Sharing a bet link
Finding bets · Web & iOS · Last updated August 28, 2026
Quick answer
Sharing a bet creates a public page at dawbets.com/share/… that anyone can open without a DawBets account. It is not a screenshot: every time someone opens the link, DawBets looks the bet up again at that sportsbook and shows whether it still has an edge, has lost one, or has gone from the board.
Send a share link
Every bet in the feed has a Share action, and so does a single (non-parlay) tracked bet in My Bets — until its game starts. It mints a public page anyone can open: no account, no app, no sign-in.
- 1
Open the bet’s actions
On a feed bet card, tap More actions — the ⋯ button top-right — and choose Share. On a tracked bet, tap the share icon on the card itself.
- 2
Pick how to send it
A Share Bet sheet opens with Copy, Message, X, Email, Facebook, WhatsApp and Reddit.
- 3
Send it
Copy puts the link on your clipboard and confirms with a "Link copied" toast. X, Email, WhatsApp and Reddit hand it over with a line of text already written; Message and Facebook send the link on its own and let the preview do the talking.
On iOS: On iPhone the Share row in a bet’s menu opens the standard iOS share sheet instead of the web channel picker. The feed and My Bets are the two screens that offer it, and in My Bets it sits on open and won bets only.
Two bets you cannot share
In the web app, a parlay in My Bets has no share button at all, and a tracked bet’s share button switches off once its game has started. Send it before kick-off.
What the person you send it to sees
A status banner across the top, then the bet: selection, price, matchup, market and start time. The banner carries one of six verdicts — as a label, or as a sentence spelling it out — recalculated at the moment they open it.
- Still Has Value — it was priced in your favour when you shared it, and still is.
- Now Has Value — it had no edge when you sent it, and has one now.
- No Longer +EV — it had an edge when you sent it and has since lost it.
- Not +EV — no edge then, none now.
- Game Started — the event has kicked off.
- No Longer Available — the bet has left that book’s live board.
Underneath sit three tiles: Bet Odds (showing the price you shared alongside the current one when it has moved), Fair Odds (what the bet is genuinely worth, shown to everyone), and either Expected Value or a Rating badge, depending on the viewer’s plan.
The page is live; the preview picture is not
A share is not a screenshot. On every open, DawBets re-finds the bet at that book — the same selection, market and both teams — and reports what it finds now, including whether the edge has grown or shrunk since you sent it.
Note
The image that appears in your message thread is drawn once, from the bet as it stood when you made the link, and it caches. The price on that thumbnail can be stale while the page behind it is current. Trust the page, not the picture.
Why some shares show no EV number
Two separate gates, and either one is enough to hide the figure:
- Who made it. Expected value is a paid figure, so a share created on a Free account or while signed out stores no EV at all — there is no number on it for anyone, at any tier.
- Who is reading it. Signed-out and Free viewers have the number removed before the page is built, even when the share carries one.
Everything else survives: the status banner, the plain-English verdict ("This bet still has value", "…has since lost its edge"), Fair Odds, and the badge rating in place of the percentage. What each plan unlocks is on the pricing page.
When the bet has gone
If the game has started, the bet has dropped off the book’s board, or its edge has turned negative, the page adds a short list of current +EV bets at the same sportsbook under More +EV bets on that book.
The big button still points at the book. Where a direct bet-slip link exists it opens the slip with the selection loaded; where none exists, the caption says so outright. DawBets also re-points that link at the state the viewer appears to be browsing from, since a share is usually opened by someone with no DawBets account. More in Sportsbook links and bet slips.
What a share publishes, and what it does not
The public page serves a fixed allow-list: selection, price, market, league, both teams, start time, sportsbook, badge and the game the bet belongs to. Your stake and your account identity are not on that list and never reach the page.
Bet share links also carry your referral code. Opening one stores that code in the recipient’s browser, so a signup they make later — not only in that first visit — is still credited to you. See Refer a friend. The share button on a game screen is different: it sends a plain link to that game, with no referral code, and a signed-out recipient must sign in first.
On iOS: On an iPhone with the app installed, tapping a share link opens DawBets on the game the bet belongs to rather than the web page. A share made from My Bets carries no game, so that one opens the web page instead. If you are signed out, the app holds the link and opens it once you sign in.
A share is a price, not a tip
"Still Has Value" describes the odds on offer, not who wins, and a friend following your link can lose. Sports betting is 21+ and legal only in some states — never stake, or encourage someone to stake, money they need. Responsible-gambling resources.
Common questions
Does the person I send it to need an account?
No. Share pages are public and open with no sign-in. They see the bet, its live status and Fair Odds. The exact expected-value percentage is reserved for Plus and Pro viewers.
My share says “No Longer Available” minutes after I sent it.
The live lookup needs an exact match on the selection, book, market and both teams. If the book pulled the line or reworded it, the page falls back to that status and offers current +EV bets at the same book instead.
Why does my shared bet show no EV?
Either the share was created on a Free account or while signed out, in which case no number was ever stored, or the person reading it is signed out or on Free and has it withheld. The verdict wording works at every tier.
Does sharing a bet give me referral credit?
Yes. Every bet share carries your referral code, and the recipient’s browser keeps it, so a signup they make later is still credited to you. Links shared from a game screen do not carry a code.
Can people I share with see my stake?
No. The public page serves an allow-listed set of fields, and your wager amount and account identity are not among them.
Does a share link open the DawBets app on my iPhone?
Yes, when the app is installed — it opens on the game the bet belongs to. A share made from My Bets has no game attached, so that one opens the web page in your browser instead.
