WagerLens user guide: getting around the dashboard

5 min read

The WagerLens dashboard is a starting point for research, not a feed of picks. It's organized around a specific idea: most bets start as something you already have in your head, and the job of the tool is to get you to the evidence fast.

This guide covers what's on the dashboard, what each section is for, and where to go from there.

What you see when you log in

Four sections, in a deliberate order.

Bet Check

Top of the page, and it's first for a reason. If you already have a bet in mind, start here. Type it in plain language and get the numbers behind it without navigating anywhere.

Full walkthrough: Bet Check user guide.

Top props to research

A short list of props ranked by the current value signal. The subheading says the important part out loud: ranked by the current value signal, not guaranteed outcomes.

Each card shows the subject, the market, the matchup and start time, the EV read, recent hit-rate chips, and the best available price with the book attached. View all props opens the full board.

Upcoming games

Today's and tomorrow's slate, with games that have researchable props sorted to the top. Each card carries the teams, records, start time, and a link into that game's research.

My performance

A compact view of your own tracked results. Before you've tracked anything it's an empty state pointing at My Bets; after that it's your running record.

Picking a sport

The Sport selector sits at the top right of the dashboard. Current options are All Sports, MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAAB, and NCAAF.

Coverage varies across those five, and the differences matter. NCAAF, for example, is a game-markets board rather than a player-props one. The sports and markets coverage guide is the canonical answer for what's available where, so check it before assuming a market exists for your sport.

Sports also go in and out of season. An empty board in February for NFL isn't a bug.

Three ways people actually use this

You already have a bet in mind

Go straight to Bet Check. Type it, read the restated bet to confirm the match, check the sample size before the percentage, open the Odds section, take the best price. Two minutes.

You want to find something on tonight's slate

Start with Top props to research on the dashboard, then open the full props board and filter down. Sort by EV, narrow to the markets you actually understand, and set an odds range you're willing to play. Then Check the two or three that survive.

You're reviewing, not betting

Open My Bets, filter by sport or book, and look at where you're actually losing money. This is the least fun and most valuable thing the product does.

Going deeper on a game

From Upcoming games, each card links into that game's research on the Props board, filtered to that matchup.

More detail in the upcoming games screen guide.

A note on what the numbers mean

Everywhere on the dashboard, hit rates carry their sample size and prices carry their book and freshness. That's on purpose.

"67%" is not information. "67%, 8 of 12 games" is. And a price captured 40 minutes ago on a market that's been moving is worth checking against the book before you act on it.

WagerLens is research. It narrows the board and shows you the evidence. It doesn't guarantee outcomes, and any tool that tells you it does is selling something.
