Comparison lines
Compare a Fantasy pick with each book's line and prices, identify contributing books, and follow sportsbook main lines over time.
What the comparison table shows
When you open a Fantasy pick, either expanded in place or in its details panel, the comparison table is the first view. It covers the same player and stat as your pick, with one entry per comparison book. Each entry shows the book's logo, then two values: Line, the point that book is quoting, and Odds, both prices at that point written as your side first and the opposite side second (for example, -151/+152 on an Over pick is Over -151 and Under +152). When a book posts limits, they appear beneath the odds in the same order. On desktop, books run across the table; on mobile, each book occupies a row.
Which line each book shows
Each book shows the first available line in this order:
- The line it contributed at, under Custom, while the book still quotes that line. The ordering section below explains which books count.
- Your pick's point, when the book quotes both sides with a real pair of prices.
- The book's main line: its two-sided point priced closest to even. If it only quotes one-sided lines, its main is chosen from those instead.
A book that quotes only one side still appears, with a dash in place of the missing price. Placeholder quotes priced near certain on both sides, which some prediction markets post before a market trades, are never treated as a main line. A book that quotes nothing else is left out.
The numbers beside the book and the line
- A percentage beside the book's logo, when the book quotes both sides of the line it shows. This is the no-vig probability of your selected side at that line, calculated from the book's two prices by removing their margin proportionally. A book that quotes only one side shows no percentage, because a single price still includes the book's margin.
- A point difference beside the line, such as +2 or -1, when the line is at another point than your pick. A positive number, in green, means the book's line sits on your side of your pick: above your point on an Over, below it on an Under. A negative number, in red, means the book's line sits on the other side.
The percentage describes the line in the same column, not always your pick's point. On an Under 1 pick, a book showing 1.5 with 73% is pricing Under 1.5 at 73%, and the -0.5 beside the line tells you its line sits half a point away from yours. Read the point alongside the price: Over 25.5 and Over 27.5 are different outcomes. Neither number alone establishes value; the prices and your fantasy slip's payout also matter.
How books are ordered and highlighted
Books follow your saved bookmaker order. Open it with the reorder button beside the view tabs in the expanded card or details panel, drag books into the order you want, and save. It is the same order Positive EV and Arbitrage use, so a change in one tool carries over to the others. Until you save an order, books are listed alphabetically after any that lead the table.
Under the Default model, no book leads the table and none is highlighted, so your saved order is the whole order. The pick's fair value stays on the pick card above the table.
Under the Custom model, the books counted in your pick's fair value lead the table and are highlighted. A book is counted when its prices at the point that priced your pick met your model's rules. A sharp book in your model that was not counted for this pick sits among the other books without a highlight. That can happen when it quoted a different point, its limits were too small or too lopsided, or its margin was over your maximum. Your saved order applies within the highlighted books and to the books after them. See Model: Default vs Custom for how to switch.
When line discrepancies are shown, a pick can be priced from a book's line at another point. A counted book then shows the line it was priced at, with its point difference from your pick. The highlight describes the fair value on the card. If a counted book has since pulled that line, it stays highlighted and shows its usual line.
The reorder window lists books in the same order as the table. Books that lead the table stay ahead of the rest there too, so dragging a book past that point keeps it on its own side. Saving preserves the positions of the groups the other tools use. Main line history uses your separate line-history book preferences, as described below.
Main line history
Select the Main line history view in the expanded card to see how each sportsbook's main point has changed. It tracks changes in the line itself; the separate price history chart tracks changes in odds.
The Fantasy marker shows your selected pick's direction and point as a fixed reference. It is not a history of the Fantasy platform's line. The shaded side sits above an Over pick or below an Under pick, making it easier to see when a book moves across your line.
- Time window: choose 5 min, 10 min, 1 hour, 3 hours, or All. The default is 3 hours.
- Books: select a book in the legend to show or hide its series. Under Custom, contributing books lead, followed by your preferred line-history books and then the remaining books alphabetically. The first 8 are initially visible.
- Latest line: each legend entry shows the book's latest main point, with an arrow when that point moved over the selected window.
- Historical prices: hover over the chart to inspect the time, line, and available Over and Under prices.
All means the available history, not an unlimited archive. The chart uses up to 3 days of quote changes. It cannot fully reconstruct line removals: a line pulled during the selected window can remain in the reconstructed history.
Use the chart as context for the comparison. A move across your line is not a prediction that the pick will win.
Refresh cadence
The comparison table fetches fresh prices when you open a pick and then refreshes on a thirty-second cycle while the card or details panel stays open. The refresh button beside the view tabs updates it immediately. A loading indicator appears at the top of the table during a background refresh. If no book quotes the market, the table shows "No book quotes this market yet."
Main line history also refreshes every 30 seconds while its view is open. The card's refresh button updates the comparison and history queries.
Using the table alongside the rest of the card
The comparison table is the first of the views in the expanded card or details panel. The view tabs beside the event name switch between the table, the price history chart, and the main line history chart, which shows when each book moved its main line. Picks with Smart Money liquidity also get a liquidity chart. Use the table when you want to compare the current lines and prices across books; switch to the main line history chart to see whether a book has recently moved across your pick.
To add a pick to your slip, use the checkbox on the pick card, or at the top of its details panel, rather than the table. The table is a read-only reference view; the slip builder controls which picks you take.
For a walkthrough of the slip builder and how picks become a Power or Flex entry, see Building Power and Flex slips. For how the fair price behind each pick is calculated, see the Fantasy optimizer overview or the Market View reference.
- Odds, prices, expected value, conversion rates, and profit figures shown are estimates based on the last data we retrieved. They can change at any time — confirm the current price at the book before you bet, as odds may move and entry errors can occur.
- Using a “sharp” book as a fair-value reference is a modeling choice, not a statement of accuracy. Review a book’s record yourself and anchor on the books you trust.
- Daily fantasy and prediction-market availability, legality, and minimum age vary by jurisdiction. Check the rules that apply where you live.
