We read the price at a US sportsbook and name the book and the time. The book’s margin comes out first, so what is left is the market’s view of the game.
The gap between the two is the pick. Wide enough, and the page makes the call and the price it is good to. Too narrow, and the page says no bet.
A free pick is only worth having at the right price, and most games do not offer one. Every prediction stays on its page after the game, as published, so each call can be checked against the result.

Quick answers about our free picks, the best bets today, and how to use a prediction.
Yes. Every prediction on Scores and Stats is free to read.
The NFL, college football, the NBA, MLB, the NHL and soccer. Each sport has its own page, listing its games as they come up.
The point spread, the total and the moneyline where they are posted, our own number for the game, and the call.
Before the game starts. Each one carries the date of its game, and the prices on it carry the date and time they were read.
The games where our number sits furthest from the market. Each prediction sets our number beside the price, and the wider the gap, the stronger the pick. The next games are listed above.
Because the price is close to our number. A pick with no edge is a guess, and we do not publish guesses as picks.
A minus price is what you stake to win 100; a plus price is what 100 wins. Our moneyline guide shows how to turn either into a chance of winning.
No one can. Betting carries risk. Bet only what you can afford to lose, and only where it is legal for you.
Betting is entertainment, not a way to make money. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. If betting stops being fun, take a break. Help is free and confidential: call 1-800-GAMBLER. 21+ only, and only where it is legal for you.
