FUTURESDESK · CFB PRICE LAB
Reference intelligence · no picksPrice the number, not just the team.
The FuturesDesk CFB Price Lab is a free browser-based tool for checking a complete college-football market: it removes two-way margin when both sides are supplied, compares spread and moneyline context, flags nearby key numbers, and prices bettor-favorable half-points without turning the output into a pick.
Put one same-book college-football market under a microscope. The lab removes market margin where a complete two-way quote is supplied, compares spread and moneyline context, highlights nearby key numbers, prices what a sportsbook is charging for a bettor-favorable half-point, and turns the result into a portable receipt you can recheck later.
See the hidden margin
De-vig both market sides instead of treating a one-sided implied probability as fair.
See the key number
Know when a half-point sits on or near 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, or 21.
Price the half-point
Compare what the book charges with a historical push-conditioned benchmark.
Keep the receipt
Carry the exact line, price, benchmark, and evidence context into your next comparison.

Inspect the key-number context
Enter both sides of the same sportsbook moneyline. FuturesDesk removes the two-way margin, compares it with the spread reference, then adds key-number and line-shopping context.
No pick is generated. No expected value is asserted. The output is a price-intelligence receipt you can inspect and recheck.

Is the half-point worth what the book is charging?
Compare the same-book price before and after a bettor-favorable half-point. When the move takes you off an exact key, FuturesDesk benchmarks the book charge against the historical push frequency at that closing spread.
Example: compare -7 -110 with -6.5 -130. If you also enter the same-book +7 price from the same quote snapshot, FuturesDesk removes the base two-way margin before benchmarking the cost of turning the 7-point push into a win.
The calculator prices an incremental line move against historical push behavior. It does not prove the underlying side is profitable.

Method note: the spread-vs-moneyline engine remains a reference baseline. The half-point calculator is a separate historical benchmark for bettor-favorable moves off exact supported keys. It uses 2016–2025 closing-spread-conditioned push rates at 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, and 21; when both base spread sides are supplied it multiplicatively de-vigs the non-push outcome shares before converting the historical push state into a win at the improved line. The 95% band shown is a Wilson sampling interval for the historical push rate, not a prediction interval for one game. Without the opposite-side base quote, the calculator falls back to a weaker base-price anchor and says so explicitly. The tool does not establish expected value, a sportsbook need, sharp action, or a wager recommendation; neither benchmark path creates wager authority.
