Closing line value
Why CLV is tracked in implied-probability space and kept separate from ROI.
What CLV measures
CLV compares the recommendation-time price with a later closing reference. It is a price-quality signal, not a realized profit claim.
How EmpirePicks evaluates it
The system compares implied probabilities from recommendation and close snapshots when matching market history exists.
Why it stays caveated
When a close snapshot is missing, CLV remains null instead of being inferred from a later or unrelated market.
