What is Positive Expected Value (EV) Betting?

Positive EV Betting is a math-driven sports betting strategy which fundamentally relies on the efficient market hypothesis applied to sports bets. We first collect the odds for a particular betting market and estimate the true odds of either side of the bet winning. If we books with odds that are better than the market says they should be, we have what’s called positive expected value (+EV) and so we make the bet. While any individual bet will win or lose, since math is on our side we expect to win over the long term.

Why is Positive EV Betting So Profitable?

Positive EV betting puts the overall odds in the bettor’s favor. It’s like being the casino that offers a blackjack game. While a Positive EV bettor certainly won’t win every day, or even every month, in the long-term math will win.

Is Positive EV Betting the Only Profitable Sports Betting Strategy?

Heaven’s no! It’s simply one of the most straightforward to understand and execute when you have enough data, can make the calculations, and take action, all before the opportunity goes away. Positive EV betting, which is basically power-shopping for good deals on sports bets, can also enhance other strategies — so it’s a great place to start.

If Winning Money with Positive EV Betting is So Easy, Why Doesn’t Everybody Do It?

We never said it was easy! Positive EV betting can be a grind, and even with great bets normal outcome variance can test the patience and resolve of even the best bettors. While Positive EV betting can be a fun side hustle, and will likely lead to significant profits, this is not an elevator that only goes up. If it was, then it wouldn’t exist because THEN it would be so easy that everyone would do it! It is actually that roller coaster of variance that discourages enough bettors to give the rest of us the opportunity. THANK GOODNESS FOR VARIANCE!
