Min LIQ is the minimum reported dollar size required for an executable quote. It helps you avoid treating a price with only a tiny available amount as a practical betting opportunity.

Choose a threshold

  1. Open Odds, +EV, or Arbitrage.
  2. Find Min LIQ in the filter toolbar.
  3. Choose $10, $25, $50, $100, or $250. The initial setting is $25; saved preferences may show a different value.
  4. Review the remaining eligible offers or the price’s available-size label. Raising the threshold can reduce eligible offers or change the best executable price.

How it affects each screen

Workspace Effect
Odds Below-minimum prices can remain visible as thin/ineligible quotes; eligible Best O/U and Market avg summaries exclude them.
+EV An executable offer must meet the required size. A low-liquidity quote can still contribute to Consensus when it has qualifying fresh two-sided prices.
Arbitrage Both executable legs must qualify. The calculator also uses reported available sizes to show a maximum combined stake.
Pick’em There is no adjustable Min LIQ control. Its qualifying evidence uses separate source eligibility rules.

Missing size is not always zero

Exchanges and prediction markets need reported usable liquidity; missing or zero size cannot establish an executable offer. Ordinary sportsbook feeds may not report a size, and a missing size is not automatically treated as a zero limit. When a feed reports a meaningful size, eligibility still depends on it.

A quote with $1 available does not meet even the $10 minimum. Selecting a $25 threshold does not mean you are placing a $25 stake, and it does not prove a $200 stake can be filled.

Illustrative demo data: capacity depends on both stake amounts and both leg sizes.

Before using the price

Check the current size and price at the destination. Available liquidity can change, and only part of a requested amount may be available at the shown price. Use the threshold to screen opportunities, then verify your intended stake separately.
