Closing Line is the term given to any particular odds that have been set.

The betting term Closing Line is often extended to Closing Line Value, but it is the same thing.

Closing Line refers to the difference between the odds a punter takes and the odds that are on offer once a sporting event starts. Before the Closing Line is set, odds may be adjusted depending on how many bets are placed on that outcome.
