What's on the sheet
- Odds conversions: American to decimal to implied probability, with a table from -300 to +300.
- The devig in three steps: the multiplicative method LineGoat's scan runs on Pinnacle's two-sided prices, worked through on a -200 / +170 market.
- Overround and hold: the two ways to size a book's margin, and why they differ.
- EV and CLV formulas: with a real EV example from LineGoat's Oct 16, 2026 scan.
- A pre-bet price checklist: built from the filters a price has to pass before LineGoat's scan will publish it.
Why this sheet and not another
The numbers on the sheet are the ones LineGoat's scan runs, and the method behind them is published in full on How Edge of the Day works. The worked example uses a real market: Pinnacle had Georgia State at +306 and James Madison at -391 on Oct 16, 2026, and Hard Rock Bet's +350 on Georgia State came out at +6.3% EV. Pinnacle lines are used only as a sharp reference price; LineGoat doesn't promote betting at Pinnacle.
Every pick is logged publicly, wins and losses, on the Edge Tracker.
Optional: get the Daily Edge newsletter
The Daily Edge newsletter is LineGoat's free email. Issues will carry the scan's Edge of the Day with the math behind it (the sharp price, the fair odds, the best US price and the EV), plus new tools, tool discounts and price drops, as the newsletter page describes. You don't need it to get the cheat sheet.
FAQ
Is the no-vig cheat sheet free?
Yes. Download the PDF from this page. No email address or account is needed.
What is in the cheat sheet?
One page with the odds conversions, an implied probability table, the multiplicative devig in three steps, overround and hold, the EV and CLV formulas, and a checklist built from the price filters LineGoat's scan uses.
Does the cheat sheet help me win bets?
No sheet can promise that. The cheat sheet helps you measure a price against a fair price. A bet that beats the fair price can still lose, and every LineGoat pick is logged publicly, wins and losses, on the Edge Tracker.
Do I have to sign up for the newsletter?
No. The Daily Edge newsletter signup on this page is optional and separate from the download. If you do join, the signup finishes on beehiiv, our newsletter provider, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Fair odds are an estimate, not a promise of a win or a profit. LineGoat is not a sportsbook. Nothing here is betting advice.
