What to ask the Claude connector

Questions it answers well

Ask in plain English — you never name a tool. Claude reads the question, calls whatever DawBets tools it needs, and reports back. These shapes work:

• ●“Where’s the best price on the Yankees moneyline?” Every book DawBets tracks, ranked, with the fair price beside the best number.
• ●“Which +EV edges are on my sportsbooks?” The same board the app shows, narrowed to the books saved on your account.
• ●“Is this slip worth it?” Paste the slip or drop in a screenshot; each leg is matched and re-priced against the fair number.
• ●“What am I exposed to tonight?” Your open tracked bets: cash at risk, and a split by league and game that flags any game you are on twice.
• ●“What’s a 30% profit boost on this parlay actually worth?” The boosted price, the extra profit, and the edge before and after.
• ●“Why is the Dodgers moneyline +EV?” The de-vig arithmetic behind one row, in words.
• ●“Any two-leg parlays worth building at FanDuel tonight?” Combinations where both legs sit at the same book, from different games — a parlay is one ticket at one book.
• ●“I just took the Yankees moneyline at DraftKings — log it.” Records a bet you already placed into your DawBets history.

The three words it keeps using

• ●Expected value (EV) — whether the price offered beats what the outcome is really worth. The long version.
• ●De-vig — stripping a book’s built-in margin out of its price to recover the honest one underneath. That is the “fair price”. How it works.
• ●Closing line value (CLV) — whether the price you took beat the price the market settled on. Ask for your record and, once enough of your bets have been scored, it comes back as a win-loss-push count rather than just a rate. What that record measures.

The four kinds of thing it can do

Bet logging is live for every connector user. It sits behind its own switch, and that switch fails closed — so if Claude ever reports that recording bets is not enabled, it is off at our end for the moment rather than missing from your account. Everything else keeps working, and you can track the bet at My Bets in the meantime.

How fresh the numbers are

The connector serves pre-game markets only. There are no in-game lines, and it is instructed never to call what it returns live or real-time. Every row carries its own last_fetched_at stamp, and Claude is told to mention that age when a row has gone stale.

What it will not do

• ●It will not pick bets for you. Everything it returns describes how a price compares to a fair price. A positive edge is not a prediction about who wins.
• ●It will not tell you how much to stake. Your bankroll and average bet size are deliberately unreadable by the connector, so no stake figure can be assembled. The hedge and arbitrage calculators only split an amount you type in.
• ●It will not place a bet, move money or change a setting — the full boundary is in What the Claude connector can see.
• ●It will not analyse a same-game parlay on Plus. That pricing needs Pro; straight bets and cross-game parlays work on Plus. How we price a same-game parlay.

Getting better answers

1. 1

   Save your sportsbooks and your state in Settings

   Pick your books on Settings and “edges on my books” narrows automatically. With none saved, the connector says so and returns nothing rather than quietly showing you the whole market. Your state decides which books a “what’s available near me” answer covers.

2. 2

   Use the one-click starters

   Claude lists four DawBets starters in the connector menu beside its message box — Daily edge briefing, Check a bet slip, Line shop a selection and My open exposure.

3. 3

   Name the league, market or book

   “NBA player points props at DraftKings” matches the board far more reliably than “find me something good”.

Where the links in its answers go

The connector never hands Claude a raw sportsbook URL. Bet links point back at DawBets and pass through a “You’re leaving DawBets” notice on the way to the book — it names the book, the matchup and the market, carries the 21+ reminder, and never loads a bet slip. The “You’re leaving DawBets” screen explains what Continue opens and how to skip the notice.
