Grade Clv

Closing-line-value scoring for a list of bets.

Accepts a bet slip and returns per-bet CLV vs the closing line at a sharp book (default pinnacle, falls back to novig if pinnacle didn't price the market). CLV is the +EV-volume bettor's primary validation metric: positive CLV means you beat the closing line, which over a large sample size is the most reliable signal that your strategy is actually +EV regardless of individual-bet win/loss outcomes.

Cost: 2 credits per bet (min 5).
