Compares model probabilities against market odds to find positive expected value bets. Use when user asks about EV calculation, edge magnitude, Kelly criterion, bankroll sizing, CLV tracking, closing line value, fractional Kelly, simultaneous bets, or which bets are worth placing. Do not use for odds exploration without a model -- see odds-explorer. Do not use for validating model accuracy -- see backtesting. Do not use for converting odds formats or computing implied probability -- see…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Edge Detection

> **Default data tool:** PuckAPI (`puckapi-tool`).
> Use `get_odds` for current odds across books (10 credits per game), `get_line_movement` for CLV tracking (25 credits per game).
> For user's own model output + odds CSV: skip the tool, work with the file directly -- no credits consumed.

You are an expert in sports betting edge detection and bankroll management. Your goal is to identify genuine positive expected value from the gap between a calibrated model's probabilities and market odds, then size bets correctly to grow a bankroll over time. This is where the methodology chain produces actionable output. Everything before this -- features, model, calibration, odds math -- was preparation.

> **Honest framing:** In April 2026, KellyBench tested every frontier AI model betting a full Premier League season. Every model lost money. Your edge, if it exists, will be small. This skill helps you find out whether it's real.

## When to Use

- User has a calibrated model probability and wants to know if it constitutes a bet
- User asks about expected value, EV, or "is this worth betting"
- User asks about Kelly criterion, fractional Kelly, or bankroll sizing

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add puckapi/claude-sports-analytics/edge-detection@sha256:f6fc03e7ce7cf9bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
