Why First Move
What First Move does for you
Sharp books like Pinnacle, and FanDuel on player props, tend to set the price. When one of them moves, the other books usually follow, but not all at once. First Move shows the play the moment a sharp book moves, the books still paying the old price, and how plays like it have done against Pinnacle's closing line.
Catch the move as it happens
A play appears the moment a sharp book moves and other books haven't, with the old price, the new price and the size of the move. It stays up until the books catch up.
Know how strong it is
Every play is labeled Early, Standard or Strong. Strong means a second sharp book confirmed the move or it moved 3 or more points, and FanDuel's small prop moves start as Early with their snap-back rate.
Bet it in one tap
The Bet button opens the book still paying the old price, right to the bet slip where the book supports it, with a suggested stake from your Positive EV bankroll and Kelly settings.
A Record you can check
The Record grades each play's first alert against Pinnacle's no-vig closing price, by league, market, label and the book you would bet at, with the sample size on every figure.
How it works
First Move in 3 steps
- 1
Pick your books
First Move uses your account's sportsbook list, so Where to bet only shows books you can use.
- 2
Open a play
The side panel charts the move, says in plain words why it's a play, and lists the price at every book with which ones are still old.
- 3
Bet before the books catch up
Check the price at the book and bet. If the price catches up while you're looking, the panel tells you and the Bet button pauses.
FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers about First Move.
Is First Move the same as Positive EV?
No. Positive EV compares every price against a fair line all day. First Move only shows prices a sharp book just moved away from, so the edge comes from books that haven't followed yet. When a play is on both, a small icon says so.
How long does a play last?
Until the other books catch up, which can be seconds on a busy NBA slate or a few hours on an NFL game line. Check the price at the book before you bet.
How do I know it works?
Open the Record tab. It shows how often the entry price beat Pinnacle's closing price with the margin taken out. It measures the price you got, not whether the bet won.
