# My Bets & Bankroll

> Track every bet placed on Line Gap or elsewhere, watch your bankroll trend in dollars or units, filter by book, and see per-bet closing line value.

The **My Bets** page (`/my-bets`) is the bet log + bankroll dashboard. Every bet you track shows up here with its outcome, profit/loss, and (after the game closes) its CLV.

## What gets tracked

For every bet:

* Sportsbook, prop, line, side (over/under), odds at placement
* Stake amount and potential payout
* Status (pending / won / lost / void)
* Settlement timestamp and result amount
* **Closing line value (CLV)** — populated after the game closes, see [CLV Tracking](/features/clv-tracking)

## Adding bets

**Auto-tracked**: Bets placed through Line Gap's "Track Bet" button on the Dashboard are logged automatically.

**Manual entry**: Use the **"Add Custom Bet"** button to log bets you placed elsewhere. You can specify:

* The book
* The prop / player / line / side
* The odds you got
* Your stake
* The league

Manual bets get the same CLV treatment as auto-tracked ones, as long as the prop matches a row in our system.

## Bankroll Overview

The top of the page shows three high-level cards:

* **Current balance** — your tracked bankroll
* **Total ROI** — profit / loss as a percentage of starting balance
* **Win rate** — settled wins / total settled bets

Below that, two charts:

* **Cumulative profit/loss** over time
* **Win rate trend** rolling

You can toggle the chart views between **Dollar (\$)**, **Unit (u)**, and **ROI (%)** to match how you think about your bankroll.

## Settings

The **Edit Bankroll** dialog lets you set:

* **Starting balance** — your initial bankroll for ROI calculations
* **Current balance** — manually adjusted if you've added/withdrawn outside of bet outcomes
* **Unit size** — your standard bet size, so you can view performance in units rather than dollars

## Why CLV matters more than ROI

Your **ROI** is the lagging measure of how your bets actually settled. Variance dominates short samples — you can be profitable while making bad bets, or unprofitable while making great ones.

**CLV** is the leading measure of whether your bets are systematically priced better than the market. Sustained positive CLV is the strongest predictor of long-term profitability — even before your wins/losses converge to your true edge.

The CLV column on `/my-bets` and the dedicated [CLV Dashboard](/features/clv-tracking) are where this lives.

## Honest limits

* **CLV requires closing-line capture for the game.** Bets placed before April 2026 (when closing-line capture launched) won't have CLV — the data simply doesn't exist.
* **Manual bet entry quality matters.** If you fat-finger the odds when adding a custom bet, the CLV will be wrong. Double-check.
* **Parlay CLV is overall-ticket only right now.** Per-leg CLV requires schema work that hasn't shipped.
