Black Box Edge · NFL Week 9 · prices as of Tue Nov 3 · 1:53 PM ET

The market, the book, and the close

Edge is the part of Black Box that watches the market instead of the game. From the moment a line opens it records every price at every legal US book — 25 snapshots since Nov 2 — and turns that into three things: which way the money is moving on each game, where Hard Rock Bet's number stands against the best price anywhere, and, for members, the tickets the engine would actually bet, with the price floor on each leg and a grade against the closing line once the game is played.

Members see

The engine's tickets as they are built — every leg with its price, our number against the market's, the floor price below which the bet is off, and the hit rate for the ticket. After the game, each leg is graded against the closing line, so the record shows whether the bets were right before they were lucky.

A move is measured on the market's consensus price, de-vigged, from our first snapshot to the latest. Two points or more is worth noticing; most of it comes from the books trimming a number as money arrives.

Line moves and the Hard Rock check

For each side: where the line opened in our record, where it is now, Hard Rock's price, the best price anywhere at the same number, and the market's move in probability points. Florida bettors can only use Hard Rock — the gap column is what that costs on each side.

Questions

How Edge works

What is Edge, in one paragraph?

The model prices games; Edge prices the market. It keeps a record of every price at every legal US sportsbook from the opener on, so a bet can be judged on the only thing that is known before kickoff: was the price better than the market's final word? Members get the tickets the engine builds from that record — with the floor price on each leg, so a worse number at the window means pass — and a grade against the close after the game.

What is closing-line value?

The difference between the price you got and the price the market closed at. Beating the close consistently is the best evidence a bettor has an edge, because the close is the sharpest number of the week. One game proves nothing; a season of beating the close is what a real record looks like. That is why members' tickets are graded on it, not only on wins and losses.

Why is Hard Rock singled out?

Because in Florida it is the only legal online book. A Florida bettor cannot shop for the best price, so the useful question is how far behind the market Hard Rock's number is on a given side — and whether the bet still clears its floor at that price.

How often does it update?

Every morning with the board refresh, again before the Thursday, Sunday and Monday kickoffs, and at the close. Prices shown here are from the last refresh; check the book before you bet.

Is this advice?

No. Black Box Bets publishes analysis for entertainment and information; it takes no wagers and promises no outcome. Analysis, not guarantees.
