FAQ
What is sharp money in betting?
Sharp money is action from informed bettors or syndicates. It often appears as rapid line moves led by sharp books.
How is sharp money different from steam?
Sharp money focuses on who is moving the line (professional behavior). Steam emphasizes speed and breadth of the move.
Does sharp money guarantee value?
No. Sharp action is context, not a bet signal. Always combine with your own analysis.
How does OddsGPT detect sharp action?
We analyze cross-book repricing, sharp-book leadership, breadth, and steam scoring on 1X2 markets.
What is the difference between sharp money and public money?
Public money is recreational betting volume — often visible in ticket counts and popular sides. Sharp money comes from informed bettors who move lines before the market catches up, usually led by sharp sportsbooks.
How is a steam move different from sharp money?
Steam describes speed and breadth — odds shifting quickly across books. Sharp money focuses on who is moving the line and why. A steam move can be sharp-led, but not every steam event is professional action.
How do professionals move betting markets?
Professionals often bet into sharp books first. Those books reprice, sharper peers follow, and soft books lag. OddsGPT tracks this chain through lead-book detection, Sharp Score, and multi-book breadth.
What does Closing Validation / Validated mean?
Closing Validation compares the signal price to the closing line (CLV). Validated means the market moved in the expected direction before kickoff (CLV ≥ +5%). Invalidated means it moved against the signal (CLV ≤ −5%). This is signal-quality research — it is not the same as winning or losing the bet.
