# CLV (Closing Line Value) Tracking - Implementation Complete ✅

**Issue**: #3  
**Phase**: 1 - Analytics Foundation  
**Status**: ✅ Complete (Backend + Frontend + Tests)  
**Completed**: February 4, 2026

---

## Overview

Implemented comprehensive Closing Line Value (CLV) tracking system - the #1 indicator of long-term betting profitability. CLV measures how betting odds compare to closing market lines, providing actionable insights into bet quality regardless of short-term outcomes.

### What is CLV?

**Formula**: `CLV% = ((Closing Implied Prob - Opening Implied Prob) / Opening Implied Prob) × 100`

**Example**:
- Opening odds: +150 (40% implied probability)
- Closing odds: +120 (45.45% implied probability)
- CLV = ((45.45% - 40%) / 40%) × 100 = **+13.6%** 🎯

**Categories**:
- **Positive CLV** (≥ +2%): Value betting, market moved in your favor
- **Neutral CLV** (-2% to +2%): Fair market pricing
- **Negative CLV** (≤ -2%): Poor value, market moved against you

## Implementation Summary

### 🗄️ Database Schema (Prisma)

**BetLeg Model Updates**:
```prisma
model BetLeg {
  // ... existing fields
  closingOdds  Int?           // Odds at game start (captured by scheduled job)
  clv          Decimal(5, 2)? // Calculated CLV percentage
  clvCategory  String?        // "positive" | "negative" | "neutral"
}
```

**New UserCLVStats Model**:
```prisma
model UserCLVStats {
  id               String   @id @default(uuid())
  userId           String
  sport            String?  // Per-sport aggregation
  betType          String?  // Per-bet-type aggregation
  period           String   // "week" | "month" | "season" | "all-time"
  totalBets        Int
  averageCLV       Decimal(5, 2)
  positiveCLVCount Int
  negativeCLVCount Int
  clvWinRate       Decimal(5, 4)
  expectedROI      Decimal(5, 2)
  actualROI        Decimal(5, 2)
  createdAt        DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt        DateTime @updatedAt

  user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
  @@index([userId, period, sport, betType])
}
```

### 🔧 Backend Implementation

#### CLV Service (`dashboard/backend/src/services/clv.service.ts`)

**968 lines** of comprehensive analytics engine:

**Core Methods**:
```typescript
// Capture closing odds 5 minutes before game start
async captureClosingLine(gameId: string): Promise<void>

// Calculate CLV for a specific bet leg
async calculateCLV(betLegId: string): Promise<number | null>

// Generate comprehensive CLV report
async generateCLVReport(userId: string, filters?: CLVFilters): Promise<CLVReport>

// Update aggregated stats by period/sport/betType
async updateCLVStats(userId: string): Promise<void>

// American odds to implied probability conversion
private americanOddsToImpliedProbability(odds: number): number
```

**Odds Conversion Logic**:
```typescript
// Positive odds: +150 → 100/(150+100) = 40%
// Negative odds: -150 → 150/(150+100) = 60%
```

#### API Routes (`dashboard/backend/src/routes/analytics-clv.routes.ts`)

**6 RESTful Endpoints**:

| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `GET` | `/api/analytics/clv/summary` | Overall CLV statistics |
| `GET` | `/api/analytics/clv/by-sport` | Breakdown by sport |
| `GET` | `/api/analytics/clv/by-bookmaker` | Breakdown by bookmaker |
| `GET` | `/api/analytics/clv/trends` | Trends with filtering (date range, sport, betType) |
| `GET` | `/api/analytics/clv/report` | Full detailed report (all sections) |
| `POST` | `/api/analytics/clv/calculate/:betId` | Calculate CLV for specific bet |
| `POST` | `/api/analytics/clv/update-stats` | Trigger aggregated stats update |

#### Scheduled Job (`dashboard/backend/src/jobs/capture-closing-lines.job.ts`)

**Cron Schedule**: `*/5 * * * *` (every 5 minutes)

**Logic**:
1. Query games with `commenceTime` between now and 10 minutes from now
2. For each game with pending bet legs:
   - Fetch current odds from Odds API
   - Store as `closingOdds` on BetLeg model
   - Calculate CLV percentage
3. Log games processed and bet legs updated

**Auto-start**: Enabled if `ENABLE_CLOSING_LINE_CAPTURE=true` in environment

### 🎨 Frontend Implementation

#### Redux State Management (`dashboard/frontend/src/store/clvSlice.ts`)

**State Shape**:
```typescript
interface CLVState {
  summary: CLVSummary | null;
  bySport: CLVBySport[];
  byBookmaker: CLVByBookmaker[];
  trends: CLVTrend[];
  report: CLVReport | null;
  filters: CLVFilters;
  loading: boolean;
  error: string | null;
}
```

**Async Thunks**:
- `fetchCLVSummary()`
- `fetchCLVBySport()`
- `fetchCLVByBookmaker()`
- `fetchCLVTrends(filters)`
- `fetchCLVReport(filters)`
- `calculateBetCLV(betId)`

**Actions**:
- `setFilters(filters)` - Update active filters
- `clearFilters()` - Reset to defaults
- `clearError()` - Clear error state

#### Components

**1. CLVSummaryCard** (`dashboard/frontend/src/components/stats/CLVSummaryCard.tsx`)

## Usage Instructions

### For Developers

**1. Database Migration**:
```bash
cd dashboard/backend
npm run prisma:migrate
npm run prisma:generate
```

**2. Start Backend with CLV Job**:
```bash
# Set environment variable
ENABLE_CLOSING_LINE_CAPTURE=true npm run dev
```

**3. Build Frontend**:
```bash
cd dashboard/frontend
npm run build  # 0 TypeScript errors ✅
```

**4. Run Tests**:
```bash
# Frontend tests
cd dashboard/frontend
npm test  # 13/13 CLV tests passing ✅
```

### For End Users

**1. Access CLV Summary**:
- Dashboard widget displays automatically if bets exist
- Shows average CLV, distribution, win rates

**2. View Detailed Analytics**:
- Navigate to `/analytics/clv` route
- Use filters to drill down by sport, period, bet type
- Export reports as CSV

**3. Understanding CLV**:
- **Positive CLV** = Good bet quality (market moved in your favor)
- **Negative CLV** = Poor bet quality (got worse odds than closing)
- **Goal**: Maintain positive average CLV across all bets

---

## Performance Considerations

**Scheduled Job**:
- Runs every 5 minutes (configurable)
- Only queries games starting in next 10 minutes
- Batch processes all bet legs for matching games
- Minimal API calls (1 per game with bets)

**Database Indexes**:
```prisma
@@index([userId, period, sport, betType]) // UserCLVStats lookups
@@index([commenceTime, status])           // Game queries for job
```

**Frontend Optimization**:
- Redux caching prevents redundant API calls
- Chart library (Recharts) uses virtualization
- Lazy loading for analytics page (future improvement)

---

## Future Enhancements (Phase 2+)

Per Issue #3 specification:

**1. Advanced Filters**:
- Date range picker (start/end dates)
- Multiple sport selection
- Bookmaker selection
- Outcome filter (won/lost/pending)

**2. Additional Visualizations**:
- Heatmap: CLV by sport × time period
- Scatter plot: CLV vs Actual ROI correlation
- Rolling average CLV chart

**3. Notifications**:
- Alert when closing line captured
- Weekly CLV summary email
- Push notification for significant CLV beats

**4. Integration Tests**:
- Backend: CLV calculation accuracy tests
- Backend: Scheduled job integration tests
- Frontend: Component integration tests with React Testing Library

**5. Mobile Optimization**:
- Responsive chart sizing
- Touch-friendly filter controls
- Mobile-optimized bet lists

---

## Key Learnings

**1. Odds Conversion Complexity**:
American odds require different formulas for positive vs negative values. Built reusable helper function for consistency.

**2. Scheduled Job Architecture**:
Node-cron jobs must be stateless and idempotent. Used transaction blocks to ensure atomicity.

**3. Redux Best Practices**:
Used `createAsyncThunk` for automatic loading/error state management. Simplified component logic significantly.

**4. Chart Library Selection**:
Recharts already installed, provides excellent dark mode support out-of-box. No additional dependencies needed.

**5. TypeScript Type Safety**:
Comprehensive type definitions prevent runtime errors. Investment in types pays off during refactoring.
