Todd Foster’s screen-share demonstration shows how a momentum line and 50-percent win-probability threshold translate a live game into a market-style chart.
The brief
Todd Foster, founder of Sports Charts, brings a visual and financial-markets perspective to a basic question: can live sports reveal patterns beyond team knowledge and conventional commentary?
The platform tracks win-probability movement and momentum across football, basketball, and baseball, where scoring frequency and game pace create distinct chart behavior.
Foster demonstrates formations including breakouts, channels, divergences, and cup-and-handle patterns, while stressing that Sports Charts analyzes games rather than predicting or wagering on them.
The most revealing stretch is the live chart walkthrough: a 50-percent threshold and shifting momentum line turn a game’s changing balance into a visual narrative.
Foster’s larger bet is on sports media, where chart-focused analysis could sit beside traditional broadcast commentary, support live viewing, and make technical analysis teachable.
