About Overlay Bets
A verified tipster marketplace built on proof, not promises.
Our mission
Sports betting is drowning in noise — screenshots, deleted losers and “100% verified” claims nobody can check. Overlay Bets exists to fix that. We give bettors an honest, evidence-first way to find genuinely skilled tipsters, and we give skilled tipsters a place where a real track record actually gets rewarded.
Trust is the entire product. Everything below explains exactly how we earn it and how you can verify it for yourself.
How it works — for bettors
- Browse verified tipsters. Explore the marketplace and leaderboard ranked by verified, settled performance — not marketing claims or cherry-picked screenshots.
- Check the proof. Every profile shows independently settled results, hit rate and closing-line value (CLV) over time, so you can judge a tipster on evidence before you pay anything.
- Subscribe and follow. Subscribe to the tipsters you trust to unlock their live picks the moment they are published — timestamped and locked so nothing can be edited after the fact.
How it works — for tipsters
- Get verified. Complete identity verification and connect a payout account. Verification gates publishing, so subscribers know a real, accountable person is behind every pick.
- Publish locked picks. When you post a pick it is hashed and timestamped at publication. The locked record is what gets graded — building a track record you cannot rewrite.
- Build a track record. Picks are settled against real results and your stats — win rate, ROI and CLV — update automatically. Honest, consistent tipsters rise on the leaderboard.
- Get paid. Earn from subscriptions to your picks, with transparent payouts handled through our billing partner.
Why you can trust the numbers
This is where we want to win. Our trust model is designed so that a tipster's record cannot be inflated, edited or cherry-picked after the fact.
Each pick is cryptographically hashed and timestamped at the moment it is published. That proof means a pick cannot be quietly changed, deleted or back-dated — what you see is exactly what was called.
Results are settled against real-world outcomes by us, not self-reported by tipsters. Hit rate, ROI and profit are computed from that verified history so the numbers you see are the numbers that happened.
We track how each pick priced up versus the closing line — the single best long-run indicator of skill. Consistent positive CLV is hard to fake and shows a tipster is genuinely finding an edge.
Tipsters must pass identity verification before they can publish. Accountability sits behind every pick, and picks are gated until a tipster is fully verified.
