Two perspectives.
One assessment.
Sharp vs Shark is one evolving model viewed through two perspectives. They are not independent competing votes.
- Sharp: the numbers
- An experimental statistical baseline. Its historical results are not proof of future performance.
- Shark: the context
- Sourced news, weather and matchup context. Headlines need verification, and qualitative evidence does not automatically change the forecast.
- Assessment
- How the evidence supports or challenges the baseline. Forecasts are recorded before games and are not rewritten after results.
Member reports
A member report starts from your question and, optionally, the odds you enter with an as-of time. It runs a sourced-research stage, two analysis stages, and a final review that compares arguments rather than counting votes. Odds are never supplied live; you enter them and they are not verified. See an illustrative sample.

Research is not a reason to bet more.
- Sharp vs Shark is a research tool. It does not accept bets, and outcomes are uncertain.
- Sports betting is only legal in some places and for people above the minimum age set where you live. Check the law in your jurisdiction before betting.
- Decide in advance what you can afford to lose, and do not chase losses.
- Keep an honest record. The private journal is there so your real results are never confused with hypothetical ones.
