    Otterline Report – January 27

    Chris recaps yesterday's results across the NHL and NBA, including a massive 6-1 night for the NBA model. The episode covers why human bias kills your win rate and how betting every edge instead of cherry-picking leads to better long-term results.

    The LA vs Columbus game was postponed to March 9th, and Boston's overtime loss stung. Chris also discusses why hockey is considered the hardest sport to model due to single-play variance.

    No NBA picks today—every game has heavy favorites where the market and models align, leaving no value on the table. NHL has a loaded slate with nine picks, all at half-unit sizing for proper bankroll management.

    Today's Picks

    • Toronto Maple Leafs
    • Utah Hockey Club
    • Montreal Canadiens
    • New Jersey Devils
    • Boston Bruins
    • Dallas Stars
    • Washington Capitals
    • San Jose Sharks

    Chris also walks through the new tiered betting system in the lab, explains why he's betting against his own team (Florida) for the first time, and breaks down why Vancouver is a fade every night.

    • Columbus Blue Jackets
    • Tampa Bay Lightning
    • Vegas Golden Knights

    Otterline Report – January 25

    Chris recaps yesterday’s results across the NHL and NBA, then breaks down today’s picks and a few new additions to the Otterline platform.

    Yesterday was a solid night overall, with the NHL slate finishing 5 wins and 4 losses and the NBA finishing 4 wins and 2 losses. The episode highlights the biggest surprises from the night, including Columbus scoring eight against Tampa, plus a quick NBA recap with the postponed Golden State game rolling into today.

    Today’s Picks

    • Florida Panthers
    • Vegas Golden Knights
    • Calgary Flames
    • Denver

    Chris also explains how the NBA consensus workflow is built around finding value rather than betting lopsided favorites, and why the verified value approach focuses on underdogs with strong historical model combo performance.

    Finally, the episode introduces the Swing Tracker, a new page designed to spot early mispriced Polymarket games days ahead of start time, with the goal of selling before puck drop for potential arbitrage style gains.
