closing line value, does it really matter that much?
so i'm seeing a bunch of people harp on about closing line value like it's the holy grail, but i'm honestly not sure it's the main thing to look for. i get that beating the line is supposed to show you made a sharp pick, but isn't that only true over a big sample? like if i grab a good number and the line moves, but my picks are still trash, i'm not gonna win in the long run, right?
i play a lot of live dealer but throw down on sports too, and honestly, sometimes i feel way better just trusting my gut instead of trying to out-nerd the market. i screenshot my wins and losses just to keep myself honest, and sometimes the closing line made no difference in the final sweat. anybody here swear by clv or is it kinda overrated in your experience?

CLV can look shiny, but without solid picking, it’s just background noise. My best run betting soccer came from tracking actual outcomes and how they compared to price changes, not just where the line closed. Gut can save you from auto-pilot mistakes, especially when you’re juggling casino and sports action.
Screenshotting is underrated. When you review your bets, it’s like checking the credit balance after a slot session. The story’s in the long view, not any single spin or sweat.
