O/U | Line

The most commonly used spread and total across 20+ different sportsbooks

 

ML Odds

The most commonly used odds available across 20+ different sportsbooks.

 

Line Pick

Our VAO() including the spread.  The percentage indicates how accurate the system is when predicting this team to cover at the current value level. This choice does not take any odds into consideration, just the spread.

For more on values, see the section of the manual: "The value system"

 

Odds Pick

Instead of using the spread as in the Line Pick, this uses the ML odds for the team to win outright (no spread). 

 

O/U Pick

This shows our prediction for the result of the game in relation to the total, whether it will be over or under the total, if the Dev Indicator is No or N/A, then take this VAO at face value. The percentage listed is the average of correct predictions for these two teams at the current value level.


However if this is a deviation pick, the number indicates the amount the total may deviate from the original prediction. Keep in mind that there are no high value deviation picks and that the number is not the same as a value in this case. The higher the number on a deviation pick, the less likely it is to hit that target.

For baseball and hockey, a deviation pick means that this may be a good choice for a puck line or run line bet, if listed as a medium value.
