Worked examples use hypothetical inputs. They are not live picks or evidence of model profitability.
The market name is only the beginning
Player points, rebounds and combined points-plus-rebounds are separate markets. Match the player’s full identity, team, event, period and settlement rules. A prop from a previous matchup can share the same player and line while describing a completely different bet.
One rebound can change the outcome
For an over 7.5 rebound ticket, eight rebounds wins and seven loses. An over 8.5 ticket needs nine. Comparing prices across these lines as though they were interchangeable hides the value of landing on exactly eight. Whole-number lines may also push; check how that affects a single bet or parlay.
Coverage is not completeness
A directory shows the records available to the service, not every sportsbook’s entire menu. Look for the observation time, event start and source before using an entry. Missing fields or restricted data should prompt further checks. Keep your own recorded line and result so later edits do not rewrite the decision you actually made.
Separate no coverage, no participation and no value
No listed price means coverage is unavailable. A player not expected to participate creates a different eligibility issue. A covered, eligible market with an unattractive price is a research conclusion. Do not rank all three situations as zero edge or fill them with a projection from another player or stat.
