OddSphere guide
Understanding OddSphere
OddSphere is a live read of the game and the market. Picks, probabilities, projected scores and Play Grades can change until a game locks.
The main thing to know
The board is live until the game locks.
OddSphere keeps reading the latest game information and sportsbook market. When the information changes, the board may change with it. That is expected.
During the day
Prices and game information update.
Final check
Review the latest read near game time.
Locked
The saved version is used for tracking.
What changed?
What each movement means
The pick changed
The model now prefers a different side or outcome.
The Play Grade changed
The pick may be the same, but its price or supporting evidence became stronger or weaker.
The probability changed
New information changed the estimated chance of the outcome.
The projected score changed
The expected scoring changed as matchup inputs updated.
The odds or line changed
The sportsbook market moved, which can change whether the pick still has value.
Two different questions
Prediction
What does the model expect to happen?
This is where the projected winner, probability and score come from.
Play Grade
Is it worth considering at the current price?
The grade also considers price, market context and how actionable the pick is.
A prediction can stay the same while the Play Grade moves. The model may still like the same side, but the available price may be better or worse.
When should I check?
Watch it during the day. Check again within an hour of game time.
The final check usually has a clearer picture of lineups, injuries, starters and current prices.
What happens at lock?
The final version is saved for tracking.
Earlier versions may have looked different while the board was still updating.

Check the market and notes
See how the price moved, whether market signals agree, and what could weaken the pick.
Play grades
What the labels mean
Grades sort the current board by strength. They help you find the better spots faster, but they are not guarantees.
Best Angle
The strongest setup on the current board.
Lean
A playable direction, but not as strong as a Best Angle.
Watchlist
Worth watching. The price or information is not there yet.
No Play
The current setup does not give us enough reason to play it.
Other sections
Player Props and Tracking
Player Props
Use the filters to choose a prop type, then compare the projection, available price, recent history and matchup information on each card.
Tracking
Tracking shows what the board recorded after games locked. Use the sport, market and time filters to understand the results in context.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
Open only the questions you need.
Why did a pick or Play Grade change?
The price, line, lineup, injury report, starter, weather or other available information may have changed. OddSphere updates the board when the full picture changes.
When is the best time to check OddSphere?
Check during the day if you want to follow the movement. Check again within about an hour of game time for the clearest final read.
What does it mean when a game is locked?
The final version of the pick has been saved for tracking. Earlier versions may have looked different while the game was still updating.
Does a Best Angle guarantee a win?
No. Best Angle means it is one of the strongest current setups on the board. Every pick still carries risk.
Why are Sharp Book Splits sometimes missing?
The provider may not have supplied usable data for that game or market yet. OddSphere leaves the section out instead of filling it with a guess.
Why can the projected score change?
The projected score is an estimate built from the latest available inputs. When those inputs change, the estimate can change too.
What is the difference between probability and Play Grade?
Probability estimates the chance of the selected outcome. Play Grade also considers the available price, market context and whether the pick is actionable.
Why can a strong prediction still be a No Play?
A prediction can favor one side while the current price offers too little value. The model read and the betting decision are related, but they are not the same thing.
One last thing
OddSphere is a research tool. A strong grade does not guarantee a result. Use the information, check the current price and make the decision that fits you.
