Closing Line — Closing Line Value (CLV) measures whether the odds on your pick were better or worse than the same book's price at event start. A positive CLV means you captured a better number than the close; a negative CLV means the close was better. CLV is a pricing metric used by serious handicappers to evaluate process — it is not a prediction of future wins, and it does not guarantee profit. SCL only shows CLV on Odds-Verified picks with a recorded closing price. If a close is unavailable, we show an em dash rather than an estimate.
