One Clear Decision.
thePointMonster watches every live game for you. When every box lights up, you get a FIRE alert: all conditions met. Plus the lowest line, and a buzz on your phone. When they don't, it's Stay Away.

Duke74Tonight's Free FIRE
FIRE = all conditions met. It only shows late in a game, when the line is far enough from our number. No FIRE, conditions not met.
The first FIRE of every night is free for everyone. It shows up right here, live, the moment it fires. Then you see how it played out.

How It Works
It Watches the Game.
You Get the Decision.
thePointMonster watches every live game for you. Each game has a checklist. When every box on the checklist lights up, it says FIRE. That means: all conditions met.
The Golden Rule
Every FIRE card shows a thePointMonster Total. It's the highest line where the OVER conditions hold.
The Decision Window
The later in the game, the sharper thePointMonster gets. 4:00 Left is the sharpest point.
Later is sharper, but by 3:00 many books have pulled the line.
- Aim close to 4:00 left.
- Only while the line is still up.
- Line gone? Conditions no longer hold.
Books pull their lines late in games. We'll set the exact decision time in the first weeks of the season, once we know when each book closes.

FAQs
It Also Tells You When Conditions Aren't Met.
Most games don't fit the rules. thePointMonster only says FIRE when every box lights up. The rest of the time it says Stay Away, and that saves you money.
