How StrataWager Works

A fully automated, five-stage AI pipeline that finds sharp edges in the sports betting market and delivers actionable picks to your inbox.

01

AI Scans Live Odds

Every morning, our scanner pulls real-time odds from FanDuel and DraftKings across NBA, NCAAB, MLB, NFL, NHL, and more — spreads, totals, and moneylines across all leagues. We compare lines between books, flagging discrepancies that signal market inefficiencies — the raw material for edge detection.

Player props are scanned separately with a tighter discrepancy threshold, ensuring only meaningful mispricings make it to analysis. Prop cards display the player name, game matchup, and tip-off time for quick context.

Live Odds Scan
FanDuel: Celtics -6.5 (-110)
DraftKings: Celtics -5.5 (-108)
Discrepancy detected: 1.0 point spread gap

Deep AI Analysis

Candidates pass through a sport-specific Stage 2 analysis powered by Claude AI. Each sport gets its own specialized prompt and evaluation criteria:

  • - Basketball: Rest/pace, refs, sharp action, tanking signals, revenge spots, trap games, NCAAB bubble desperation
  • - Baseball: Pitcher/bullpen matchups, park factors, weather, day-after-night fatigue
  • - Football: Injuries, travel, divisional rivalry, weather, lookahead/trap spots, revenge games
  • - All Sports: Public narrative fades, motivation context, situational edges
Stage 2 Output
Pick: Celtics -5.5
Edge: 4.2% implied value
Factors: B2B for opponent, sharp money on Celtics, pace-up matchup
Rating: ★★★

Devil's Advocate Review

Before any pick is published, a separate AI pass stress-tests it by identifying the three strongest factors against the position. Picks that fail to hold up under scrutiny are downgraded or removed entirely.

This adversarial review catches blind spots that single-pass analysis misses — ensuring only picks with genuine, defensible edge survive to the daily card.

Adversarial Review
Pick: Celtics -5.5
Counter-arguments:
1. Knicks 8-2 ATS in last 10 home games
2. Celtics starters' minutes up 12% this week
3. Public money already heavy on Celtics
Verdict: Edge holds — sharp money + pace mismatch outweigh counters

StrataScore Ranking

Surviving picks are ranked by StrataScore — a composite metric that weights adjusted edge (60%) and win probability (40%). The top picks make the daily card.

Picks that cleared the minimum edge floor but didn't rank high enough appear as Leans — a transparent look at what the system sees but isn't confident enough to recommend at full conviction.

Card Selection
★★★ Celtics -5.5 StrataScore 78
★★★ Nuggets ML StrataScore 74
★★ Pacers +4.5 StrataScore 62
Hawks -2 Lean — below card cutoff

Daily Delivery

Your daily card hits your inbox every morning with star-rated picks, unit sizing, AI rationale, matchup context, and direct links to FanDuel and DraftKings bet slips. Everything is tracked on your live dashboard with full grading history.

Line movement is monitored throughout the day. If a line moves past our edge threshold, picks are automatically voided before you can place a bad bet. Graded picks stay on the Today tab with FINAL score badges and colored W/L borders so you can review results without leaving the card.

Edge-Derived Star Ratings

Every pick is assigned a star rating from 1 to 3 based on the calculated edge percentage — not AI opinion. Higher edge means more stars and larger unit sizing. The StrataScore algorithm combines adjusted edge (60%) and win probability (40%) to rank picks for the daily card.

★★
Lean< 6.5% edge
Qualifies above minimum floor. Informational only.
1.0u
★★
Confident≥ 6.5% edge
Solid mispricing detected, multiple signals aligned.
2.0u
★★★
Strong≥ 10% edge
Clear pricing advantage with strong signal convergence. Max sizing.
3.0u

Picks are ranked by StrataScore (edge × 0.6 + win probability × 0.4). Top picks make the daily card. Remaining qualifying picks appear as Leans — shown with full game details greyed out, informational only, excluded from performance tracking.

Look-Ahead Lines VIP

The Look Ahead sub-tab (under the VIP tab on your dashboard) scans games 2-7 days out, identifying early-value opportunities before sharp money moves the lines. These are spreads and totals where the current number is likely to shift — giving you a window to lock in better prices.

Schedule
Updated 3x/week (Mon, Wed, Fri). 3-5 picks per run focused on spreads and totals.
What You See
Days-out indicator, expected line movement direction, AI rationale, and DraftKings game page links.
Auto-Expiry
Picks automatically expire when the game starts. Performance is tracked separately from the daily card.

Futures Picks VIP

The Futures sub-tab (under the VIP tab) evaluates championship, conference, and season prop markets across all major sports — targeting longshot value where the implied probability significantly underestimates the actual chance.

Markets Covered
NBA Championship, NCAA Tournament, Super Bowl, NFC/AFC Conference, World Series, Stanley Cup — and more as seasons open.
Per-Book Odds
Collapsible market overview per league with odds compared across FanDuel and DraftKings side-by-side.
Lifecycle
Updated 3x/week. 2-4 picks per run. Picks void when an outcome is eliminated. Performance tracked separately.

Alerts & Line Protection

Markets move after the card is published. StrataWager monitors your picks throughout the day and notifies you when something changes — so you never bet on stale edges.

⚠️

Line Movement Alerts Sharp+

When a pick's edge drops 3% or more after the card was sent, you receive an email showing the old edge, new edge, and direction. Helps you decide whether to still place the bet or skip it. Limited to 1 per pick per 2 hours, only when the game starts within 4 hours.

🛑

Void Protection Alerts VIP

If a pick's edge drops below the minimum floor entirely after you've received it, you get a "DO NOT PLACE" alert. This protects you from betting on a pick that no longer has edge — before you can place a bad bet.

🔍

Check My Line Sharp+

Not every book offers the same odds. The Check My Line tool lets you enter your book's actual line and instantly see whether the edge still holds at your price — with a pass/no-pass verdict before you bet.

🕑

Hourly Edge Refresh

Edge calculations are re-run every hour from 8 AM to 7 PM ET. Picks that fall below the edge threshold are automatically voided. Picks that improve are reflected on your dashboard in real time.

💰

Bankroll Tracker Bettor+

Set your unit size in dollars and see dollar P&L alongside units everywhere — performance dashboard, pick history, and daily email. Track your actual profit in real currency, not just abstract units.

Bet Tracker Bettor+

Tap "I Tailed This" on any pick to track which ones you actually bet. Game picks and props include Line and Odds inputs so you can record the exact price you got; parlays include an odds input for your book's actual payout. Graded picks in Pick History also support tailing — mark picks retroactively even after games are over. See your personal record, win rate, and net units separate from the platform record.

📋

Pick History

The History tab has three sub-tabs: Graded Picks (won/lost/push results with final scores and full stats), Leans (qualifying picks below the daily card cutoff, informational only), and My Bets (your personal tailed picks with your recorded lines, odds, and P&L). Use filter chips to slice by league, result (W/L/Push), or star rating. Sharp+ tiers see edge % on each graded pick card.

📈

CLV Analytics

Closing Line Value measures whether you consistently get better prices than where the market closes — the gold standard of sports betting skill measurement. See aggregate CLV%, league breakdowns, and confidence-level analysis.

🎯

Confidence Accuracy

See how well each confidence level (Very High, High, Medium, Low) correlates with actual outcomes. Win rates, records, and net units per level — so you know exactly how to weight each rating.

🏆

Season Records

Performance broken down by sport season (NBA 2025-26, NCAAB 2025-26, etc.) with W-L record, win rate, and net units. Active seasons sort to the top; off-season leagues dim to the bottom. Available on both the public performance page and subscriber dashboard.

🔥

Streak Tracker

Current winning or losing streak plus last-10 form, shown overall and per league. Displayed in the dashboard header and daily email. Hot streaks (7+ in last 10) get a fire badge; cold streaks get flagged too.

🔔

Notification Preferences

Control which emails you receive from the Account > Notifications tab. Toggle on or off: daily card, hourly pick alerts, line movement alerts, and void protection alerts. All on by default. Every email includes a direct link to manage your preferences.

🎁

Referral Program

🚀

Long Shot Parlay

A daily 3-leg entertainment parlay built from the highest-odds picks on the card. It's a fun long-odds flier — not an official recommendation. Visible to all tiers (Free included). Results are tracked but excluded from the official record, net units, and win rate. Appears in its own section below parlays on the Today tab.

📱

Dashboard & Mobile

Your dashboard has 6 main tabs: Today, VIP (Look-Ahead + Futures), Performance, History (Graded Picks, Leans, My Bets), Account, and Support. On mobile, a bottom navigation bar with swipe navigation and collapsible pick details keeps the experience clean.
