When it comes to making money with Portfolio EV without a steep learning curve or massive time commitment, the results speak for themselves. Just look at our friend Colton, who turned a $2,500 bankroll into over $13,000 in profit during his first 40 days using OddsShopper’s Portfolio EV. For those skeptical or hesitant about diving into sports betting with a market-based approach, Colton’s experience with our EV betting tools sheds some light on what’s possible.
Finding His Way to Portfolio EV
Colton first discovered Greg Ehrenberg’s $100 bankroll challenge on Twitter early in the NBA season. Like many others, he was intrigued but cautious — after all, the internet is full of “get-rich-quick” schemes. He followed Greg’s progress for about five or six days, carefully verifying that the lines Greg was betting on were accessible and not pre-line movement odds he couldn’t replicate. Once everything checked out, Colton decided to give Portfolio EV a try, opting for a one-month subscription to test it out.
What sealed the deal for him was the money-back guarantee, which gave him confidence in the tool’s legitimacy.
Starting Small and Staying Steady
Colton began betting with Hard Rock Sportsbook in Florida, the only legal option available there. His initial bankroll ranged from $2,500 to $3,000. He quickly realized the limitations of having just one sportsbook, especially when Hard Rock limited him to $50 max bets within a week.
Despite these restrictions, the results were immediate. Even with betting limits, Colton placed enough daily bets to profit consistently, often hitting 130-plus bets on high-volume days. For instance, in one day he placed 130 bets and netted $840 — a 13.5% ROI in a single day, all while dealing with Hard Rock’s limitations.
Testing the Waters in Pennsylvania
A trip to Pennsylvania gave Colton access to seven sportsbooks, significantly boosting his volume and efficiency. In just one week, he profited between $4,700 and $5,200, leveraging a bankroll that had grown to about $10,000.
The Portfolio EV tool’s Mass Entry Tool was a game-changer. With sportsbooks like Caesars, BetMGM and DraftKings, Colton could enter bets in bulk, dramatically reducing the time needed to place bets. Even though he faced limitations on smaller books like SugarHouse and BetRivers after a few days, he still managed to extract solid profits before the limits kicked in.
EV Betting Tools and Strategy
Colton kept his strategy simple — no parlays or flashy plays, just straight bets using Portfolio EV’s recommendations. The tool automatically calculated bet sizes using principles like the Kelly Criterion, and Colton adjusted his bankroll settings to receive realistic bet recommendations that matched his limits.
In Florida, where he could only use Hard Rock, Colton manually entered each bet. While more time-consuming, it was manageable; he could enter 15 bets in about 15 minutes. In Pennsylvania, the Mass Entry Tool made the process significantly faster and more seamless.
Colton also maintained a disciplined approach to bet management. Once a bet was placed, he hid it in the tool to avoid duplication but monitored the lines for potential reload opportunities if they moved favorably.
Tips for Beginners
Based on his experience, Colton offers a few key tips for those just starting:
- Start Small: A smaller bankroll helps stay under the radar and avoid limits for longer.
- Trust the Process: Betting solely based on market data might feel unnatural, but the math works over time.
- Prepare for Variance: Even with a positive expected value (+EV), ups and downs are inevitable. The key is volume — place enough bets to let the math work.
- Leverage Tools: In states with multiple sportsbooks, use the Mass Entry Tool to save time and improve efficiency.
Final Thoughts on Portfolio EV Betting Tools
Even with just one sportsbook in Florida, Colton has been able to profit consistently. When he gained access to multiple sportsbooks in Pennsylvania, his results skyrocketed. Portfolio EV simplified the betting process, making it accessible even for someone relatively new to sports betting.
For those on the fence about trying it out, Colton’s journey is a testament to the tool’s potential. With 40 days of betting and $13,000 in profit, Colton confidently calls Portfolio EV a game-changer. The tool does the heavy lifting — bettors just need to trust the math and stay disciplined.
