Closing line value refers to the difference between the odds at which a bettor places a wager and the odds available at the time the event starts, specifically the final odds or "closing line." This concept is significant in sports betting as it reflects how the market views a particular bet at the end of the betting period. If a bettor secures odds that are better than the closing line, it indicates that they made a favorable bet since the market has moved in a way that suggests a lower probability of that outcome occurring.

Closing line value is a key concept in sports betting, as it can help bettors assess the quality of their bets and their overall performance. By comparing the odds at which a bet was placed with the closing line odds, bettors can determine whether they are consistently beating the market or if they are consistently getting worse odds than what was available later.
Achieving a positive closing line value indicates that a bettor has an edge over the market and is making bets that are more favorable than what the market ultimately settled on. On the other hand, consistently having a negative closing line value might suggest that a bettor is not getting the best of the line and may need to refine their betting strategies or timing.
By tracking closing line value over time, bettors can gain insights into their betting performance, identify strengths and weaknesses in their strategy, and make adjustments accordingly. It can help bettors understand if they have a skill in predicting outcomes better than the market or if they need to work on improving their betting timing and decision-making process.
