Steam Moves
Track steam moves and notable moneyline movement across 100+ sportsbooks in 8 regions. Linewhale compares the current sportsbook moneyline to an earlier price in the selected window, then converts the change into implied probability percentage points. Spreads and totals are intentionally left out -- our odds data only captures 1-2 alt-line points per book, so a different point at a later poll is usually just a different line, not real movement.
Use this page to find games where the market has shifted quickly, identify which sportsbook moved, review the outcome and price change, and click through to the event page for full odds comparison and line movement history. The minimum move filter is a threshold, so a 10 pt setting shows moves of 10.00 implied probability points or more.
Premium feature
Get in before the price disappears. Upgrade to Premium to see the moment sharp bettors move a line, while the old number is still out there.

Steam moves FAQ
What is a steam move in sports betting?▾
A steam move is a fast, notable moneyline movement across the betting market. It usually happens when sportsbooks react to sharp betting action, injury news, lineup changes, weather, or another market signal that changes the perceived probability of an outcome.
How does Linewhale measure steam moves?▾
Linewhale compares the current sportsbook moneyline price to an earlier price in the selected time window and converts both prices into implied probability. The move is measured in implied probability percentage points.
Why moneyline only, not spreads or totals?▾
Our odds data only captures 1-2 alt-line points per bookmaker for spreads and totals, not the full menu of lines a real book offers. That means two spread or total readings taken at different times can be genuinely different lines the data happened to capture, not a real price move -- so we do not show them here to avoid false signals. Moneyline has no such ambiguity, so it is the only market where a price change is a reliable steam-move signal today.
Does a steam move mean I should bet that side?▾
No. A steam move shows that the market price changed, not that a bet is automatically valuable. Steam can help you spot where sportsbooks moved, which books are lagging, and which events deserve closer review before placing a wager.
What does the minimum move filter mean?▾
The minimum move filter shows moves at or above the selected implied probability point threshold. For example, 10 pts means the page only shows odds that moved by 10.00 implied probability percentage points or more within the chosen window.
Why use implied probability instead of American odds movement?▾
American odds do not move linearly, so a 20-cent move can mean different things depending on whether the price is plus money or heavily favored. Implied probability gives a cleaner view of how much the market expectation changed.
