Read a market

Compare equivalent sports lines

Check the event, line, period and timestamp before comparing prices.

Two prices are comparable only when they refer to the same proposition. A full-game total, first-half total and player prop settle differently. Keep the line value and event identifiers visible when reviewing a market.

Work through it

  1. Match the sport, participants, start time, market type and period. Confirm whether overtime and other settlement conditions are included.
  2. Compare the same line value. A better payout at a materially different handicap is not a direct price improvement.
  3. Record the source and timestamp. Recheck availability before treating a displayed price as current, especially when feeds update at different intervals.

Check your result

  • Market terms are equivalent.
  • The line value is preserved.
  • Stale or unavailable prices are labeled.
