How it works

Expected value weighs what you win when the bet lands against what you lose when it doesn't, using your probability for each. A positive number means the price is better than your estimate of the true odds; over many bets like it, that's profit.

The break-even probability is what the odds imply. You only have an edge when your win probability is above it.

EV = p × (decimal × stake − stake) − (1 − p) × stake

EV % = EV / stake × 100

break-even p = 1 / decimal
