Today's plays
1u = 1% of your own bankroll. Prices shown are the prices we took.
One week is a small sample. We judge the process by closing line value over 100+ bets, and losses stay in the record.
Every bet, losses included
Units only. 1u = 1% of bankroll. Past results do not predict future results, and this is still a small sample.
How we grade ourselvesRead
Units. 1u is 1% of your own bankroll. We size in units, never dollars. Most plays are 0.5u to 1.5u.
Everything is logged. Every bet goes in the record at the price we took, wins and losses alike. Nothing is removed.
Closing line value (CLV). The closing line is the last price before the game starts. If we got a better price than the close, that bet beat the close. One week of results is mostly luck. We judge the process by CLV over 100 or more bets.
Beat the close. This counts only bets that have a closing line. A few do not, and they are marked as having none.
EV. Expected value from CLV: units risked times how far our price beat the close. The vig is left in, so it reads high.
Rules we keep. No parlays, no teasers, no chasing losses. A pass is a valid result.
What this is not. Education, not a guarantee of profit. The sample is still small. Legal age only. Bet only what you can afford to lose. Help is free at 1-800-GAMBLER.

Your bets are saved in this browser only. Nobody else can see them, including us. Some browsers clear a site's saved data after a while, so download a backup now and then.

Calculators
Nothing you type here leaves your phone. The numbers already filled in are examples only.
Did you beat the close?
Closing line value compares the price you got with the last price before the game starts.
What it isn't: a guarantee of profit. You can beat the close and still lose over a short stretch. It needs about 100 bets before it says much.
Odds and break-even
Turn any American price into the win rate it needs.
No-vig price
Enter both sides of one line to remove the book's cut and see what each side is worth.
Novig price converter
Novig shows a price as a percent. Enter it to see the American price and the win rate it needs. Add the amount you put in to see what it pays.
The numbers filled in are examples only. This uses the percent alone, so it leaves out any fee or rounding the app applies. Your ticket is the final word.
Your unit
1u is 1% of your own bankroll. Use money set aside only for betting.
