How to read our performance desk

Read the outcome, the price evidence, and the sample together. No single number tells the whole story.

Sharp Betting Intelligence desk

Start with the settled book

The performance desk is the public ledger for channel releases that have been graded: win, loss, or push. Pending tips are not results yet.

  • Wins, losses and pushes; pushes return stake, no profit, no loss.
  • Every tip in the table, not a highlights reel of winners.
  • Rows matter: fixture, selection, odds, units, and result show how the book got here.

Headline totals without the path are how short samples mislead.

Units: what the book made or lost

Units profit is the net result of the recorded stakes at the sizes on the cards. Example: at decimal 2.20, a winning 1.0u bet makes +1.20u; a losing 1.0u loses 1.0u; a push is 0u.

1u = 1% of your chosen bankroll

Remember that convention before reading any total. The desk’s unit curve is the channel book at recommended sizing; not automatically your cash P&L if you sized differently or took different prices. The cumulative units chart shows the path, including drawdowns. Losing sequences belong on that chart. A smooth green line with the red days erased would not be this desk.

ROI: return relative to stakes

ROI compares net units profit with units staked in the settled book. Illustration: +5u profit on 100u staked ≈ +5% ROI.

It is not “my whole bankroll grew 5%.” Always read ROI with sample size and stake volume. A huge percentage on a handful of bets is a story, not a process.

Pin CLV and n: price evidence with coverage

Pin CLV is average closing-line value where we have a comparable sharp (Pinnacle) close on the same line. The n is how many tips support that average.

  • Pin CLV %: average price quality vs that close, on measured tips.
  • n: coverage, often smaller than total settled tips.
  • Missing close: not “0% CLV”, excluded from the average.

Positive average CLV is evidence to weigh alongside units. It is not a promise the next card wins. Sharp Buys and Group Buys sit in the same book; don’t score the labels separately from the ledger.

A simple reading order

  • Settled tip count and W-L-P.
  • Units and the shape of the equity curve (including dips).
  • ROI with sample size.
  • Pin CLV and n.
  • A few individual rows; winners and losers.

Profit without price evidence can flatter a short run. Good price evidence can coexist with short-term losses. That tension is normal; hiding either column is not.

Judge over time, then decide

Past results do not predict future results. The public desk is there to inspect before you pay; not to turn a historical return into a guarantee.
