Practical workflow

How to Use Otterline

A disciplined process for reading model agreement, narrowing the slate, and keeping staking decisions consistent over time.

Check Consensus

See where multiple prediction models agree on the same game. Higher agreement means stronger signal.

Four curated pick types built from consensus plus performance data.

OT Protection

Elite and Strong near-coinflip underdogs where our backtest says +1.5 protection materially improves survival against one-goal and OT losses.

Power Plays

High win-rate filters based on consensus and model-combo performance. Best for steady daily volume.

Diamond Edge

Strong hit rate plus favorable value setups. Built for consistency with selective exposure.

Underdog-style spots where model confidence is ahead of market price. Higher variance, long-run ROI.

Working principles

What To Expect

  • Bet with fixed units and pre-planned limits.
  • Review results over 50 to 100 bets minimum.
  • Use consensus as signal, then curate.
  • Track outcomes monthly, not game-by-game emotionally.

Risk discipline

How Not To Use Otterline

  • Do not chase losses by doubling stake size.
  • Do not judge the system by one day or one week.
  • Do not bet every game because it appears on the board.
  • Do not override sizing rules after a hot or cold streak.
