TrendNo single signal, but fading the public in this sport and market has returned +10% or better over 10+ games. LeanThe only signal is 70%+ of bets on the other side. SharpThe side with under 50% of bets has a money share 10+ points higher than its bet share. RLMReverse line move: 60%+ of bets on one side, but the line moved toward the other. Value betThe pick's tier has returned +5% or better over 12+ graded games. BenchedA tier or market losing 10%+ over 12+ games in that sport; its picks are hidden until it recovers. Best priceThe best line and odds across the sportsbooks we track, and which book has it. Bet soon / Good numberWhether the line has moved against this pick or in its favor since the board first saw it. Key numberNFL and college football games most often end by 3 or 7, so getting or laying those numbers matters. CLVClosing line value: whether the pick's number beat the last line before the game. The best long-run sign of sharp picks. Return / unitsProfit per 1-unit bet: +20% return means +0.20 units per bet on average.

Track record

Every pick is the fade side, ranked by signal: the sharp money gap, a reverse line move, and how heavy the public is on the other team. Strong = sharp money plus a second signal; Good = sharp money or RLM alone; Lean = 70%+ of bets on the other side. Trend = fading the public in that sport and market has returned +10% or better over 10+ graded games. Picks tune themselves as results come in: once a signal has a real sample in that sport and market, a winning return counts it up and a losing one counts it down. Moneyline returns use the actual prices. Signals, not guarantees.

Flags: Fade is the pick: the side with fewer bets. Sharp when the side with under 50% of bets has a money share 10+ points above its bet share; its record counts when that lower-bet side wins (or covers / hits). The moves line shows every change in the number and when it happened. RLM (reverse line move) when 60%+ of bets are on one side but the spread moved toward the other. Heavy when one side has 70%+ of bets. Close when neither side has more than 55% of bets; those games get their own record.
