Common questions5 questions

How often does theScore Bet have the best price?

On the NFL props we compared at the close (Sep 9 to Oct 26, 2026), theScore Bet had the best price on 28.1% of 14,560 sides, against every US-licensed book that priced the same side at the same line. Ties count for every book that tied. Results vary by market and by night.

What margin does theScore Bet build into its prices?

Across 6,969 two-way NFL prop markets at the close (Sep 9 to Oct 26, 2026), the average margin was 6.74%. That is the two implied probabilities added together, minus 100%.

How many arbs include theScore Bet?

22,591 of the 174,085 arbs our scanner logged from Sep 30, 2026 to Oct 27, 2026 had theScore Bet as one leg. For the median one, the last scan that saw it came 1 min 25 s after the first, so speed and limits decide whether you get one.

Can I bet through Dynatyze?

No. Dynatyze is research, not a sportsbook. We read prices and link you to the book; you place the bet there.

How this is read

Best price is a contest among US-licensed sportsbooks only. A side counts when at least 3 of them priced it at the same line; ties count for every tied book. Reference books, exchanges, offshore books and pick'em apps never compete for best.

Margin is the two implied probabilities of a two-way market added together, minus 100%, averaged over every market the book priced on both sides at one line.

NFL player props: Each book's closing price on the archived feed, captured at kickoff. 95 games, Sep 9 to Oct 26, 2026.

NBA spreads, totals and moneylines: Each book's last quote before tip-off. 68 games, Oct 20 to Oct 28, 2026.

MLB player props: Each book's price five minutes before first pitch, on every line it posted. 1674 games, Mar 25 to Aug 3, 2026.

A market is listed once a book has 200 contested prop sides or 100 two-way prop markets in it (100 and 50 for game lines).

Arbs, middles and low holds are every one our scanner first saw from Sep 30, 2026 to Oct 27, 2026 that has since ended, under the desk's 8% ceiling, a book counted once per event it was a leg of. Four weeks, because the arb ledger keeps every sport whole for about 30 days. Life is the time from the first scan that saw an arb to the last, and scans run about a minute apart.
