What is Positive Expected Value (+EV) Betting?

Positive Expected Value, commonly known as +EV, is the cornerstone of long-term profitable sports betting. It represents situations where the potential payout offered by a sportsbook is greater than the true likelihood of that outcome occurring. Finding and consistently wagering on +EV bets is how professional bettors gain a sustainable sports betting edge over the house.

Expected Value Explained

Expected Value (EV) is a statistical concept calculating the average outcome you can expect from a bet if you were to place it an infinite number of times. A positive EV indicates a bet is expected to be profitable in the long run, while a negative EV suggests it's likely to lose money over time. The formula is: (Probability of Winning * Amount Won per Bet) - (Probability of Losing * Amount Lost per Bet). Our tool automatically calculates this, presenting you with only the profitable bets that show a positive result from this formula.

How BetterSlip Finds +EV Bets

Identifying value betting opportunities requires knowing the "true" probability of an outcome. BetterSlip achieves this with high accuracy by:

  • Analyzing Sharp Markets: We constantly monitor odds from the world's sharpest sportsbooks – those with the most accurate pricing and lowest margins.
  • Calculating No-Vig Fair Odds: We remove the sportsbook's built-in commission (the "vig" or "juice") from these sharp market odds to determine the true, unbiased probability of each outcome.
  • Comparing Across the Market: Our sports betting software then compares these fair odds to the odds offered by dozens of other sportsbooks (like FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, etc.).
  • Flagging Value: When a sportsbook offers odds significantly better (higher payout) than our calculated fair odds, that bet is flagged as a +EV bet, indicating a mathematical edge for you.

+EV vs. Arbitrage: Understanding the Difference

While both are strategies used by sharp bettors, they differ fundamentally. Arbitrage guarantees a small, risk-free profit on a single event by betting all outcomes. Positive EV betting does not guarantee profit on every bet; you are betting on *one* outcome that is statistically undervalued. Individual +EV bets will win and lose, but over many bets, the mathematical edge ensures long-term profitability. +EV often presents higher potential profit margins per bet than arbitrage but comes with variance (upswings and downswings).

Why +EV Betting is Crucial

Consistently finding and betting +EV opportunities is the only mathematically proven way to be profitable at sports betting over the long haul, aside from pure arbitrage. It requires discipline, proper bankroll management, and access to fast, accurate data – precisely what BetterSlip's Positive EV Finder provides. It allows you to beat the books not through luck, but through methodical, data-driven mathematical betting.

A Positive EV Bet Example

Our Positive EV Finder identifies an NBA game moneyline bet:

Bet Offer (e.g., Caesars)

Lakers to Win: +120

(Implied Probability: 45.45%)

BetterSlip Fair Odds

Lakers True Odds: +105

(True Probability: 48.78%)

Here's why this is a +EV bet:

  • The odds offered (+120) imply the Lakers have a 45.45% chance of winning.
  • BetterSlip's fair line (+105) indicates the Lakers' true probability of winning is higher, at 48.78%.
  • Since the odds offered pay out as if the probability is lower than it truly is, you have a mathematical edge.

Calculating the Edge:

The Expected Value percentage for this bet is calculated as +7.3%.

This means for every $100 wagered on this type of bet over the long run, you'd expect to profit $7.30. While this single bet might win or lose, consistently betting opportunities with a similar edge leads to profit.

BetterSlip instantly performs these complex fair odds and EV calculations across thousands of markets, highlighting the most profitable opportunities for you.

+EV Betting FAQs

What does Positive Expected Value (+EV) mean in betting?

Positive Expected Value (+EV) means a bet is statistically profitable over the long run because the odds offered by the sportsbook are higher than the true probability of the outcome occurring. By consistently placing +EV bets, you gain a mathematical edge over the sportsbook.

How does BetterSlip calculate the "fair" odds or true probability?

BetterSlip utilizes advanced algorithms that analyze odds from the sharpest sportsbooks worldwide (those known for highly accurate pricing) and other market data points. By removing the sportsbook's margin (vig) and aggregating this sharp market data, we arrive at a highly accurate estimation of the true probability, often referred to as "no-vig fair odds".

Is Positive EV betting guaranteed profit like arbitrage?

No, +EV betting is not guaranteed profit on every single bet. It's a long-term strategy. Individual +EV bets can still lose, but because you are consistently betting with a mathematical edge, you are expected to be profitable over a large number of bets due to the law of large numbers. It involves variance, unlike risk-free arbitrage.

How much bankroll do I need for +EV betting?

While you can start with any amount, +EV betting requires a sufficient bankroll to withstand statistical variance (losing streaks). Proper bankroll management (e.g., betting only 1-3% of your bankroll per wager) is crucial. A larger bankroll allows for more bets and smoother long-term growth.
