Four markets we cover
Pace reshaping totals live
Playoff pace tightens 4-6 possessions per game vs regular season. Half of retail still bets totals on season averages. The model adjusts per matchup and hunts unders in slow-it-down series + overs in up-tempo matchups.
Alt-lines + stat correlation
Points + rebounds + assists same-game correlations get ignored by SGP pricing models. We flag props where the alt-line odds beat the main-line math. Highest-volume market for Pro tier subs.
Futures with live updates
Series price odds move hard after each game - especially home/away splits. AI re-prices after every game and flags when the market overreacts to one result. Sharp middle windows open and close fast.
