How It Works
From pregame market to final result.
Charts are the experience. Signals are the intelligence applied to those charts. Results keep triggered signals accountable.
Reading a live odds chart
Each chart plots a betting market across the game timeline. You see how the line moved—not only the current number.
Opening versus current markets
Pregame baselines establish the starting spread, total, and moneyline. Live quotes update as the game unfolds so you can compare opening context to the current market.
Game-event overlays
Scoring plays and other major events are placed on the same timeline as the market so movement has game context.
Strategy thresholds
For NFL and college football, predefined strategy thresholds are prepared from the pregame plan and drawn on the chart when applicable.
Trigger behavior
When a live market reaches a configured threshold, SportSimulate records the signal at the observed line and game state—without placing a wager.
Settlement and replay
After the game, the chart, trigger, final score, and graded result stay together so the signal can be inspected instead of forgotten.
Sport capability differences
NFL and NCAAF include the full chart-and-signal lifecycle. MLB and EPL provide live odds and game-event charts without football-style strategy signals.
