Calculators / Closing Line Value

Closing Line Value Calculator

Beating the close is a process metric, not a promise you will win the bet. One game is noise.

Formula

CLV ≈ implied(bet) − implied(close) on the same side.

Worked examples

Bet -110, close -120. You beat the close on the favorite side.

FAQ

Does beating the close guarantee profit?

No. It is one signal that you may have captured a better number than the market’s last price.
