Market View

The odds grid embedded in every bet card — shows each book's price side by side, with Average and Best summary columns and sharp-book highlighting, so you can sanity-check an edge before you bet.

What the Market View is

Every bet card on the Odds Screen and in the other tools (Positive EV, Arbitrage, Smart Money) contains an embedded odds grid called the Market View. It lists every sportsbook in your selection across a horizontal grid of columns, with one row per outcome — typically two rows for a two-way market (for example, Over / Under or Team A / Team B). The grid lets you compare every book's current price at a glance without switching tabs or apps.

Reading the columns

The leftmost column, labelled Selection, names each outcome in the market. The remaining columns are your sportsbooks, one per column, each headed by the book's icon and name.

When the grid is wide enough to show summary statistics, two additional columns appear before the per-book prices:

  • Average — the mean price across all books currently showing a price for that outcome. Prices from books that share a common feed (feed clones) are averaged before contributing to this figure, so a cluster of cloned books does not distort the average. The value is shown in a muted style to distinguish it from actionable prices.
  • Best — the single highest price available for that outcome, displayed in the primary accent color and paired with the icon of the book offering it. If the Best column identifies a book different from the one you were planning to use, that is a line-shopping opportunity.

Within each per-book cell, the price appears in the primary color and bold weight when it equals the best available price, making it easy to spot the leading book at a glance. If a book is not offering a line for that outcome, the cell shows a dash.

Some cells also display a smaller figure below the odds — this is the book's listed maximum bet size for that selection, where the data is available.

Sharp-book highlighting

Books classified as sharp receive a distinct visual treatment: their columns are grouped together with a tonal background and border, visually separating them from the recreational books. On mobile, sharp-book rows carry a green left border. This grouping makes it immediate to compare where the sharp side of the market is sitting versus where the soft books are priced — a useful sanity check when an edge looks unusually large.

Use Average and Best together

If the Best price is far above the Average, the edge may be narrow in practice — only one book is offering it and it may move quickly. If multiple books are clustered near the Best, the line is more stable and the edge is more likely to hold while you place the bet.

Navigating alternate lines

The Market View shows the main line selected on the card. Many markets offer additional point spreads or totals beyond the main number — use the Alternate Lines view to browse those, or check Line History to see how the price has moved over time. Both are accessible from the same card.

Configuring which books appear

The books shown in the Market View are drawn from your sportsbook selection. To change which books appear, open your bookmaker settings, where you can add or remove books and adjust their display order. If the grid has more books than the current card width can show, an "Add more" button appears at the right edge — this opens the same settings panel.
