Closing line
A sportsbook's last price before the fight starts: the market's final, best-informed view of the fight.
The closing line has absorbed every piece of news before the fight, from weigh-ins to late money, so it is the hardest price to beat. Beating it over many bets is the standard test of a betting model.
get_odds returns each book's opening and closing moneyline where one was posted, from 2024 on; get_fighter_fights carries the median closing line for each of a career's fights that has one.
The common mistake
Books differ. Use one book's close consistently, or the median across books, rather than picking the best price after the fact.
