CLV Premium
The average amount of closing line value a bettor captures above the closing line over a large sample of bets, expressed in cents.
Like measuring a stock picker by their purchase price vs. closing price, not just whether the stock went up.
Why it matters
CLV premium is the purest measure of betting skill. A consistent 3+ cent CLV premium virtually guarantees long-term profit.
How DMP uses this
DMP tracks CLV on every graded bet to show users whether their timing and selection process consistently beats the close.
Common mistake
Focusing on win rate instead of CLV premium -- you can have a losing week with excellent CLV, which means your process is right.
