How PropPilot Works
Our NBA player-prop methodology, the math behind EV betting, and how to build a winning mindset.
- 01
Player & Game Analysis
We break each player prop into role, opportunity, efficiency, and game context. For the verified public points model, that means minutes, shot volume, finishing, free throws, tonight's matchup, injuries, rest, rotation changes, and whether a teammate's absence shifts the role.
- 02
Player-Prop Projection
We project tonight's player outcome using recent performance as a baseline, then adjust for context. Is a key teammate out? Is it a back-to-back? Is the opponent's defense elite or porous? The methodology is designed for NBA player props, while the public verified record currently starts with points.
- 03
10,000 Game Simulations
We don't just predict a single number. We simulate 10,000 possible versions of tonight's game for each player, varying the inputs that drive the target prop. For points, that includes minutes, shots, shooting accuracy, and free throws. This gives us a full picture of what's likely, not just a best guess.
- 04
Honest Probability Estimation
We’re deliberately conservative. Our probabilities account for the fact that no model is perfect; we build in uncertainty so our confidence levels are honest, not inflated. When we say a pick has a 60% chance, it really hits about 60% of the time.
- 05
Finding the Edge
We compare our player-prop probability to market prices from 5+ sportsbooks, removing the house's built-in margin. Published verified picks today are NBA points props only, and must show positive executable EV with strong data support. We size conservatively and evaluate the best available bettable price.
Track Record
Verified record shown: NBA points props only, Jan – Jun 2026. Other NBA prop markets are in development and do not yet have a public verified track record. Production baseline (PTS only, T-65 safe):
- 59.5% WR on 1222 picks (Jan – Jun 2026, bettable books only)
- Record: 727W – 495L across 130 nights
- Monthly: 59% / 59% / 61% / 59% / 62% / 42%
- Yield: 19.4% on $12,220 wagered
- Sharpe ratio: 7.66
- Edge threshold: 5% minimum
- Audit rows: 1,303 selected, 81 no-action/unknown excluded from settled WR
- Evidence check: one-sided binomial p=1.71e-11; 0 selection-critical NaN cells
- CLV: 1,222/1,222 rows covered, mean 0.11%
Forward expectation: historical replay results are evidence, not a guarantee. Forward live picks remain the true production test.
