Research the matchup. Test your strategy. Track the results. Odds Journal brings sports odds, AI-powered analysis, strategy backtesting and bet tracking into one place for UFC, the NFL, college football and the NBA. Research upcoming matchups, compare prices across sportsbooks and prediction markets, test your ideas against historical results, and understand your performance, all from one app. ANALYST Go beyond the odds with AI-generated fight and game breakdowns and model-generated leans. Each pick shows the model's win probability next to the market's, and a public track record shows how every pick has graded. LIVE GAMES Follow NFL and college football games as they happen with a live scorebug, play-by-play and how your bets are tracking. COMPARE ODDS Compare moneylines, spreads and totals side by side across sportsbooks and prediction markets. Choose your odds format and filter sportsbooks by region, without jumping between apps. SHARP +EV Find bets priced better than they should be. Sharp +EV compares every sportsbook's price against a fair price built from the sharpest books in the market, then ranks the best expected-value bets on the board. MATCHUP RESEARCH Dig into matchup breakdowns, key statistics and historical results. Explore fighter, team and player profiles, tale-of-the-tape comparisons, schedules and upcoming events. STRATEGY BUILDER Turn an idea into a testable strategy. Start from a preset or build your own, backtest it against historical results, review returns and sample sizes, save it, and find upcoming matchups that fit. BET TRACKER Log bets, parlays and picks at the price you got, from a sportsbook, a prediction market or anywhere else. Follow open bets, and see your record, units, ROI, streaks and closing-line value by sport, bet type and time period. WHALES See where the smartest money in prediction markets is leaning. Whales tracks the top-performing traders and shows their consensus on upcoming games and fights: the side they favor, how strongly they agree, and a public track record of how those picks have graded. WHALE WATCHER Watch big money move in real time: a live feed of the largest prediction-market trades, with each trader's history and results so you can tell a sharp from a lucky guess. GAMES Play Higher or Lower, draft a perfect season in NFL 17-0, and approve or veto fantasy trades in Trade Commissioner, with daily streaks and weekly leaderboards. HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS See upcoming UFC, NFL, college football or NBA games and their best prices right from your Home Screen. TOOLS & COMMUNITY Use built-in calculators and odds converters to work through the numbers, and compare your recorded performance with other users on the community leaderboard.
