How to Use Fliff: Where Can I Play—and is it Legit?
If you’re thinking about opening an account at Fliff, you’re probably wondering if it’s legal in your state and whether the app is legitimate. Those are both fair questions! To answer the first, I recommend checking out our breakdown of Fliff’s legal states — although the app is available in 45 states, 10 of them do not allow the social sportsbook to disburse free Fliff Cash with the purchase of Fliff Coins, limiting your opportunities to convert your winnings at Fliff into withdrawable funds.
To answer the second, yes! Just check out the hundreds of positive reviews left on the their app. That said, it’s important to go in with an understanding of what you’re allowed to do at Fliff in your state before making your purchase of Fliff Coins. If you are in one of the 10 states where Fliff Cash is not disbursed after the purchase of Fliff Coins, for example, you may not have the same experience as a user in a different state.

How to Use Fliff: Finding Value
The key to being a successful sports bettor is to understand the value you’re getting with each pick. Some bettors think in terms of “locks” — things they believe will happen (or, rather, things they believe have a 100% chance of happening). Other bettors think in terms of “leans” — they believe have a higher chance of happening than the odds suggest.
First of all, locks aren’t real; no outcome in sports has a 100% chance of happening. Leans are closer to the truth, but they’re imprecise — to be a profitable sports bettor over the long term, you should be able to calculate your edge, or the positive expected value (+EV) you’re getting with each bet.
Doing so can be tricky, but this is where Portfolio EV come into play.
Some sports bettors use projections to estimate the probability of a player or team accomplishing something. Other sports bettors — and Portfolio EV — use the market.
By indexing the odds across the sports betting world and adjusting for certain factors, we can estimate the true odds of a wager, and, if we find a sportsbook like Fliff taking action on that wager at longer odds, we know that we’re getting +EV.
While manually calculating your expected value can be difficult, especially if you’re hoping to place a significant number of bets per day, our +EV betting tools do the work for you, and they work for more sportsbooks than just Fliff.

You’ll find bets from a variety of sports and on a variety of markets. In this screenshot alone, we’ve got several NBA player prop bets, a few MLB player prop and home run bets, as well as a golf tournament matchup. Let’s filter our tools to just Fliff:
Our shop pages are customizable for more than just your specific sportsbook. You can change your state, which will lead to only wagers available to you rendering as +EV bets. You can customize your bankroll, which will change the recommended bet sizing. You can also filter by league, sportsbook, type of bet and when the game, match or tournament in question will occur
Next, let’s take a quick look at an example wager and how our product team describes each of the key terms.
Bet Size: The recommended bet size as a percentage of your bankroll. This metric is based on a fractional Kelly Criterion approach that leads to a reasonable balance of minimizing risk of ruin while maximizing potential reward.
EV: An abbreviation for “expected value,” this metric estimates the long-term profitability of a wager by taking into account the probabilities/payouts associated with each potential outcome.
xWin: The probability of winning the bet implied by the Sharp Sportsbook Algorithm true odds.
OS Rating: The OS rating provides a rating for each +EV bet. An OS rating above 20 signifies an exceptional bet. Ratings between 10 and 20 are highly favorable bets. Finally, a rating between 0 and 10 indicates a solid bet. We factor in the EV, expected win, bet size, and negative geometric drag to calculate this rating.
