Getting Started

What is Vantage Sports Intelligence?
Vantage is an all-in-one sports intelligence platform that combines live odds across 17+ sportsbooks, real-time arbitrage scanning, +EV edge detection, DFS player-prop analysis, a verified handicapper leaderboard (ClutchRank), per-game live chat, and 80+ sports radio streams. One tab. Everything you'd otherwise have ten browser tabs for.
How is this different from OddsJam or Action Network?
OddsJam is a great calculator but starts at $99/mo and gates real tools at the Pro tier. Action Network is editorial-heavy and monetizes through promo-code revenue. Vantage gives you live odds, arbs, +EV, DFS, chat, and a verified leaderboard in one tab, starting at $9.99. No income claims, no tout services, no upsell pop-ups.
I'm new to sports betting — will I get lost?
Probably not. The default view is just live odds and scores, which works like every sports app you've used. Arbs, +EV, and DFS edges are separate tabs you can ignore until you want them. We don't bury anything behind a tutorial wall, but we do have an optional 5-minute onboarding checklist on the How It Works page.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Two ways: (1) The free Basic tier — limited features but no time limit and no credit card. (2) The 7-day money-back guarantee on Edge+ and Pro. If you're not satisfied within the first week, get every dollar back, one-click cancel.

Features & Tools

What sports do you cover?
NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB, UFC, golf, plus Kalshi and Polymarket prediction markets. 30+ sports total. If a major book takes action on it, we're tracking the line.
How accurate are the odds, and how often do they refresh?
We pull directly from sportsbook feeds via TheRundown — same source the pros use. Lines refresh roughly every 10 seconds. The Best-Odds toggle always reflects the highest available price across the 17+ books we track.
Can I trust the handicappers on ClutchRank?
That's the whole point. Every pick is logged before tipoff and auto-settled by the box score — no edited screenshots, no deleted tweets. The leaderboard shows W-L, units, and ROI for the day, week, month, and all-time. If someone's at the top, they earned it.
How does the arbitrage scanner work?
An arb is when two books price the same event with a gap big enough that betting both sides locks in profit regardless of outcome. Vantage continuously scans 17+ books and surfaces opportunities the moment the math works. Each row shows the two books, exact stake split per leg, and edge percentage.
What is "+EV" and how does Vantage find it?
+EV (positive expected value) is when a retail book offers a price that's better than the sharp consensus — meaning over time, a bet at that price should be profitable. Vantage compares retail-book prices against the sharp consensus from books like Pinnacle and surfaces edges in real time, with tunable thresholds.
Does Vantage have an iOS or Android app?
Not yet — but the web app is fully responsive and works on any modern phone or tablet browser. Native iOS and Android apps are on the 2026 roadmap. Push notifications already work via your phone's browser.

Billing & Subscriptions

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — one click from your account page. No retention call, no exit survey, no email tag. You keep access until the end of your paid period and then move to the free Basic tier automatically.
How does the 7-day money-back guarantee work?
If you cancel an Edge+ or Pro subscription within 7 days of your first charge, we refund the full amount automatically. No hoops, no email tag. Day 7 means day 7 — midnight your timezone. Yearly purchases qualify too.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and the difference is prorated to your next billing date. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current period (so you don't lose access mid-month).
Do you offer student or military discounts?
Yes — 30% off any tier with a valid .edu email address or active military verification through ID.me. Email [email protected] from the verified address to claim.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) plus Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe. We do not require a credit card for the free Basic tier.

Account & Security

Do I need to give you my sportsbook login?
No, never. Vantage doesn't connect to your sportsbook accounts. We pull public odds data through licensed feeds. Your money, your bets, your accounts — all stay with the books.
What data do you collect about me?
Email and display name on signup. Picks you save, alert preferences, and which handicappers you follow — used purely to power the product. No selling to third parties, ever. Full details on the privacy policy page.
Is two-factor authentication available?
Yes. Authenticator-app 2FA is available on all tiers in your account settings. SMS 2FA isn't supported (it's less secure). We strongly recommend enabling 2FA after signup.
How do I delete my account?
Account → Delete Account. Click confirm and we wipe your record within 30 days (the GDPR window). If you just want to stop paying, cancel your subscription — you don't need to delete the account, and your ClutchRank record stays intact.

Technical & Data

Where does your odds data come from?
We're a licensed customer of TheRundown's enterprise sports-data API, plus direct partnerships with several books. Same data feeds the books and large media companies use. Refresh cycle is roughly 10 seconds.
Do you have an API I can use?
API access is included on the Pro tier (read-only, rate-limited) and on Enterprise plans (full read/write, webhooks, custom rate limits). Email [email protected] for API documentation and access.
What's your uptime track record?
99.94% over the last 90 days. Live status page at status.vantagesi.com shows current operational status and incident history. We post real post-mortems for any incident over 5 minutes.
What if a sportsbook isn't on your list?
Email us at [email protected] and we'll evaluate adding it. New sportsbook integrations typically ship within 4–6 weeks if the data feed is licensable. We add 1–2 new books per quarter on average.
