Best bets

Recommended bets first — the early spreads and totals that beat the market out of sample — then the model's most confident picks and biggest disagreements, for research.

Recommended bets

Early spreads & totals — the rule that returned +4.1% on 2,440 unseen bets last year

1 unit each. Flat stakes — the backtest bet the same amount every time. A unit is ~1% of your bankroll.

Bet early. The edge comes from opening lines; it shrinks as the line moves toward these picks.

Shop the price. The best price we see is shown with its book. Skip a bet if the line has moved past it.

Backtested, not guaranteed: the +4.1% comes from last season's opening lines, and it is being verified live on the Performance page. Expect long losing streaks even with a real edge. 21+ only; bet only what you can afford to lose.
The sections below are research, not recommendations. “Best” means the model's strongest view, not a guaranteed edge. The confidence picks are well calibrated — when the model says 80%, it has historically won about 80% of the time — but favourites pay little. Market disagreement has not been backtested yet. Use these as research starting points.

Most confident win probabilities

Value vs market

Model probability above the vig-free market probability, ranked by model expected value per unit — research candidates

Δ = model − vig-free market probability (proportional vig removal). Model EV assumes the model probability is exactly right; the track record below tests that assumption. Spreads and totals use the Monte-Carlo score distribution conditioned on no push.

Does betting the disagreement work?
