Put betavenger on your phone

It installs like an app: one tap from your home screen, full screen, and bet alerts on your lock screen — which only work once it is installed.

Welcome to betavenger

Three things and you know the whole app.

  1. 1Today tells you what to bet. If it says nothing, bet nothing — that is the usual answer.
  2. 2Each bet is a card: what has to happen, the number to ask for at Hard Rock, and the dollars. Take that number or better, or skip it.
  3. 3Bankroll is your money and your limits. Every stake is sized from it and capped.

Nothing here places a bet for you. Every ? explains the number next to it.
