About
Built by analysts. Run like a fund.
Divergent Strategies was founded on one conviction: sports betting markets are inefficient in predictable, exploitable ways. We built the systems, the data infrastructure, and the discipline to take advantage of that — consistently, at scale, over the long term.

Our values
What we stand for.
Intellectual honesty
CLV and ROI reported exactly as they are — good months and bad. No cherry-picking. No smoothed averages. Clients see the full picture, always.
Client confidentiality
Wagering strategies and position data never shared across clients. Each engagement isolated, handled with the same standards as a financial institution.
Long-term thinking
We optimize for expected value over hundreds of wagers, not single-game outcomes. Clients who understand variance are the right fit. Those chasing home runs are not.
