Step 1: Surface (30 seconds)

Use DMP to find candidates:

• Sort by EV to surface opportunities
• Filter by sport/prop type as needed
• Note any alerts or flagged situations

Output: A short list of props worth investigating.

Step 2: Scan (1-2 minutes per prop)

Quick signal check using DMP:

• Check AI Insight summary
• Note the key drivers
• Identify any red flags

Output: "Worth deeper look" or "Pass immediately"

Step 3: Verify (1-2 minutes if needed)

For promising props, verify alignment:

• Do fundamental signals support the thesis?
• Do price signals confirm or contradict?
• Are there conflicts that need resolution?
• Does the AI reasoning make sense?

Output: Confidence level (High/Medium/Low/Pass)

Step 4: Decide (30 seconds)

Based on confidence:

• High confidence + Good EV → Bet (normal unit)
• Medium confidence + Good EV → Bet (smaller unit) or Pass
• Low confidence → Pass
• Any major red flag → Pass

Output: Bet placed or conscious pass

Step 5: Record (30 seconds)

Track your decision:

• What you bet and why
• What you passed and why
• Your confidence level at time of decision

Output: Data for future learning

The Full Loop in Action

10:00 AM - Surface DMP shows 5 props with 3%+ EV. Add to watchlist.

2:00 PM - Scan Check each. 2 have red flags (teammate back, line moved). 3 look solid.

4:00 PM - Verify Deep dive on 3 remaining. AI Insights confirms 2 with clear reasoning.

5:00 PM - Decide Bet 2 with medium-high confidence. Pass on third (conflicting signals).

Post-game - Record Log all 5 decisions. Review after results.

Why This Works

The loop ensures:

• ✅ You never skip signal checking
• ✅ You have a framework for conflicts
• ✅ You make decisions, not just bets
• ✅ You learn from every decision

The Goal

Build conviction before you bet. Pass confidently when you can't.

Most bettors bet because they want to bet. You bet because the signals align.

That's the edge.
