About Manometer

What is Manometer?

A measurement engine for sports betting prices. It collects odds from more than 90 bookmakers, compares every price with the Pinnacle fair price, and scores every bet and every signal against the closing line.

Around that engine sits a network: account holders who let the Agent bet for them, tipsters and syndicates who send signals, and professionals who use the live board. We sell measurement. We never take the bet.

Is Manometer a bookmaker or a tipping service?

Neither. We do not accept bets, we do not hold player funds, and we do not sell tips. Bets are placed on the account holder's own accounts. What we provide is the measurement and the automation, and on the Agent we are paid only when it works.

What is closing-line value (CLV)?

The price you got compared with the final price before kick-off, with the bookmaker's margin removed. If you took 2.10 and the market closed at a fair 2.00, your CLV is +5 %. The guide to closing line value shows the calculation step by step.

Beating the closing line consistently is the only early proof of skill in betting. Profit over a few hundred bets is mostly luck; CLV is not. That is why every promotion in the network is earned with CLV, never with profit alone.

Why is Pinnacle the reference?

Pinnacle runs the sharpest, lowest-margin market and welcomes winning customers, so its prices absorb the information of the best bettors in the world. With the margin removed, its price is the closest thing to a true probability that the market offers. Every serious bettor uses it as the yardstick.

Can I earn by bringing people to the network?

Yes. Everyone in the network can get a personal link with one click in the member area, and anyone else can register as an affiliate. You earn 25 % of what we earn from the people you bring, for as long as they stay. The affiliate page has the details.

Can I hold several roles with one login?

Yes. Sign up for one role, then add the others in your member area under "Roles": accept the conditions of that role and you are done. Tipster and affiliate work at once. As an account holder you confirm your email, and your account is there.

For tipsters, syndicates and modellers

I am a tipster with paying members. Is this for me?

Yes. Your members cannot check your record; here anyone can. You can keep your service exactly as it is, because nothing here is exclusive. If your picks beat the closing line, you get a record you can show to the world and a share of the profit they make on partner accounts.

We are a syndicate. Why would we send you anything?

Because execution is the hard part, and here it is already built. You keep your method, your data and your other outlets. You qualify without showing a single pick, you see every bet placed from your signals, and your share is computed from settled results anyone can check.

What do you do with the signals you receive?

Score them, and from live_small on, execute the ones that proved themselves on partner accounts. They are never shown on any board and never passed to partners before placement. We score outputs; we never ask for the model.

Can you see my picks before kick-off?

Not if you seal them. A sealed proposal is encrypted with a time lock to the drand round of kick-off. Before that round nobody can open it, including us. At the round, the public drand beacon opens it and the referee scores it as of the second it was received.

What if I send a pick after the line has moved?

It is scored at the moment we received it, against the market snapshot of that second. A pick sent after the move gets the closing-line value after the move. That is exactly what the scorecard is there to show.

How are signal sources paid?

15 % of the net profit of the bets executed from your signals, with a high-water mark on your own signal book, paid monthly. We split our 30 % with you 50:50, and the account holder's 70 % stays untouched. These terms are confirmed in writing before any source goes live.

Are signals being executed today?

Not yet. Every source runs on paper in the referee today, which is the point of qualifying. Execution on partner accounts starts with the first sources that reach live_small.

Do I have to make my scorecard public?

No. It is private until you publish it, and you can withdraw it at any time. In public it only ever shows weekly totals. You can always download your full bundle and show it to anyone you like; it verifies without our server.

Can I send live tips?

Yes, for winner markets (1X2, money line). Find the running match in the console, or set live: true through the API. A live tip goes in clear, because the match has already started, and it counts the moment it arrives, if a network bookmaker still offers your minimum odds. There is no closing line in play, so a live tip is judged on two things: its EV when it arrives, against the fair price of that moment (Pinnacle live first, otherwise Sportmarket with the margin removed), and its result. If there is no fair price, the result alone counts. A live tip in a market we do not score, or without a fresh price at a network bookmaker, does not count against you.

Why do scorecards show totals only?

Because signals run on real bookmaker accounts, and a public list of every bet would show too much. Every proposal still counts: sealed until kick-off, signed and anchored in Bitcoin every hour, so the record stays fully checkable later. The full record stays with the source. In certain cases we grant access, for example to investors, partners or auditors under confidentiality.

Which markets are scored?

Today: 1X2 and money lines, football handicaps and totals, basketball spreads and totals, wherever the board has a Pinnacle fair price. A proposal is executable when a network bookmaker offers at least your minimum odds at receipt.

For account holders

Is the Manometer Agent a betting bot?

In plain words, yes: software that places bets automatically on your bookmaker accounts. It runs on your computer, on your accounts, and you choose the bookmakers, the agents and the stake per bet. The engine decides which bets have value; the Agent places them, reads the ticket back and reports. Our guide to betting bots explains what to look for.

Do you ever hold my money?

No. Your money sits in your bookmaker accounts; you deposit and you withdraw. We send an invoice for our share after the month is settled.

What do I have to bring?

Both: the bookmaker accounts and the money in them. There is no pool and no outside capital in this network. In a betting group, each account holder runs the Agent on their own account.

How is profit defined for the split?

Settled net profit on your program accounts, above your high-water mark. Voids count as zero, cash-outs at the cash-out value, open bets only once they settle. Deposits and withdrawals are not profit.

What is the high-water mark?

The highest level your program accounts have reached since you joined. The share applies only to profit above it. After a losing month you pay nothing until the loss is recovered, so you never pay twice for the same euro of profit.

What does the Agent report?

Placement reports with ticket, odds and stake, the balance where the bookmaker shows it, which bookmakers are signed in, and a heartbeat. That is the bookkeeping your statement is built from, and all of it is visible in your dashboard.

What happens when a bookmaker limits my account?

It will happen: winning accounts get limited. When an account is limited, it leaves the program and nothing else changes. What a bookmaker does with an account, including closing it or withholding funds, is the account holder's risk, which is why you start with small stakes.

Can I see the live board as an account partner?

Yes, it is free. Bets on your program accounts keep counting toward the split, whether the Agent placed them or you did. On manual bets on other accounts that you log in the bet log, 10 % of new profit applies.

Can I place my own bets on a program account?

You can, and you report them: they count toward the split, because they come from the same information. Keep a separate account for private betting.

Which bookmakers can I connect?

Prices come from more than 90 bookmakers across Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, and the list keeps growing. The Agent places bets on a growing list of them, and you choose which ones it uses. New bookmakers can be connected quickly. Which bookmakers you use, and whether that is permitted where you live, is your decision and your responsibility.

What do I need to start?

One or more bookmaker accounts with money in them, and a computer that is on while the Agent works. You must be at least 18.

Can I stop at any time?

Yes. Switch the Agent off, or take an account out of the program. Open bets settle, the month is invoiced, and that is the end of it.

For professionals

What does the board cost?

Nothing during the start-up phase, and you need no payment details. On manual bets in your bet log we charge 10 % of new profit from 1 November 2026, only above your highest level so far, once a month. If we change the price, we tell you at least 30 days ahead.

Can I have the live board and an Agent partnership?

Yes. Bets on your program accounts count toward the split, manual bets on other accounts in the bet log toward the 10 %. The same bet never counts twice.

Proof and verification

What exactly can I verify myself?

Every receipt's signature and timestamp, that every seal opened at its drand round and not before, the market snapshot each proposal was scored against, the closing line, the result, the CLV and the paper profit, and that nothing was added to or removed from a scorecard. The verifier needs the bundle and nothing from our servers.

Does open source prove what runs on your server?

No, and nobody should claim it does. Open source proves what we publish. The protection for a signal source comes from the seal: in the valuable window, before kick-off, we only hold ciphertext. What runs on our server afterwards cannot change what the receipts already fixed.
