Using OddStorm

The OddStorm desktop app

The web app covers the full surebet feed in any browser; the desktop app is the Windows client for the features that need deeper integration: Navigation, Back/Lay surebets, and market and period filters. Same speed, same data, more control.

What the desktop app adds #

Four things live only in the desktop app:

  • Navigation (Elite): one click opens the bookmaker and walks straight to the event of the arb. Seconds saved on every placement.
  • Back/Lay surebets: the bookmaker-vs-exchange feed with commission and liquidity built into the math.
  • Market filters: Settings, then the Filter Markets tab, to choose which market types (1X2, handicaps, totals, corners...) the scanner includes for you.
  • Period filters: the Filter Periods tab, to include or exclude first-half and other period markets.

Install and sign in #

Download the installer from the Download page, run it, and sign in with your OddStorm account. The app updates itself; when a new version ships, it tells you.

Using the filters well #

Filters are per-account preferences: what you exclude simply stops appearing, which is how you turn the full firehose into a feed matched to the markets you actually bet and the bookmakers you actually hold.

Remember the filters exist when a specific arb 'is missing': nine times out of ten the market or period is filtered out. The web app has no market/period filtering; if you need bet-type control, the desktop app is the tool.

Mac and Linux #

The desktop app is Windows only. The web app runs fine in any browser on macOS and Linux; users who need the desktop-only features on a Mac run the app inside a Windows virtual machine (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox), which works without issues.

Where to go next #

The Navigation guide covers the Elite feature in depth, and the Back/Lay guide explains the exchange math the desktop app computes for you.
