Why we built TrackFutures

The loop we were all already running

If you track futures seriously, you already know the workaround, because you're doing it: open the book to check a price, open a second book because the first one's numbers looked stale, tab over to a stats or standings page to see if the pace is still on, do the vig math in your head, update the spreadsheet, close it, forget about it until the next line move makes you nervous enough to check again. Repeat that across four books and a dozen open tickets and it stops being tracking and starts being a part-time job nobody's paying you for.

TrackFutures is that loop collapsed into one screen that updates itself. Log a position once — by hand or from a bet-slip screenshot — and it stays live: cost basis, current market value at today's price, and the unrealized P&L between them, for every open position, not just the one you happened to check.

One number, priced across every book that quotes it

The harder problem underneath "show me the current price" is that there isn't one current price — there's DraftKings' number, FanDuel's number, and increasingly a Kalshi or Polymarket number that moves on totally different liquidity. We pull futures from all four (plus The Odds API for the books that expose an API directly) and resolve them onto the same market — same team, same "win it all" line — so a Chiefs Super Bowl ticket shows you what it's worth against the whole field of prices quoting it, not just the one you happened to bet into. That matching is the unglamorous part of this product and also the part that actually took the work: books don't agree on names, market types, or how they slice a threshold market, and getting "Buffalo -110 to win the AFC" and "Bills YES at 41¢" to land on the same row is most of what the backend does.

Standings and pace, next to the number that matters

A price by itself doesn't tell you if a bet is trending your way — you need the stat line behind it. So live stats sit next to every position: where your team or player actually stands in the race, pace against whoever's leading it, and how many games are left to close the gap. It's the context you'd otherwise be getting from a second tab, folded into the same one.

Add a slip without typing it in

Manually entering a parlay slip is exactly the kind of busywork that makes people stop tracking after week two. Bet-slip import reads a screenshot and resolves every leg against the live board — same entity matching that prices the futures — rather than asking a model to guess at our internal ids. And if it can't read a leg cleanly, it says so and asks you to check it, instead of quietly logging a bet that isn't the one you placed. A wrong number you can catch is fine; a wrong number you can't is how people stop trusting a tracker.

Discover: other people's tickets, marked live

Discover is the part of this that isn't just for you. It pulls real futures portfolios people have posted publicly on X and keeps them marked to market the same way your own positions are, so you can see how someone else's Heisman longshot or division bet is actually holding up months later instead of just at the moment they posted it. No account needed to look around.

What this isn't

TrackFutures doesn't take bets, hold funds, or offer betting advice — it's a tracking and pricing layer that sits on top of the books and exchanges you already use. The mark-to-market value it shows you is an estimate off the current line, not a cash figure you can withdraw from us. We think showing that number honestly, including when it's down, is more useful than not showing it at all.
