About BetterView

BetterView watches every live NFL and MLB game at once and tells you which one is worth watching right now — for your team, under your league's rules. Connect your fantasy league and it scores each live game by how much it can still affect your roster, then keeps that list ordered as the games unfold. When something changes, a small overlay on the site you're already watching tells you where to go, and can take you there in one click. WHY IT RANKS BETTER THAN A SCOREBOARD • Scored in your league's own points. Your scoring rules drive every calculation, so a stat your league doesn't count contributes nothing. PPR, standard, half-PPR, category and custom leagues all rank differently, because they are genuinely different questions. • It ranks the change, not the total. Every drive and every at-bat has some scoring chance, so ranking on raw expected value produces a list that never moves. Each game is scored against a neutral baseline, which is what makes a game climb the moment it reaches the red zone and fall the moment it punts. • It knows when your players stop mattering. Substituted hitters, pulled pitchers and inactive players drop out on the next refresh, so you are never sent to a game your player has already left. NO SPOILERS — BY DESIGN BetterView never shows a score, a stat line, or what just happened. It tells you a game is worth switching to and gives a vague situational reason — "goal to go", "on deck" — and nothing more. It also never alerts you about a play that already happened. Live data often reaches a browser later than the broadcast reaches your screen, so "your running back just scored" would frequently arrive after you'd already watched it. Instead it flags situations that have not resolved yet, which are knowable a minute or more ahead. SWITCHING, WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR SERVICE BetterView only ever moves you within the streaming service you are already using. It will never send you to a service you don't pay for, and on a site it doesn't recognise it does nothing at all. It recognises the major North American sports streaming and TV-provider services out of the box — including MLB.TV, ESPN and Prime Video — and the full list is in the screenshots. You can also enable it on any other site yourself, one site at a time. How reliably a given game can be reached depends on what that service holds the rights to. Once it lands on the game, it tries to press that service's own play button so you don't have to. Some players won't allow that, in which case you press play as usual. Auto-switch mode is optional and off by default. When on, it moves you to the best game itself, with a hold timer so it can never bounce you between two close games. PRIVACY • No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. • Your league and settings are stored on your own computer and are never uploaded. • The overlay runs only on sites you have explicitly enabled it for. • It never asks for or sees your fantasy provider password.
