A NOTE ON REMI'S UPGRADE (AUG 2025)
In August 2025, Remi received a major upgrade and with it comes a completely refreshed metrics system. We’ve retired our legacy v1 and v2_pre_release data—over 1,058 games worth—and welcomed our brand-new v3 metrics (available by invite only until Fall 2025). To make comparisons cleaner and more intuitive, all unit scales have been normalized to a 0–10 range (replacing the old 0–15 college scale and 0–5 NFL props). Finally, we’ve reorganized our insights into two specialized packages—Vault and Executive Level—so clients can choose the package and price-point that best fits their needs.
Algorithm versions are updated on different schedules—v2 was trained in fall 2023 (and available to all customers beginning then), v3 in fall 2024 (invite-only through fall 2025), and v4 in fall 2025. Those dates mark when each core model was built, but every version continuously ingests live data—to calculate up-to-the-minute probabilities. Successive releases (v3 and v4) also leverage larger, more diverse training sets with additional variables for enhanced predictive power, yet all versions deliver live predictions regardless of when they were originally trained.
When Are New Picks Released?
New picks from Remi are released on weekdays from 1 PM to 4 PM Eastern Time and on weekends from 9 AM to 1 PM Eastern Time. You’ll receive an email notification each time a new pick is issued.
Why Isn't My Game Listed?
Remi calculates probabilities on every game in NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, CFB, and CBB, but only releases a few Top AI Sports Picks each day. If Remi doesn’t release a pick on a game you’re interested in, assume Remi see’s the game as a toss-up.
What Is The Vault?
The Vault is Remi’s most exclusive tier—built for high-stakes and the most serious players. It delivers elite 6+ unit plays, early market signals, and experimental model access from the most advanced AI in sports betting. With strict membership limits, real-time alerts, and high-conviction picks from versions like v4 “Nightfall,” this is the most protected and powerful sports betting intelligence available anywhere.
What Is The Executive Level?
The Executive Level is Remi’s premium daily service—designed for serious, data-driven bettors who want consistent, high-quality picks without the exclusivity barriers of the Vault. It includes spread, total, and prop picks (up to 5 units), all graded with Remi’s internal confidence metrics. Backed by the powerful AI models, it delivers 10–25 curated plays per week, real-time email alerts, and full access to historical performance tools. Perfect for users who value speed, precision, and disciplined volume—without needing an NDA to get in.
What Is The Intel Level?
The Intel Level is Remi’s fast, high-upside feed—perfect for users who want sharp picks without the deep dive. It delivers daily parlays, underdog sleepers, and marquee game insights in a clean, digestible format. No heavy jargon—just smart, surface-level edge you can act on quickly. With 1–3 curated picks per day and daily email/push alerts, it’s ideal for casual to intermediate users looking for smart plays without the analytics overload.
What Is A Unit?
We calculate units using the Kelly Criterion, which combines each pick’s win probability and payout odds. By default, one unit represents 1% of your total bankroll, though many users prefer a more conservative “Quarter Kelly” approach (0.25% per unit). These unit recommendations are provided strictly for informational purposes only and do not constitute advice or a recommendation on whether—or how—to wager. For full details, please see our Terms of Service.
Do Net Units Include Vigorish?
Yes, our Net Unit calculations do include vigorish—the built-in cut that sportsbooks take on bets. Many competitors exclude this in their reporting because it would push their units into negative territory. They also tend to avoid offering free trials for the same reason. We believe in full transparency, even if it means showing the real edge is smaller (or harder) than others might claim.
What Is The -110/+115 Notation?
Moneyline picks are shown using American odds (e.g., -110 or +115).
Spread picks are displayed as point spreads (e.g., +2.5 or -2.5).
Over/Under picks are listed as either OVER or UNDER a specific total (e.g., OVER 205 or UNDER 205).
What Is %Win?
%Win represents the probability that Remi projects the pick will win against the line or spread.
For SPREAD and OVER/UNDER picks, %Win is the chance the team will cover the spread or the total will go Over or Under the given line.
For MONEYLINE picks, %Win reflects the probability that the team will win the game outright.
Example:
Pick: LA +3
%Win: 54.4%
This means Remi projects a 54.4% chance that LA will cover the +3 spread—i.e., they will either win the game or lose by fewer than 3 points.
What Does Against The Spread Mean?
Remi specializes in picks against the spread, including spread-line picks, over/under totals, and moneyline plays—typically with American odds around -110 or better. Occasionally, Remi will recommend a moneyline pick with a strong edge, but never at odds worse than -150.
This disciplined approach is a key reason why Remi’s long-term performance stands out. While some competitors may advertise similar win rates, they often rely on heavy favorites (e.g., -200 or worse) where the payout doesn’t justify the risk. Remi’s picks are grounded in mathematical value, not inflated numbers, and avoid situations where the sportsbook retains too much edge.
What Do The Recent Picks Show?
A sample of Remi’s recent picks for the selected sport. These examples showcase the type of game and prop picks Remi typically releases but may not reflect all available models, versions, or product tiers. Note: This sample does not include Marquee, Underdog, or Parlay Builder picks.
What Does The Scorecard Show?
Remi’s performance metrics span all the sports analyzed, covering key stats like win/loss records, win probability, net units, and estimated historical profit. These insights reflect only game and prop picks from v2 and v3 model versions. Note: Marquee, Underdog, and Parlay Builder picks are not included.
In August 2025, Remi underwent a significant upgrade with a fully refreshed metrics system. Legacy data from v1 and v2_pre_release—covering over 1,058 games—was retired, and the new v3 metrics were introduced (invite-only until Fall 2025). To streamline comparisons, all unit values have been standardized to a 0–10 scale, replacing older ranges like 0–15 for college and 0–5 for NFL props. Metrics are now organized under two product tiers—Vault and Executive Level—allowing users to select the level of access that best suits their strategy and goals.
REMI SPECIFIC NUMBERS & MEANINGS
WHAT LINE DOES REMI USE?
Remi uses the best line available at the time a pick is released. If you’re wondering where the line came from, go to the ‘Compare Odds’ tab to see what book Remi found the line at.
WHAT ODDS DOES REMI USE?
Remi uses average odds across most sportsbooks. Since odds can fluctuate from region to region, sportsbook to sportsbook, and change throughout the day, Remi picks average odds to run unit calculations with. For calculations below, we’ll call this the ‘Average Vegas Odds’.
HOW LONG HAS REMI BEEN AROUND? (ALL TIME)
Remi’s data is tracked back to September 1, 2022. While the tech that feeds Remi has been in development for years, this is when we started tracking Remi’s performance.
Algorithm versions are updated on different schedules—v2 was trained in fall 2023 (and available to all customers beginning then), v3 in fall 2024 (invite-only through fall 2025), and v4 in fall 2025. Those dates mark when each core model was built, but every version continuously ingests live data—to calculate up-to-the-minute probabilities. Successive releases (v3 and v4) also leverage larger, more diverse training sets with additional variables for enhanced predictive power, yet all versions deliver live predictions regardless of when they were originally trained.
WIN PROBABILITY
When Remi releases a pick, this is the probability that team will win outright (moneyline), the probability a team will cover the spread (spread), or the probability the game will go over or under the Average Vegas Line (total).
This is denoted as %WIN or PROB in certain tables
ALL SPORTS
Remi’s data across every sport Remi covers, including NFL, CFB, NHL, MLB, CBB, and NBA.
AGAINST THE SPREAD (vs SPREAD)
Metrics involving Remi’s record picking against the spread and over/under.
Since 99% of Remi’s picks include odds between -130 and +120, we’ve also included near toss-up moneyline picks into the against the spread metrics.
Except in extremely rare circumstances where the Units or EV say otherwise, Remi avoids favorites stronger than -130.
AFTER VIGORISH (AFTER VIG)
A flat -110 vigorish (vig or juice) is applied to every win being analyzed.
Note: Slight favorites (-120) and slight underdogs (+120) are also calculated using the flat -110 vigorish, meaning a slight favorite will have a slightly worse payout than the flat -110 vigorish, and an underdog will have a slightly better payout than the flat -110 vigorish.
We’ve found the -110 flag vigorish is usually within 2% percent of reality either way since 99% of Remi’s picks are between -130 and +120 odds. We’ve also found that over the long term, most of the slight favorites and slight underdogs average themselves out to near a -110 vigorish.
Finally, we’ve chosen this because payout odds can vary from region to region and sportsbook to sportsbook, so the flat -110 vigorish is more fair than showing partiality to odds in certain regions or certain sportsbooks that not everyone may have access to.
NET UNITS AFTER VIG ALL TIME
Remi’s winning units minus losing units, minus a flat -110, or 9% vigorish (juice) on every win. See why we use a flat -110 vigorish in the ‘After Vigorish’ pane.
Algorithm versions are updated on different schedules—v2 was trained in fall 2023 (and available to all customers beginning then), v3 in fall 2024 (invite-only through fall 2025), and v4 in fall 2025. Those dates mark when each core model was built, but every version continuously ingests live data—to calculate up-to-the-minute probabilities. Successive releases (v3 and v4) also leverage larger, more diverse training sets with additional variables for enhanced predictive power, yet all versions deliver live predictions regardless of when they were originally trained.
NET PROFIT ALL TIME AT $$/UNIT
An ESTIMATION of past profit using a flat -110 vigorish,
Since Remi uses a flat -110 vigorish on every pick, this is just an approximation. See why we use a flat -110 vigorish in the ‘After Vigorish’ pane.
Please note, these metrics are trailing indicators and NOT predictive indicators. Remi is a machine learning algorithm that is constantly changing and learning for better or for worse, so past performance and profit estimations are in no way indicative or predictive of future results.

UNIT BAND
Aggregate statistics for every pick released of a certain unit value. For example, every ‘5’ unit pick released has won 55.1% of the time over 436 picks.
UNIT RANGE
Floor calculation for a unit value and every unit value higher. For example, 7+ means every ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, and ’10’ or higher unit pick.
$$/UNIT
Used in profit estimation metrics based on a dollar figure per unit played. This is for informational purposes only as a way to visualize past data, and is NOT a recommendation as to whether or how anyone should wager.
WIN PERCENTAGE ALL TIME
How well Remi performed as a win percentage since Remi’s tracking began.

EXPECTED WIN PERCENTAGE
A mathematically generated probability using a modified Kelly formula and payout odds that correlates a win probability to a unit value. For instance, a ‘4’ unit play is expected to win ~54% of the time at -110 odds.
DATA DISCLAIMERS
The data presented in tables and past record are TRAILING INDICATORS and NOT PREDICTIVE INDICATORS. Remi is a machine learning algorithm that is constantly changing and learning for better or for worse, so past performance and profit estimations are in no way indicative or predictive of future results.
Past profit metrics are ESTIMATIONS ONLY using a hypothetical dollar to unit amount and a flat -110 vigorish approximation. In no way does the platform, Leans.AI, or the picks generated by Leans.AI constitute financial advice. The data presented is for informational purposes only and is not a recommendation as to whether or how anyone should wager.

COMMON SPORTS BETTING NUMBERS & MEANINGS
SPREAD LINE (-4)
Spread bets are wagers placed against a spread line. The spread line is a sports betting number made by oddsmakers to handicap the two teams against one another. When someone places a spread bet, they are betting their team PLUS the spread line will beat the other team. Note the spread line can be negative, which means that team is favored.
A pick of TmA -4 means TmA must win by at least 4 points to cover the spread. A pick of TmB +4 means TmB must win, or lose by less than 4 points to cover the spread.
Another way is a pick of TmA -4 means (TmA -4) must be greater than (TmB) to cover the spread. A pick of TmB +4 means (TmB +4) must be greater than (TmA) to cover the spread.
MONEYLINE (+100)
Moneyline bets are wagers placed on a game’s outcome. They are bets on which team or competitor will win any given match, and the winner will receive a payout at the odds the bet was accepted. When Remi releases a moneyline pick, it will shows in American odds (-110, +100).
TOTAL LINE (OVER 212)
Total or Over/Under bets are bets placed on how many points will be scored in a game. For example, if oddsmakers set an over/under line of 212, and if the total points scored in the game is 200, the game went ‘under’, and any bet on the under for the game would win the payout odds the bet was accepted at.
AMERICAN ODDS (-110, +100)
American Odds are way of presenting sportsbook odds that show how much money must be wagered to win $100 in return (for negative odds), or how much one would win if $100 was wagered (for positive odds). For example, odds of -300 mean one would have to bet $300 to win $100 if their team won. Odds of +140 means a wager of $100 would win $140 in return.
DECIMAL ODDS (1.91)
Decimal Odds are way of presenting sportsbook odds that show how much money will be won if the bet wins as multiplied by a single number. For example, odds of 1.91 mean if one bet $100, they would win $100 * 1.91 = $191 if the bet won. Once the original wager amount is subtracted, they would generate $91 in profit.
PICK
A pick is when Remi finds sufficient evidence to calculate a positive Expected Value (EV), or positive ‘Units’, regarding a team to win outright (Moneyline), cover a spread (Spread), or a game to go over/under the line (Total).
PUSH
When the outcome of the game was exactly the same as the Average Vegas Line, and the play is cancelled.
UNITS OR EXPECTED VALUE (EV)
A Unit is calculated on a mathematical formula (we use a modified Kelly Criterion approach) correlating expected win probability and payout odds. This is also referred to ‘EV’, but for most purpose we’ll use a ‘Unit’.
Typically 1 unit applies to 1% of bankroll, however some find this too aggressive (since Remi can release 20-30 units each day), so often times a ‘Quarter-Kelly’ (1 unit = 0.25% of bankroll) or a ‘Half-Kelly’ (1 unit = 0.5% of bankroll is used).
Just a reminder, this is only for informational purposes and is NOT a recommendation as to whether or how anyone should wager.
LEAN
The strength of the predicted win probability vs the implied probability, strong positive EV, or strong positive ‘Units’.
For most spread picks, the implied win probability is 50%, and after vigorish this changes to 52.4%. In this case, a lean would be any projected win probability greater than 52.4%, and the higher the win probability, the stronger the lean
WIN RECORD
Wins against losses, such as (521-412)
WIN PERCENTAGE
Wins divided by total games, such as (521/933 = 55.8%)
NET WINS
Wins minus losses, such as (521 – 412 = +109)
