLV** compares the odds you took when you placed your bet to the **closing odds** (the final Pinnacle price right before the event starts). Intuition: * If you consistently take **better odds than the close**, you are “beating the market”. * If you consistently take **worse odds than the close**, you are usually paying too much (at inefficient prices). #### CLEV (CLV without the margin) Odds include a bookmaker margin (vig). **CLEV** is a variant of CLV that removes the margin so the comparison focuses on the underlying market probability rather than the bookmaker’s edge. On Bet2Invest, CLEV is used to better isolate **pure market efficiency**. {% hint style="info" %} In simple terms: **CLV tells you if you beat the closing price**; **CLEV tells you if you beat the closing price after removing the bookmaker margin**. {% endhint %} *** ### Why CLV/CLEV are so important #### 1) Results are noisy, CLV is a process metric Short‑term yield is heavily impacted by variance: * a good strategy can lose money for weeks * a bad strategy can look “great” for 30–50 bets CLV/CLEV measure the **quality of your entries**, not the outcomes of a small sample. {% hint style="success" %} Winning is not the same as having an edge. **Beating the closing line consistently** is often considered one of the strongest signs of edge in sports betting. {% endhint %} #### 2) The closing line is the best public benchmark In sharp markets, the closing line reflects: * the aggregation of information (injuries, lineups, motivation, weather…) * liquidity and sharp action * market efficiency improving over time If your prices are better than the close over a large sample, it suggests your model/timing/information tends to be ahead of the market. #### 3) It helps you build and refine strategies CLV/CLEV are actionable: * if your CLV is negative, you may need to bet earlier, change leagues, change market types, or stop chasing steam. * if your CLV is positive but results are negative, it often means variance (or a sample that is still too small). *** ### How to interpret CLV/CLEV There are multiple ways to express CLV. Regardless of the exact format, the interpretation is the same: * **Positive CLV / CLEV** = you beat the market closing price on average. * **Negative CLV / CLEV** = you take worse prices than the close on average. #### What matters most * **Sample size** – CLV becomes meaningful after **hundreds of bets**. * **Liquidity** – low-liquidity markets move more and can make CLV easier to achieve but harder to scale. * **Consistency** – stable, repeatable CLV is a stronger signal than occasional spikes. To understand why liquidity matters, see [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices). *** ### Common misconceptions (important) #### “Positive CLV guarantees profit” No. Even with a real edge, you can run bad for a long time. CLV increases the probability of long‑term profitability, but it does not remove variance. #### “CLV is everything” Also no. CLV can be misleading if: * you bet markets with **very low liquidity** (easy to move) * you cherry-pick markets or timing in a way that can’t be replicated Bet2Invest therefore looks at CLV/CLEV alongside other indicators (volume, yield, drawdown, liquidity…). *** ### How this fits into Bet2Invest When you place bets inside a Bet2Invest bankroll, the platform can later compute: * the **closing odds** on Pinnacle * your **CLV** and **CLEV** * additional market context (margin, line movement, etc.) This is one of the reasons Bet2Invest relies on Pinnacle as a reference: it makes strategies comparable on a consistent and efficient market. If you haven’t yet, see [Analyze Pinnacle Markets](/getting-started/get-started/analyze-pinnacle-markets) to understand how to browse markets and start tracking your own. # Best practices **Managing bankrolls correctly is one of the most important skills in betting**. A healthy bankroll protects you from emotional decisions, keeps your stakes consistent, and allows you to evaluate strategies objectively.\ This page outlines the best practices to follow when using bankrolls on Bet2Invest. These good practices apply to you even if you are just following [Experts](/experts/whats-an-expert) or actually trying to build a strategy. ## 1. Treat your Bankroll Like an Investment Your bankroll is not for experimenting recklessly or chasing losses. It should be handled with the same seriousness as an investment portfolio. {% hint style="info" %} Every bankroll represents a strategy. Protect it, track it, and maintain stable rules. {% endhint %} Avoid mixing personal money with bankroll money. This prevents emotional decisions and makes your performance trackable. ## 2. Use Units Consistently The core rule of bankroll management is consistency. On Bet2Invest, each bet is expressed in units, not currency. **Most of the time, 1 unit is 1% of your bankroll.** **In 99% of the cases, you should use 1 unit for each bet, independently of your "trust".** {% hint style="danger" %} Never increase your unit size because you “feel confident” about a pick. Confidence is not an edge. This will lead to poor bankroll management, and Bet2Invest will refrain from recommending you. {% endhint %} ## 3. Understand Variance and Loosing Streaks All profitable strategies include downturns. Losing streaks are normal. {% hint style="success" %} A good strategy is not one that avoids losses. It is one that survives them and recovers over time. {% endhint %} Do not shrink or increase your unit size in reaction to short-term outcomes. Stick to your plan. ## 4. Judge a strategy only after sufficient volume A bankroll with only 20 or 50 bets tells you nothing. Real evaluation happens over **hundreds or thousands of bets**. Betting is a long-term activity. A bankroll needs time to reveal its true edge. Instead of asking “Is this strategy good?” after 30 bets, ask:\ • Is the staking consistent?\ • Is the CLV/CLEV positive over a decent sample?\ • Is the ROI stable when it reaches 300, 500 or 1000 bets? ## 5. Use Sharp Operators, Not Recreational Ones We're not here to help you find the best bookmaker, but using the right one is a **fundamental best practice;** especially before following experts, building strategies, or interpreting your bankroll results. Most bettors lose money simply because they bet with operators that make winning mathematically impossible. {% hint style="danger" %} If you use a bookmaker with high margins, your strategy can be profitable on paper but unprofitable in reality. {% endhint %} {% columns %} {% column %} **Sharp Operators** • Low margins\ • High liquidity\ • Don’t limit winning players\ • Provide true market prices\ • Ideal for long-term strategies {% endcolumn %} {% column %} **Recreational Operators** • Very high margins\ • Boosts and traps to attract losing bettors\ • Fast and permanent account limitations\ • Unstable or delayed odds\ • Impossible to scale a profitable strategy {% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} Bet2Invest relies on Pinnacle for certified odds, market data, and automated betting features. Pinnacle, in our view, is the **most efficient and reliable pricing source in the betting industry**, and this makes it the only realistic foundation for a transparent, data-driven platform like Bet2Invest. ## 6. The Liquidity Really Matters Liquidity is one of the **most underestimated** factors in betting, yet it affects *everything*: the odds you can take, the volume you can stake, the accuracy of your performance, and even whether a strategy is realistically followable. On Bet2Invest, liquidity is captured through *AMB* (Average Maximum Bet), which shows how much a market can absorb without crashing the price. {% columns %} {% column %} **For Followers** High liquidity means you can copy a tipster’s bets without losing value. \ Low liquidity means the price collapses before you can even place the bet. {% endcolumn %} {% column %} **For Experts (Tipsters)** A strategy is only truly scalable if many followers can take the same odds. \ Small markets = low follower capacity and inflated ROI that cannot be replicated. {% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} ### Quick Comparison | Market Type | Liquidity | Expert Impact | Follow Experience | | -------------------------------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Top Leagues (Premier League, NBA, NFL, etc.) | Very High | Hard to have a huge ROI, operator really confident | Really easy to follow, no odds drops | | Medium Leagues | Medium | Edge is somewhat scalable, with slightly high margins | Small slippage possible | | Niche Leagues / Player Props, etc. | Low | ROI looks great but fragile, really high margins | Hard to follow with the same prices, but often better ROIs | ## Final Advice Betting success depends far more on discipline and structure than on individual picks. Your bankroll is the foundation of your betting journey. Treat it professionally and your performance will reflect it. # How to sell my picks on Bet2Invest Bet2Invest allows any tipster to monetize their expertise by selling their picks directly on the platform. This guide explains how to unlock the Paid status, set up your pricing, and start earning. *** ### Paid vs. PRO: What's the difference? Bet2Invest has two paid statuses for tipsters: | | **Paid** | **PRO** | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | **How you get it** | Self-activated (one-time fee) | Granted by Bet2Invest based on performance | | **Pricing** | You set your own prices | Prices set automatically by Bet2Invest | | **Certification** | Not certified — you commit to the Tipster Charter | Certified by Bet2Invest | | **Visibility** | Visible on the platform | Featured and promoted on the platform | | **Requirements** | Accept the Charter + pay the activation fee | Meet performance thresholds (ROI, pick volume) | > **Important:** The Paid status does not imply endorsement by Bet2Invest. Subscribers are informed that Paid tipsters are independent and that Bet2Invest does not guarantee their results. *** ### Step 1: Accept the Tipster Charter Before activating, you must read and accept the **Tipster Charter**. Key commitments include: * Publish at least **15 picks per month** (for subscription-based selling) * Maintain **stable stake sizing** across your picks * Provide **well-reasoned picks** based on a defined strategy * **Never copy** picks from other tipsters * Accept that your status can be **revoked** if you violate the rules, with no refund *** ### Step 2: Pay the one-time activation fee A one-time, non-refundable payment of **€25** is required to unlock the Paid status. This fee ensures a serious commitment from tipsters who wish to sell their picks. The amount is automatically converted to your local currency based on your location. *** ### Step 3: Set your subscription price Once the payment is confirmed, you need to set your **monthly subscription price**: * **Minimum:** €10/month * **Maximum:** €500/month Your subscription allows followers to access all your picks for the duration of their subscription. > Your status remains **inactive** until you set a price. No one can subscribe to you until this step is complete.
*** ### Step 4: Configure pick packs (optional) In addition to subscriptions, you can offer **pick packs**; bundles of a fixed number of picks at a set price. #### Pack rules * You can create up to **7 different packs** * Price per pick must be between **€0.20** and **€5.00** * Larger packs must have a **lower or equal price per pick** than smaller packs (volume discount logic) * Minimum pack price: **€1** **Example:**
*** ### Step 5: Manage your status From your account settings (*Sell My Picks* tab), you can: * **Activate / Deactivate** your entire paid status, *disabling it cancels all active subscriber subscriptions* * **Toggle subscriptions on/off** independently from pick packs * **Toggle pick packs on/off** independently from subscriptions * **Update your prices** at any time > At least one of subscriptions or packs must remain active. You cannot disable both simultaneously. #### What happens when you deactivate? * Your status switches to **FREE** * All active subscriptions are **canceled** * You **keep your unlock**, you can re-enable at any time without paying the €25 fee again ### Upgrade From Paid to PRO When your account meets the criteria to be classified as "PRO" on B2I, it will automatically be upgraded to a "PRO" account. If your prices are below the PRO standards:\ \- Your prices will be adjusted to meet the PRO standards. If your prices are higher than what the PRO level offers and you have subscribers:\ \- Your prices will remain unchanged. If you do not have subscribers, your prices will be reduced. If you wish to maintain your current prices, please contact the Bet2Invest team. *** ### Revenue & Payouts Bet2Invest takes a commission on each payment received from your subscribers. * Prices are configured in **EUR** and automatically converted to the subscriber's currency * You have the choice for the payouts between: Bank Transfer, Cryptocurrencies or PayPal. *** ### Revocation An administrator can **permanently revoke** your Paid status if you violate the Tipster Charter. Revocation: * Cancels all active subscriptions * Permanently restricts your account from re-activating the Paid status * Is **not refundable** # Paid Tipster Charter Every tipster who wishes to sell picks on Bet2Invest must read, understand, and accept the following charter before activating their Paid status. This charter exists to protect subscribers and maintain the quality and integrity of the platform. *** ### Your commitments By activating the Paid status, you agree to the following: #### 1. Respect the Terms of Service You commit to respecting Bet2Invest's general terms of use and terms of sale at all times. Violation of any platform rule may lead to the revocation of your Paid status. #### 2. Publish regularly You commit to publishing **at least 15 picks per month** on Bet2Invest. This requirement applies to subscription-based selling - subscribers expect consistent activity from the tipsters they pay for. > If you need a break, use the **Season Break** feature to temporarily pause your activity without losing your status. #### 3. Maintain stable staking You commit to maintaining **stable and consistent stake sizing** across your picks. Erratic staking (e.g., suddenly betting 10 units after a losing streak) undermines trust and is grounds for review. #### 4. Provide reasoned picks You commit to providing **well-thought-out picks** based on a defined strategy. Picks should reflect genuine analysis, not random selections. You are not required to share your reasoning publicly, but your track record should reflect a coherent approach. #### 5. Accept the pricing policy You accept Bet2Invest's pricing policy, including: * Subscription prices between **€10 and €500/month** * Pick pack prices with a per-pick cost between **€0.20 and €5.00** * Bet2Invest's commission on all subscriber payments. #### 6. Understand that your status can be revoked You understand that your Paid status may be **permanently revoked** by Bet2Invest administrators if you fail to respect the rules outlined in this charter. Revocation cancels all active subscriptions and permanently restricts your account. #### 7. Never copy other tipsters Copying picks from other tipsters - whether on Bet2Invest or external platforms - is **strictly prohibited** and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of your Paid status. #### 8. No refund upon revocation You accept that **no refund** of the activation fee will be issued if your Paid status is revoked for non-compliance with this charter. *** ### What Bet2Invest guarantees * **Fair enforcement:** Rules are applied consistently to all Paid tipsters * **Transparency:** You will be informed of the reason for any action taken on your account * **Tools to succeed:** Access to pricing settings, analytics, and subscriber management tools * **Subscriber protection:** Subscribers are clearly informed that Paid tipsters are not certified by Bet2Invest and that results are not guaranteed *** ### What Bet2Invest does NOT guarantee * Your profitability or the profitability of your subscribers * A minimum number of subscribers or revenue * Protection against negative reviews or subscriber churn # Why Go Paid? The Paid status exists for one reason: **let you start earning immediately, without waiting months to qualify for PRO.** *** ### The problem it solves To become a PRO tipster on Bet2Invest, you need to meet strict performance criteria - including a minimum of **400 tracked picks on Pinnacle** with a positive ROI. For most tipsters, that means months of free activity before earning a single euro. This is a real barrier for two types of people: #### Tipsters who already have a community You may already be selling picks on Telegram, Discord, or another platform. You have followers, you have a track record - but on Bet2Invest, you're starting from zero. The Paid status lets you **bring your audience to B2I and start monetizing immediately** while you build your on-platform history. #### Tipsters who don't want to wait Maybe you're confident in your analysis and don't want to spend 6 months posting for free before you can charge. The Paid status lets you **skip the queue** and start selling from day one, while your picks accumulate toward PRO eligibility. *** ### Paid is the path to PRO The Paid status is not the destination - it's the **fast lane to PRO**. Here's how it works in practice: 1. You activate Paid and start selling picks immediately 2. Your picks are tracked on Bet2Invest just like any other tipster 3. Once you hit the PRO criteria (ROI, pick volume, consistency), Bet2Invest upgrades you automatically Consider this new "Paid" status as a **way to monetize your picks while waiting to go PRO**, rather than staying on the bench. *** ### What PRO gives you that Paid doesn't Once you reach PRO, you unlock significant advantages: | | **Paid** | **PRO** | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Commission** | Standard rate | Reduced commission - you keep more | | **B2I Pro Tools** | Not included | Full access for free (opening odds notifications, and at lot more coming...) | | **Platform visibility** | Listed like any tipster | Featured placement and promotion by Bet2Invest | | **Certification badge** | No certification | Certified PRO badge - builds trust instantly | | **Pricing** | You set your own prices | Optimized pricing set by Bet2Invest based on your performance | | **Subscriber trust** | Warning shown to subscribers | Endorsed by Bet2Invest: no warning | In short: **PRO tipsters earn more, are seen by more people, and convert subscribers at a higher rate** because the platform actively promotes them. *** ### The typical journey ``` Free → Paid → PRO ``` 1. **Free:** You join Bet2Invest, post your picks, build a track record 2. **Paid:** You activate selling early: your picks keep counting toward PRO 3. **PRO:** Bet2Invest recognizes your performance and upgrades you automatically *** ### Who should NOT go Paid The Paid status is not for everyone. If you: * Have no track record at all and haven't analyzed sports seriously * Expect guaranteed income without consistent effort * Are not willing to publish at least 15 picks per month Then the Paid status is probably not for you yet. Focus on building a free track record first, learn how the platform works, and activate Paid when you're ready to commit seriously. *** ### Key takeaway The Paid status is a **bridge, not a ceiling.** It lets you start earning while you work toward PRO — where the real advantages are. The sooner you start building your track record on Bet2Invest, the sooner you'll get there. # Commission & Revenue When a subscriber pays for your picks, Bet2Invest takes a platform commission on each transaction. You receive the remainder, your **net revenue**. This page explains how the commission works, how it evolves, and what you actually earn. *** ### How commission works Every time a subscriber pays for your subscription or purchases a pick pack, Bet2Invest deducts a commission from the gross amount. The rest is sent to you. **Example:** > A subscriber pays €30/month. With a 67% commission rate, you receive €20.10/month (before VAT) from that subscriber. When you are "Paid", the commission rate is not fixed, it decreases as you gain more active subscribers. *** ### Commission tiers Your commission rate is determined by your number of **active paying subscribers** at any given time: | Active subscribers | Your share | | ------------------ | ---------- | | 0 – 3 | **55%** | | 4 – 7 | **60%** | | 8 and above | **67%** | | ⭐️ **PRO Status** | **67%** | The rate updates **automatically** each time a new subscriber joins. If you lose subscribers and drop below a threshold, the rate adjusts accordingly. *** ### Why does commission increase with subscribers? The commission structure is designed to reward growth. A tipster who has built a real audience has proven their value, and Bet2Invest reflects that by taking a smaller cut. It also serves as an incentive: rather than raising your price prematurely, growing your subscriber base is another lever to increase your net revenue. *** ### Estimating your monthly earnings A simple way to think about your net revenue (before VAT): ``` Net revenue = subscription price × active subscribers × commission rate ``` **Examples at €30/month subscription:** | Subscribers | Commission rate | Gross/month | /month before VAT | | ----------- | --------------- | ----------- | ----------------- | | 2 | 55% | €60 | **€33** | | 5 | 60% | €150 | **€90** | | 10 | 67% | €300 | **€201** | | 25 | 67% | €750 | **€502** | | 50 | 67% | €1,500 | **€1,005** | *** ### Pick pack commissions The same commission tiers apply to pick pack purchases. If a subscriber buys a 10-pick pack at €15 and your current rate is 60%, you receive €9. *** ### Key takeaways 1. **You start at 55%** and rise to **67%** as you gain subscribers, no action required. 2. **Growing your audience increases your earnings twice over**: more subscribers at a higher rate. 3. **Pick packs follow the same commission structure** as subscriptions. # What's an expert? On Bet2Invest, an **Expert** (also called a *tipster,* *capper or handicapper*) is someone who shares a **structured, data‑driven betting strategy** through one or more public bankrolls so that others can follow it. An Expert is **not** someone who just posts random bets or “locks of the day”. They are expected to think long term, manage variance, and treat betting like an investment process, not like gambling. *** ### What an Expert is on Bet2Invest An Expert on Bet2Invest: * **Runs at least one tracked bankroll**\ All bets are recorded inside a [bankroll](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll), with transparent history, certified odds, dates, and results. * **Uses units, not random stakes**\ Stakes are expressed in **units**, not in money, following our [unit system](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit).\ This avoids emotional over-staking and makes performance comparable across bankrolls. * **Targets sharp markets with a real edge**\ Experts try to beat efficient markets by finding small but consistent edges, often visible through **CLV/CLEV** and long‑term yield. * **Thinks about market liquidity for followers**\ In the best conditions, an Expert focuses on markets with **enough liquidity** so that followers can realistically obtain similar odds and stakes without excessively moving the lines. * **Accepts variance and thinks in samples**\ They understand that even with an edge, results can be negative for weeks or months.\ Their decisions are based on probabilities and long‑term performance, not on the last few bets. * **Lets the numbers speak**\ Their performance is evaluated through objective metrics (yield, CLV/CLEV, sample size, drawdown, liquidity, etc.), summarized later by our [Rating System](/experts/rating-system). Some Experts are additionally labeled as **Certified Experts (PROs)**, meaning they meet internal Bet2Invest quality and reliability criteria described in [Requirements](/experts/pro-requirements). {% hint style="info" %} On Bet2Invest, “Expert”, “tipster”, and “capper” refer to the same role.\ We use **Expert** as the default term in the product and documentation. {% endhint %} *** ### What an Expert is **not** To avoid unrealistic expectations, it is important to be clear about what an Expert is **not**: * **Not a guarantee of profit**\ Even the best Experts experience [variance](/bankrolls/whats-variance). Losing streaks and drawdowns are inevitable. * **Not a financial advisor**\ Experts share opinions and strategies about sports betting. They do **not** provide personalized financial advice. * **Not above discipline**\ Experts are expected to respect bankroll management and fixed‑unit staking just like followers. Chasing losses or manipulating stakes goes against the spirit of Bet2Invest. {% hint style="warning" %} If someone promises “guaranteed wins” or unrealistic returns, they are **not** acting as a Bet2Invest Expert, even if they call themselves a tipster elsewhere. {% endhint %} *** ### How Experts operate on Bet2Invest 1. **They create and manage bankrolls**\ Each strategy is tracked through a dedicated bankroll, which stores every pick with its odds, stake (in units), and result. 2. **They publish tips via the Bet2Invest interface**\ Experts enter their picks directly on a Bet2Invest screen that is similar to bookmaker interfaces. Odds and markets are taken live from Pinnacle, **cannot be manually edited or faked**, and once a tip is confirmed it becomes immutable in the history. Results are automatically graded and filled by Bet2Invest based on official outcomes, following [Pinnacle betting rules](https://www.pinnacle.com/en/future/betting-rules). 3. **They publish picks in real time**\ Followers receive notifications and can choose to replicate the bets in their own accounts, either manually or using **auto-betting** if it is activated on their side (see [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting)). 4. **Bet2Invest tracks performance objectively**\ Metrics like yield, CLV/CLEV, liquidity (AMB), maximum drawdown, and sample size are updated over time and can be analysed in [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls). 5. **They are evaluated and rated**\ Bet2Invest’s [Rating System](/experts/rating-system) combines all major metrics into a single, easier‑to‑read score. 6. **They may be included in curated offers**\ The best and most scalable Experts can be selected into curated products like **B2I One**, so that users can follow a diversified group of Experts without having to choose each one manually. *** ### What you should expect from an Expert When you follow an Expert on Bet2Invest, you should expect: * **Transparency** – full, unedited history of picks and results. * **Consistency** – clear rules, fixed units, and a stable approach over time. * **Realistic variance** – swings up and down, including long losing streaks, are normal. * **Long‑term focus** – performance judged over hundreds or thousands of bets, not a few days. Your role as a follower is to: * Set your own [bankroll](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll) and [unit size](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit). * Respect your staking rules and avoid emotional changes. * Understand that **variance is part of the journey**, even with strong Experts. Handled correctly, Experts give you **access to professional‑level strategies** and tracking, while you stay in control of your risk and decisions. # How to Place Tips on Bet2Invest On Bet2Invest, you can publish tips through a **bookmaker-like interface** (event search, market selection, odds, stake), while keeping a fully tracked history inside your bankroll.
*** ### Before you start Make sure you have: * A Bet2Invest account (logged in) * At least one bankroll (public or private) to record the tip in * Your staking approach defined in **units** (see [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit)) {% hint style="info" %} Everyone can post tips on Bet2Invest. Your **track record** (sample size, yield, CLV/CLEV, etc.) is what determines whether you may later qualify as a **PRO Expert**. {% endhint %} *** ## Step-by-step: placing a tip {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Open the “Virtual Betting” interface Throughout the website, you can click on "Bet" to access the "Virtual Betting" interface. This name serves as a reminder to all users that real money cannot be wagered. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Select the event (match) you want to bet on 1. Choose the **sport**. 2. Search for the **competition/league** or directly for the **teams/players**. 3. Select the correct event from the list.
{% hint style="warning" %} Double-check the event **date/time** and that you selected the correct competition (many teams have similar names). {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Choose your market and selection 1. Browse the available **markets** (e.g., Moneyline / 1X2, Handicap, Totals, Props…). 2. Click your **selection** to add it to your tip.
{% hint style="info" %} Bet2Invest uses bookmaker-grade market data (e.g., Pinnacle). You **select** odds from the available markets rather than typing custom odds. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Review odds and tip details In the tip, confirm: * **Selection** is correct * **Odds** shown match what you intend to take {% hint style="warning" %} Once a tip is published, it is meant to reflect a real, timestamped pick. Picks are immutable; they cannot be updated, even by an admin\*. *\*the only case where an admin can update your pick is if there is a clear bug.* {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Choose the bankroll and set your stake (in units) 1. Select the **bankroll** where this tip will be tracked. 2. Enter your stake in **units** (example: `1U`, `1.5U`, `2U`). By default, stakes are available in **0.25U increments** (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, … up to 10). If you need different unit sizes for a specific strategy, see [Unit Increments & Limits](/bankrolls/unit-increments-and-limits). {% hint style="info" %} Using consistent staking (mostly 1–3 units) makes your results easier to analyse and more trustworthy for followers. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### (Optional) Add your analysis / reasoning If the interface allows it, add: * A short **rationale** (why you like the bet) * Key numbers / edge (pricing, model %, matchup notes) * Any relevant context (injuries, schedule, line movement) {% hint style="success" %} Clear reasoning helps followers understand your strategy and makes your long-term track record more credible. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Publish / confirm the tip 1. Re-check everything one last time. 2. Click **Confirm / Publish**. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** ### After publishing: where to find your tip Once published, your tip should appear in: * The selected **bankroll active bets** * Your profile/feed (depending on your visibility settings) To understand how and when tips are graded, see [How Picks Are Settled](/experts/how-picks-are-settled).
*** ### Important notes (read this) * **Tips are timestamped and tracked** to keep performance analysis meaningful. * For long-term quality, focus on: * sample size (hundreds of tips) * disciplined units * liquid markets (so followers can reproduce odds) * CLV/CLEV over time (see [Why CLV & CLEV Matter](/bankrolls/why-clv-and-clev-matter)) {% hint style="warning" %} If you published a tip by mistake (wrong event/side/stake), do **not** try to “fix” it by changing your staking rules afterward. Tips are immutable and cannot be changed even by admins. {% endhint %} *** ### Troubleshooting #### I can’t find my event * Check spelling (teams/players) * Try searching by league/competition first * Confirm the event is offered on Pinnacle #### The odds changed before I confirmed This is normal in live markets. Re-check the price and only publish if you accept the new odds. #### I don’t see the tip in my bankroll * Make sure you selected the correct bankroll when publishing * Refresh the bankroll page * If it still doesn’t show, contact support with the event name and time you published the tip # How Picks Are Settled Bet2Invest settles (grades) tips **automatically** using **official results from Pinnacle**. This ensures that results are **consistent**, **timestamped**, and based on the same source used for the market data.
*** ### How settlement works When an event finishes, Bet2Invest: 1. Retrieves the **official result** for the event from Pinnacle. 2. Applies the relevant settlement logic based on the market type (for example: final score, number of points/goals/sets, etc.). 3. Marks the tip as one of the standard outcomes (for example: **Won**, **Lost**, **Refunded**, or **Voided** where applicable). {% hint style="info" %} For the underlying grading definitions (refunds, cancellations, rescheduled events, etc.), Bet2Invest aligns with [Pinnacle betting rules](https://www.pinnacle.com/en/future/betting-rules). {% endhint %} *** ### How long does it take? Most tips are settled within **5 minutes to a few hours** after the event is finished. Delays can happen, for example when: * the event is not marked as “final” yet * official data is delayed * a market requires extra confirmation (cancellations, abnormal endings, etc.) {% hint style="success" %} In normal conditions, you don’t need to do anything—settlement is fully automatic. {% endhint %} *** ### Cancellations, postponements, and abnormal endings If an event is cancelled, postponed, or otherwise not completed as expected, the tip outcome is determined automatically based on the official status and grading rules. Typical outcomes you may see: * **Void / Cancelled** * **Pending** (until the official status changes)
*** ### What if there is an error? While settlement is automated, **errors can happen** (for example: incorrect official status, late corrections, or edge cases). When this occurs: * our admins can review the settlement * incorrect settlements are **fixed** once identified {% hint style="info" %} Bet2Invest tips are meant to be immutable (selection/odds/stake history). Admin interventions are limited to fixing **clear issues** such as a settlement bug or incorrect grading. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} If you believe a tip has been settled incorrectly, contact support with: * event name * market/selection * the timestamp of the tip * what you believe the correct settlement should be This allows the team to verify it quickly. {% endhint %} # Rating System Bet2Invest uses a **unified rating system** to help you quickly understand how strong and reliable an Expert (tipster) is. Instead of looking at dozens of metrics yourself, you can use the rating as a **shortcut** to compare Experts – while still having full access to detailed stats when you want to dig deeper. For context on what an Expert is and how to analyse their bankrolls, see: * [What's an expert?](/experts/whats-an-expert) * [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls) *** ### 1. Rating scale and when it appears Our rating is a **single grade between 0 and 5**: * **0** = failed / not investable based on our rules * **5** = excellent, highly reliable based on our metrics To avoid ratings based on too little data: * An Expert receives their **first rating at 200 tips**. * Before 200 tips, you will **not** see a rating. You must rely on the raw stats and your own judgement. {% hint style="info" %} The rating is **always about behaviour over a large sample**, not about a short hot streak. {% endhint %} *** ### 2. Why the exact formula is not public The rating combines many factors into a single score. To protect the integrity of the system and **prevent bad actors from gaming it**, the **exact calculation formula is intentionally kept secret**. What this means: * You **know which metrics matter** (listed below). * You **do not know the exact weights or precise thresholds**. This is by design: * It makes it much harder to artificially optimise only for the rating while ignoring real performance or follower experience. * It keeps the focus on **building a robust, scalable strategy**, which naturally leads to a better rating. *** ### 3. Key metrics used in the rating The rating considers a wide range of statistics. The most important ones are: 1. **Yield / Average Odds (together)** 2. **Number of Bets** 3. **Units Variance (stake consistency)** 4. **Liquidity** 5. **CLV / CLEV** 6. **Flat Stakes Profits** 7. **Other secondary metrics** (less important but still used) Below is a high‑level explanation of each one. #### 3.1 Yield & Average Odds (work together) * **Yield** measures profitability: profit in units / total staked units. * **Average odds** indicate how volatile the strategy is. We look at these **together**: * A given yield is **more impressive** if it is achieved at **lower average odds** (harder to beat very efficient, low‑odds markets). * Very high yield at extremely high odds may be **less sustainable** and more volatile. In practice, stable positive yield over a large number of bets, with reasonable odds, is a **very strong signal**. #### 3.2 Number of Bets Sample size matters. A bankroll with only 50 bets tells you almost nothing. * More bets → **more reliable** metrics and rating. * The rating grows in confidence as the Expert reaches several **hundreds or thousands of bets**. This is why we only start rating from **200 tips**. #### 3.3 Units Variance (stake consistency) On Bet2Invest, strategies are supposed to follow **flat or near‑flat stakes** (for example always 1 unit, or small controlled variations). * **Flat stake = better** for the rating. * Large, frequent stake changes (**high unit variance**) are seen as a risk and can hurt the rating. This protects users against: * Artificially boosted results by making a few very large bets. * Emotional staking (chasing losses or over‑betting on “confident” picks). To understand units, see [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit). #### 3.4 Liquidity A strategy is only useful if followers can **actually replicate it**. We therefore incorporate **liquidity** (for example via AMB – Average Maximum Bet) into the rating: * High liquidity markets → easier for many followers to get similar odds. * Low liquidity, niche markets → great ROI may be difficult to copy in practice. Experts who operate in **scalable, liquid markets** are rewarded, because their performance is more realistic for followers. See [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices) for more on liquidity. #### 3.5 CLV / CLEV **CLV (Closing Line Value)** and **CLEV** (CLV without the bookmaker margin) measure whether an Expert consistently beats the market closing price. * Positive CLEV is one of the **strongest indicators** of true edge. * Even if short‑term results are unlucky, a strategy that beats the closing line over time is very promising. #### 3.6 Flat Stakes Profits We also look at the **profit in units** assuming **flat stakes** (for example, always 1 unit per bet), independent of any minor stake changes. * This shows whether the strategy would still be profitable **without any staking tricks**. * It is an important safety check against manipulation by changing stakes. #### 3.7 Other, secondary metrics The system also considers other metrics (less important individually) such as: * Drawdowns and volatility patterns * Distribution of odds * And other proprietary checks These help refine the rating but are **secondary** compared to the main metrics above. *** ### 4. Automatic 0 rating rules Some situations are considered **automatic failures**, regardless of other metrics. If either of these conditions is true: * **Yield < 0%** * **Flat stakes profit < 0 units** (strategy loses money with flat 1U staking) Then the **rating is automatically set to 0**. This ensures that: * Strategies that are **not profitable at all** do not get a positive rating. * Short‑term luck with strange staking cannot hide a fundamentally losing edge. {% hint style="danger" %} If an Expert’s yield is negative or their flat‑stake profit is below 0 units, their grade is **0**, no matter what other metrics say. {% endhint %} *** ### 5. Sorting and how to use the rating By default, **Experts are sorted by their rating**. * Higher‑rated Experts appear **first** in lists. * Lower‑rated or unrated Experts appear **later**. You should use the rating as a **starting point**, not as the only decision factor: 1. Use the **rating** to quickly shortlist a few promising Experts. 2. Then open their bankroll(s) and review the detailed stats using the guidance in [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls). 3. Consider your own **risk tolerance, variance preferences, and favourite sports/markets**. Handled correctly, the rating system helps you **focus your attention** on strategies that are both **statistically strong and realistically followable**, without needing to reverse‑engineer every metric yourself. # How to appear in the leaderboard? The leaderboard highlights the top 5 tipsters of the moment, updated automatically based on your activity over the **last 30 days**. There is no manual curation: either you meet the criteria, or you don't. *** ### Eligibility criteria To be considered for the leaderboard, you must meet all three conditions over the rolling 30-day window: #### 1. At least 60 settled bets You need a minimum of **60 settled bets** in the last 30 days. Pending or cancelled bets do not count. This threshold ensures the leaderboard only features tipsters with enough volume to produce statistically meaningful results. #### 2. Flat yield ≥ 4 % Your **flat-stake yield** must be at least 4 %. Flat yield is calculated as if every single bet was placed at exactly the same stake. This removes the influence of stake sizing and measures your raw picking edge. {% hint style="info" %} A flat yield of 4 % means that for every 100 bets at 1 unit, you return 4 units of profit. {% endhint %} #### 3. Consistent staking The difference between your largest and smallest stake over the period must be **3 units or less**. You can vary your stakes slightly, but the spread must stay tight. | Stakes used | Difference | Eligible | | ----------- | ---------- | -------- | | 1U – 3U | 2 | ✅ Yes | | 1U – 4U | 3 | ✅ Yes | | 1U – 5U | 4 | ❌ No | | 7U – 10U | 3 | ✅ Yes | | 5U – 10U | 5 | ❌ No | This rule exists to ensure the leaderboard reflects genuine picking skill, not selective stake sizing. ### How ranking works Among all eligible tipsters, the leaderboard is sorted by **flat-stake profit**; the total profit generated over the last 30 days at a flat stake. $$ \text{Flat profit} = \text{Flat yield} \times \text{Number of bets} $$ This means **volume and consistency are rewarded alongside yield**. A tipster with 200 bets at 4% flat yield (= 8U profit) ranks above one with 60 bets at 5% flat yield (= 3U profit). | Tipster | Bets | Flat Yield | Flat Profit | Ranked | | ------- | ---- | ---------- | ----------- | ------ | | A | 200 | 4% | **8U** | 🥇 1st | | B | 100 | 6% | **6U** | 🥈 2nd | | C | 60 | 5% | **3U** | 🥉 3rd | ### Summary | Criterion | Requirement | | --------------------------- | -------------------------- | | Settled bets (last 30 days) | ≥ 60 | | Flat yield (last 30 days) | ≥ 4 % | | Stake consistency | Max − min stake ≤ 3U | | Ranking metric | Flat profit (yield × bets) | | Spots available | Top 5 | # PRO Requirements Discover how to become an expert on Bet2Invest and understand the necessary requirements. # How PRO Experts Get Paid Bet2Invest allows **PRO Experts** to monetize their strategies in a transparent, rules‑based way. This page explains **how much** you earn and **how revenue is shared** across: * Individual subscriptions * Picks by Package * B2I One (curated group of experts) To understand how to become a PRO Expert in the first place, see [Become a PRO Expert](/getting-started/get-started/become-a-pro-expert) and [Requirements](/experts/pro-requirements). *** ### 1. Revenue Share Overview When a user pays to access your tips (individually or through a group offer), the money is split between **you** and **Bet2Invest**. * **67%** of the subscription price is reserved for **PRO Experts**. * **33%** is kept by **Bet2Invest**. This 67/33 split is applied consistently across: * Individual expert subscriptions * Picks by Package offers * B2I One plans The only difference between products is **how the expert share is split between experts**. *** ### 2. Individual Expert Subscriptions An **individual subscription** is when a user pays specifically to follow **you**. * The user chooses your profile and subscribes directly to your bankroll. * For each paying subscriber, you receive **67% of the subscription price** associated with that product. **Example** * A user pays **€60** to follow you individually. * The **expert share** is 67% of €60 / 1.2 (VAT) = **€33.50**. * Since you are the only expert in this product, **you receive the full €33.50**. Your revenue from individual subscriptions scales directly with: * The **number of subscribers** you have. * The **price level** of your individual plan. *** ### 3. Picks by Package **Picks by Package** is an option where users are buying tips by group (example: buying 50 tips a time). When a user buys a package: 1. The user pays the **package price**. 2. **67% of that price** is allocated to the Expert. 3. Only shared tips are counted. If a user purchased 50 tips and you only provided 25 tips in a month, you will be paid for half. The remaining balance will be paid the following month. *** ### 4. B2I One (Curated Group Subscription) [B2I One](/follow-experts/easiest-way-to-follow-experts) is Bet2Invest’s flagship product for followers: an **all‑in‑one curated group of top experts** bundled with Premium features. From an expert’s perspective, B2I One works similarly to Subscriptions: 1. Bet2Invest selects a **set of PRO Experts** for each B2I One plan (Beginner, Investor, Whale, etc.). 2. A user pays the **B2I One price** for their chosen plan. 3. **67% of that price** is allocated to the **experts included in that plan**. 4. That expert share is **split equally** between all included experts. **Example** * A B2I One *Investor* plan costs **€120** per period and includes **3 PRO Experts**. * 67% of €120 / 1.2 (VAT) = **€67** goes to experts. * The split per expert is €67 / 3 = **€22.50** each. The more B2I One subscribers there are, and the more plans you are included in, the more recurring revenue you receive from this channel. *** ### 5. Putting It All Together As a PRO Expert, your total revenue can come from **several sources at the same time**: * Direct followers via **individual subscriptions or picks packages**. * Selection into **B2I One** plans. All of these use the **same 67% expert share**, only the **splitting rules** change: * **Individual subscription** → 67% goes to **you**. * **Package / B2I One** → 67% is **shared equally** between all included experts. This structure is designed so that: * You are rewarded fairly when users choose to follow **you specifically**. * You still benefit when Bet2Invest promotes you inside **bundled products** that attract broader audiences. For details on how prices themselves are chosen, see [How Expert Prices Are Defined](/experts/how-expert-prices-are-defined). # How Expert Prices Are Defined Expert pricing on Bet2Invest is designed to be **fair for followers** and **rewarding for PRO Experts**, while staying consistent with our data‑driven philosophy. This page explains how prices are defined for: * Individual expert subscriptions * Picks by Package * B2I One plans If you want to understand how you are paid once a price is set, see [How PRO Experts Get Paid](/experts/how-pro-experts-get-paid). *** ### 1. Who Sets the Prices? On Bet2Invest, **Bet2Invest defines the final prices** of public offers, sometimes in discussion with PRO Experts. We do this to ensure that prices: * Match the **real quality and scalability** of the strategy. * Remain **coherent** across all experts and products. * Offer **clear value** to followers, especially in bundled products like Packages and B2I One. *** ### 2. Main Criteria Used to Define Prices Prices are not random. They are based on a combination of **objective metrics** and **practical constraints**. #### a. Track Record & Rating We primarily look at: * **Sample size** (number of bets) * **Yield / ROI** over a long period * **CLV / CLEV** (ability to beat the market and the bookmaker margin) * **Maximum drawdown and volatility** These factors are summarised in our [Rating System](/experts/rating-system).\ In general, **higher and more stable ratings** justify **higher price tiers**. #### b. Liquidity & Scalability A strategy that operates mostly on **high‑liquidity markets** (top leagues, main lines) can realistically be followed by more users without killing the odds. * High liquidity & scalable → can justify **higher or broader pricing**. * Very low liquidity & fragile markets → may justify **more conservative pricing**, even with high ROI, because followers cannot always copy the odds. See [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices) for more on liquidity. {% hint style="danger" %} Sometimes very low liquidity can lead to a high price to prevent the PRO Expert from gaining too many followers. {% endhint %} #### c. Variance & Risk Profile Two experts with the same yield can have very different **risk profiles**: * Lower odds, smoother equity curve, smaller drawdowns. * Very high odds, big swings, large drawdowns. More volatile strategies are often **harder to follow emotionally** and may be priced accordingly, especially in beginner‑oriented products. #### d. Demand and Positioning We also consider how an expert fits into the overall **Bet2Invest catalogue**: * Is the strategy **unique** (niche markets, special modelling approach)? * Is there already a similar expert at a similar price tier? * How much **follower demand** is there for this type of strategy? Prices aim to reflect not only performance but also **market positioning**. *** ### 3. Price Evolution Over Time Prices are **not fixed forever**. They can evolve when: * Your **performance improves or degrades** significantly. * Your strategy becomes **more or less scalable** (liquidity, follower capacity). * You are added to or removed from **B2I One plans**. Any price change aims to keep a **fair balance** between: * Rewarding PRO Experts for high‑quality, scalable strategies. * Giving followers **good value and realistic expectations**. If you are a PRO Expert and have questions or feedback about your pricing, you can contact Bet2Invest so we can review your situation in the context of these principles. # How to Analyze Pinnacle Odds on Event Markets On Bet2Invest, each event (match) comes with bookmaker-like market blocks (1X2, handicap, totals, props…) enriched with **Pinnacle odds history** and analysis layers. This page explains how to read: * **Odds evolution** (opening → closing) * **Implied probabilities** over time * **B2I tip distribution** on the selected market
*** ### Analyze odds evolution (opening → closing) For each selection, Bet2Invest shows a small **movement indicator** (the up/down evolution arrow). #### What to do 1. Find the market you want (e.g., **1X2**, **Handicap**, **Total**). 2. Look at the **arrow** next to the odds: * an **up** move typically means the price increased (implied probability decreased) * a **down** move typically means the price decreased (implied probability increased) 3. **Hover** the arrow to open the odds evolution details. Depending on the market, you can view the evolution in: * a **table** (discrete snapshots), and/or * a **chart** (visual timeline)
*** ### View implied probabilities (and how they change) Bet2Invest can show the **implied probabilities** behind Pinnacle odds. To open the implied probability view, you need to click on the little "chart icon" on the odds evolution popup.
#### What to look for * how much the probability moved from open → close * whether movements are **smooth** or **sudden** (often linked to news or liquidity moments) * whether multiple outcomes shift logically (e.g., if Team A probability rises, Team B typically drops)
{% hint style="warning" %} Implied probabilities are derived from odds. They are not “true probabilities”, but they are a strong proxy for how the market is pricing the event. {% endhint %} *** ### Compare with B2I tip distribution on the same market For the market you are viewing, you can also see the **B2I tip distribution**: an aggregated view of what the Bet2Invest community is picking on that selection. #### How to use it * Identify whether the crowd is heavily concentrated on one side * Compare crowd bias vs **line movement** * Use it as an extra signal (never as a guarantee) {% hint style="success" %} The best insight comes from combining: * sharp odds history (Pinnacle) * implied probabilities * and how tipsters are positioned This helps you think in terms of **pricing** and **expected value**, not only “predictions”. {% endhint %} *** ### Turn analysis into a measurable strategy Market reading becomes much more valuable when you track your decisions. * Place tips into a bankroll and evaluate them with **CLV/CLEV** over time. * Learn how to judge long-term results with variance in mind. Recommended reading: * [Why CLV & CLEV Matter](/bankrolls/why-clv-and-clev-matter) * [How to Analyse Bankrolls?](/follow-experts/how-to-analyse-bankrolls) * [How to Place Tips on Bet2Invest](/experts/how-to-place-tips-on-bet2invest) # Easiest way to Follow Experts Following experts can be difficult when you're faced with dozens of bankrolls, dozens of metrics, and a lot of uncertainty.

The main differences are **speed** and **limits**. *** ### Notification channels #### Telegram (recommended) Telegram is the **best way** to receive tips: * **Instant** delivery – tips usually arrive in your Telegram app as soon as the Expert posts them. * Works on **mobile and desktop**. * Easier to manage than a full inbox of emails. On Telegram, Bet2Invest sends you a message with the key details of each tip so you can place the bet. #### Email If you prefer, you can also receive tips by **email**: * Each new tip triggers an email with the same information as on the platform. * Useful if you regularly check email but don’t want to install Telegram. Email is slightly **slower and less convenient** than Telegram, especially if your mailbox is busy or filters are strict. *** ### Free vs Premium limits Bet2Invest applies different limits depending on your plan and the type of expert you follow. * **For PRO Experts** * **Unlimited email notifications**, even on the free plan. * **Unlimited Telegram notifications**, even on the free plan. * **For other experts (non‑PRO)** * **Free users** * Up to **30 email notifications** in total. * Up to **70 Telegram notifications** in total. * **Premium users** * **Unlimited** email notifications. * **Unlimited** Telegram notifications. {% hint style="info" %} You always have **unlimited notifications for PRO Experts** you follow, even if you are not Premium. The free limits only apply to notifications coming from **non‑PRO experts**. Upgrading to Premium removes these limits and gives you unlimited notifications for **all** experts. {% endhint %} *** ### How to configure Telegram notifications You can configure Telegram in the **“My Account”** section of Bet2Invest. Follow these steps: {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Open "My Account" Log into your Bet2Invest account and open **My Account** from your profile menu. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Go to Notifications / Telegram section In **My Account**, open the **Notifications** (or similar) section where you manage email and Telegram alerts.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Connect your Telegram account You will see an option to **connect Telegram**. Typical flow: 1. Click the "**Link To Telegram**" button. 2. A **Telegram bot** will open (in your app or browser). 3. Press **Start** in Telegram to authorize notifications. 4. Finally, click "**Here**" to return to Bet2Invest and confirm the procedure.
Once this is done, your Telegram account is linked to your Bet2Invest profile. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** ### Summary * You can receive tips by **Telegram** or **email**. * **Telegram** is recommended because it’s **instant** and easier to manage. * Notifications for **PRO Experts are always unlimited**, even on the free plan. * For non‑PRO experts, free users have **30 email** and **70 Telegram** notifications in total; **Premium** users have **unlimited** for all experts. * All notification settings (email + Telegram) are managed in **My Account → Notifications**, where you can also connect your Telegram account. # How to Analyse Bankrolls? Analyzing bankrolls properly is essential before following an [Expert](/experts/whats-an-expert). A [Bankroll](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll) shows the **true long-term performance** of a strategy: whether it is sustainable, scalable, and realistically followable. Bet2Invest provides certified data, liquidity metrics, and advanced statistics to help you evaluate experts with clarity and confidence. *** #### What Makes a Bankroll really Reliable? Below is a non-exhaustive list of reliability criteria:
FactorWhat It MeasuresWhy It Matters
Number of BetsSample sizeA bankroll needs ~400+ bets to reduce variance and reveal true performance. More = better.
YieldProfitabilityCore indicator of long-term edge. Must be positive and stable over large samples.
Liquidity (AMB)Market depthHigh liquidity means followers can reproduce odds. Low liquidity = hard strategy to follow.
Unit ConsistencyStake reliabilityUsing fixed units (1U, 2U, 3U max) avoids manipulation and keeps stats clean and comparable.
CLV / CLEVMarket efficiencyPositive CLEV is extremely strong: it proves the expert beats the market AND the bookmaker margin.
Average OddsVariance profileHigher odds = higher variance and longer swings. Helps followers understand volatility.
Maximum DrawdownVolatilityShows the worst downturn. Essential to understand emotional and financial stress over time.
{% hint style="info" %} ROI alone is not enough; liquidity, efficiency, and variance indicators are crucial. {% endhint %} *** ### Making It Easier: The Bet2Invest Rating System We know this is a lot of information for one person to analyse. That’s why Bet2Invest created a **unified** [**Rating System**](/experts/rating-system) that combines all the metrics above into a clear, readable evaluation. # What is Auto-betting? Auto-betting on Bet2Invest is an automation feature that lets you **replicate Experts’ tips directly on your own Pinnacle account**, with rules you control. It is similar to **copy-betting** (for now). In the future, it will evolve with more automation options and smarter execution features. *** ### What auto-betting does (and does not do) #### What it does When an Expert publishes a tip on Bet2Invest, auto-betting can: * read the tip in real time * check your personal constraints (stake, odds drop tolerance, market type, sport filters…) * place the equivalent bet **on your own Pinnacle account** * notify you with the final status (accepted / rejected / etc.) #### What it does **not** do (important disclosure) Auto-betting is **not** a betting wallet, a syndicate, or a fund. * Bet2Invest does **not** hold any betting bankroll for you. * Bet2Invest does **not** process bets internally. * Bet2Invest does **not** act as a syndicate. {% hint style="warning" %} Your betting funds always stay on **your Pinnacle account**. The only link between Bet2Invest and Pinnacle is **technical** (execution through your account). Deposits made on Bet2Invest (crypto / credit card) are used **only to pay auto-betting fees**, not to bet. {% endhint %} *** ### Supported bookmaker Auto-betting works **only with Pinnacle**. This is intentional: Pinnacle is the reference market used across Bet2Invest (odds certification, market analysis, CLV/CLEV, liquidity…). *** ### Safety & compliance #### “Is it safe for my Pinnacle account?” Yes. Auto-betting is designed to be safe for your account and consistent with Pinnacle’s ecosystem. * Auto-betting has been **officially endorsed by Pinnacle**. * If you want official confirmation, you can reach out directly to Pinnacle: `api@pinnacle.com`. #### Credentials & encryption To enable auto-betting, you must enter your Pinnacle identifiers. They are encrypted using **AES‑256** with an **IV** (initialization vector). In simple terms: * your identifiers are transformed into unreadable data before being stored * even if someone accessed the database, the stored data would not be usable as plain text *** ### Fees (industry‑low) Auto-betting fees are based on your plan: * **Premium:** **0.2% ($0,20 for $100 volume)** * **Standard:** **0.4% ($0,40 for $100 volume)** Premium pricing: * **€4.90 / month** * **€49 / year** {% hint style="success" %} These fees are designed to be among the **lowest in the industry**, so automation stays accessible and scalable. {% endhint %} *** ### Follow any Expert and define your own rules You can enable auto-betting for **any Expert** you follow (PRO or not) and define a **different strategy for each Expert**. For each Expert, you can configure: * **Stake per unit** * **Max stake per unit** * **Max stake per day (per tipster)** * **Max odds drop** (percentage) * **Market type**: prematch, live, or all * **Sports** filters * **Order type** (how execution timing is handled): * **Market (instant)** * **X minutes before market closure** (X is configurable) * **Only if price rises again after a drop** {% hint style="info" %} This lets you follow multiple Experts while keeping strict bankroll discipline and execution constraints per strategy. {% endhint %} *** ### Example: notification after a bet is placed Below is an example of the message you can receive when auto-betting places a bet (translated to English): ``` ➡️ Auto-betting: Bet placed ✅ 📍 Bookmaker: Pinnacle 🏆 Event: Colorado Avalanche vs Florida Panthers (Hockey) 🏟️ League: NHL 📆 Match time: 12/12/2025, 02:37 AM 🎯 Market: Handicap (incl. OT): Florida Panthers +1.50 (1 Unit) 💰 Stake: $XXX 🏷️ Odds: 1.5 📉 Odds drop: 0.00% 😀 Tipster: XXX 📋 Unique ID: XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX ⭐ Status: accepted 🔐 Your bet was placed successfully on your bookmaker. ``` *** ### Deposits & bonus Auto-betting uses a balance on Bet2Invest to pay execution fees. * Deposits can be made by **crypto** or **credit card**. * There is a **30% deposit bonus** on the balance (up to **€300** bonus). {% hint style="warning" %} This balance is for **fees only**. It is not used as a betting bankroll and it is not transferred to Pinnacle. {% endhint %} *** ### Execution order (when many users copy the same tip) When multiple followers are auto-betting the same Expert at the same time, execution order matters. The subscription order between auto-betting followers is determined by: * the follower’s **stake** * the follower’s **reputation** * the **age of the subscription** * **random** order when the system cannot decide between users This mechanism is designed to keep execution fair while accounting for real constraints. *** ### Next steps * Follow the setup guide: [How to Set Up Auto-betting](/auto-betting/how-to-set-up-auto-betting) * Read [How Auto-betting Works](/auto-betting/how-auto-betting-works) * Review [Auto-betting Requirements & Limits](/auto-betting/auto-betting-requirements-and-limits) * For bankroll discipline, see [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices) # How to Set Up Auto-betting This guide walks you through enabling auto-betting end-to-end: connecting Pinnacle, configuring your execution rules, and running a safe first test. Before starting, make sure you’ve read: * [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting) * [Auto-betting Requirements & Limits](/auto-betting/auto-betting-requirements-and-limits) *** ### Prerequisites To use auto-betting, you need: * A **Pinnacle account** * A **fee balance** on Bet2Invest (used only to pay auto-betting fees) * At least one **Expert to follow**, with auto-betting enabled for them *** {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Open the Auto-betting section Go to the **Auto-betting** area of Bet2Invest. What you should see: * your auto-betting dashboard (status) * your auto-betting balance (to pay the fees) * the bookmaker connection settings * your auto-betting profile settings * your performance tracking * your followed Experts * the bets history
Screenshot: Auto-betting dashboard
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Connect your Pinnacle account Enable the Pinnacle connection by entering your Pinnacle identifiers. Security note: * Your credentials are encrypted using **AES‑256** with an **IV**. * In simple terms, this means your identifiers are stored as unreadable data, and are not accessible as plain text. If you want to understand the execution path, see [How Auto-betting Works](/auto-betting/how-auto-betting-works).
Screenshot: Connect Pinnacle
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Add balance for auto-betting fees Auto-betting fees are charged from your Bet2Invest balance (not your Pinnacle balance). * You can deposit by **crypto** or **credit card**. * There is a **30% bonus** on deposit (up to **€300** bonus). You **need** to deposit before enabling your auto-betting profile. If you try to setup your auto-betting profile before depositing, you'll not be able to activate it. The recommended deposit amount depends on your monthly volume. There is no need to deposit excessively. {% hint style="warning" %} Bet2Invest does **not** hold your betting bankroll. Your betting funds must remain on **Pinnacle**. Deposits on Bet2Invest are **only** used to pay auto-betting fees. {% endhint %}
Screenshot: Add fee balance
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Configure your auto recharge settings If your Bet2Invest fee balance reaches **0**, auto-betting can be **disabled** until you add balance again (because fees can’t be covered). To avoid interruptions, you can enable **Auto Recharge** so your fee balance is automatically topped up. With auto recharge enabled, you choose: * a **recharge threshold** — the balance level that triggers a recharge * a **recharge amount** — how much to add when the threshold is reached {% hint style="success" %} Auto recharge is the simplest way to ensure your auto-betting **never stops** because you ran out of fee balance. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Auto recharge affects only your **Bet2Invest fee balance** (used to pay auto-betting fees). It does not change your Pinnacle bankroll. {% endhint %}
Screenshot: Auto recharge settings
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Follow an Expert and enable auto-betting for them Auto-betting is configured **per Expert**. 1. Follow or subscribe to the Expert you want. 2. Enable **Auto-betting** for that Expert. 3. Change the "per-tipster" configuration based on your strategy.
Screenshot: Enable auto-betting per Expert
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Configure your strategy for this Expert This is the most important step. Recommended baseline settings: * **Stake per unit**: define how much 1 unit is worth for you (in your currency) * **Max stake per unit**: hard cap (safety) * **Max stake per day per tipster**: avoids runaway exposure * **Max odds drop (%)**: protects against copying after a big move * **Sports filter**: start with sports you understand Then choose an **order type**: * **Market (instant)** — best replication, but may face more slippage on fast markets * **X minutes before market closure** — execution is delayed (X configurable) * **Only if price rises again after drop** — avoids chasing bad price, but may miss bets {% hint style="info" %} Auto-betting is highly configurable. If settings are too strict, you may miss many tips. If settings are too loose, you may copy at bad prices. If you want advice tailored to your bankroll and risk tolerance, you can reach out to us. {% endhint %}
Screenshot: Strategy settings
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Iterate safely (don’t over-optimize) After 20–50 executions, review: * acceptance vs rejection rate * average odds drop * whether the Expert’s markets match your filters Then adjust slowly: * widen odds drop slightly if you miss too many bets * tighten daily caps if exposure feels too high * consider switching from live to prematch if too many markets are suspended For broader discipline guidance, read [Best Practices for Auto-betting](/auto-betting/best-practices-for-auto-betting). {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} # How Auto-betting Works This page explains **how auto-betting executes tips technically and logically** — from the moment a tipster publishes a tip on Bet2Invest to the moment a bet is (or isn’t) placed on your **own Pinnacle account**. For the high-level concept and important disclosures, read [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting). *** ### First, what is an API? API stands for **Application Programming Interface**. In simple terms, an API is a tool that allows two applications to **communicate with each other automatically**, without human intervention. In our case, it allows Bet2Invest to send betting orders to Pinnacle in an automated, secure, and compliant way. {% hint style="info" %} Pinnacle provides an **official, documented API** designed for automated integrations. Bet2Invest uses **only this official API** to place bets. {% endhint %} *** ### Step-by-step execution flow {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Identify the affected users When a tipster publishes a tip, Bet2Invest: 1. identifies users who **follow / subscribe** to that tipster, 2. keeps only users who have **enabled auto-betting** for that tipster. Only those users continue to the next steps. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Apply your limits and constraints For each follower, we run an automatic filter based on the user’s configuration and limits, such as: * maximum stake per tipster * maximum stake per day (per tipster) * any additional rules configured for that tipster (sports filters, market type, odds drop tolerance, etc.) Only accounts that respect **all** personal rules move forward. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Fair ordering of followers Once the final eligible list is built, we determine an execution order. The goal is to be fair and to reduce odds drops caused by many users betting at the same time. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Apply your execution conditions (price, timing, market) Each user may have personal execution conditions, for example: * odds / price constraints (e.g., max odds drop) * timing constraints (e.g., place instantly vs X minutes before market close) * market type constraints (prematch, live, or both) At this stage, two outcomes are possible: * **Conditions not met yet** → the bet is placed **on hold** and may be executed later if conditions become valid. * **Conditions met immediately** → the process continues instantly. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Final check right before sending the order When the system is about to place the bet, it performs a final validation: * the market is still **open** * the odds are still **within your constraints** * the stake is still **allowed** * daily limits are not exceeded The bet is sent to Pinnacle **only if every condition is validated**. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Place the bet via Pinnacle’s official API To prove to Pinnacle that **you** (not Bet2Invest) are the person placing the bet: * Bet2Invest uses **your Pinnacle identifiers** * these identifiers are stored encrypted using **AES‑256** with a **unique IV (initialization vector)** * they are never accessible in plain text by anyone at Bet2Invest Then the order is transmitted to Pinnacle through the **official API**. {% hint style="warning" %} Bet2Invest does not place bets “in its own name”. Bets are placed on **your Pinnacle account**, with your credentials, through Pinnacle’s official interface. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Handle the outcome (success or failure) Two scenarios are possible: #### ✅ Success: the bet is placed Bet2Invest records and displays in your tracking: * the odds obtained * the stake * the timestamp * market information * the final bookmaker response (e.g., accepted) #### ❌ Failure: the bet is not placed The bet may fail for typical reasons such as: * market closed before execution * odds moved beyond your allowed limits * stake rejected due to Pinnacle limits * your configured daily / tipster limits were reached In all cases, you receive a clear status so you can understand what happened. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** ### Where your control matters most Auto-betting is powerful, but execution quality depends on how you configure it. The most important parameters usually are: * **stake per unit** and **max stake per unit** * **max odds drop** * **order type** (instant vs delayed) * **market type** (prematch vs live) For limits and eligibility details, see [Auto-betting Requirements & Limits](/auto-betting/auto-betting-requirements-and-limits). # Auto-betting Requirements & Limits This page lists what you need to use auto-betting on Bet2Invest, and the practical limits you should understand before relying on it. For the concept and key disclosures, see [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting). For the technical flow, see [How Auto-betting Works](/auto-betting/how-auto-betting-works). *** ### Requirements (what you must have) #### 1) A Pinnacle account Auto-betting works **only with Pinnacle**. You must have: * an active and funded Pinnacle account * valid Pinnacle identifiers (used to place bets through Pinnacle’s official API) Your credentials are stored encrypted (AES‑256 + IV). See [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting). {% hint style="info" %} Don’t have a Pinnacle account yet? You can reach out to us and we can help you create one, with a **free trial** that includes **one subscription** plus some **offered auto-betting credits**. {% endhint %} #### 2) Auto-betting enabled for at least one Expert Auto-betting is configured **per Expert**. Following an Expert does not automatically place bets. You must explicitly enable auto-betting and set your rules for that Expert (stake, limits, filters…). #### 3) A positive fee balance on Bet2Invest Bet2Invest uses a balance on the platform to charge **auto-betting fees**. {% hint style="warning" %} This balance is used **only to pay fees**. It is not a betting bankroll and it is not transferred to Pinnacle. Your betting funds must be available directly on your Pinnacle account. {% endhint %} #### 4) Sufficient betting funds on your Pinnacle account Auto-betting places bets on your own Pinnacle account. If your Pinnacle balance is too low, Pinnacle will reject the bet. *** ### Limits Even if you enabled auto-betting, not every tip will necessarily result in a bet being placed. The system always respects your rules and the bookmaker constraints. #### A) Your configuration blocks the bet A bet will not be placed if it violates any of your settings, for example: * **Max stake per unit** would be exceeded * **Max stake per day (per tipster)** reached * **Max odds drop** exceeded * Stake is below the minimum authorized by Pinnacle * market type not allowed (prematch vs live) * sport not allowed * your order type rules are not met yet (e.g., delayed placement) #### B) Market timing & availability A bet can fail if: * the market closes before the system sends the order (it rarely happens, but it's not impossible) * a live market changes state (suspended / reopened) while the order is being processed {% hint style="info" %} Live markets are faster and more volatile than prematch markets. Expect more rejections due to suspensions and rapid price moves. {% endhint %} #### C) Odds movement (slippage) Odds can change between: * the moment the Expert publishes the tip * the moment your bet reaches Pinnacle This is normal in betting markets, especially on low-liquidity markets or when many followers copy the same tip. Most of the time, the auto-betting users are the first to get the odds. To protect you, auto-betting supports a **max odds drop** rule. #### D) Liquidity-based follower limits Market **liquidity** impacts how much money a market can absorb before odds move. To reduce extreme odds drops and keep execution realistic, Bet2Invest may **limit the maximum number of auto-betting followers** that can copy certain Experts / markets, depending on liquidity. If you can’t enable auto-betting for an Expert (or if availability is limited), this is usually to protect followers from poor replication and unrealistic results. **Queue when an Expert is full** When an Expert has reached the maximum number of auto-betting followers, new users can join a **queue**. As soon as a spot opens, users in the queue can be activated. Learn more here: [Auto-betting Queue System](/auto-betting/auto-betting-queue-system). #### E) Pinnacle limits / acceptance rules Even if your configuration allows it, Pinnacle can still reject a bet due to: * account-level restrictions * market-specific constraints * the price changing during the final acceptance Bet2Invest cannot override Pinnacle rules. It can only send the order through Pinnacle’s official API. *** ### Built-in risk controls you should use Auto-betting is powerful, but it should be treated like running an automated strategy. At minimum, we recommend configuring: * **Stake per unit** (your unit value in currency) * **Max stake per unit** (hard cap if units vary) * **Max stake per day per tipster** (prevents runaway exposure) * **Max odds drop** (prevents copying after heavy moves) * **Market type** (prematch vs live) * **Sports filters** For bankroll discipline, also read: * [What's a Bankroll?](/bankrolls/whats-a-bankroll) * [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit) * [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices) *** ### Important disclaimers * Auto-betting **replicates tips**; it does not guarantee you will get the exact same odds as the Expert. * Auto-betting does not guarantee profit. * Bet2Invest does not hold betting funds and does not place bets as a syndicate. If you have questions about Pinnacle API endorsement, you can contact Pinnacle at `api@pinnacle.com`. # Auto-betting Queue System To protect replication quality (odds slippage, execution fairness, and market impact), Bet2Invest may cap the maximum number of auto-betting followers for certain Experts. When an Expert is **full**, Bet2Invest uses a **queue system** so new users can still request access without having to constantly retry. *** ### Why a queue exists Auto-betting is executed on real markets. When too many users copy the same Expert on low-liquidity markets, it can lead to: * larger odds drops for late users * more rejected bets (market moved, suspended, closed) * unrealistic performance compared to what followers can actually replicate A follower cap + queue is designed to keep execution **realistic and fair**. *** ### How it works (high level) 1. An Expert reaches the **maximum** number of auto-betting followers. 2. If you try to enable auto-betting for that Expert, you can join a **queue** instead. 3. When a spot becomes available (for example, someone disables auto-betting for that Expert), the system will offer the freed slot to users in the queue. {% hint style="info" %} The goal is to make access predictable and fair, while protecting market replication for all followers. {% endhint %} *** ### What can cause a spot to open A spot can become available when: * an existing follower **stops** auto-betting that Expert * a follower is removed from auto-betting access * Bet2Invest updates the follower cap because liquidity conditions change *** ### Important notes * Joining the queue does not guarantee immediate activation. * Caps and queue behavior may vary depending on the Expert’s markets and liquidity. * Even when you are active, replication is still subject to your own limits and to Pinnacle acceptance rules. To understand why some bets may still not be placed, read [Auto-betting Requirements & Limits](/auto-betting/auto-betting-requirements-and-limits). # Best Practices for Auto-betting Auto-betting is a powerful execution tool, but it is **not magic**. Because it is **highly configurable**, the quality of replication depends heavily on how you set it up. If your settings are too strict (or inconsistent with the tipster’s style), the system may: * skip many tips, * or reject bets because your limits are reached. {% hint style="warning" %} Auto-betting replicates tips **only when your own rules allow it**. Configuration is the user’s responsibility. If you’re unsure how to configure your strategy, you can reach out to us and we will help you choose sensible settings. {% endhint %} Before reading this page, make sure you understand: * [What is Auto-betting?](/auto-betting/what-is-auto-betting) * [How Auto-betting Works](/auto-betting/how-auto-betting-works) * [Auto-betting Requirements & Limits](/auto-betting/auto-betting-requirements-and-limits) *** ### 1) Treat auto-betting like an investment process Auto-betting should be approached the same way as bankroll management: * define stable rules * avoid emotional changes * judge performance on enough volume This is the same philosophy described in [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices). {% hint style="info" %} Auto-betting does not remove variance — it removes **execution friction**. {% endhint %} *** ### 2) Start conservative (then scale) If you are new to auto-betting, don’t start by following 10 tipsters with aggressive stakes. A safer ramp-up is: 1. start with **2–3 Experts** 2. configure max stake per day per tipster to 3-4 units 3. configure max stake per day to 10 units *** ### 3) Use units consistently (and convert them correctly) Most long-term strategies work best with consistent staking. On Bet2Invest, Experts typically publish in **units**. In auto-betting, you convert those units into currency using: * **Stake per unit** (your currency value for 1 unit) Then protect yourself with: * **Max stake per unit** (hard cap) * **Max stake per day per tipster** (exposure cap) {% hint style="danger" %} Don’t increase your stake per unit because you “feel confident” about a tipster. If you want higher stakes, increase slowly and keep daily / per-tipster caps. {% endhint %} If you need a refresher on units, read [What's a Unit?](/bankrolls/whats-a-unit). *** ### 4) Configure odds protection (slippage control) The most common reason auto-betting “doesn’t replicate well” is simple: **odds move**. To control slippage, your key setting is: * **Max odds drop (%)** Guidance: * Too low → you will miss many tips. * Too high → you may copy after the value is gone. Also consider your **order type**: * **Market (instant)** — best replication, but more sensitive to fast moves. * **X minutes before market closure** — useful for specific strategies where CLV is negative, but can create large differences vs the tipster’s entry. * **Only if price rises again after drop** — can reduce chasing bad prices, but can also reduce fill rate. {% hint style="info" %} There is always a trade-off between **fill rate** (placing more bets) and **price quality** (avoiding bad odds). {% endhint %} *** ### 5) Respect liquidity (especially on niche markets) Liquidity affects how easily odds move. * High-liquidity markets (top leagues, main lines) usually replicate better. * Low-liquidity markets (niche leagues, props, derivatives) can move fast and create more rejections or slippage. This matters even more when many followers copy the same tip. To understand liquidity basics, see [Best practices](/bankrolls/best-practices). *** ### 6) Prefer diversification over overconfidence If you put all your exposure on one tipster, your variance and risk increase. Better habits: * follow a small set of Experts with different sports / styles * keep **per-tipster daily caps** * avoid stacking multiple tipsters who bet the exact same markets at the same time {% hint style="success" %} Diversification is one of the simplest ways to reduce variance risk. {% endhint %} *** ### 7) Monitor failures and adjust (without over-optimizing) Some bets will fail. That’s normal. Common causes: * market closed * odds moved beyond your max odds drop * Pinnacle rejected the bet * your daily / per-tipster cap was reached Best practice is to: * review your acceptance vs rejection rate * identify which rule is causing most misses * adjust only if it matches your strategy goals (replication vs price quality) {% hint style="warning" %} Don’t change your rules every day. Treat configuration like a strategy: stable rules, review on meaningful samples. {% endhint %} *** ### 8) Evaluate the right metrics (not only short-term profit) Auto-betting makes execution consistent, so it becomes easier to evaluate a strategy. When possible, focus on: * long-term yield on enough volume * CLV/CLEV (market beating signals) Learn more here: * [Why CLV & CLEV Matter](/bankrolls/why-clv-and-clev-matter) *** ### 9) Ask for help if you’re unsure Auto-betting is designed to be flexible, and there is no single “best” configuration. If you tell us: * your bankroll size * your target monthly risk * whether you prefer prematch or live * how many Experts you want to follow …we can suggest safe, realistic settings.
