But finding betting opportunities isn’t always about clicking on the most obvious prediction on the board or the one that appears when you log into the Dimers app. While value hunters look for the top edges and strongest opportunities, others look for vulnerabilities in lesser-known markets.
In Dimers Pro, profitable bets can also come from applying the data in creative ways, even in markets you might not find on the surface in our predictions. However, by delving into all the features available on Dimers.com, you can discover hidden opportunities.
To help you master the dimer tools, we’ll show you three ways to apply the data to the NBA, Golf and Football that you might not notice as you browse through our best bets, predictions and props.
Here’s how to do it.
NBA props
Combo props and game masters
The NBA props market goes well beyond basic points, rebounds and assists lines, even in our NBA Projections Hub, where you can find projections for those stats, as well as three-pointers, blocks, steals and even fantasy points.
Combo props such as double-doubles and triple-doubles, as well as game leader markets (most points, rebounds or assists in a game), often fly under the radar. While you won’t see an instant prediction for these markets, such as the likelihood of a player recording a double-double, the data is right there in the Hub. It’s exactly how we found and cashed a +950 LeBron James triple double prop before the All-Star Break,

With full access exclusive to Dimers Pros, our projections provide daily outlooks for every player. For example, if a player expects 18.3 points and 9.7 rebounds, that’s a clear one “Double-double threat” since they are within striking distance of double digits in a second statistic, and since our projections are averages of all simulations, this means the player has successfully registered double digits in some of them.
The same data-driven approach works beautifully for game leadership markets.
Dimers’ highest expected scores in Hornets-Cavaliers on Friday, February 20, compared to FanDuel’s odds for the game’s top scorer.
Instead of betting on a player to climb a ladder or even roll over, you can sort projections by points, rebounds and assists to identify the model’s projected leaders. If two players are projected the same way on the board, but have different chances, this discrepancy can be addressed..
Even better, players projected just behind the favorite can offer significantly longer odds, despite being statistically within a reasonable distance.
By shifting your focus from ‘Will they go away?’ to “Can they lead?” you open up a market where projection data can create serious leverage.
Golf betting
3-Ball Matchups and Regional Groups
The golf betting markets go much deeper than outright winners and top results.
Two of the most overlooked opportunities are 3-ball matches And regional group bettingand both can be addressed using the Dimers Head-to-Head Matchup Tool.
Dimers’ in-house simulation model allows you to compare any two golfers and see the expected odds of winning for Round 1 or the full 72-hole tournament. See how we used this tool to build a parlay for the Genesis Invitational.
Although the tool is built for head-to-head matches between two golfers, you can reverse engineer groups of 3 balls by performing each pairing within the trio. The golfer who performs the strongest in both equations has the mathematically best chance of winning the group.
For example:
Golfer A has a 60.2% chance of beating or tying Golfer B
Golfer A has a 61.7% chance of beating or tying Golfer C
Golfer B has a 58.6% chance of beating or tying Golfer C
Based on these results, you can see that Golfer A would have the advantage over the other two, which would provide insight into a three-ball market based on two-man predictions.
The H2H matchup results for Ben Griffin (Golfer A above) vs. Sam Burns (Golfer B above) for Round 1 at the Genesis Invitational.
The same method applies to regional markets, such as the top American, European or Asian top players.
These groups are often larger, so it may take multiple simulations with the Head-to-Head tool to find a player with a hidden advantage, but users can also take a look by scanning our full golf forecasts, which display each golfer’s country of origin.
This allows a user to quickly see how each golfer in a region stacks up against the rest, so even though Dimers doesn’t directly list a “Top USA Pick,” the model’s probabilities allow you to build that projection yourself.
In a sport where winning margins are razor thin, using matchup simulations in creative combinations can reveal more unique ways to gain an edge.
Football betting
Both teams score
‘Both Teams to Score’ (BTTS) can be one of the most popular football bets, but is rarely emphasized alongside traditional moneylines or game totals. That doesn’t mean the edge isn’t there, it just requires a little math!
Dimers football models provide Moneyline predictions (home/draw/away), total goals and detailed correct score probability grids. These correct score tables show the probability of each realistic outcome with a chance of at least 1%. From this, users can gain a number of insights beyond just winners and totals.
By adding up all projected score lines where one team scores zero (e.g. 1–0, 2–0, 3–0, 0–0, 0–1, 0–2, etc.), you can calculate the model’s implied probability that ‘Both teams score – No’.
Then subtract that total from 100% and you have the model-predicted probability for ‘BTTS – Yes’. Keep in mind that totals can be as much as 1-2% below 100%, which amounts to a handful of scores with a less than 1% chance of occurring.
Dimers’ correct scoring grid for Inter Miami vs. LAFC in the MLS on Saturday, February 21
You can see in the right scoring grid above that we have highlighted any score where one team keeps a clean sheet. resulting in a 33% chance of “both teams scoring – no”, This implies a 67% chance of both teams scoring a goal.
This process is powerful because it uses detailed score projections rather than global target totals. For example, a match that is expected to have more than 2.5 goals does not mean that both teams will score, even if it is a closely planned match.
The correct scoring grid – also available for the upcoming FIFA World Cup – can heavily weight 2-0 and 3-0 results, indicating defensive imbalance rather than mutual scoring. By reconstructing the BTTS probability from the scoring grids, you can gain a better understanding of how the model expects the goals to be distributed and whether sportsbooks are misjudging the market.
To summarize
These ‘hidden’ markets aren’t really hidden; they just need a different lens.
Whether identifying NBA statistical leaders through projections, reverse engineering golf 3-ball winners through head-to-head simulations, or building a BTTS probability based on correct football scoring grids, Dimers’ data tools allow bettors to go beyond just surface-level picks. The insights are there; you just need to know how to extract them.
