# EV Scanner

> Real-time expected value signals for PrizePicks projections

# EV Scanner

The EV Scanner is the heart of Qauntom. It continuously compares PrizePicks projection lines against the consensus odds from major sportsbooks to find plays where you have a mathematical edge.

## How signals are generated

1. **Live odds** are pulled from sportsbooks via the Odds API
2. **Implied probabilities** are calculated from each book's lines
3. **Consensus probability** is derived from the market average
4. **EV is computed** by comparing this consensus to the PrizePicks payout

A positive EV signal means the market thinks the outcome is more likely than the PrizePicks line implies — giving you an edge.

## Reading a signal

Each signal row displays:

| Field         | Description                                         |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Player**    | The athlete and their team                          |
| **Prop**      | The stat category (points, rebounds, assists, etc.) |
| **Line**      | The PrizePicks over/under number                    |
| **Direction** | Over or Under                                       |
| **EV %**      | The expected value percentage                       |
| **Books**     | How many sportsbooks agree with the signal          |

## Signal strength

Higher EV % and more agreeing books generally mean a stronger signal. Signals backed by 3+ books with EV above 5% are considered high-confidence.

  Use the **Filters** to narrow signals by sport, stat type, or minimum EV threshold.
