HOW IT WORKS AI models project game totals using thousands of historical and real-time data points Line movement and market pressure are continuously monitored Signals are categorized by selectivity: ELITE, STRONG, and VOLUME Timing indicators help identify when market movement may be stabilizing FREE FEATURES Access to ELITE tier signals Basic game tracking Core analytics dashboard PRO SUBSCRIPTION FEATURES (requires purchase) All signal tiers: ELITE, STRONG, and VOLUME Model-based confidence and sizing guidance Closing Line Value (CLV) tracking Performance analytics and bet logging Market movement and volatility insights Pro Monthly: $49.99/month Pro Season Pass: $249.99 (full season access) WHY CLOSING LINE VALUE MATTERS In efficient markets, the closing line is widely regarded as the most accurate estimate of game outcomes. Tracking how often decisions beat the closing line provides a clearer picture of long-term decision quality, independent of short-term variance.

BracketBOSS

Fill out the bracket. Run the pool. Settle it for good. BracketBoss is bracket pools for every tournament worth arguing about: one invite code, live scoring, and nobody maintaining a spreadsheet. SEVEN TOURNAMENTS, ONE APP Gridiron — pro football playoffs through the championship Campus Gridiron — the College Football Playoff Hardwood — pro basketball playoffs Ice Breakers — pro hockey playoffs Diamond Kings — the baseball postseason Global Cup — the world tournament, group stage and knockouts Continental Cup — the continental championship Each one opens when its real schedule opens. The app shows you the date and puts whatever's next at the top of the list. HOW IT WORKS Create a pool in about a minute: pick the tournament, choose your scoring, share one invite code. Players fill out their bracket round by round, or work through the whole thing at once in the full-bracket view. Picks lock when the first game starts, enforced on our servers, not on anyone's phone. WATCH IT BURN DOWN Results roll in automatically as games finish. Correct picks light up, busted paths grey out, and the leaderboard reorders itself. Later rounds are worth more, so a pool is rarely over early. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold and every screen gets a second page. Your stats sit beside your pools. Your bracket sits beside everyone you're up against. The picks grid sits beside the standings. The full bracket opens up to show both sides of the draw at once. Fold it back up and it's the same BracketBoss on the cover screen. TRASH TALK Every pool gets a board. @mention anyone in the pool, react to the hot takes, and let BracketBoss post when a series ends. Report a post or mute a player any time; managers can pin a note and hide or delete anything. MY STATS Your bracket record everywhere you've played: accuracy, points, round-by-round results, champion picks, upsets called, where you finished, the teams you read best and the ones that keep costing you, plus badges when you earn them. WINNERS OR LOSERS Run it straight, or flip it: in Losers mode the point is predicting who goes home. Same bracket, completely different argument. FOR MANAGERS Approve players, edit names, see who hasn't finished their bracket, and nudge the stragglers. Print the bracket or the standings for the wall. Set a message every member sees when they open the pool. FOR PLAYERS Enter a code and you're in. No hunting for a league, no account juggling. Your bracket, your picks, and where you stand, all in one place. Change your display name any time and it updates everywhere. FREE TO PLAY Creating a pool, joining a pool, and filling out a bracket are all free. Optional one-time purchases: remove ads ($4.99), unlock another pool for a manager ($1.99), allow multiple entries in a pool ($1.99), and add an extra entry for yourself ($0.99). BracketBoss does not take entry fees, hold money, or handle payouts. Whatever your group plays for is between your group.
