The below shows how the recommendations (using the 3rd best odds) made at different points of time compare to the closing lines (closing line value or CLV).

The earlier you act on our recommendations, the better the returns. This is because our model identifies value before the betting market catches up — by kickoff, most of that edge may have been priced away.

However, depending on your bank, liquidity may become an issue if betting too early. Pick the slot that best allows you value for your bank size.
