Price movement after our picks
For each pick on a recent card, we keep the latest market snapshot taken after publication and before the start. A pick “beat the move” when other books’ fair probability at the same line ended above the published price’s break-even rate. A changed line is counted separately. Refreshes run a few times a day, so this is the latest pregame snapshot we hold, not necessarily the closing line, and one snapshot says little about skill.
| Sport | Picks observed | Beat the move (same line) | Average move | Line moved our way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MLB | 22 of 22 | 1 of 20 | -2.1 pp | 0 of 3 |
| NHL | 71 of 71 | 51 of 67 | +1.1 pp | 1 of 1 |

Behind the numbers

Cardinals–Cowboys: A 54.5 total meets a much lower experimental scoring estimate
Books cluster at 54.5 for Arizona at Dallas, while Fourth & Value's experimental estimate sits near 45. The gap is a prompt for caution, not a proven betting edge.
