Tool help and tips

Start with the question you want to answer. You don't need every tool open at once.

Where should I start?

For a specific sport tool, open the Research directory. Each active tool has a separate walkthrough, including NFL Role Radar and Touchdown Finder, MLB NRFI and Exit Velocity, WNBA Hit Rate Matrix, and NCAAF TD Board.

Your first Sharp Intel session

1. Open Picks and choose a sport or market you understand.
2. Open a selection and inspect the supporting sharps, their records, stake size, and entry prices.
3. Compare their entry with the price you can get now. A moved price means you are evaluating a different opportunity.
4. Visit a sharp's profile before following. Use My Sharps to focus on the bettors you chose and Feed to explore activity.
5. If you take a position, record your actual price and stake. Your execution can differ from the original pick.

Tip: Sharp Score ranks observed support; it is not a win probability. Read the separate opportunity status, quote, and supporting records. A high score can still be labeled Research, with an unvalidated edge.

Research a player prop

1. In Hit Rates, choose your sport and market. Compare recent samples with longer samples where available.
2. Open the player details and inspect the game log. Check whether a few unusually big games are driving the average.
3. Check role, lineup or injury news, and matchup context. Historical hit rate is not today's probability.
4. Use Research for the relevant sheet or Games for the matchup as a whole.
5. Compare the exact line and current price across the books you use.

Tip: Over 4.5 and over 5.5 are different bets, even for the same player. Compare matching markets and lines before deciding which price is better.

Check a price or an edge

Start by selecting the sportsbooks you can actually use. In Soft Lines, choose your comparison deliberately: a reference book and the market average answer different questions. In Positive EV, read the fair-value estimate and the available price together.

Before acting, verify that the sportsbook still offers the displayed line and price. Check the market's settlement rules, especially when comparing different operators. A displayed edge relies on the estimate and price being relevant; it does not guarantee an outcome.

Tip: An unusually large difference deserves a second look. Confirm the line, market, update time, and price at the destination book.

For two-sided strategies, read arbitrage or middles before using their calculators. Both execution and settlement rules matter.

Why is my board empty?

Work through these checks before resetting everything:

1. Confirm the selected sport and date have games or markets available.
2. Clear restrictive filters, then add them back one at a time.
3. Check your selected books and market. An unavailable price cannot populate that combination.
4. Confirm your plan includes the feature you are opening.
5. Refresh once. If the problem persists, note the page, time, sport, market, and active filters.

A quiet Sharp Intel board or missing trends can reflect the available activity and qualifying research. It does not necessarily mean the tool is broken.
