Closing line value (CLV) measures whether you beat the final odds before an event starts. This guide explains it with hypothetical examples only.
- Closing line value compares the odds you took with the closing odds just before an event.
- It is widely seen as the market's most accurate price, so beating it consistently suggests skill rather than luck.
- No.
What CLV is
The 'closing line' is the odds just before an event begins. CLV compares the price you took with that closing price.
Why it matters
The closing line is widely seen as the market's most accurate price.
A long-term signal
Consistently beating the closing line suggests skill rather than luck, even before results are known. It is a feedback tool, not a guarantee on any single bet.
Using CLV
Sharp bettors track CLV to judge their process. It works alongside line shopping and understanding implied probability.
