Data sources

RESEARCH INPUTS

Gary's research combines several kinds of sports and market data. This page describes the categories without claiming a provider that is not identified on the analysis itself.

Markets

Sportsbook odds and lines

Available prices and market lines gathered during the research window from multiple sportsbooks. A displayed price is a snapshot for the analysis, not a live quote or a guarantee that the same price remains available.

Schedule

Matchups and start times

League schedules, opponents, venues, and scheduled start times provide the frame for each board. Postponements and late schedule changes can take time to appear.

Performance

Season statistics and recent logs

Team and player performance data can include season totals, recent-game logs, records, and matchup or platoon splits when they are relevant and available.

Availability

Injuries and status reports

Dated injury and availability information is considered where it affects the matchup. Late scratches, lineup changes, and reporting delays remain possible.

Context

Venue, conditions, and situation

Depending on the sport, research can include ballpark or venue effects, weather, rest, travel, and other situational factors. Not every factor applies to every analysis.

Grading

Final scores and settled outcomes

Completed game picks are graded against final scores. The results pages report wins, losses, pushes, win percentage on decided picks, and flat one-unit performance at the listed odds.

HOW TO READ A PICK

A researched snapshot, not a live feed

A rationale reflects the evidence available during its research window. The exact sportsbook or retrieval time is not displayed on every analysis, so verify the current price, player status, and game conditions before relying on a factual detail.

The numeric-claim check compares a writeup with the underlying data fetched for that analysis. It reduces unsupported claims; it does not make every input complete or guarantee that a source will not later update its data.
