What Is the TPC Score™? The Pick Club’s Exclusive Rating System

Introduction

When you look at betting odds, you see the price — but not the whole story. A -110 favorite doesn’t tell you if the bet is truly worth your money. A +200 underdog doesn’t reveal whether it’s actually undervalued. That’s why we created the TPC Score sports betting model. It’s The Pick Club’s proprietary 1–10 rating system that measures both:

• How likely a bet is to win (probability)
• Whether the odds offer an edge (value)

Instead of forcing bettors to calculate probabilities and compare them against lines, the TPC Score does it automatically. The result: one simple number that makes smarter decisions faster.

This guide will explain what the TPC Score sports betting system is, how it’s built, and why it matters.

Why Bettors Need More Than Odds

Most new bettors think odds = probability. But odds also include vig (the sportsbook’s cut) and market influence (public money, hype, injury news). That means posted odds don’t always equal true likelihood.

Without adjustment, bettors often:

• Overestimate favorites with poor value.
• Chase longshot underdogs with inflated prices.
• Ignore hidden edges where probability quietly beats the line.

The TPC Score fixes this by combining true win probability with value vs. sportsbook odds.

How the TPC Score™ Works

At its core, the TPC Score balances two critical factors:

• Win Probability – our predictive models, team stats, and simulations estimate the true likelihood that a bet will win.
• Value vs. Odds – we compare that true win probability to the sportsbook’s implied probability (the break-even rate hidden in the odds).

The TPC Score = the strength of a bet, distilled into a 1–10 scale.

What the Scale Means:

• 1–3: Weak play — low win probability or no edge.
• 4–5: Neutral — probability roughly equals implied odds.
• 6–7: Solid edge — probability exceeds implied odds by a meaningful margin.
• 8–9: Strong value — high win probability and favorable odds combined.
• 10: Rare elite play — exceptional alignment of probability and price.

Examples in Action

Example 1: NFL Spread

• Odds: Team A -3.5 (-110)
• Implied probability: 52.38%
• Model projection: 56% chance to cover
• Edge: +3.62%
• TPC Score = 7 (solid edge)

Example 2: MLB Underdog

• Odds: +145
• Implied probability: 40.8%
• Model projection: 47% chance to win
• Edge: +6.2%
• TPC Score = 8 (strong value)

Example 3: NBA Total

• Odds: Over 228.5 (-105)
• Implied probability: 51.2%
• Model projection: 51.5%
• Edge: +0.3%
• TPC Score = 5 (neutral)

Why the TPC Score™ Matters

Sports betting is about making good bets, not chasing every win. You can lose a TPC 8 bet on a bad bounce, but over time, those plays win at a profitable rate.

The TPC Score:

• Keeps you focused on long-term value.
• Helps you avoid emotional bets.
• Aligns closely with Closing Line Value (CLV) — the gold standard for sharp bettors.

The higher the TPC Score, the more likely you’re putting money into a positive expected value (EV) position.

Conclusion

The TPC Score is more than just another betting metric — it’s your shortcut to combining probability and value into one decision-making tool. By translating raw data into a 1–10 scale, it helps you quickly see which bets are worth your money and which to avoid.
