Value Bet Formulas

The mathematics behind finding +EV opportunities

Edge Calculation

Edge = Sharp% - Book%

Sharp 50% vs Book 45% = 5% Edge

Expected Value

EV = (P × Odds) - 1

50% × 2.20 - 1 = +10% EV

Implied Probability

Prob = 1 / Decimal Odds

1 / 2.00 = 50%

Kelly Stake

f = (bp - q) / b

Optimal stake for your edge

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A value bet occurs when a bookmaker offers odds that imply a lower probability than the true probability of an outcome. If you consistently bet on value, you will profit in the long run regardless of short-term variance.
We compare bookmaker odds against sharp bookmaker prices (like Pinnacle). The difference in implied probability is your edge. For example, if Pinnacle implies 50% and a soft book implies 45%, you have a 5% edge.
A 2-3% edge is considered good, 5%+ is excellent. However, higher edges are rarer. Consistently betting small edges (+2%) can still be very profitable over time with proper bankroll management.
Pinnacle is known as a sharp bookmaker with low margins (1-3%) and accurate pricing. Their odds are considered close to true probabilities, making them an excellent benchmark for finding value at soft bookmakers.
Use the Kelly Criterion formula for optimal staking. A common approach is to use fractional Kelly (25-50%) to reduce variance. Never risk more than 1-5% of your bankroll on a single bet.
Yes, soft bookmakers may limit or restrict winning accounts. To prolong account life, avoid max-betting value, use round stake amounts, and bet on popular markets. Consider using betting exchanges.
CLV measures if you consistently beat the closing line (odds at event start). Positive CLV is the best indicator of long-term profitability and shows you're finding genuine value.

Find Positive Expected Value Bets

Our professional value bet finder automatically identifies positive expected value (+EV) betting opportunities by comparing odds from soft bookmakers against sharp market prices. Value betting is the mathematical foundation of profitable sports betting.

The tool uses Pinnacle as the benchmark for true odds, as they are recognized as one of the sharpest bookmakers with the lowest margins in the industry. When other bookmakers offer higher odds than Pinnacle, that difference represents your edge and potential profit.

Consistently betting on value opportunities, even with small edges of 2-3%, leads to significant long-term profits. The key is volume and proper bankroll management—the more value bets you place, the more your results converge to your expected edge.
