How NBA smart-money alerts work

From wallet, to your phone.

Top NBA traders place a bet

Our system detects when a high-ranked wallet enters an NBA market (Celtics spread, Lakers total, playoff futures). We know their history: win rate, average bet size, category performance.

We score the conviction

If a trader who normally bets $500 puts $5,000 on Celtics −7.5, that's a conviction score of 8+. They're telling you they see value the market hasn't priced in yet.

You get an instant Telegram alert

Within seconds: the game, the line, the trader's win rate, and the conviction score. You decide whether to follow. Your money stays in your Polymarket smart wallet.
