Updates to the Iron Marker scanner
August 6, 2026 — A failed renewal no longer locks you out
- Stripe flags a subscription past-due on the first declined renewal charge, then retries your card for about two weeks. Iron Marker used to cut access the moment that flag flipped — now you keep full Pro access through the retry window, with a banner linking to the billing portal so you can fix the card.
- Checkout won't sell you a second subscription if you already have one — a double-click or a stale tab used to be able to.
August 5, 2026 — Player props reach the board
- Player props (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) now show up in scans and in Telegram alerts, with the player, stat and line spelled out — "LeBron James · Points Over 24.5" instead of a bare market key.
- The props on/off switch in Settings is wired end to end, and props no longer get filtered out by your mainline market picks.
- Telegram setup now tells you to tap Start on the alert bot first — Telegram blocks bots from messaging you until you do, which was silently killing alerts for new users.
- Props still settle by hand from the Settle button: the odds feed carries team scores, not player stat lines.
August 4, 2026 — Password reset
- Forgot your password? There's now a reset link on the sign-in screen and a recovery screen to set a new one.
- You can also change your password from the account menu without signing out.
July 25, 2026 — The Cost of Loyalty Index
- Published our first research piece: 21 days of odds archiving, 64 snapshots, 13,707 markets — what betting at a single book actually costs you versus shopping the board.
July 11, 2026 — Free tier
- You can now use Iron Marker without paying: a free account sees the top +EV bets from every scan, with the book names masked.
- Free accounts also get a weekly email digest of what the scanner found, with one-click unsubscribe.
- Pro unlocks the full board, every book, Telegram alerts, CLV and the Analysis tab.
July 4, 2026 — Stricter fair odds, and an odds ceiling
- Fair probability is now the worst case across de-vig methods rather than a single method, so marginal bets stop sneaking onto the board as +EV.
- New max-odds setting: cap how long a shot the scanner will show you, so a +900 lottery ticket never tops your list.
July 1, 2026 — Put the EV calculator on your own site
- The EV calculator is now an embeddable widget: grab the iframe snippet from /tools/embed/ and drop it into your own page.
- The free tools are linked from the homepage nav and a resources section, so you no longer have to know the URL to find them.
June 30, 2026 — Free tools, a glossary and sportsbook pages
- Seven free tools at /tools/, no account needed: EV, no-vig, Kelly, hold, parlay and arbitrage calculators plus an odds converter.
- Three more guides — line shopping, arbitrage betting and de-vigging methods — plus a betting glossary.
- Per-book +EV pages for DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, theScore Bet and Fanatics.
June 29, 2026 — Telegram alerts
- Telegram alerts are live: get pinged the moment a bet clears your EV and Kelly thresholds instead of watching the board. Set it up in Settings.
June 21, 2026 — Guides, and tracking polish
- Four plain-English guides to the maths the scanner runs on: positive EV, no-vig fair odds, closing line value and the Kelly criterion.
- The bet calendar shows P&L and your win-loss record for the month you're looking at.
- Pending bets reconcile when the app loads and from any tab, not just the Pending tab.
- Prop bets carry their stat type everywhere — "Strikeouts Under 3.5", not just "Under 3.5".
June 17, 2026 — Duplicate-pick warnings across books
- If a bet you're about to track is the same pick you already have at a different book, you get warned. Previously the check only caught duplicates at the same book, so you could quietly double your exposure on one side.
June 16, 2026 — Pick your own books
- Choose exactly which sportsbooks the scanner watches, and the scan only spends credits on those.
- Offshore and exchange books are now in the mix, tagged on every row so you always know what you're looking at.
- Settings filters and the book list are grouped and collapsible instead of one long wall.
- A running count of +EV bets found today.
June 15, 2026 — Closing line value
- Every tracked bet now gets Pinnacle's closing line captured automatically, and the Analysis tab reports your average CLV and beat-the-close rate — the honest read on whether you have an edge.
- Audible alert when new +EV bets land, with an on/off toggle.
- Pause and resume live scanning.
June 14, 2026 — Public launch
- Iron Marker is live: real-time +EV scanner across major U.S. sportsbooks.
- Pinnacle's sharp line as the fair-odds source, with fractional Kelly stake sizing.
- Bet tracking + ROI dashboard, plus deep links straight to the bet slip.
