Using BreadSync
Odds Screen
The Pro screen that finds the other side of your bet. Tell it which book holds the offer and how much, and it ranks every pair across your books with both bet amounts worked out.
Pick the tab that matches your offer
The tabs across the top are views of the same prices. Three of them do the work. “Odds” is the plain price board, and you can ignore “Middles” for now.
| Tab | Use it when the offer says |
|---|---|
| Free Bet | Bet $5, get $150 in bonus bets. Any bonus bet or bet-and-get. |
| Risk-Free Bet | Up to $X back in bonus bets if your first bet loses. Second chance, no sweat, first bet reset. |
| Low Hold | A profit boost, a small qualifying bet you want covered, or a rollover to clear. |
The buttons on this page open the right tab directly. Opened from the sidebar, the screen always starts on “Odds”.
Set your books once
- 1Open “Books”, click “Deselect All”, then tick only the books you have money in, from the “US Legal” group. bet365 is the exception: it is listed as “Bet365” under “UK”.
- 2Once your books are in Bankroll, use “All books with a balance” at the top of the same list instead. It ticks exactly the books that hold cash.
- 3Set the date to “Today” or “24 Hours”. If the screen has been open a while, click “Refresh” before you bet.
Convert a bonus bet: Free Bet
A bonus bet pays only its winnings, so it goes on the underdog and cash goes on the other side at a second book. This tab finds the pair that keeps the most.

Pick the book holding your bonus bet and its size; it ranks every hedge by how much of the bonus you keep.
- 1.Under “Select Free Bet Book”, pick the book holding the bonus bet. Type its amount in “Free Bet Size”.
- 2.If your book caps the odds you can use a bonus bet at, type that cap in “Max Odds”. The app does not know your book's cap.
- 3.Take a row at 50% or more. Place the bonus bet first, then the cash bet at the stake shown.
Each row leads with the conversion, the share of the bonus you keep, and the dollars. On a $200 bonus bet, a row near 61% and +$122 means: the bonus bet on the underdog at +250, about $378 cash on the other side at -310, and about $122 left whichever team wins, if both bets are accepted at those prices. Green is 60% or more, amber 50 to 60%, red under 50%: skip the red rows.
Watch out: turn the bonus bet on in the book's bet slip before you confirm. If the slip shows your cash balance paying for it, stop and switch it.
Size a risk-free bet: Risk-Free Bet
For offers that refund your first bet as bonus bets if it loses. The tab finds a first bet and a hedge that leave about the same amount either way, counting the refund at the conversion you expect to get later.

Pick the book and your stake; it finds the bet-and-hedge pair that leaves the most whether the first bet wins or loses.
- 1.“Select Risk-Free Book”: the book running the offer.
- 2.“Risk-Free Stake”: the most this one bet can refund, like $50 for one of five $50 no-sweat tokens, not the $250 headline total.
- 3.“FB Conversion %”: type 60, a cautious estimate. It starts at 70.
- 4.Take a top row. Place the offer bet first, then the hedge.
The row's percent is your result as a share of the stake. At 60, around 30% is typical and anything from about 28% up is worth taking, even though the app shows rows under 30% in red. For example, a $200 first bet at +120 hedged with about $181 at -130 leaves about $59 either way, counting the refund at 60%. Short on cash for the hedge? Type a smaller stake and every row resizes. If the first bet loses, the refund arrives as bonus bets: convert them in the Free Bet view.
Find a cheap pair: Low Hold
For cash on both sides. You bet both sides and pay a small, known cost called the hold, in exchange for moving a rollover or covering a qualifying bet. With a profit boost typed in, the same search finds the pair that keeps the most of the boost.

Odds Screen · Low Hold view
Finds the cheapest two-sided bets for clearing rollover or using a profit boost.
- 1.“Primary Book”: the book with the boost or the rollover. “Bet Size”: what you want to bet there.
- 2.Holding a profit boost? Type it in “Boost %”, for example 50, and that book's side re-prices.
- 3.Set “Sort” to “%” and take the top row.
Each row shows the worst-case cost as a share of everything you bet: -1.20% is about $1.20 per $100. Under 3% shows green, and 2 to 3% is normal. For example, $100 at +105 against $110 at -115 loses $5.00 or $4.35 depending on which side wins, so the row reads about -2.38% of the $210 you put through. While you are learning, skip any side shorter than about -300: you tie up a lot of cash to move a little. Setting “Min Odds” to -200 is a good habit. For a round “Bet Size” from your bankroll, see How much to bet.
Log both bets from the row
Every pair row has a green bookmark on its left edge, “Add to Tracker”. Click it once both bets are placed. “Add Bet” opens on the “Hedge” tab with both sides filled in. From the Free Bet view, the bonus side comes already ticked “Bonus Bet”. Check it matches your slips, then click “Add hedge (2 bets)”. More in Tracking.
Watch out: before each bet, match the team, market, odds and start time on the slip to the row. If a price moved, type the new price into the row's odds box and use the stake it gives you.
