How do I read a saved BSD Grade report?

Open Grade, choose All your Grades, and select the matching saved analysis. Check the slip first, then read the Grade explanation, factor breakdown, findings and sources. A Grade is a second opinion, not a pick. Its score is not your chance of winning.

For Bettors opening a saved BSD Grade report · Updated

Start with the slip the report actually reviewed

In the Grade tab, All your Grades opens your saved analyses. Select the entry that matches the picks, sportsbook and time you meant to review. On a finished report with a compact slip row, tap that row to expand the ticket details.

Read the selections and saved prices before the letter. A clear explanation of a different ticket still answers the wrong question. The report belongs to its saved ticket; opening it does not turn its prices or research into a fresh sportsbook quote.

  • Check the selection and market, including any spread or total line.
  • Check the sportsbook, saved odds and stake.
  • Use the entry's date to distinguish similar saved analyses.

Use the letter as an entry point

For a current complete report, the four factor bars are Value, Research, Build and Stake. They separate the price assessment, research, slip construction and stake context instead of asking one letter to explain everything.

Open the information control for How this grade works. It explains the saved calculation, factor contributions and relevant limits. An Estimated label, a capped letter or a confidence adjustment matters to the interpretation; read its explanation alongside the score.

Older reports keep their saved presentation. You may see a historical evidence grade or a separate value assessment rather than the current complete report. Read that report's own explanation. A historical evidence score describes the saved evidence assessment, not an event's win probability.

Read what supports the conclusion

Continue through the report's written read and saved research question bank. Open the available source links for the claims that matter to you. Check whether the cited material concerns the right player, team, event and period.

Keep findings and sources separate. A finding is a reviewed evidence row; several findings can rely on the same source. A larger finding count does not necessarily mean more independent sources. If the report shows conflicts or limits, keep them in your reading rather than treating the headline letter as the whole answer.

Leave with an explanation, not a promise

A useful reading ends with a specific understanding: which factor shaped this Grade, what evidence supported it, and what remained uncertain. If you use Open Doctor from a saved analysis, ask about that particular report or finding.

A saved Grade does not establish that a sportsbook accepted a wager or that the selection will win. If the analysis cannot open, use Check saved Grade to retry loading it; an opening error is not a new assessment of the slip.

Illustrative reading example: several findings, one source

Imagine a saved report cites the same published game record in several findings. Read the findings for the different questions they answer, then open that source once to inspect the underlying record. Do not count each finding as a separate independent publication. This is a hypothetical reading exercise, not a customer report or betting result.

Related questions

Does a high Grade score mean the same percentage chance of winning?

No. The Grade and its evidence confidence have their own stated meanings. Neither should be read as the event's win probability. Use the report's calculation explanation and limitations.

Why does an older saved Grade look different?

BSD preserves earlier reports' saved presentation. A historical evidence report and a current complete Grade can show different sections. Read the explanation attached to the report you opened rather than assigning it another report's meaning.
