# Line Gap sports betting analytics platform

> Line Gap is a sports betting analytics platform built around line movement intelligence — opening lines, sharp signals, CLV, and AI explanations.

Line Gap is a sports betting analytics platform that helps bettors find +EV opportunities by understanding **how lines move** — not just where they sit right now.

Most odds tools give you a snapshot. Line Gap gives you the story: where the line opened, how it has moved, which books moved first, and (when applicable) why.

## What makes Line Gap different

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Line Movement Intelligence" icon="chart-line" href="/features/line-movement">
    Opening lines, timeline charts, and multi-book overlays — see exactly how a prop has moved over time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Sharp Money Detection" icon="bolt" href="/features/sharp-signals">
    Visual badges flag when 3+ books move the same direction in a polling window, or when steam is hitting hard.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cross-Book Opportunities" icon="scale-balanced" href="/features/cross-book-opportunities">
    True arbitrage, middling windows, and meaningful line discrepancies surface inline as you browse.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AI Movement Explanations" icon="sparkles" href="/features/ai-narratives">
    One click on any prop returns a 1-2 sentence summary of how the line has moved, grounded in our actual data.

## What you get

* **+EV scanner** across NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, NCAAB, NCAAF
* **Line movement charts** with opening line attribution and per-book timelines
* **Sharp signal badges** (sync / steam) on prop rows when meaningful movement is detected
* **Cross-book badges** (arb / middle / line discrepancy) inline on the same rows
* **AI explanations** of line movement on demand
* **Bet tracker** with bankroll management and **closing line value (CLV)** dashboard
* **Research Lab** for player trends, defense vs. position, correlation analysis
* **Discord bot** for automated pick posting
* Player data and injury context from ESPN

## How the data flows

Line Gap polls [The Odds API](https://the-odds-api.com/) every **30 minutes** for line snapshots, plus a targeted closing-line capture in the 0–20 min tipoff window for events you (or other Discord-tracked picks) care about. Every snapshot is stored, so the line movement history compounds over time.

Player stats and injury data come from ESPN.

## Where things stand

Line Gap is a small project, run by a small team. Some things to know:

* **Pre-game only.** Live/in-game odds aren't supported — they require a different (and much more expensive) data tier than we run on.
* **30-min polling cadence.** Not sub-second. Sharp signals reflect movement *across* polling windows, not within them.
* **Mobile is functional but not polished.** Web-first today; dedicated mobile work is on the roadmap.
* **Built-in budget caps.** Closing-line capture and AI explanations both have daily token/credit caps to prevent runaway spend during testing or signal floods.

If a feature isn't here yet, check the page's "Coming soon" notes — most planned work is publicly tracked.
