Sharp market reader.

I've been beating closing lines for over 2 years. I know how to read line origination, track CLV, and build systems that find edges in the market.

The Process.
01

Line Origination & CLV

I track lines from open to close. CLV is the best long-term measure of whether a bettor actually knows what they're doing.

02

Sharp Market Reading

I analyze the most sharp books across the market to find the true market value. When retail books post soft numbers, that's where the edge is.

03

Steam & Syndicate Moves

Steam moves, reverse line movement, syndicate action. I separate real money from public noise.

04

Expected Value Modeling

I strip the vig, get to true odds, and only bet when the math says it's +EV. No gut calls.

05

Bankroll & Risk Management

Unit-based staking using Kelly Criterion. Grow the bankroll, manage the variance, survive the drawdowns.

06

Market Efficiency & Structure

Hold percentages, vig structures, how market makers operate, and where inefficiencies actually show up across books.
