Closing Line Value (CLV) is the gold standard metric for measuring whether a sports bettor has an edge over the market. CLV measures whether the odds you took (at bet placement) were better than the odds available at kick-off (the closing line). If you consistently take odds higher than the closing line after de-vigging, your probability estimates are systematically more accurate than the market's final efficient price — the clearest evidence of genuine betting edge.
