How EV works

Expected value is the average profit per dollar if you made the same bet forever. Formula: EV = (your probability × decimal odds) − 1. Positive means the price is in your favor; negative means the market is.

Example: +130 is 2.30 in decimal. If you think the true chance is 48%, EV = 0.48 × 2.30 − 1 = +0.104, i.e. +10.4% per dollar — a strong +EV bet, because 48% beats the ~43.5% the price implies.

Your edge is simply your probability minus the market's implied probability. Consistent positive edge — verified against results, not vibes — is the entire game. It's what KalEdge's Scout hunts for across thousands of markets daily.
