A value bet occurs when a bookmaker's odds imply a lower probability than the true likelihood of an outcome. When EV = (odds × true_probability) − 1 > 0, you have a mathematical edge over the bookmaker.

How is Expected Value (EV) calculated?

EV = (odds × true_probability) − 1. We calculate true probability by removing the bookmaker's margin (vig) from sharp-book consensus odds (Pinnacle, Betsson). Any bet with EV > 0% is mathematically profitable long-term.

How accurate are EVBets predictions?

EVBets tracks every signal publicly on our Results page. Historical CLV (Closing Line Value) is positive, confirming systematic edge identification. We don't guarantee profits — variance requires 500+ bets to evaluate statistical significance.

HOW WE FIND VALUE BETS →

How We Find Value Bets

We compare odds from 94 bookmakers every 30 minutes using The Odds API. For each market, we calculate the no-vig (fair) probability by removing the bookmaker's margin. When a bookmaker offers odds that imply a lower probability than the true no-vig probability, that's a value bet with positive EV.

Formula: EV = (odds × true_probability) − 1. Only bets with EV between 1% and 20% are shown — outliers above 20% are calculation artifacts.
