What it finds
Pick'em apps post player lines at a fixed payout. Antic prices the same line at sportsbooks, with their margin removed, and ranks the picks by how likely they are to hit compared with what your entry needs to break even.
What each row shows
- Hit chance
- The sportsbooks' no-vig chance the pick hits.
- Value
- EV against the app's own effective price.
Worked example
The strongest example in Antic's cached prices at the last refresh, with the time the prices were read and each book's feed age. Prices move; the times say how old they are.
No pick'em line with a fresh sportsbook price behind it was open at the last refresh. The tool lists them as they appear; this page checks again every minute.
No-vig fair odds calculatorHow the number works
What the number means, what goes into it, how fresh it is and what it can't tell you. More on every number in how Antic's numbers work.
What it means
Hit chance is the sportsbooks' fair chance that the pick goes your way. Break-even is the per-pick chance your entry type needs to pay back over time.
What goes in
- The pick'em app's line
- Sportsbook prices on the same player and line, with their margin removed
- The payout of the entry type you pick
How fresh it is
Each pick shows when the prices behind it were last sent, and a pick is only listed while the sportsbook price behind it is fresh. When you tap a price, Antic checks it again before it opens the book and tells you if it moved.
What it can't tell you
Picks from the same game move together, so stacking them is riskier than the single chances suggest. App payouts and rules change; check them in the app.
The catch. Most pick'em payouts need about 54–58% per pick to break even. Antic never places bets.
How to use Fantasy optimizer
Step 1: Sort by hit chance.
Step 2: Build your entry from the top picks.
Step 3: Avoid stacking picks from the same game.
Open it in the web app or the iPhone app. Antic finds the price; you place any bet yourself, at your own book.
Questions
What hit chance do I need?
It depends on the entry type. Many pick'em payouts need roughly 54–58% per pick to break even; each pick shows the break-even for the entry you choose.
Which apps does it cover?
The pick'em apps in Antic's odds feed where your state allows them. The Books page lists them by state.
Can I build an entry from one game?
You can, but legs from one game are related: if one hits, the others are more or less likely too. Spreading picks across games keeps the chances closer to what is shown.
