Platform Features

Line Gap provides a complete suite of sports betting analytics tools to help you make informed betting decisions.

Core Capabilities

Expected Value (EV) Calculation

Line Gap calculates the expected value of every bet by comparing true probability against sportsbook odds:
EV = (Probability × Payout) - (1 - Probability) × Stake
What Makes Our EV Calculations Unique:
1

Historical Data Analysis

We analyze ESPN game logs for the past 20 games to calculate true probabilities based on actual performance.
2

Recent Form Weighting

More weight is given to recent games (last 5) to account for current form and momentum.
3

Opponent Adjustments

Probabilities are adjusted based on opponent defensive ratings and historical matchups.
4

Home/Away Splits

Performance metrics are separated by home and away games for more accurate predictions.

Real-Time Odds Monitoring

Odds are automatically refreshed every 5 minutes via Vercel cron jobs, ensuring you always have the latest lines.
We track odds from all major sportsbooks:
  • DraftKings
  • FanDuel
  • BetMGM
