Edge Finder
The Edge Finder reads how betting lines move at the sportsbooks we track and flags games where the move points to an edge. Every lean it saves is graded after the game, losses included.
How the Edge Finder works
It reads line movement
The Edge Finder follows the spreads and prices on upcoming games at the sportsbooks we track and looks at how each line has moved since it opened.
Fast moves count most
A fast move, where a line jumps quickly in one direction, is the signal the Edge Finder weights most heavily when it estimates an edge.
Each sport has its own bar
A game has to clear a minimum edge that is set separately for each sport, because the same line move does not mean the same thing in every league.
Prediction markets as a cross-check
When a matching Polymarket market exists, its price is compared with the sportsbook price, so you can see whether the two agree.
Late games are left out
Games that start in less than an hour are skipped. By then most of the move has already happened.
Fades are marked
Some patterns have lost more often than they have won. When one shows up, the Edge Finder can flag the other side instead and marks it as a fade.
How leans are graded
When a game qualifies, the lean is saved with its side, the sportsbook and the price at that moment.
After the game it is graded a win, a loss or a push from the final score. A fade is graded on the side we would bet, not the side the pattern pointed to.
The record on this page is built from those graded leans, losses included. A graded record shows what happened, not what will happen next. Bet only what you can afford to lose. 21+.
