proppicks - odds methodology
How proppicks sources, normalizes, and updates the odds you see.
In one sentence
proppicks pulls live player-prop odds from 8+ major sportsbooks and shows them side by side so bettors can find the best price on a given line, refreshed on a rolling automatic basis.
Data sources
Odds are retrieved from each sportsbook's publicly available price feed (public API or data endpoint). proppicks does not manually enter odds; prices are fetched programmatically on a rolling refresh.
Coverage
- Leagues: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL.
- Markets: player props (strikeouts, hits, total bases, points, rebounds, assists, passing yards, rushing yards, and similar single-player stat lines).
Normalization
Prices are converted into a consistent format - standard American moneyline odds with over/under values - so every book's price on the same prop is directly comparable. Book names and prop labels are normalized to a canonical form across the site.
Update cadence
Odds are refreshed automatically on a rolling basis. Exact refresh interval can vary by market and by sportsbook feed availability.
Accuracy and disclaimer
While proppicks aims to reflect current public prices, odds are provided "as is" and may lag or differ from the live book at the moment of placement. Always confirm the final price at the sportsbook before wagering. proppicks is a comparison and research tool and does not place bets or act as a sportsbook.
