​
Understanding EV

Expected Value (EV) shows your long-term profit expectation:
  • Positive EV (+): You have an edge over the sportsbook
  • Negative EV (-): Sportsbook has an edge over you
  • Zero EV: Fair bet, no edge either way
Example:
  • Line: LeBron James Over 25.5 Points
  • Odds: +110
  • Probability: 55%
  • EV: +12.5%
This means over many bets, you’d expect to profit 12.5% of your stake.

​
Best Practices

Prioritize bets with EV >10% for the best long-term results
Don’t put all your bankroll on one bet. Spread risk across 5-10 props
Always verify player status before betting. Injured or resting players invalidate the analysis
High EV opportunities disappear fast as sportsbooks adjust lines. Bet quickly when you find value
Keep a betting log to verify that your actual results match the expected value
