New Wizard of Odds Features

 We've launched a new settings menu for The Wizard of Odds.


You can now:

  • Toggle the live data here instead of at the bottom of the screen for when you don't want to receive live market updates during periods of intense analysis.  This can be important because if you are testing specific scenarios and using the sliders, live data can affect your comparisons.

  • Reset the map sliders without refreshing the page.  This will reset all manual data to the original position.
