1
Set up your favorites
First time in? The onboarding flow walks you through picking your sports and favorite teams. Your home feed highlights these games and filters the dashboard around what matters to you. Change favorites anytime in Settings.
2
Browse today's games
Games are grouped by sport in horizontal rows with team logos, consensus moneylines, spreads, totals, and game times. A "Your Teams" section at the top highlights matchups involving your favorite teams. Switch between the All tab or drill into a single sport.
3
Tap for the full detail sheet
Tap any game card to open the detail sheet. It shows consensus lines from all 3 sportsbooks (FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM), the team's full-season ATS record, moneyline record, Over/Under record, and a one-tap "Analyze with Atom" button.
4
Follow live scores
Games in progress show live scores with a green pulse indicator and the current period. Scores update every 30 seconds via ESPN. Completed games show "Final" with the final score — all without leaving the dashboard.
5
EV Scanner picks at the top
The EV Scans row at the top surfaces ML-powered edge detections updated every 10 minutes. Each card shows the pick, the edge percentage, the odds, and the data-backed reasoning. Tap any card to analyze deeper with Atom.
6
Ask Atom from anywhere
The Atom search bar is pinned at the top of every page. Ask "Analyze Celtics vs Knicks tonight" or "What's the best ATS angle today?" — Atom queries the full database and returns real backtested results.

EV Scanner

Machine learning models scan every game and surface edges where the market may be mispriced. Updated every 10 minutes across NBA, NHL, NCAAB, and MLB.

1
How it works
The EV Scanner uses LightGBM models trained on 5 years of historical data. For each upcoming game, it extracts 18 features — team stats, opening market odds, book disagreement, and more — and predicts the true win probability. When the model's probability exceeds the market's implied probability, an edge is flagged.
2
Understanding the edge percentage
The edge % is the difference between the model's predicted probability and the market's implied probability. A 4.2% edge at -145 means the market implies ~59% win probability, but the model sees ~63%. Larger edges = stronger signals.
3
Regression-backed reasoning
Each pick includes a data-backed reasoning line built from 5 years of regression data — like "Bulldogs — historically 73.5% ML hit rate as moderate ML favorites (n=1,608)". These come from situational analysis of similar historical matchups, not generic explanations.
4
Scans across all active sports
The EV Scanner runs models for NBA, NHL, and NCAAB moneylines (MLB when in season). Each sport has its own trained model with sport-specific features and optimized edge thresholds. Scans appear on the All tab and on each individual sport tab.
5
Tap to analyze deeper
Every EV scan card has an "Analyze with Atom" button. Tapping it opens Atom with the full game context — Atom breaks down the matchup, shows related historical trends, and gives you the full picture beyond the model's single signal.

1
Open Atom
Tap the Atom icon in the nav bar or use the search bar pinned at the top of the dashboard. Atom picks up your current sport and sportsbook context automatically so you can jump straight to the question.
2
Describe what you're looking for
Type a request in plain English: "NBA home teams on 3+ days rest against division opponents" or "show me NCAAB underdogs that cover more than 55%." Atom translates it into filters and runs the backtest.
3
Analyze tonight's games
Ask Atom to break down any matchup: "Analyze the Lakers vs Warriors game tonight." If the game is live, Atom includes the current score, period, and opening lines so it can analyze how the game is trending vs. expectations.
4
Review the backtest
Atom returns a stat card with win rate, full W-L record, total games, and ROI. The gauge visual shows you at a glance whether the edge is meaningful relative to the break-even threshold.
5
Refine conversationally
Keep the conversation going. Tell Atom to tighten the spread range, add a rest-day condition, or switch sportsbooks. It adjusts the filters on the fly and shows updated results instantly.
6
Save the result
When Atom finds something worth tracking, save it as a named system. It works exactly like a manually built system — activate it for daily picks, share it, or duplicate it.

1
Choose your sport and bet type
Select NBA, NHL, MLB, or NCAAB from the header, then pick your bet type: Spread (ATS), Moneyline, or Over/Under. This scopes the backtest to the exact market you bet on.
2
Pick a sportsbook
Select DraftKings, FanDuel, or BetMGM. LineTerminal uses that book's actual opening and closing lines for every game in the backtest — not aggregated averages.
3
Add filters
Open the filter panel. Add conditions like home/away, spread range, rest days, win streak, ATS margin, division games, conference play, and more. Each filter narrows the sample to games that match your angle.
4
Read the results
The stats bar shows Win %, ROI, Units, and your full W-L record across every historical game that matched. The profit chart below shows whether the edge has been consistent or was concentrated in one streak.
5
Save and share
Hit Save to name your system. Activate it for daily picks, generate a shareable link so others can see the full record and clone it, or duplicate it to test variations across sportsbooks.

Systems & Sharing

Save, manage, share, and fade your backtested systems. Activate any system for automatic daily pick detection.

Save and activate systems
When you find an edge in the Research Lab or through Atom, save it as a named system. Toggle it Active and LineTerminal scans today's schedule daily to surface any games that match — no manual work required.
2
Switch between systems
The system selector at the top of the Research Lab lets you jump between saved systems in one tap. Filters, stats, and the profit chart all update instantly.
3
Fade a system
See a system with a strong record but want to bet the other side? Use Fade. It takes the exact same filters and flips the recommendation — same data, opposite bet direction.
4
Share a system
Hit Share to generate a public link. Anyone with the link can view the full backtest, see the record, and clone it into their own account. Every shared system has a verifiable track record.
5
Compare sportsbooks
Duplicate a system and switch only the sportsbook. Run the same filters on DraftKings vs FanDuel and compare the ROI directly — lines differ book to book, and it shows.
